    - best / good drive imager?best / good drive imager?
      I have Acronis 11 TI, but it started hanging on me yesterday under Vista.
      it always hangs for 40 secs or so running standalone.
      
      I tried Paragon Drive Backup 8.51, it imaged okay but wanted 2 hrs plus to
      restore 5gb *Acribuis tajes 8 min) - I guess It's using PIO1... (did not
      send them a note).
      
      I tried rtt r-drive image and it imaged fine but I couldn't boot the damn
      Linux CD even with bios sata set to IDE/disa/legacy. (sent them a note)
      
      Tried casper but it images 1:1 and I don't have the HD capacity at the
      moment (sata 160 and IDE 80) and prefer the compressed images that I can
      put to DVD occasionally if I so choose (and I do)
      
      Latest PQDI on torrent is 7 which is flagged as Vista non-compatable anyway
      (I didn't try it).
      
      I used to use ghost but a while back when I upgraded, the boot cd caused a
      bluescreen because it wanted to call home on an intel NIC, so I went to
      Acronis.
      
      I keep looking around but would appreciate ideas!
      
      tia!!!

    - Odd behaviour in Publisher (Office) 2007I have raised this issue in the MS Publisher NG, and it has been
      suggested there that it is a Vista problem.
      
      When this programme (Publisher 2007) opens, and the mouse is put over
      the icons for the various designs/templates, or, over existing
      publications, there is a horrible grinding noise from (I believe) the
      floppy drive. I have placed a floppy in the drive and after an initial
      'seek', the programme behaves as it should. Remove the floppy, and the
      grinding noise, which is somewaht intrusive, returns.
      
      Any ideas or suggestions?

    - Vista unexpected shutdown with no restart, no apparent reasonI'm running Vista Premium on a Gateway MT6451 notebook.
      
      My computer continues to shutdown unexpectedly for no apparent reason. It
      does not restart automatically. I can restart it, usually with no problem,
      but this is keeping me from accomplishing anything. I have to constantly save
      files, etc to avoid losing them. Yesterday this happened about 7 times. The
      frequency seems to be increasing.
      
      This has happened when the only application I had open was Mozilla Firefox.
      I've used the reliability monitor and it lists several disruptive shutdowns.
      
      The only other symptom is my HP printer. When I move my laptop, I unplug the
      printer USB. When I plug it back it, it has to completely reload drivers,
      etc. I have deleted the printer from my system to see if it's the cause, but
      I can't keep it that way!
      
      I've also used the Memory Diagnostic tool, which is supposed to check memory
      and restart the computer. It did not restart the computer when I ran out, so
      I don't know if it actually "did" anything.
      
      I ran Checkdisk and it reported my problems.
      
      I've run McAfee and there are no viruses.
      
      How do I obtain diagnostics to determine the problem and where do I find
      error logs, etc? Please speak in layman's terms and pretend I'm clueless.
      I don't know where to go from here. I've searched the Microsoft Knowledge
      base, but found nothing that seems to apply.

    - Vista Software Permission IssueI have a piece of software I like to use. Each time I open the program,
      Vista claims to not recognize the author of the software, and asks me to
      grant or deny permission to run said software. This is not a major issue,
      but how to do give Vista permission to run this software once and for all?
      
      Thanks,

    - Problems with Windows DreamSceneVersiÃ³n en espaÃ±ol:
      Hoy me ha pasado que al encender el ordenador, el vÃdeo que tenÃa de fondo
      sÃ³lo aparecÃa como pixels aleatorios de colores alrededor de la pantalla. Sin
      embargo, sÃ³lo me pasa con algunos vÃdeos, y no es por problema del vÃdeo, ya
      que si lo abro con otra aplicaciÃ³n se ven correctamente.
      He intentado desinstalando dreamscene y volviÃ©ndolo a instalar, pero pasa lo
      mismo.
      Â¿Se os ocurre algo mÃ¡s que pueda intentar?
      Pd. Tengo windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits.
      Gracias y un saludo
      
      Version in English:
      Today after starting the computer, the video that I had as wallpaper "had
      disappeared" and I can only see random color pixels around the screen.
      However, it only happens with some videos, and it isn't a video problem
      because if I open it with other application I can see it correctly.
      I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling dreamscene, but the same happens.
      Do you know more things I can try?
      Postscript. I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits.
      Thanks and Greetings.

    - Dvd wont play in Dvd playerOk guys, I finally am able to burn a dvd from my camcorder with DVD maker.
      However, the dvd will not play in my dvd player. It's a fairly new Sony
      progressive scan dvd player and says it play all types of dvd's
      (R+,RW+,R-,RW-) My computer is brand new and also plays all of the above
      dvd's. I was using DVD-R for my burning, it is what I use when backing up
      dvd's that I own with no problems. So why is DVD maker having a problem
      encoding my camcorder to dvd format? Or is there another problem that I dont
      know about. I greatly appreciate all of your help.

    - Help with Important Vista FeaturesI have been trying to solve two big problems myself, with the help of web
      searches. I have come up with zero results. I installed Vista three weeks
      ago. I discovered recently that system restore points are not being created.
      I know I set them up. For some reason the system is not creating any. I also
      noticed that I have msinfo32.exe file but no information is there. I have
      tried various tips from the web searches. I can't help feeling they are
      related problems. I decided to run a diagnostic on the system. I do have
      corrupted or missing startup files. I have a feeling thatâ??s related too. I
      don't know how to repair the files. I did insert the Vista disk to see if I
      could repair it with a partial restore from the disk. But the disk only does
      that with a restore option. Since I have no restore points, my only other
      option was to do a full reinstall/restore of the entire operating system.
      That would set me back many days. The upside is that I do like the new OS.
      I'd love to see it work perfect to really get to love it! I have a dual
      system boot. I'm glad that I did that, at least. I can go back to use XP for
      my deadlines. But my mail won't sync if I keep doing that. Files are all
      backed up. I was thinking of backing up the programs but Iâ??ve heard that is
      not wise to do. Can anyone save me before I go under?! Itâ??s so easy and
      effortless to do so much damage in so little time! So, here are my primary
      problem.
      1. I need to recreate my msinfo32.exe
      2. I have to get system restore up and running
      3. If all fails, can I backup programs on my storage disk along with my
      files, with a program to do the work? I don't mean drop and drag.
      
      Any help or thoughts would be so enlighting..... Thanks. I hope to be able
      to return the good will someday. I'm learning a lot. This has me stumped and
      road blocked.
      
      Keep on computin',

    - Power icon only for laptops/UPSWhy on earth has Microsoft taken it upon itself to remove the power
      icon in Vista except for laptops and desktops with UPS systems?
      
      I have always used the icon to quickly switch between different power
      plans, so that "always-on" desktops can be put in low-power mode when
      no user interaction is required.
      
      I understand that switching off, or hibernating, would be the ideal
      solution, but if the machine does work over night, that's not an
      option. The power icon makes it easy to save power under this
      scenario. Isn't Microsoft supposed to be promoting energy efficiency?
      Not much sign of it in Vista.
      
      Maybe they'll say "Oh, we thought people just used the power icon for
      looking at the battery on laptops". It's exactly this kind of second-
      guessing which is driving me insane in Microsoft software of late. The
      new slogan appears to be "where do we want you to go today?" Nanny
      knows best! The more I use Vista, the more useful features I find that
      have been removed or disabled, presumably "for my own good".

    - audio deviceHi,
      My vista home basic installation, installed on an intel motherboard and
      realtek audio driver, works fine when connected through the back panel of my
      case - but just will not see or connect to the audio sockets on the front
      panel.
      This is all the more strange cos when I change OS (and not anything else)
      Linux works fine with both front and back connections for recording and
      playing (input and output)
      In vista, when i look from Control Panel at my audio devices, the native
      windows Sound info window telld me only the back panel connection exists for
      output, but that a front panel input socket exists but is not connected
      (although my headset is plugged in).
      The Realtek audio info window (from Control Panel) tells me there are front
      and back panel connections but the front panel cinnections are greyed out.
      
      Can anyone help me get this darned thing to work properly.??

    - Empty holder can not be deletedI encouter from time to time situation where I can not delete file
      holder. The following is the one just happened.
      
      I downloaded a zip file on the desktop, created a holder in D: drive,
      moved the zip file to it, and unzipped the zip file. In the unzipping
      process a new sub-holder was automatically created and extracted files
      were saved in that sub-holder.
      
      Then, I could delete the zip file, all extracted files, but could not
      delete the automatically created sub-holder.
      
      Could anyone help me understand why and how to delete it?

    - Icons Size and Monitor ResolutionVery strange problem; I have a Dell XPS 1730; running vista ult; max
      resolution is 1900 x 1200. I have hooked this laptop up to a 50" plasma
      monitor resolution 1368 x 720 (or so). I can get the monitor to work by
      reducing the res; but strange thing starts happening on the destop the icons
      start getting bigger and bigger until 2 or 3 icon fill up the whole screen
      (it kind of seems like it is cyling through big, bigger biggest). When I
      reset the icons to small size they cycle up again without me touching the
      computer.
      
      Any ideas????

    - Will this hurt my laptop?Vista Home Premium
      
      As a previous note stated I am having trouble waking my laptop while
      sleeping.
      
      This is a separate question. If I set the laptop to never sleep, hibernate
      or anything else and just use the screen saver will this hurt the laptop? I
      realize it will use extra power but will its being fully on all the time
      generate significant wear & tear on the computer?

    - Variations of Aero?There are many themes for Windows XP Luna interface. Windows Vista,
      however, has only one version of Aero ( we can change the color and
      its intensity though). Is it possible to make other themes for Aero,
      like different system button styles or different border, different
      material, etc. Or, is it impossible to customize it by its
      architecture? I'm not going to make a custom theme, but am just
      curious about it.
      
      PS : Personally, I like Aero better than Mac OSX's look and feel,
      except for fonts and menus. I like OSX's larger fonts and translucent
      menu better.

    - Can't see Internet on wireless networkI want a second computer (which uses XP) to be able to connect to my
      internet connection.
      
      It CAN connect to the wireless network, but cannot see the internet.
      
      I have a Netgear wireless Router, and a security enabled wireless network.
      
      The other PC can connect to the wireless network with good strength, but
      cannot see the internet.
      
      In Vista's Network Sharing Centrethere is a properties box which deals with
      Internet Connection Sharing. But when I try to tick the 'Allow other users
      to connect through this computer's internet connection' box and click OK, I
      get a messagebox come upo telling me that 'An error occured while internet
      connection was being enabled'. Should I be trying to enable this?
      
      Am I doing this in the right place? if so what else do I need to do to
      enable the internet on the other machine? Any ideas...?
      
      Thanks

    - DOS Prompt HereWith Vista, in Windows Explorer, when I right click on a folder and select
      'DOS Prompt Here' the DOS prompt always starts in C:\Windows\system32 not
      the highlighted folder. That's using the folder list on the left side. If
      I try it with a folder on the right side, it opens the DOS prompt in the
      parent directory of the folder I have highlighted.
      
      What gives?

    - Help with Dream Scene pleaseHello,
      I have Vista Ultimate on a HP notebook. I would like to install dream
      scene. It's not in the ultimate extras updates. When I go to view update
      history It shows that it tried to download last November but the download
      was cancelled. I can't find any info on reinstalling it. Can you please
      tell me how I can install it and is it worth installing?
      
      Thanks in advance,
      Linda
