    - Moving around the desktop when using large custom font size Trying to help a visually-impaired friend, running Vista Home Premium ,to enlarge text and icons , I set the custom dpi size to maximum (500%). Now we can only see a small piece of the desktop and I can't find a way to move around on the desktop. As a result I can't reduce the font size to something more manageable. Can anyone tell me how to navigate around the desktop under these conditions? -- Ron Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 374219

    - Searching for file by name I am a newcomer to Vista. In XP I could quickly fine a file, for example, named "Orient Express" by using Flag F, all files and folders, then simply entering Orient or any fragment of the title. Very shortly thereafter a received a complete list of all files (anywhere in the computer) that contained the specified text fragment in their titles. I am almost certainly being blind to progress but will someone please detail the EXACT sequence of entries to achieve this same search objective in Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

    - Word&Excel:Add-Edit Toolbar&Buttons:Autocorrect to Excel Toolbar!! OK, I give up!!! How do I create a new toolbar? How do I edit the Toolbar Command Buttons (Icons?)? How do I create and add an Autocorrect (AC) Command Button to an Excel Toolbar??? NOW the Complaints: I HATE the ribbons, period? I LOVED the nice, neat, useful, and tiny toolbars I created and edited in the 2003 programs and this 'RIBBON' thing is the most obnoxious thing ever !! I REALLY fell bad for those laptop dudes and dudettes, especially the 15" (or smaller) screens. I have a nice, new, big 19" and I find the useless and extravagant space requirements for the "Ribbon" (who came up with that one, anyway?) EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I used to have three to six shortened, "CUSTOMER"-ized toolbars arranged in 2 to 3 rows and made up of the commands I NEED and/or WANTED and they used up the same or less space than this stupid Ribbon!!! OH, and that's another thing, I could center them for easy access!!! When created a Macro and placed it in a toolbar a generic icon would be displayed but I could, and did, copy, paste, edit them so I could tell at a glance what command was being represented!!! I didn't care for many of the icons in the 2003 Word and Excel and I could EASILY edit them to my liking - as in something that made sense. I could and did, create different toolbars that I could easily customize, open or close depending on the type af task I was performing, and I REALLY don't like many of the Microsoft default buttons. I created numerous Macros that I added to the toolbar(s) because there were no commands available for certain tasks I wanted to shortcut. NOW, HA, I'm stuck with what Microsoft thinks I need, with what Microsoft thinks we ALL need. AS you can tell, I'm PO'd about this. I have spent more hours trying to figure a way to get what I want than it did to edit a create my old toolbars and the more hours I spend researching and trying to figure it out the more frustrating that time is and the more it takes away from creating and editing!!! HELL, why do you thing I am posting this at 5.00 AM - I can't justify spending any more time on it at work or taking time away from my family so here I am!! I started researching this AGAIN around midnight and now, another 5 hours burned up with ZILCHO TO SHOW FOR IT!! I am not at all impressed with VISTA, period, never mind the inability to CUSTOMerIZE the program toolbars I use EVERY day. It is about the customer, isn't it? My experience so far is that 2007 programs and VISTA are not an upgrade - they're more like a DOWNGRADE. OH, and I would go back to the 2003 programs but, for some odd reason, one can't very easily find a new computer with just plain old windows. Anyway, enough of the wine - I need some cheese. And any help - NO, specific answers that a non-tech like me cn understand - would be appreciated, very much!!! ps: Man, I never write stuff like this, sorry! I am just so ticked off, so frustrated with the blocks at every turn to set up and customize efficiency into my new HP laptop I just can't seem to help myself. I doubt anyone cares but at least its therapeutic - well, so 'they' say!! Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 374137

    - Publisher 2007 Fill Effects I used to have Publisher 2000 on my old computer. I've since upgraded to Vista and Publisher 2007, and all-in-all the new version is superior. However, I just went to do a fill effect for the background of a picture in my document, and I discovered much to my disappointment that many of the fill effect patterns from Publisher 2000 that were kind of cool seem to be gone. I'm referring to the simple fade-in / fade-out type patterns where you can select multiple colors to blend into one another following a pre-set geometric shape. Publisher 2000 used to have many more shapes than I have now - there used to be a variety of spirals, stars, arrows, and so forth to choose from. Now there are only some basic variations on horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and "from center". I want to know if there is any way to install just those fill effect patterns from either my old Publisher 2000 CD or from some other source so that I once again have access to them; or is it possible to have both versions of Publisher installed and functional at the same time on my computer? Thanks for any help you can give. Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 374117

    - Vista DEP Problems Microsoft Vista DEP Violation Problems I have 32 bit Microsoft Vista Ultimate. It is running on a Dell XPS420 with Q6600, 2.4GHZ quad processor that I purchased in December 2007. I have 4 GB @ 667 MHZ of memory (3.3 GB usable). I have a 256 MB ATI HD 2600 graphics card. I have a Dell Ultrasharp 22 inch monitor (1680 x 1050 pixels). I use McAfee VirusScan Plus. I have Office Professional 2003 and use Outlook for e-mail. Microsoft Works 8.5 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 came with the computer. I have 2 Optical drives E: & F: a 320 SATA hard drive C: & D: and a 250 GB SATA hard drive G: for backup. I use Embarq DSL. I have a HP psc 1210v all-in-one printer for normal use and a very simple Lexmark Z600 printer used exclusively for printing name badges. Microsoft update is auto and all Microsoft software is current. Except for Microsoft Vista SP1 which Microsoft has advised not to install. Other programs such as McAfee VirusScan, Windows Defender etc. are up to date. I had a problem with my Microsoft Vista print spooler (spoolsv.exe) stopping on Data Execution Prevention (DEP) violations from the time I installed my HP and Lexmark printers. This has been only an irritation to date as I have set the spooler to always restart 1 minute after failure. However lately I am having more programs stop on DEP violation. The Microsoft Vistaâ?? WMI Provider Hostâ?? has stopped several times on DEP. I do not know what the â??Vista WMI Provider Hostâ?? does. I did not see any adverse results with the Microsoft Vistaâ?? WMI Provider Hostâ?? stopped. So far my DEP violations have been random and inconsistent. The print spooler stops on DEP even when both printers are off. I have performed hardware checks as recommended by Dell and the computer hardware tested OK. Today however, Microsoft Vista Internet Explorer 7 failed 4 times on DEP violations. These failures were repeatable. I was filling in a grant application at the My Safe Florida Home Website. I went through several pages of questions on the website and filled in the necessary data. The final step was to â??Browseâ?? for and open my home insurance data (a .jpg file) and to â??Browseâ?? for and open my Property Appraisal (a .jpg file). Each time I clicked on browse, Microsoft Vista IE7 stopped on a DEP violation and I lost my connection to the My Safe Florida Home Website. After determining that my new Dell XSP420 computer was not able to complete the grant application, I got out my 6 year old HP Presario laptop with XP and was able to complete the grant application without any problems. Does anyone know why my very expensive Dell XPS420 computer continues to have DEP Violations. Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 374077

    - Backup is full, Not Full Backup I am trying to figure out what to do when my backup location can no longer accept new backups because it is full. I tried to do a search but the "full" just brings up references to the Full Backup you can do with Windows Vista Ultimate. Any one know where I could find out best practices for doing backups. For example, do I reformat the drive my backup is on so I can do another backup? Or do I buy a bigger drive, and continue doing this as the months go by? Do I swap for another drive to continue doing my backups, and just keep buying more drives as they get filled? Do I hope that Moore's Law also applies to hard drive storage?

    - Easy transfer autoloads on my XP machine I asked the following question in the XP help and support NG, but they told me to come here instead. I transferred what files I needed from my older XP PC to a new Vista machine. Now whenever I boot up my XP PC, the XP PC opens up a folder onto the desktop called "Microsoft" which has another folder in it called "MigWiz". I can click it closed, but it is a pain to have to do every time I turn that computer on. I tried to locate the program name running msconfig.exe, but could not find it in particular. I also went to "Add/Remove Programs...", found the program, but said that certain other programs I have would/could possibly not run right if I removed the Easy Transfer application...one of which is UPnP. Is there another way to remove the Easy transfer program? Perhaps reverting to an earlier system restore point? Thanks for your help. Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 374033

    - Vista 64 Ultimate I have installed the OS fine with 2 gb of memory and now want to add the send set of 2gb to go to 4gb. I have heard you need SP1 in order to do this. I went to update to SP1 and read some forms that if all the drivers are up to date it should come in the auto d/ls I have done all the automatic updates and no SP1. All drivers on the system are up to date. I was going to just d/l it and install mannually but read it is not a good idea as people have had major issues like blue screens ect once they do this. And it is safer to wait for automatic updates to do this to ensure system is in line with sp1. What am I to do? I want my 4gb of ram. Thanks much Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 373971

    - someone at Microsoft is very angry.. LOL I see constant deletions of post on the microsoft vista newsgroup server.. This may be due to: 1) some GLITCH (not unlikely if the newsgroups are running on windows 2008.. LOL) 2) Someone at microsoft doesn't like us saying the truth about how bad and creepy vista is! I think it's the later... So what are these MSFT guys doing? Deleting posts? Shame on them.. trying to conceal the truth about how crap vista is! If they didn't want harsh comments, people cursing vista, peoples hate posts or people just making good ol fun of vista... THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER! I don't see this crap going on on the XP newsgroup for example. WHY? Its vistas fault.. no one elses... so stop deleting messages and work faster on windows7 to make it better, because vista is already doomed. Tag: Organizing the Program Menu Tag: 373918

    - Re: How to keep making money while making CRAP products? Im fed up reading posts about how MS has sold 140 million liscences of Vista, trying to feed us the notion that somehow vista is actually a successful product. You know what I have to say about that? >>>> HOGWASH! So how does MS keep on making money while making CRAP products like VISTA?!? Simple. Create a monopoly! Yeah... the Microsoft way! Then push your new crap products on new computers .... Then say: "See? Our new product (im talking about vista here of course) is GREAT and it selling like hotcakes!" EHEMMMM.... its selling like hotcakes because you are selling it preinstalled on new computers dahh...... And then you have the stupid idiots that see the 140 million number and say ... wow... vista is great! its selling so many copies! Don't be ridiculous! That's how many new computers are sold anyway! LOL And since MS pushes its stupid new vista on new computers (you can get xp on some new computers if you go to the right place, but you must specifically ask for it... at first this was impossible to do anyway... MS had excluded XP from ALL new computers! Then some companies insisted on selling xp due to popular demand.. so MS had to comply very reluctantly!) Lol.... can some idiot vista fanboys eat this sh!t? They actually think vista is selling because its good? Give UBUNTU the monopoly for one and a half year, meaning that it will be PUSHED on new computers for 18 months like vista has, and guess what? 140 computers will have ubuntu! Then guess what? Suddenly all big software houses will have ported their apps to work on ubuntu! But lets make some thing clear... 140 mill licenses that MS claims does not mean that there are 140 million computers actually running vista-crapista. Nope, many dual boot with xp, and forget about vista, many format vista and install XP, many just hate their new vista computer and use their old XP computer to do actual work, many got the upgrade anytime vista license and never upgraded! (those are the smart ones) People who cannot think, have limited perception of reality, or just plainly believe what they want to believe (LIKE DORK FRANK the biggest idiot of this newsgroup ever), JUST GIVE ME THE CREEPS! Just think of this: If these people can eat whatever they are told, and actually become fanboys of lies, what OTHER FALSE THINGS do these people believe? These people remind me of how gullible the Germans were and started listening to Hitler's crap, and actually believed him!

    - AVG Free 8 and Vista possible conflicts? Today I downloaded the new free AVG. I have this and Spyware blaster and Super antispyware installed. I ran a scan with te AVG and it found Trojan's, adware, etc, or so it seemed.

Did the AVG somehow mistake the protection files for the The software on both mine and my dad's laptops is pretty identical, and the same result showed up on both. I wasn't sure what to do at the end. I haven't changed any settings and as I understand it all the threats were removed. At any rate I ran the scan again and nothing was found. The supposed adware etc often is listed under 'File' in AVG as HKLM \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibl... if that helps anyone identify what's happening any better. I just considered then that maybe having run 7.5 with these Vista laptops might be why these got through. From what I read compatibility with Vista machines seem to vary?
