- Windows Vista >> How to repair USB ports on VistaHello,
Is there some sort of diagnostic tool that I can download to try to
understand what is going on with my USB ports?
I now only have one USB port (out of nine) working. Ports just fail and then
re-appear at random. Some devices work on a failed port, others don't.
I have tried going into device manager to uninstall hub drivers etc, but
there seems absolutely no logic in the way device mananger is laid out - eg
"generic hub" appears ten times and it is impossible to understand what is
attached to what.
I have installed all the USB "fixes" from the Microsoft website already.

- Windows Vista >> Snipping ToolI have a new PC running Vista Home Premium. I tried the snipping tool soon
after I received the computer three weeks ago. It appeared to work fine at
that time. I just tried to use it again but could not find the shortcut. It
had been in the start menu under accessories but it was no longer there.
Using the Search facilities I found the program file "Snipping Tool.exe" on
my hard drive. I created a new shortcut but the program will not start,
nothing happens. I also tried double clicking on the "Snipping Tool.exe"
file. Again nothing happens. Any ideas anyone?

- Windows Vista >> Turning off internet connection in Vista. How?Hello,
I tried to google, but was unable to find any instructions that tell
someone how to disable the MS-Vista internet connection. I would like my
Vista machine to be able to access the other computers in the LAN only.
How can one do this? I am about to spend some quality time with my
router, to see if I can accomplish this via router settings. If anyone
has any suggestions on this, I would greatly appreciate them.
Perplexed,
John

- Windows Vista >> Installed programs not displaying in "All Programs" listingI'm using Vista Home Premium and installed VueScan for my scanner. The
install created a shortcut on my desktop and allowed me to pin it to the
Start Up menu. But it will not display in the "All Programs" listing. Right
clicking on the Task Bar and checking Properties doesn't appear to provide me
with any solution. I've tried the Classic menu display and no luck as well.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

- Windows Vista >> Speech recognition - digital recorder compatibilityIs there a hardware compatibility list showing which digital voice recorders
are compatible with Vista? I previously used DNS, and an Olympus digital
recorder. I would dictate my memos into the Olympus and transfer the sound
file to my computer, and then I could convert the sound file to text in
Microsoft Word. Can I do it the same way with Vista (Ultimate)?

- Windows Vista >> Control Panel PrinterHi,
In the control panel > printer section of Vista Business, I see all my
printers. This seems to be viewed via Windows Explorer.
My question is, is there an .exe that will just allow me to view the
printers on its own?
Regards,
Clement

- Windows Vista >> minimizing windowsIf i minimize a window [or several, if have a few opened] instead of showing

This has happened over the last few days.
Anyone know whats happening here?
Thanks in advance

- Windows Vista >> Account SettingsWhen I create a new user account on Vista, is there some way to just copy
over all the settings from an existing account? The desktop, graphics
configurations and all that crap? I spent hours flushing all the Vista
stuff out of the original account to make it look like XP and speed up the
machine, customizing various things, icons, etc.
It would be nice to only have to do this once instead of figuring it out
again for every single account. And it would be nice when making some
change to one account to not have to redo it for every existing account. I
suspect this is built in somewhere, but I haven't been able to stumble into
it.
The "roaming profile" sounds like it may be what I want, but it's grayed out
in the "Change Profile Type" panel so I can't select it.
Thanks.

- Windows Vista >> Recovering filesWell, when I just turned on the computer the message "Configuring updates"
and "Please wait" appeared. Afterwards, when it was completed, all the
programs previously open (I kept my session in memory) were closed! When I
opened IE, all the tabs were there, but other files I were working on were
gone. Anyway to get them back?

- Windows Vista >> disable file system virtualization for an applicationI've installed a couple legacy compilers on my new Vista PC and they
are giving me fits with what I believe is a file system virtualization
problem. In particular the compilers are trying to rename a file in
their \program files\ subdirectory, which fails, and prevents the
compiler's ide from functioning properly.
Is there a way to disable virtualization for an application?
If I uninstall the applications and reinstall them somewhere other
than \program files\, will this solve the problem? [I'd rather not
have to do this, but will if necessary]
Microsoft certainly created the unholy mess from hell with this
virtualization attempt.

- Windows Vista >> HelpI need help with vista x64.
I installed it today and my MN-510 does not have drivers for it.
I have Vista Ultima x86 x64 on my HP laptop and the MN-510 works on it but
when I installed Vista Ultima x64 on my main system it is not supported.
I was thinking that if I installed Vista Ultima x64 it would also install
x86 at the same time like on my laptop.
How do I get it to do that.
If need be I will reinstall it if someone tells me how I am to do it so x86
and x64 are installed.
I purchased Vista x64 thinking it would install like the copy that came on
my laptop.
The laptop is HP8510 with an AMD 64 x2
My main system is a Intel Quad core x64
What gives.

- Windows Vista >> Vista not loading on ubuntu/windows dual-boot!from my yahoo answers question:
Help! I've been dual booting windows vista and ubuntu linux, and it runs
smoothly most of the time, but sometimes windows just decides not to boot. It
gives me a loading bar with the fancy vista logo, and after that, instead of
going to the login screen, it goes to a black screen. This has happened twice
before, but the tools in the system recovery thing promptly fix it. But this
time is different. I boot in to windows system recovery, it loads, i briefly
see a command line window, and then just a blue screen. The system recovery
wizard is coming up! I even tried booting in to the system recovery cd i got
from hp.
specs: compaq presario v6000, vista home premium, ubuntu feisty fawn.
help please!

- Windows Vista >> Vista Remote Desktop Connection no longer worksI purchased a Dell laptop in mid February with Vista installed on it and was
able to remote desktop to my work PC (which is running XP) no problems! It
requires a VPN connection to be established first.
About 2 weeks ago, it all of a sudden stopped working. The VPN connection
continues to establish just fine, but now I get the following 'remote desktop
disconnected' error message: "This computer canâ??t connect to the remote
computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner
of the remote computer or your network administrator".
I am able to connect to my work PC from my *other* PC at home no problem
(it's a desktop running XP) so I know it's not related to my work PC. Any
ideas? I just don't understand why it was working fine for several weeks and
then not. I tried disabling my firewall as a test, but the issue persists.
Help!
