    - lost the sounds within Microsoft outlook I have been using Office 2007 for about a year, and this morning something changed. Historically, when I would designate a mail item for permanent deletion (by hitting shift and delete at the same time), a dialog box would pop up asking me if I was sure that I wanted that item to be permanently deleted. When the dialog box appeared, a sound was made simultaneously. (I believe that if I clicked yes to the question in the dialog box, another sound was made.) Today, for no apparent reason, there are no sounds made. I opened Control Panel and selected "sounds" to see if Outlook was among the programs listed where certain actions within a program are accentuated with sounds, but i see that Outlook is not listed. I restored the Sounds from "modified default" to "Windows Default" and re-started Outlook, but the sound was not restored. Does anyone know how to restore my sounds? Tag: which is less possible?

    - Restoring Access to Folders Where Access is Denied I'm suddenly finding that many folders and programs have "access is denied" if I try to open them. I'm a sole user of a home computer with Vista Home Premium SP-1. I have only one user account as administrator. Is there a way to make a global change so I have access to all files and folders? I was working with a hardware manufacturer making many changes to try to get one of their programs to run. I think somehow those changes left me without access to many folders and programs.

    - Power Scheme-Sleep Mode Power Scheme-Sleep Mode I use Vista on my Dell PC and have my power settings set to turn off my monitor in 15 minutes and my PC in 20 minutes (sleep mode). When my PC enters the Sleep mode, it only stays in that mode a short time, usually three or so minutes at the maximum, then it activates and my monitor turns on. Is this normal for this power option? I would expect my PC to stay in the Sleep mode for a longer period of time, at least some of the time. Jerry Tag: which is less possible? Tag: 396992

    - Adding markers to .WMA files using Windows Media File Editor for My brand-new notebook PC is running Vista with Windows Media Player 11. At work we have Media Player 9 and I need to add markers to audio files that will be running on Media Player 9. I know that there is a hotfix for running Series 9 Windows Media utilities on Vista, but will this allow me to do what I need to do? Or will there be a conflict because the Encoder utilities are Series 9 and the player is Version 11? Can anyone tell me EXACTLY (i.e. problem resolution for dummies) what I need to do to make this work? Thanks. Tag: which is less possible? Tag: 396991

    - HP recovery manager I've been given a HP laptop running Vista. There are no discs to install the operating system. You are advised to create recovery discs using the HP recovry manager before you do anything else. You can only ever create one set of recovery discs, so you have to get it right first time. The re-seller has already installed some applications, which I don't necessarily want to re-install with the operating system. I'm worried that the HP recovery manager will include these in the backup. I don't see how the recovery manager can distinguish between programs like Internet Explorer, which is part of the operating system, and Firefox, which isn't. Also, I've installed Vista SP1 and I doubt I'd ever want to re-install Vista without it. What should I do? Tag: which is less possible? Tag: 396922

    - Reports: Intel to skip Vista upgrade FYI . . . http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-9977911-56.html For any given release of Windows, there are companies that choose to skip it. But when the company is Intel, it's a big deal. Following a report Monday on the Inquirer, the New York Times reported Wednesday that Intel's IT department "found no compelling case" for upgrading. Ouch. And that's despite the fact that it's been nearly seven years since XP debuted. It's not a good thing, if your customers are electing to stick with 7-year-old technology. (In fairness, XP did get a fairly big update with Windows XP Service Pack 2, but even that is four years old at this point.) Microsoft, which once predicted businesses would adopt Vista at twice the rate they moved to XP, has scaled back its ambitions and these days talks a lot about how long the adoption curve is for businesses when it comes to new operating systems.

    - In Vista programs fail to connect to network but IE7 works every t When launching various different programs, Windows Live Mail, Quicken, Some MS installs etc fail to connect to network stating some wording similar to "you must connect to the Internet first or an Internet connection does not exist." If I click retry three or four times the program will usually connect. If IE7 is opened IE7 will work each time without error, and browsing is normal. Opening IE7 then trying to connect on one of these programs doesn't help. The computer also has XP on it and if I am in XP, these same programs work flawlessly. Quicken for example is the 2008 version. I installed Windows Live Mail last night and it is doing the same failure to connect two or three times then it connects. I have reset IE7 as the default browser, the firewall is turned off, I have turned off AVG, TCP V6 has been disabled, I've hard coded the IP and DNS etc, run as admin, made my self admin, turned off the user account control, nothing has solved this problem. Has anyone seen this and come up with a solution. FYI - I work as a network admin for about 1500 computers and this one has me stumped. Especially as it is my own computer running Vista Ultimate.

    - From Windows Vista to Server 2003 Enterprise Hi, I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1. Because I have had so much difficulty with my development and server software (Visual Studio, IIS, Sequel Server, etc), I am considering changing over to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. I have a few questions that I hope someone will know the answers to. 1. Will there be many applications that I can run on Vista that will not run on Server 2003? 2. Does a utility exist that I can run before installing Server 2003 that will let me know if my hardware meets Server 2003 standards? 3. Is there anyway to install Server 2003 without first having to completely formatting my current harddrive (i.e. would it be possible to install Server 2003 over Vista)? 4. This might not be the best group to post this question on, but I could not find a group for Server 2003. If anyone knows of a better group to post this question on, please let me know.

    - Why does Vista Why does Vista sit there for ages after pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del , and entering username and passwords. Its just says "Welcome" with a spinny circle. 2-3 minutes later the desktop arrives! Nothing in the event log, same laptop with XP installed does the applying/loading personal seetings in about 10-15 seconds. Why does Vista when on the logon screen change the "Logon to" part from the domain the local PC name when i type "Administrator" in the box? Does not do it on any other account!, very annoying having to type domain\administrator on the main logon screen. Why does Vista take 4x longer to install anything than XP does on my laptop? XP installed the standalone flash player in less than 10 seconds. Minutes later i'm still waiting for Vista to get on with it. Why when i open our shared area thats on our 2003 server does Vista take more than 5 minutes to load it, when XP does it in less than 1 second? No matter which hardware i try Vista on, same result. Think somebody needs to start selling XP again, it works. Tag: which is less possible? Tag: 396823

    - folder/file icons Hi All, I'm really sorry if I'm in the wrong place but I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. I have a laptop with Vista on it and all my file/folder icons are a preview of what the file or folder contain. Such as if I have a .jpg file, the file icon is a preview of the picture. However... I have just bought a PC with Vista on and it doesn't show the preview it just shows the program icon, such as if I have a .jpg file and the default viewer is Microsoft Office Picture Viewer it shows the icon for that program and not the preview of the picture. I'm hoping this makes sense. I'm sure it's just a tick box somewhere but I can't find it anywhere. It's a pain not seeing the preview. I have tried all options in the view list, such as large/medium/small icons etc. I want my PC to be the same as my laptop! All help is greatly appreciated. Tag: which is less possible? Tag: 396790

    - Vista 64 Ultimate - Blue Screen then - Boots to Black Screen After the recent Vista Updates last week i Noticed my PC was freezing. It eventually Blue screened on me. When I went to reboot it would only reach a black screen with the mouse pointer available and functioning. I have tried to enter via the various Safe Mode options but all lead to the same black screen. I have tried using the repair functions from my orginal disc but it suggests there are no errors and I can subsequently only get to the blank black screen with mousey. I placed all my HDs in a seperate machine running Vista Home Prem 32 and all were accessible except for the Hd that contaned my Vista 64. It appears in Computer as a Local Disk but Access is denied. The only way I can the see data in any capacity is when I attempt to apply security permissions to the disc. It applies permissions to all but a few files showing that the data is still on the disc. Any ideas ? I have previously repaired XP System Hives using the backup files and aftermarket command line software is there any other way I can repair this Vista as I need to clarify what if anything I stand to lose from this volume before I think of reformatting and reinstalling.

Otherwise I receive an error "Unable to open file on client". I found the "workaround" about creating a folder, but this doesn't work. I've tried both the ActiveX install, and manually downloading and installing FTM. (The manual download route doesn't work with UAC on or off.) Also with UAC on, the program won't save any settings. (Also turned off popup blocking), and the ActiveX settings in IE7 are correct. (Looked at during a tech support call). So, what am I missing? Gotta be a way to make it work with UAC on....?
