View 9 RepliesThe Office 2007 icon on my start menu inexplicably became nonfunctional this week. I'm running Vista Home Premium x32. I tried uninstalling Office 2007, but I get the message: "Setup could not find any available products to install. Please contact your system administrator." If I try to reinstall using the original disc, I get the message: "Setup has stopped working." I've tried to follow the instructions at 'How to uninstall the 2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us) for uninstalling without using the add/remove program, but I am unable to go to any "choose details" menu on the view tab ... it doesn't exist, so I can't continue the instructions from there. I don't have a second drive to try installing the disc from there. The disc is brand-new, not dirty or damaged. I've defragged the computer.

I just bought a Hp 8300 with the Windows media center running Vista. If I try and watch the TV, it will pause and need to restart the computer to use the computer. It just locks up. Hp Tech support had me install new drivers, then they had me do the reinstall to original settings.. It worked until I tried to record, then it locked up again and the TV doesn't work again. It will lock up after watching the TV about 15 seconds. I returned the computer and got another one, it does the same thing, Tech support told me I had a bad tuner (on 2 computers?) they sent me a new tuner, that didn't work. Then they said I needed to reinstall the factory settings from the disk, they sent that to me and that did not fix the problem. The computer did not come with a new monitor and I am using a Sony flatscreen, its about 4 years old. Is that my problem? I'm going to take the computer to the store and let them see if they can make it work with a new monitor.

Vista search doesn't seem to work at all on my computer. Indexing Options (from the Control Panel) says that 34,894 items are indexed and Indexing Options lists Microsoft Office Outlook, Offline Files, and Start Menu and Users in the Included Locations and the Exclude column shows "Default" Opposite Users in the Included locations. If I go to Advanced in Indexing Options and check various common file types like .doc and .xls they are marked (the box is checked) for index file names and contents. if I go to a folder that has a bunch of .xls file and type in the search box the start of a file name that I can plainly see in the list of files in that folder, the full list of files in that folder collapses to a list of one extraneous file that isn't at all what I'm looking for. I have just re-built
the index and still have the sam problem. Needless to say search for file content doesn't work either - since I can't even search for file names.
if I click on Start > Control Panel -- click on Programs -- under Programs and features -- click on. Turn Windows features on or off" -- the box next to ???Indexing Service??? is unchecked. That doesn't make sense to me because the Indexing Options has indexed things.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst disclaimer... I'me really a network novice. I've used XXCOPY and Robocopy to successfully back up entire volumes to an eSATA connected drive, but when I try to do the same to a newly acquired NAS drive, it doesn't work right. Instead of copying "only" the files that are new (or changed since the last backup), Robocopy copies every file over again. And XXCOPY (free version) won't copy at all to the NAS drive. I downloaded the 60day trial of XXCOPY home, and it does work right, (except it recopies lots of zipped files) but XXCOPY home costs $40. Here's a typical command (from a batch file) for each: Robocopy E: \DLINKVolume_1E-BACKUP /MIR /R:1 /W:1 and xxcopy e: \dlinkvolume_1e-backup /clone/ff I also found RichCopy, which I tried, and find it also copies files that are already in place on the NAS drive. Could it be that I have a problem with the way I've set up the NAS? I'm probably overlooking something basic,

Now in Vista Business 64 bit SP2, it runs incredibly slowly, to the point where it isn't really useable anymore. Does anyone else use DotColor, and have they found a way to get it to run in Vista? Or is there another freeware equivalent that will tell you the RGB/CMYK/Hex value of any pixel on the screen?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista Business, and was successfully using Windows FAX and SCAN. The F&S software is presently in an awkward and unusable state. The F&S software will not allow me to configure a FAX Account. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my modem (Zoom 3025C, Conexant chip set). Vista has the modem configured on COM3, and the modem is visible from CONTROL PANEL>PHONE AND MODEM as well as the device manager.F&S has no accounts configured. When I attempt to add an account, it reports "No modems configured". I uninstalled the modem driver and the modem software. I tried the same steps using another Agere 56k fax modem, but obtained the same results. Can anyone recommend a troubleshooting process, for either fixing this, or for resetting the F&S modem database? Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall F&S?

Somehow every time I boot up my computer, it always reaches to the login screen, displaying two accounts and I cannot seem to use the mouse or the keyboard. It seems to be stuck and Num Lock on the keyboard doesn't work. The mouse is unable to move and pressing the power button on the computer seems to just shut down without holding it down. When I reboot, I come to the options with booting it up regularly, safe mode, safe mode with network options, etc. None of the work, and the same situation happens. I do not know all the current specs on my vista, but here is what I do know.

2. A blank screen, something I can't explain, appeared over the screen of Mail. I could not access the Start Button. I did an and picked 'Task Manager', but it never appeared.
