Even after shutting-down the PC, Start - Shut-down, a green light in the middle of the PC is still on, although the PC has been shut-down completely. I need to turn-off its light by pulling off power-cable connected with the PC. Does this indicate 'malfunction' light inside the PC?

I know you can get Hold 'em on business but why can't you get it on Home Premium. I don't want or need business but would like the game. Is there anyway of getting it on Home.

I like the simplicity of Paint, even with it`s limitations. But the one draw back that is really frustrating is its low dpi resolution. When I try to print image on to a larger format, usually paper poster, the image just does not hold up. The pixel becomes distorted and image is unrecognizable. I want to be able print my drawings on to much larger mediums. Whats the solution? Is there an upgrade version of Paint. Or can anybody give me an other solution. I already know about Photoshop, Corel etc...but I am a simple illustrator.

Does anyone know if there's some reasonably easy way to get hold of all the windows updates for Vista x64 since service pack 1? I'm working on a slipstreamed disc and would like to include them, but it seems like it'll take HOURS of clicking.. And I *really* don't feel up to THAT task.

i dunno if i had a bad shutdown, a BSOD, or whatever, but every time i start up Hold 'Em, it always asks if i want to resume my saved game. it's always the same hand, same standing, and hence i can't advnace my stats. not much of a big deal since it's just and "extra", but the issue intrigues me. i took a quick look around the file system and was not able to find any directory for the game - i was hoping to delete the save file if i could find it.

Why isn't thumb drive type memory, which does not need a battery, used to hold the BIOs?

I am using Vista Ultimate 32-bit and I want to add a 'new folder' button to the button bar in my folder view. I do a LOT of file relocation and I make new folders constantly and want a one-click solution. I searched the forums first but found no solution. Thank you in advance for the help. I am NOT looking for a right-click option or a menu add-on. I just want a button.

About 40% of the time when I either choose HIBERNATE or the standard SHUT DOWN, the computer just keeps on running. Although it seems WINDOW has shut down, the "ON" light is still on and I can hear the fan running. When this happens I am left with no other option but to use the "emergency shut down" method - pressing the ON button for more than 4 seconds (ASUS laptop, using Vista Home Premium). Presumably this method would damage the computer in some ways in the long run?
I assume WINDOW is shut down because the next time when I turn on the computer it doesn't say the "WINDOW is not properly shut down". So can any kind souls please help me with this annoying problem of turning off the computer completely?

I just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. Everything I've read or
seen about it shows a round start button at the bottom. Mine has an XP-type
start button.

You know how when you go to your shut down settings on the menu bar, they say sleep, shut down, and hibernate? Yeah, well, my hibernate button disappeared. How do I get it back?

When setting up e-mail I click on tools, then options. The screen is too
large and the apply button can't be seen. The bottom of screen can't be
seen.
How do I make the screen smaller so the apply button will be exposed?

Acer tech support said do a factory restore and the Vista Forum tutorial instructions didn't fix it.
BTW, I have Vista Home Premium X32, if that makes any difference.
I did install the "Vista Start Menu" freeware and it works, but I want the
original Vista Start button back, I got used to it.

I have a problem with the arrow next to the lock button. Half of it is missing. The only thing i have found was a reg hack to remove the lock button to allow more room for the arrow. The reg change did not work and messed up my mouse and keyboard along with no sound from media player. A system restore fixed everything. Has anyone had this problem with the arrow? See attachment.

Every now and again, a strange thing happenes to my start bar. It completely freezes, and I can't click anything on there apart from the start button. I can't select any tabs, or use the system tray. If that doesn't happen, sometimes the Start button decides to freeze instead. Basically it goes dark (like it does when it has been pressed) and then it stays like that and it won't let me open it.

I have windows Vista Home Premium that came installed in my computer. My Vista is not an ugrade and I am having the same "windows is not genuine" problem. I have access to nothing but the internet! No access to my start button or anything else. My computer screen is completely black except for the "windows is not genuine" window that pops up, which allows me to get on the internet.

Is there a way of shutting down or restarting without going via the Start button? I'm guessing that there are command line commands to do it? If so what are they and how do I get a command line prompt on the desktop without going via the start button again?

When I minimize a web page the respective taskbar button will replace the previous taskbar button. For instance if I minimize web page 1, I will get a button. but when I go to web page 2 and minimize it the button replaces the button for web page 1. The buttons are not stacked. Shouldn't I get a task bar button for each web page that is minimized so that I can retrieve particular pages as desired? The taskbar button feature seems to work when opening multiple programs as described in Vista Support, but it does not seem to function with multiple windows.

Can't believe Micro apparently forgot to enable that option. The button to the far left of your tabs, is a waste, for me, yet I can't seem to remove it in any way.

I am on a laptop and desperate for task bar estate. I know you could do this for XP, but it isn't the same for vista. I want to remove the start button. I would just use the Win Key to open my menu.

I am having problems shuting down Vista 1. edition. Whatever could be the cause of this nuisance? I have to push the reset button in the middle of the shuting down process in order to get the computer to respond. This results in black screen and Advanced Startup Options. Opting for Normal Mode will start up Vista ok, but it is really annoying to have to go via Advanced Options every time I am going to boot up.

I have just bought and installed Premium 64 bit. I noticed that there is a power button to the right of the menu, when you click on the windows icon on the bottom left. This only puts the pc in sleep mode. I know that if you click on the arrow to the right, that there is the option to shut down. My question is this: Can i change the off button that is on the menu, to actally shut down the pc?? Is there an option to do that.

I somehow turned off the giant close button, the one you see in windows explorer, the internet window, and in winmail. The only problem is I liked the giant close button. I think what I did is change the theme to classic, and then back to vista, and it gave me this rounded box as a close button. I was just wondering if there was any way to put it back the way it was. Here is a picture

Recently after I go through the Shut Down procedures, I have been noting
that after the disappearance of the windows interface, the computer would
still be on and I would have to shut down by pressing the power switch for a
few seconds.
When I do not prerss this switch, windows restarts after about ten minutes;
after I receive a brief report (which I never manage to read in full)
informing me that a software may not have been properly installed or that I
need a windows update.
This problem appeared long after I installed all the software that I use,
and I have checked whether I'm fully updated (I am).
Is there a way in which I can ensure this problem does not occur when I go
through the normal shut down procedures?

Not sure if this is a hardware problem or a Vista problem. I am however leaning toward ahrdware because this can happen sometimes during post.
