    - Copy/Move files better, but... Just dragged 2.0 GB of files from Documents to my Desktop and the move was instant, as we are all used to in XP. However... If I press Ctrl+Z to undo the move I get "Calculating time remaining" message for about 30 seconds while it thinks about it. Vista is still not ready, Microsoft! Tag: backup software Tag: 355644

    - how do I remove nginx on my windows vista laptop I run my laptop at work and the big LAN guys monitor various things that could be suspect. Today I was told that nginx is running on my laptop's IP, occasionally spiking, and making them nervous. I run Windows Vista Home addition and I don't need a server on it. I have been reading that nginx is a web servrer, like apache. Which is all fine and good but I don't know how it got on my laptop, and I don't know how to get it off. Perhaps it installed with some other application? My work thinks it may be spam, adware, malware, or otherwise malicious. If anyone knows how I can remove this please let me know. I've spent the last couple hours on google and all I can find about nginx is that it's a web and mail server, I can't find what apps might use it, and how I can remove it.

    - Vista 64 problems I currently dual-boot Vista 32-bit Home Premium and Vista 64-bit Ultimate, both OEM versions. I have no problems with the 32-bit installation. I was counting on SP1 to solve two problems with the 64-bit installation but it did not. Problem 1: My DVD/RW disc (NEC DVD+-RW ND-3650A) will not read or write discs. Device Manager reports no problems with the drive but it will not read a disc and when I try to access it with Windows Explorer, Explorer freezes. Problem 2: Internet Explorer freezes for no apparent reason. This is not the same problem I have seen posted here. I get no error message - it just freezes when a link is clicked. I must use Task Manager to close it. Problem Event Name: AppHangB1 Application Name: iexplore.exe Application Version: 7.0.6001.18000 Application Timestamp: 47919813 Hang Signature: e49e Hang Type: 2052 OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Hang Signature 1: 13a0399de88b943c2b4f58c7e76e26f2 Additional Hang Signature 2: da66 Additional Hang Signature 3: 8fe9bde4331d4b36a013c8716b08932a Additional Hang Signature 4: 86e3 Additional Hang Signature 5: 298605ab0bbbdccb3d856dcfddf0f004 Additional Hang Signature 6: 4fdc Additional Hang Signature 7: 4a2fd3749f93074e08c1a0bb049be2bb Extra information about the problem Bucket ID: 198469168 Can anyone help with either of these problems?

    - Can't View My Documents from Enclosure I have a new laptop and I connected it to an enclosure that has my old hard drive. When I go to windows explorer in Vista, I'm not able to see my old "My Documents" folder, which I think was located at "C: \Documents and Settings\My Documents". I can't even find any files that were in that folder using "Search" on the entire drive. However, I can see other files that were saved outside of that "My Documents" folder. Any ideas why this is happenning? One thing I left out is that my old computer crashed. When I tried to start it, the following error came up: Error Message: Windows Could Not Start Because the Following File Is Missing or Corrupt: \Winnt\System32\Config\Systemced I didn't have the repair disk to fix the problem above, so I decided that I'd just transfer my old files to my new computer.

    - Quick Reference Guides When I turn a Vista PC over to one of our users, I would like to give them a quick reference guide. While I plan to have some training sessions, when actually faced with Vista for the first time, it can be a little overwhelming, espieically for the ones who are not too good with PC's to begin with. I was thinging that if I could give them a quicl reference guide that tells them how to do the basics in Vista that they use in XP all the time, that might help. Does anyone know of a book or whitepaper that might help me with this? Other ideas for wasing the transition for my users? -- Bettie Tag: backup software Tag: 355384

    - DVD Drive Ownership Blocked Hi, I have two Acer desktop computers with Vista Business SP1 they both have blocked security permissions on the DVD Drive. There is a crossed out circle on the icon, and I cannot access any discs from the drive (it opens empty). "Access is denied" when I try to access it through the command prompt. In the Security Properties of the drive the Current Owners is "Unable to display current owner". I am unable to add a member or group to the ownership there. Is tells me "Unable to set new owner on DVD RW Drive (E:). Access is denied". I'm accessing all this through the built-in Administrator account, and have opened the command prompt as Administrator. *I have been able to get in through Safe Mode in the Administrator account, but still have been unble to find a way to open this up for users and admins.

    - windows.old cannot be deleted... Hi. I reinstalled Vista (x64 ultim., in Italian) upon a previous installation, then another time, 'cause the previous one went bad (drivers' issues; black screen); so I've got "windows.old" and a "windows01.old" folders. I easily deleted the latter, then I rebooted and tried to delete the former. Thus I hit "DEL", and deleted the folder (some 10 gb). Thereafter I rebooted, but... windows.old is still there on the root! Thus I tried to delete it, but the prompt said (I approximate a "translation" from italian to English) "impossible to find the item; it is no more present in c:. please check the item's path and try again" OMG! But how! I see it! It is still there! What can I do please? I want to remove it at all costs; it is like a challenge, 'cause I feel very frustrated that I have installed a OS behaving such a way!

    - Weird Virtual PC behavior I have Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 installed on my Vista machine. However, if I go to Start, Programs and select Microsoft Virtual PC, nothing happens. Well, that's not strictly true. The logo flashes on screen for a second or two, and there's a presence on the taskbar. But if I click on the Virtual PC item on the taskbar it just disappears. However, if I double-click on the .vmc file the program opens fine. This is a problem because I can't seem to change the setting for my chosen virtual machine. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Virtual PC but that didn't solve it. It worked fine up until a couple of days ago. Anyone any thoughts? Thanks Edward Tag: backup software Tag: 355228
