Answer» <html><body><p>The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A205 running with Vista. It is roughly 14 months old. <br/><br/>When my computer starts, the Toshiba menu shows, it takes me to a black screen with a white flashing line, and then it goes to the "Start Windows normally or Start Error Control." <br/><br/>No matter which one I pick, it takes me to the startup menu with the scrolling green line.

Sounds like you have the OEM Recovery Disk, and want to restore the computer to its original condition, right? This procedure <strong>WILL WIPE OUT ALL OF YOUR DATA AND PROGRAMS.</strong><br/><br/>You'll need to set the computer to boot from the DVD. Immediately after you re-boot, look for a message about boot order and immediately press the indicated key (might be F10 on your machine). Set the DVD as the first boot device. Let it boot from the DVD and follow the instructions. You may want to visit Toshiba's website and read about Recovery before you start.<br/><br/>Let us know how you make out.</body></html>

103.	Solve : After SP1 Install,Vista No longer Recognizes HP LaserJet III thru USB Connection?
Answer» <html><body><p>20 years ago, I bought a LaserJet III printer, which has always been my primary and most reliable printer. A year ago, I bought a new PC, which has no parallel port, so I got one of those USB to parallel converters. It worked just fine until a few weeks ago when I installed SP1 for Vista. Now, the connection is seen and responded to, but I get a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/message-25597" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MESSAGE">MESSAGE</a> that one of the USB devices is not functioning correctly, and it is unrecognized. Long story short, I've tried everything (the printer still works when connected directly to a parallel port on older computers), including reinstalling all USB drivers, trying to run scf /scannow, etc. I even contacted the experts at Windows, who say the only remedy is to invoke the dreaded Restore disks process. Before and if I do that - any suggestions from the wise <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/readers-25587" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about READERS">READERS</a> of this forum? By the way - insofar as I can tell, I have zero other issues associated with SP1 (or any other update). My other USB devices continue to work as usual. <br/><br/>Now I know that I should go buy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/another-876628" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANOTHER">ANOTHER</a> USB to parallel adapter, just to confirm the current adapter is okay - but I haven't done so yet. It's <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/toughaeur-1424020" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TOUGH">TOUGH</a> to believe that a device with no moving parts, plugged in once and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/never-570518" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEVER">NEVER</a> moved until this issue arose, just decided to give it up when SP1 came along. But I'll do that also before I use the restore disks.See if this does anything for you.<br/><br/>Good luck!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.webtlk.com/2008/05/05/usb-stops-working-after-installing-windows-vista-sp1/">http://www.webtlk.com/2008/05/05/usb-stops-working-after-installing-windows-vista-sp1/</a>drmsucks: Thanks for the tip - but no such luck. The device manager reported that the best driver was already installed. I uninstalled, and reinstalled, but Windows still does not recognize my printer.<br/><br/>Thanks again for your trouble.This?<br/><br/> <a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=parallel+card">http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=parallel+card</a>I have a Lexmark X75 printer that is not Vista compatible so no matter what I try in Vista it's not going to work. But I'm in the process of setting up my computer for dual boot. I'll have XP and Vista on one computer. From XP I'll be able to use my Lexmark printer that I have a whole lot of ink for. Not cartridges but ink to put in the cartridges. You can save a lot of money that way. <br/><br/>If you partition your hard drive and there's enough free space you could run 2 operating systems and from one of them sucessfully use your HP printer. Not strictly on topic but - my new HP work station came with Vista - and I started trying to live with it, which included moving my email client (Agent) and it's 4.5 Gb database on to it. Thought I'd survive Vista until thought - ''better apply SP1" - bad! Agent would no longer save or read database properly - thus making it useless. I downgraded to (back to) XP pro - my previous norm.<br/><br/>I mention this only because I seem to hear more and more tales of Vista probs and more so since SP1 .... including printer woes such as yours. I agree tho - dual boot may be your only recourse.The problem with dual boot, of course, is that you can't print from the Vista side.I very much appreciate the information and interest shown in the above postings. One significant problem with the dual boot solution is pointed out by drmsucks. Actually, I have a workaround which has dealt rather effectively with the printing problem - I connected the printer to the parallel port of an XP machine, which like my Vista machine, is connected to a LAN and is therefore accessible from any LAN connected computer. But this just begs the question - what caused Vista to cease recognition of the printer thru the USB to parallel adapter? Also, if, as one thread above points to, Microsoft is aware of this problem, why won't they make some sort of announcement relative to the issue, and develop corrective measures? Quote from: veritasffg on July 25, 2008, 07:34:12 PM</p><blockquote> Also, if, as one thread above points to, Microsoft is aware of this problem, why won't they make some sort of announcement relative to the issue, and develop corrective measures?<br/></blockquote> <br/>What? Full disclosure and honesty from MS?<br/><br/>What if you try system restore and return your computer to its state before the SP1 update. You could then selectively install the updates one at a time and test your printer after each one and in that way discover which particular update created the problem. There might be more than one update that creates the problem. You could discover which update or updates create a problem and install all other updates but those. SP1 is composed of individual updates that you can individually choose to install or not install if I'm not mistaken. You could go to Control panel, Programs and features, click view installed up-dates and start uninstalling the updates one by one until you get the printer to start working again.</body></html>

104.	Solve : After Vista System Restore, msvcr80.dll is missing! (Solved)?
Answer» <html><body><p>I had to do a system restore, probably because I was messing around with the registry. <br/><br/>Apparently the system restore deleted some DLLs, including msvcr80.dll.<br/>I know it's missing because a program I made uses a library made in C, which needs this DLL, so my program won't start now. <br/><br/><br/><br/>I do actually have multiple versions of this DLL:<br/><br/><br/><br/>But if I put any of them in the folder with my program, instead of getting a missing dll <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/error-25548" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ERROR">ERROR</a>, I get an error that it is the wrong version:<br/><br/><br/><br/>So I am not sure what to do. I don't think it is just a missing file anymore, because the program can run on another computer of mine, but that doesn't have any unique dlls. So I think maybe the OS just can't find the DLL or something. Other programs seem to work fine, but I haven't tried them all since the system restore.<br/><br/>I don't want to reset my computer to original factory settings because of one missing file! <br/><br/>I have Vista HP, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/32bitbrbr-1855663" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 32BIT">32BIT</a>, and a 56K connection.

Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 23, 2008, 02:28:39 PM<blockquote>Hmmm....Does it only happen when you run Breakout?<br/>Can you reinstall it?<br/></blockquote> <br/>Word, WMP, Fx3, FileZilla and such are all working fine; I don't know if they use the DLL.<br/><br/>I can't reinstall Breakout because I made it; I never installed it. If VISTA has the <strong>sfc</strong> utility, try running <em>sfc /scannow</em>. Have your VISTA CD available. <br/><br/>Just my 2¢ Why is everyone saying 'my 2¢' Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 23, 2008, 03:09:52 PM<blockquote>Why is everyone saying 'my 2¢' <br/></blockquote> <br/>Who is everybody? Sidewinder is one poster and considering the recession the US is in, yesterday's nickel is worth 2 cents today.....you just have to pay a dime for it <br/><br/>My only Vista CD is the anytime upgrade; that is all HP gave me. (?)<br/><br/>Anyway, I ran that program:<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>C:\Users\Kristopher>sfc /scannow<br/><br/>Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.<br/><br/>Beginning verification phase of system scan.<br/>Verification 98% complete.Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but wa<br/>s unable to fix some of them.<br/>Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example<br/>C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log<br/>I don't know what this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/means-236635" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MEANS">MEANS</a>, but at least maybe this explains the bug a bit better. <br/><a href="http://rafb.net/p/l4yrXm58.html">http://rafb.net/p/l4yrXm58.html</a> (last ~1,000 lines from C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log)Couldn't find anything in the listing that related directly to MSVCR80.DLL. I would think going forward, DLL's are backward compatible. They may have new functionality but all the old function remains.<br/><br/>I would put the most current version of MSVCR80 into the system32 directory and rebuild your BREAKOUT project. Is that possible? With all the versions of the DLL, it's <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hard-1015537" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HARD">HARD</a> to tell which one was installed when your project was originally built.<br/><br/> It's still not working, although FWIW, the library that is using the DLL is a .a file; I didn't compile that .a file myself.<br/>I still think it is something other can a missing file; mismanagement of them maybe... Quote from: Sidewinder on July 23, 2008, 03:26:43 PM<blockquote>considering the recession the US is in, yesterday's nickel is worth 2 cents today.....you just have to pay a dime for it <br/></blockquote> <br/>Well done! lol!Why not just reinstall the .NET framework, I believe that includes a version of MSVCR80.dll.<br/>I could try that; exactly which version should I install?well, I'd just go for the latest one. I think it's up to 3.0 or something. not sure.</body></html>

105.	Solve : Problem with Folder Redirection in Windows Vista?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hi guys (and gals),<br/><br/>I've got a problem <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/trying-3234509" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TRYING">TRYING</a> to sort out folder redirection with Vista.<br/><br/>We've got a S2k3 DC, with several Windows XP, and a handful of Windows Vista clients.<br/><br/>The problem is, when you log on with your roaming profile to a Vista box, it creates a %username%<strong>.<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/v2-251093" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about V2">V2</a></strong> folder where the user profiles are kept.<br/><br/>Now I understand why this happens ('cus Vista & XP roaming profiles aren't natively interoperable), but I'm having great difficulties when I try to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/redirect-11579" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REDIRECT">REDIRECT</a> the folders to the related XP folders so that our users have all thier stuff available instantly regardless of what O/S they're on.<br/><br/>I've followed the offical MS White Paper, and got no where. I've set up the GPO a couple of times and I've had no luck.<br/><br/>I was just wondering if anyone could help me out.<br/><br/>One thing I think might be causing an issue is that we had to install GPMC.MSC onto the Vista box, as it wasn't there...which is appearently the doings of SP1? Maybe there is something else we're missing on this box to get it rocking?<br/><br/>I'd prefer to setup a GPO or something like that, as it will make life easier when we all end up logging onto Vista boxes.<br/><br/>Anyone got any ideas?<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/><br/>SidWe hit this issue when we rolled out a few Vista Business editon systems, and we downgraded them back to XP Pro SP2 until we are ready to move to Vista or the next best OS if years from now we are forced to upgrade.<br/><br/>We also tried the group policy to resolve but it just caused more headaches as for what should work wasnt, so we went back to our original <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/configuration-11827" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONFIGURATION">CONFIGURATION</a>. This also helped resolve the problems we were having with users trying to work in the Vista environment and getting lost trying to perform simple tasks because the layout is different than XP.<br/><br/>I am sure there is an answer out there to make this work... and I will be watching this to see what the final solution is in case we have to move to Vista... hopefully someone here will have the answer or point both of us in the right direction to make this work.<br/><br/><br/><br/>I've managed to get it working partially.<br/><br/>I setup a seperate share folder, and redirected the My Docs (and music/pics/vids), Desktop and Start Menu to that folder, which works a treat.<br/><br/>I still come up against a brick wall when trying to share the other folders via GP.<br/><br/>I think the main problem was the fact that the profiles jsut don't want to interoperate when you use the %username% variable.<br/><br/>I think it might be down to Vista thinking that the %username% variable means the ".V2" version when it's available, as I happily have used the % variable for the seperated share folder and both o/s's work absolutely fine.<br/><br/>EDIT:<br/>For some reason, the DC won't let me redirect Application Data...it just comes up with "Access Denied".<br/>Me being an idoit...it tells you why when you change them in Vista...<br/>/EDIT<br/><br/>I have managed to get my own profile sharing across all compatable data (I think?) by <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/manuallybrbr-2814100" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MANUALLY">MANUALLY</a> redirecting the folders once logged in. I can imagine that could be a ball ache for a large network of non-tech people, but here it might just fly...untill I can find away of doing it autonomously...as we're a small team with a high knowledge...me being the lowest of the pack really.<br/><br/>Anyway, I'm surprised the white paper solution doesn't work...and I'd love to hear from people that have actually got things sharing. Or at very least, a confirmation on why I can't redirect to folders that have already been created by XP.<br/><br/>Hopefully someone somewhere that has got redirection to work might read this...or let me know why it wont work in the GPO, when it works fine manually...<br/><br/>SidI got it working in line with how the white paper says it should!<br/><br/>It was down to NTFS permissions.<br/><br/>However, it played havoc with the Dev teams compiling...so it got scrapped.<br/><br/>I know how to do it now though!!! Woot.<br/><br/>I wouldn't recomend it though. Vista seems to "inject" itself into the XP profile, and if you should want to stop redirection...it's a pain, especially as the folder targets aren't redirected by default. Removing the Dev test went smooth ish, as I haddn't config'd the GPO to re-direct after removal...but removing me, after changing the GPO was a nightmare, I'm just glad I didn't have anything on my profile.<br/><br/>I think the main problem there was the cached profile on the computer was still looking for the targets, which didn't exist. Once I deleted my profile off the computer, not a problem. I did however delete my folders prior to that, so it would recreate them fresh...so not sure if just deleting the cached profile would suffice...<br/><br/>Anyways, if anyone is having problems I'm quite happy to attempt to help you!<br/><br/>Sid</p></body></html>

I think my computer clean of virus but I might have to do another virus scan to be sureAnd by the way , if you already scanned your computer for possible viruses... check if you have multiple security programs on your computer, that might be conflicting with each other. thanks i'll give it a tryyour <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/welcome-1451477" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WELCOME">WELCOME</a>!! and good luck, by the way you can also try this one <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265</a> You don't say what your location is - but is the weather warm where you are.

Have not installed any new programs other than my favorite online game (World of Warcraft, yeah, I know, I'm a gamer geek) and anti-virus/spyware (Spyware Doctor) within those two months.<br/>When it first occurred, the computer had been on, but idle (just desktop visible, no programs running except PC Tools Spyware Doctor, which is always on) I just noticed a blue screen with this message on it when I returned to the computer after about 1 -2 hours of idle. I attempted to restart by cutting power (ctrl-alt-del was not responding).

112.	Solve : Computer won't download files from internet?
Answer» <html><body><p>Well, I've been working on this all day. Trying everything I can think of to make it work, but I can't, so I'm hoping someone else has solved the issue.<br/><br/>Basically what's happening is when you click on a link to download a file, it will act like it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/downloaded-7269896" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOWNLOADED">DOWNLOADED</a> the file, but you can't find it. It's only failing when you try to download the file (both save and run options). I tried with a jpg (as another <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/test-13460" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TEST">TEST</a>) and when I right clicked the link to it and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/told-1421695" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TOLD">TOLD</a> it to "Save Target As" the download disappeared, but when I opened the file in IE7 and told it to save image, it worked fine. Beyond that the internet works fine.<br/><br/>Occasionally you would catch the file appearing on the desktop for a second before <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/disappearing-7387587" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DISAPPEARING">DISAPPEARING</a>.

The issue crops up in both IE7 and Firefox 3 (which I just installed tonight). The computer is an Acer Aspire 9410 with a 1.73 GHz Pentium Dual Core with 2GB of RAM. <br/><br/>I've taken a look at running processes, installed software, running services and everything looks good. I've tried turning off the firewalls, security, and UAC, but that didn't solve the problem. I've reset IE's security settings. Then installed Firefox and got the same issue.<br/><br/>Any ideas would be welcomed. I know there was another thread that I'd run across, that's why I'm here. The issue sounds very similar. <br/><br/>I honestly thought if I installed Firefox it would DL and I could peg it as an IE issue, but that was disappointing.</p></body></html>

I need to re format my pc, and having to do that have found another problem, with Vista there is no restore disk you do it from the hard drive, alas none of my buttons suggest that it is accessible to me. I have someone look up the makers website and it is under construction! My luck continues. So I asked this person to look up directions on the net and he has found numerous complaints from users and experts alike that the partition file seems to be hidden on this make of pc!<br/>I am not a quitter so I will endeavour untill I get back on the internet again with all m y buddies and back to work also.

Once gain thank you all for trying and a very good lesson learnt here.Ok - hang on a minute! Before you re-install Vista:<br/><br/>I am not familiar with the Windows family safety service which you installed. However, when you installed it, didn't you have to select certain parameters for the program to restrict access? And didn't you provide a password to prevent changes to your parameter selections? Are you certain that you have accessed the program and disabled protection - you would need to enter your password; disabling the program in Msconfig will not work, it will just lock you down, as it did.<br/><br/>I really think that the key to your problem is to disable the protection that YOU ENABLED, from within the program.<br/><br/>Best of luck!Also - try this:<br/><br/>Start>Run>type <strong>cmd</strong>, enter>type <strong>services.msc</strong>, enter: look for a service named Safety Service or Family Safety Service or similar. If you find it, right-click on the service, select Properties, change the 'startup' to Automatic. Okay, and exit dialogue box. Re-boot computer. <br/><br/>Post back. katzyin,The link i provided earlier does not require internet access to perform.Only need the access to read and copy the instructions to execute the disable.You do seem to have access via some computer to be doing this dialogue? I also in my research to try and assist you discovered the many problems with this particular program (many in the removal aspect).If i might suggest for future process-- do a google search to ascertain the user comments on any given program that seems to interest you BEFORE downloading and installing it. Better to benefit from others experiences that have problems.goodluck,truenorth</p></body></html>

119.	Solve : Video watching and battery life?
Answer» <html><body><p>I was planning on watching a movie on my laptop tonight and I am worried about my comp not having enough battery life. I was wondering what was more energy efficient: watching a movie on a dvd, ripping the movie to my hard drive and watching it or ripping it to a usb drive and watching it.

The harddrive will 'run' whether or not he 'plays' the movie from the harddrive or the flash drive. <br/><br/>The question becomes, "will the incremental power consumption from playing the movie from the harddrive be equal to, less than or more than the power required to play the movie from the flash drive?"

Watching from a flash drive means the computer has to supply power to the Flash Drive, right? Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 19, 2008, 11:07:52 AM<blockquote> <br/><br/>The HD is already being used so running a movie from the HD won't increase the power usage. <br/></blockquote> <br/>Sounds like you think that harddrives consume a fixed amount of power regardless of the drive's activity. That is not the case; each read and write by the drive increases its power consumption over its consumption at idle.<br/><br/>To run the movie from the harddrive will require 'extra' reads from the harddrive to 'play' the movie, plus any extra harddrive activity due to Windows increased 'maintenance' because of playing the movie. The question then becomes the one above.<br/><br/>I'm not certain that the answer is that the flash drive requires less power than the incremental power used by the harddrive - that's just my guess. But it is certain that the harddrive will use more power running the video than not running the video - everything else equal.<br/><br/>Relative to the OP's question re maximizing battery life, I would guess that the difference in battery life running the movie from the hdd v. a flash drive would be 1% - 2% +/-, not important unless the battery goes dead before learning whodunit!Hmmm....Interesting Argument......Since it's a video running from the flash drive will still require some cacheing to the HDD no matter what device it's running from...<br/>Following this logic running it from the HDD would consume the least power.<br/><br/>But renting the movie and watching it on a DVD player on a wide screen TV with surround sound would save the most power on the laptop... Quote<blockquote>Following this logic running it from the HDD would consume the least power.</blockquote> Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 19, 2008, 09:50:19 PM<blockquote> Quote<blockquote>Following this logic running it from the HDD would consume the least power.</blockquote> <br/></blockquote> <br/>Perhaps Whether or not you are in idle or playing games, the HD still spins.</body></html>

127.	Solve : Delete ldb in startup folder?
Answer» <html><body><p>I have locked down workstation which multiple users use to access a MS Access database. The database automatically starts up when the machine is rebooted. I've done this by placing the databse in the startup folder. The problem is, when I reboot the PC (or if it ever crashes) the .ldb file is still in the startup folder. It then displays an error because it tries to run the .ldb file. Is there <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anyway-2436609" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYWAY">ANYWAY</a> of deleting this .ldb file before it runs?<br/><br/>I was thinking of possibly a batch file to run at startup to delete this .ldb file. Question is what should go in the batch file and how do I get the batch file to run before windows tries to open the .ldb file?What version of windows are you running? I know XP has a way to run a batch file on start up and on shut down. I am sure vista can do the same thing.<br/><br/>For XP you can setup a group policy. If your not in a domain than go to the machine and type gpedit.msc from a command prompt. Than open Windows settings and you will see where you can add the scripts.<br/><br/>Hi, It's XP, but I've just <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/realised-2977718" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REALISED">REALISED</a> I can put the database in a different folder and put a shortcut to the database in the startup folder. However, I have another little problem:<br/><br/>The PC is part of a domain. When the PC boots up it runs a login script to map to the network drives. Sometimes this runs a bit slower than other times. Because the database has tables on the network, if the login script is running slow the database starts up and errors because it cannot find the backend tables.<br/>Is there any way in a batch file to write in a delay of say 30 seconds then open the database? In this case I can guarantee the login script will have run.In the group policy open admin templates and than system...scripts. Than enable "Run Logon Scripts Synchronously."<br/><br/>This forces the login script to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/finish-989314" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FINISH">FINISH</a> before the desktop is created.<br/><br/>Yes this seems to work. Thanks.<br/><br/>Unfortunately I've just spotted another problem.<br/>I've used a program someone suggested called KaneBT to hide the start button and taskbar. This does hide the taskbar and start button however if I double <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/click-918865" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CLICK">CLICK</a> where the start button should be, I still see the options <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/like-537196" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LIKE">LIKE</a> My Computer etc. I can't allow this to happen.

128.	Solve : Vista & AOL?
Answer» <html><body><p>I have heard that Vista and AOL are not compatible - is that true? We just bought a new computer, and Vista was the only option - couldn't get XP.

If this is true, is Vista compatible with Earthlink?I used Earthlink for several years until a change in the local DSL provider necessitated switching to EMBARQ.

She and her assistant use two computers, and want the same emails on them. For reference, her main email will be referred to as SCemail. Gmail for the other. I simply set up one regularly, and then made a gmail account on the other that forwarded the SCemail messages to the gmail account on her OE. This works perfectly, except for one thing. When she composes a message on the gmail account in OE, it is sent from the gmail account. However, when she sends it off the gmail site, it sends from the email I set as default, SCemail. Any ideas on how to make composed messages come from SCemail, and not her gmail? <br/>Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks!Why not set up one email account and just give the password to your mom and her assistant?Let's say she gets an email on computer one. She opens it. She then goes to computer two.

144.	Solve : Question about Windows Registry and environment variables?
Answer» <html><body><p>BLUF: I need to build up the actual %TEMP% path for all users<br/>methodically using values in the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/registry-1182422" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REGISTRY">REGISTRY</a>, and I need to do this both<br/>by the current user AND as a service will do this running as "Local<br/>System." Thus, I can't rely on it always being ...\\Local<br/>Settings\Temp.<br/><br/><br/>I have a service running as Local System, and I need to find each<br/>user's %TEMP% directory. I've found a location in the registry that<br/>is helpful, but not exactly what I am <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/looking-1079184" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOKING">LOOKING</a> for. So, any help is<br/>greatly appreciated.<br/><br/>I need this information, because I need the service to write something<br/>to a particular user's directory, and as evidenced by MSFT's Virtual<br/>PC Images, this is not always how a machine in set up (the user is<br/>`IETester` but the %TEMP% dir is `C:\DOCUME~1\IETest\Local Settings<br/>\Temp" (notice `IETest` instead of `IETester`).<br/><br/>The locations that I found in the registry are:<br/><br/>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer<br/>\Shell Folders<br/><br/>HKEY_USERS\S-1-...\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer<br/>\Shell Folders<br/><br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer<br/>\DocFolderPaths<br/><br/><br/>Obviously, the CURRENT_USER is useless, because the service (running<br/>as Local System) won't know the current user (and I need all users<br/>anyway). If I use the value in USERS, I'll have to backtrace and find<br/>the value of %USERPROFILE% somewhere. The LOCAL_MACHINE looks like a<br/>reasonable place, but I don't know if it is exactly what I'm looking<br/>for. Another problem with LOCAL_MACHINE (at least, with the registry<br/>key I'm referencing above), is that the "Value" listed is still not<br/>the user name for the current user. (Ex: Value is `IETest` and the<br/>value's data is set to `C:\Documents and Settings\IETest\My<br/>Documents`. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/however-at-491999" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HOWEVER">HOWEVER</a>, the actual USER NAME is `IETester`.<br/><br/>Sidenote: System.IO.GetTempPath() returns the value "C:\Documents and<br/>Settings\IETest\Local Settings\Temp," so that at least jives with what<br/>I'm seeing in the registry (instead of relying on the actual username<br/>to hardcode paths), but I still can't put everything together.<br/><br/><br/>What is the best way to do this? I'm not sure which values in the<br/>registry get changed if the user changes the default setting/location,<br/>so I don't know exactly where to look. And one last question: Is this<br/>location/forumlation the same between <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/xp-747558" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about XP">XP</a> and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/vista-728089" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VISTA">VISTA</a> (ignoring the<br/>Wow6432Node)?<br/><br/>Any help/insite is greatly appreciated!</p></body></html>

If so scan your system if it will let you. It almost sounds like Explorer is having a melt down. If the A/V scan comes out clean then I suggest just turning the machine off via the power button.

lolSorry...been real busy.<br/><br/>First some basics to clarify things which will simplify it.<br/><br/>Any version of Windows HAS to write certain files to the root dir. of C: to function properly.<br/>This is why it makes sense to have it installed there anyways.<br/><br/>Having programs installed on another partition/drive doesn't have many benefits speedwise....other than making things maybe more organised it's not really worth it.<br/><br/>Your SATA drive is probably faster than the IDE.<br/><br/>Keeping all this in mind and following your original parameters for your drive setup here's how i would suggest laying it out:<br/><br/>_______________________________________ _________________<br/><br/>Split the SATA drive in 2 equally....roughly 150G each.<br/><br/>Primary partition: C: = Vista; Programs and pagefile.<br/>2nd partition: D: = Storage and or media work...<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/music-1379" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUSIC">MUSIC</a>; video etc.<br/><br/>Then wipe your IDE drive after grabbing any important data and use it for additional storage.<br/><br/>This will involve re-installing Vista and your apps but you'll have a neat clean setup and should see a small performance gain.<br/>I've tried to merge/move/expand partitions before and even with the best 3rd party apps out there it has never worked clean enough for me...<br/><br/>A clean start would be best.<br/><br/>Obviously the size paramaters mentioned above can be customised to your liking but you get the general idea here.<br/><br/>Let us know.so you'd recommend putting all my media in a partition on the SATA, completely wiping everything else, then reinstalling Vista?<br/>thing is, i've just installed vista again- taken me quite a while to get it how i want it When you say install all your media i'm not quite sure what you mean by that....<br/>As far as getting it set up how you want you could use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to copy your settings.<br/><a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457074(TechNet.10).aspx">Info Here</a><br/><br/>The main problem with what you want to do is your boot info is stored on C: and your installation resides elsewhere...<br/>I've never been successful using any partitioning <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/app-25615" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APP">APP</a> to merge a boot sector to an OS install but if you want to try it OK.<br/>The reason it probably won't work is even if you did merge the 2 successfully the bootloader will be looking in different partitions for your Vista install because this is how it was set up originally...well heres the next problem- how on earth do i find a program that works with 64 bit?<br/>(i dont mind paying) i tried Paragon Partition Manager 9 but in the Recovery CD it doesnt have the resizing function<br/><br/>do you think there is a file i can edit for the path of the boot sector?... im guessing this wouldnt happen because its all linked...<br/>the files and settings transfer seems to want me to have 2 pcs tooParagon does work in Vista 64....<br/>You could try Ranish which is Free but i still don't think the bootloader will operate properly.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/fast.php">Here</a><br/> is another guide to using FAST...you don't need 2 machines.
