    - Side Bar A very small problem compared to some of you here but........ I think the side bar is great - nice feature BUT why does it keep disappearing on my computer? It is there on the desktop when I first switch on computer and then when I open 3-4 windows and then click on the desk top icon and go back to desktop - it has disappeared! And yet if I minimize the windows and go back to desktop this way - there it is! If the window I am using is not full screen - I can see it - and yet if I click on desk top to go back to desk top - it disappears. Any ideas? Thank you Tag: Inquiry: Where to post Tag: 373328

    - Vista versus XP Today a suggestive article in Marketwatch.com mentioned the demise of Vista operating systems. It was pointed out that this is unlikely due to the overwhelming brilliant and costly staff who developed and marketed this costly venture. I am suggesting a more practical approach to this situation. Buy Apple. The message is clear. Big business is unbending in their approach to this software. The Lemming approach is in high gear. So for the Barack Obama movement in operating software to take hold, you need the candidate. Treasure your XP (A statement I thought I would never utter) and move to the most logical system available. Apple OS is bought in quantity will send a message to the bottom line that Microsoft recognizes, shareholder value. Meanwhile to all you Vista supporters, keep up the good work, you will surely help the cause. Tag: Inquiry: Where to post Tag: 373317

    - UAC and scripting What is Microsofts solution if you run vbscripts for administrative tasks and these are affected by UAC ? Swicthing UAC off requires a restart, once to disable and then once to enable UAC once script has finished running, which hardly makes the administrative change transparent to the user. Group policies are handy to do this, and was a good idea but the question is the restart thats required. You can turn it off completely and leave it off which sounds like the best idea, but I'm really curious about Microsoft's take on this ? There must be some big companies using scripts out there. How do people get around this ? cheers Tag: Inquiry: Where to post Tag: 373301

    - New "C" Drive Hello, if i install a new drive, which is to be a replacement for a failing drive, can I get away with just copying the contents off the old one onto the new one, then installing that? I seem to remember something about MBR etc. How will Vista react if I do this, will it require reactivation? Will I have to reinstall all programs that are on the other hard drives?

    - Vista SP1 question for an MVP please I have been waiting for Windows Update to offer SP1 and it has not happened yet. I am in no rush for SP1, but am beginning to wonder if it will ever be automatically offered. Should I continue to wait, or should I manually download it from the MS site. My concern is the update process might know something about my system that could cause me problems after a manual download. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    - Application installation problem I'm posting this here because I can't get any solution from teh software company. I run and rely on Xara Xtreme Pro graphic software. I've used various versions for over 10 years and currently run v3.3 very successfully on my Vista Ultimate 32 bit machine. I get a number of errors at 99% install: these inform me that the files which reside in c:/program files/common files/xara are "not found". When I then try to run the installed program I get an "internal program error 2625.k.me.ps". If I then try to run v3.3 I get the same program error! To get back to a working version of v3.3 I've had to do a disk image restore. I've disabled my AV (AVG Pro), spyware (Spyware Doctor & Windows Defender) and closed WinPatrol for good measure (it monitors registry access attempts)... there is nothing there which I could imagine would cause a problem. I've even installed as an administrator but there's no change in the errors thrown up. Thanks for any help. Steve Tag: Inquiry: Where to post Tag: 373260

    - Do you think Windows Vista is slow, crash-prone, or unreliable? Join the crowd. My comment: Im posting this to the XP newsgroup too, just so they can be even more warned about how bad vista is, and to avoid it. I still cannot understand how stupid some vista fanboys like frank and others are about vista. Here all the world is saying vista is crap, yet they put their fingers in their ears and march to their own microsoft vista tune! Article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=437 read the rest of this article on the above link Do you think Windows Vista is slow, crash-prone, or unreliable? Join the crowd. Over the past year, reviews of Windows Vista by mainstream media outlets, the technical press, bloggers, and ordinary users have been, for the most part, scathing. And many of those bad reviews were absolutely accurate. My co-authors and I just completed an extensive post-Service Pack 1 revision of our book Windows Vista Inside Out. Over the past year, we installed, upgraded, and used Windows Vista on a broad cross-section of hardware designs from nearly a dozen manufacturers. During that time, we experienced some of those same performance, reliability, and compatibility issues ourselves. What we found was simple: With a clean install on well-supported hardware, everything worked just fine. But toss in an incompatible application or a flaky video, storage, or network driver, and performance could suffer. Badly. Over the past year or so, we have also observed steady and occasionally dramatic improvements in the Windows ecosystem. Most of the large issues in Windows Vista were effectively resolved by a series of updates delivered via Windows Update, including more than 500 fixes that were rolled up into Service Pack 1. Third-party hardware makers, many of whom were slow to get working Vista drivers out the door, have since released updates that can make a huge difference in the Vista experience.

    - folder view resets itself :: BUG! I know every one here has this default Vista (even XP) problem. The problem is that the folder customization / layout never stays the way you set it, even minutes later after closing/re-opening explorer. This is driving me insane. For example, in explorer under Computer I choose large icons. Close, re-open its back to list view instead. Sometimes other folders will somehow change views by themselves too. This is really annoying. Someone suggested a fix months ago, but I do not remember how. Would appreciate tips on this. I *do* already have checked on "remember folder's view settings" enabled as well.

    - Acccounts in Vista -I'm having trouble I asked this question at the end of a longer thread I'd started, and I guess it is old news so no one looks to see that I've taken advice, but need some more. In short. I've been about a year on my Vista home prem. machine, and have not set up administrator account and so I am using it with its power that I don't quite understand, which they tell me leaves me more open to invaders etc.. So they convinced me. I tried to start a new user account, but saw that it does not have all the files and programs that I depend on. It seems to say, Start over and do all that stuff you did over a year's time all over again. Question: How do I make a user account with what I have? I'd think I could just call what I have now a user account and create an administrator account beside it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.

Started up the 2nd p.c. a while later and exactly the same problem, only this time I went for the "start" menu first and not an application. Now I think this is quite odd.

    - Install vista via Bootable USB drive Hi I had a fire a few months back which burnt my Acer T180 case. I've managed to change the case and get all the parts working again except the DVD rom which was melted and beyond repair. As my whole house is wireless I'm not really bothered about getting a new DVD rom - my other PC controls the network and has a DVD writer inside. Once vista is installed the network will take care of everything. My problem now is how do I reinstall Vista on a PC that has no DVD rom to read my Vista DVD. OK I could swap my DVD around for a few hours by its covered in warranty void stickers and as its new I don't want to risk anything. Is there anyway to convert a Bootable DVD into a Bootable USB drive? I've got a 4 Gig stick which should be fine. My motherboard also boots from USB. I've managed to make a copy of the vista DVD into ISO image but can't find a program that will put the ISO onto a USB drive. Any ideas. Seems a simple enough idea and veyr handy considering the low price of sticks. Rich Tag: Inquiry: Where to post Tag: 373025

Have already posted through OE the 'old fashioned way' (not sure how it went
through), and my post was delivered into the "Performance & Maintenance"
group. It's concerning an issue my laptop is having with a looping blue
screen error; is it posted to the correct folder, or should I move it here?

Thank you for your time, just wanted to make sure I am in the right location
for the proper assistance.

Just post it here, if it's in the wrong group there will be no shortage of
people yelling at you. Then you'll know.
