    - NVIDIA GForce 6150 Driver Issue with Vista I upgraded to Vista after purchasing my computer in Dec. For some reason, everytime I start my computer, I get a box saying Windows needs to install Divice Driver for NVIDIA GForce 6150... If I let it download, it messes up my computer and I can't get online. I had to call my internet service provider and have them help me to go back to before it installed. But the problem is that each time I restart the computer, the same message comes up. Obviously there is no way around this update but if it is not compatible with Vista or my computer, what can be done? Thanks. Marie Tag: right click menu Tag: 351112

    - Which external HDD is compatible with Vista x64? I am trying to find an external hard disk drive that is fully compatible with Vista x64. I purchased a Western Digital My Book Premium II drive and it doesn't work properly even though their web site states that is Vista compatible. I contacted them and they fairly ridiculed me for assuming that that meant it would be compatible with 64-bit Vista. I can still use the drive to actually copy files to but there is no 64-bit driver so the bundled software doesn't work and Vista keeps telling me that it needs to install a driver for this device. I contacted Seagate about their FreeAgent Pro product and they claim it should work even though there is also no 64-bit driver for it. I don't trust that statement after my experience with the WD drive. Does anyone have an external HDD that works fully with Vista x64? -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) Tag: right click menu Tag: 351109

    - User-oriented vs subject-oriented storage configuration Whenever you want to store something in Vista, it directs you by default to your own user's storage area, and not to a specific disk (or disk directory). The way user-oriented storage is organised (named) changes with every version of OS, which creates havoc if you're interested in storing information in an orderly manner for more than about , 6 months, or if you use more than one OS. Similarly, by default, Unix/Linux lets you write only to your own area. The reason for this is apparantly security To an ordinary user, this user-based system is absurd: the most obvious example is that family photos should go into a shared family photos directory, not to some obscure user-specific storage area with an alias instead of a name. With V*sta, every time you want to store a photo, you have to click on 'My computer' (or whatever it is in English nowadays), and then work through the directory structure. Another example of M$ user-unfriendliness: I had to stop using Excel when M$ decided (W2000) that template files (xlt) should be user-specific (each user needs his/her own copy in his/her own user area; try maintaining that for 40 users...). That isn't what templates are about. Why can't an OS have an option that allows a user to have the disk structure as the default 'save' option for storage? Regards Tag: right click menu Tag: 351050

    - "Computer" on Vista Home Premium This morning while on at our Club's Computer Class room, I was performing some updates on one of the new (yesterday) HP desktop computers. Then, I thought I would place some images on the computer for use in the Photoshop class. No matter how I opened the "Computer" I could see the folders on the left. Once I would click on a folder to display the contents, the contents appeared but the folders went away. Therefore there was no means of using drag and drop to move the images from the USB flash drive to the Pictures folder. As it turned out, there is no way to drag and drop any file to any folder. Any thoughts? Tag: right click menu Tag: 350992

    - SP1 - big disappointment for me I have been hanging on with Vista in case SP1 fixed all the bugs and have been running it for a few days now - but still the big problems persist - I still get random catastrophic USB failures. Seems that Vista just cannot cope with multiple USB connections as well as XP can. The folder settinsg seem to get remembered a bit better now, but I still cannot understand the "logic" which decides what folders are opened with what settings. They just seem totally random to me, bearing no relation to the content. At least now the manual changes are remembered until the next time though..... It is still dismally slow to reboot. And still the annoying "permission required" warnings when I want to delete something obviously redundant (eg leftover foldes from uninstalled software). Still too much bloat and incompatibility with other microsoft products (eg microsoft fingerprint reader and sidebar do not coexist without conflict, windows fax files are not included in Vista backups and you can't move the fax default folder to somewhere that is included in backups without crashing fax, DEP still prevents downloading of jpeg movies from a microsoft telephone via microsoft mobile device center, and liveone care still not properly compatible with Vista). If Microsoft can't even make their own products compatible with one another then it is no surprise that Vista does not work with a whole load of other perfectly good software. DISASTER!!! I'm now taking the plunge to format and reinstall everything on XP. Thank you Microsoft for wasting my time!!! Tag: right click menu Tag: 350976

    - Copy user profiles / overwriting defalut profile The setup of my pc was done from a local admin account. Now i'm going to join a domain but the new profile is done on basis of "default user". I tried to copy the 'admin' profile into the 'default' profile (loged on from a third account with admin prev) doing: 1. Control Panel\System. 2. Click on Advanced System Settings. 3. Click Settings button under the User Profiles section. 4. Click the profile you want to copy. 5. Click Copy to and type in or browse for the profile you want to overwrite. 6. Click the Permitted to use button and add all user accounts that you want to give full control of the profile to. 7. Click Ok. Vista tells me that there is someting wrong with the new (domainbased) profile and as a result using a 'temporary' profile. Instead of coping to 'default' profile i tried to copy to the domain profile => no error messages but a complete migration of the conf. is not done (desktop background, icons etc) Any suggestions?

    - My Favorites has moved to a folder I went to my favorites today (the yellow star symbol on the browser) and got this message C:\users\ch\videos\favorites\ favorites refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or a network, then try again. If it still cannot be located it may have been moved to a different location. Now I have been using the pc every day and have made no changes of which I am aware. I only managed to find where my favorites had gone, by using SEARCH. I found them in a folder all set out in individual folders. But clicking the "star" only brings up the error message I mentioned, and trying "add to Favorites" puts them in the folder mentioned above. I discovered they are in a folder named Vista (C:) >users>ch>videos>favourites, which I never made, as far as I am aware. I want to know how to get them back to the conventional list I had before. I have Windows Vista and IE7. Tag: right click menu Tag: 350953

    - Windows update and SP1 FYI, SP1 would not appear for me in the Windows Update even though all hardware and software met MS' spec's for Vista. I did upgrade my sound card and software in order to meet spec's. I decided to download SP1 from MS download page to get the standalone version. After waiting a couple weeks and reading this and other NG's I decided to install SP1. It installed with out a hitch. I didn't need to un-hook USB devices as was recommended in these NG's and I didn't need to disconnect my UPS. Mater of fact SP1 recommends that you connect to a UPS so you won't lose power while installing. The only things I did disable where Windows Defender Fire walls and Virus autoscan protection. Every thing else was left as is. -- Bob Eyster MS Windows Vista Home Premium Tag: right click menu Tag: 350946

    - Help! MS Internet Explorer toasted! Hello All, I apologize for what may seem like excessive length of message: please be patient. My daughter came to me the other day with her Dell Inspiron 1531 (IIRC) laptop complaining that is was taking forever to start up. I mean it was never fast but it has really gone to extremes. Anyway one thing I noticed is that MS Internet Explorer, when started, returns and error pinpointing Google Toolbar then shuts down. What's the best way to repair or re-install MSIE? My understanding is that MSIE is integral to Vista so this could be at the root of some other problems, such as that the window that is supposed to open for "Default Applications" immediately shuts. Also, updates sit there waiting on the tool bar in spite of the fact that it is set to update automatically. When I click on the icon a window opens and shuts immediately. I did a boot time scan with Avast! which generated an list of obscurely named files which it said were damaged and unreadable. They are all located folders which I guess would normally be hidden. I am wondering if these have anything to do with the registry and are therefore slowing things down as Vista struggles to rebuild. Another clue in that direction is that Ad-Aware hangs when trying to do the deep registry scan. If I skip that part of the scan it hangs during the file scan one or another obscurely named file. I have not yet correlated one these with the list generated by Avast!, maybe it will not be necessary if I can find another way to address these problems. Thank You in Advance for Any Suggestions, -plh -- Where are we going and why am I in this HAND BASKET?? Tag: right click menu Tag: 350903

    - Vista SP1 with Outlook 2007 "Not Responding" Just FYI.... I only posted this here because the issue appeared only after SP1 update. In case anyone else sees this. After installing SP1 I found that my Outlook 2007 would go into "Not Responding" mode after being open for an hour or so. This did not happen pre-Vista SP1. The Outlook process could not be ended via Task Manager. Only a reboot using the hardware switch would work. Shutdown would stall. Ugly. I had been using my .pst file via a mapped drive (the .pst was actually located on a network 2003 server, not the local Vista machine). Some of you may know that MS has never supported a remote .pst file. However, this sort of configuration is not uncommon in the Enterprise due to the ease in which .pst files can be baked up on the server. Also, I was still running the "Win98-2002" .pst file format. Fix: Reconfigured the .pst file to be on the local drive in the default location (i.e. C:\users\<profilename>\appdata\local\Microsoft\Outlook) using the newer "2003-2007" Outlook format and imported the old .pst into the new. No more "Not Responding" issues with MS Outlook. -Frank Tag: right click menu Tag: 350895

    - Desktop Files on Server? I have no idea what has happend but its become quite a problem. A few days ago, I used remote desktop to connect to our server (terminal services) and upon connecting I noticed all the icons/files from my local machine's desktop were now on my desktop of the server. I minimize the session to see that the icons/files that I had on the server desktop are now on my local machine's desktop. As if they were now mirrored. Not thinking too much about it, I went back on the server and deleted the files so that only my server desktop items remained. Upon logging off and returning to my local machine I noticed now that my normal desktop icons were gone from my local machine. I looked everywhere for them but they were completely gone. I have heard of sharing Printers and Drives with remote desktop, and those settings can be turned on and off. But I do not see anything about my desktop.

    - Notebook Power Management This is my first notebook PC, an HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium, and I'm trying to figure out the quirks of power management as related to sleep & hibernate. In the advanced power settings, one setting says (for example) to sleep after 30 minutes and another says hibernate after 90 minutes. I understand the difference between sleep & hibernate, but my questions are these: 1) This means that after 30 minutes of no activity, it will go into sleep mode. So then after another 60 minutes, is it supposed to automatically "wake up" and go into hibernate mode? This does not seem to be happening. 2) If I put it into sleep mode by closing the cover, should it transition to hibernate after the 90-minute period? My theory is that it keeps waking up from sleep mode due to scheduled events, and that's keeping it from going into hibernate. I also have seen that there are ways that the notebook can wake up from sleep mode. In fact, I think it's hard to keep it from doing this since there's always some software that wants to check for updates over the network or whatever. But is there a way that it can be awakened when it is hibernating? Hibernate is pretty much the same as powered off except for the memory contents being saved to disk. As far as I know, the only thing that can then wake it up would be the BIOS, but I don't see any settings in the BIOS that might allow this (I know that the network interface can do this for systems that are remote-booted from a server). But I swear that I put the notebook into hibernate the other night and yesterday I went in and it was just in the sleep state! Tag: right click menu Tag: 350860

    - display problem Problem is with an Acer 5103 laptop running Vista Home Premium. After several months of fairly satisfactory operation apart from the normal unexpected shutdowns there is now a more serious problem. When online the fonts in drop down boxes are so small as to be almost unreadable. On the Google start page the "Google Search/I feel lucky" text is very small as is the text when I type in the search box. I thought this was a browser problem until I came to use Excel today and found the column widths had closed right down and the column letters and row numbers were very small. I have checked in "Advanced Appearance" and all the settings seem correct. The computer is not one I normally use but it seems to me that the whole appearance of the display is rather unusual, but this may be because I am used to XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Win Explorer in Vista - How to set (detail) display info 4 all fol In Win XP I could set the DETAIL display columns and have is apply as the default for all folders. This saves me setting tha same info over and ovar again. (1) Can Ido the same in Vista - Windows Explorer? (2) Where do I need to go to invoke a system wide default for all folders? I have attempted to do this in Win Explorer / "File-Folder Content Header by right clicking then selecting More... then checking & arranging the Headers I wish to see. But this only works for only the one folder highlighted. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NAME / SIZE / MODIFY DATE / CRESTE DATE & TYPE FOR ALL FOLDERS DISPLAYED IN THE DETAIL VIEW. Trying to figure how to do this? ON the way to finding this location I searched the postings with the search phrase "WINDOWS EXPLORER FILE CONTENT DISPLAY SETTINGS" "WINDOWS EXPLORER DISPLAY SETTINGS" "WINDOWS EXPLORER" Over 90% of the offerings were about Internet Explorer issues.

Does anyone know how to clean up the right click menu? In XP I used TweakUI

Hi Mema,

Are you referring to the context menu entries, or the entries that're =
populated when you click the "New" menu? TweakUI for Windows XP doesn't =
have an option to manage context menu entries.
