My wife is having a problem with her Windows Explorer Closing.
Usually she will be moving folder contents, from one folder to another when
the message occurs, and windows explore closes.
It is frustrating to her, and I can't seem to get a clue as to why it happens,
or how to fix it.
Suggestions welcome!

- Windows Vista >> Office 2003 migration problemsI posted this item before, but have realized that the problem is probably
with my Registry.
I tried migrating my files using the Windows "Easy Transfer" Utility and
then my MS Office 2003 program using the Windows "Easy Transfer" Companion.
Needless to say, Office 2003 did not work and I reversed the program transfer.
Now, when I try to install Office 2003 from the installation disk, the
installation stops at the point where the installation source is listed as my
G: drive. This is an empty SD slot and cannot be changed.
After searching my registry in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\ section, I find numerous
entries that refer to the Path G:\Program Files\Microsoft\Office, etc,
I am reluctant to make changes to the registry at this point since there are
over 100 references. Any thoughts?

- Windows Vista >> WMDC 6.1 and Vista SP1I have just installed Vista on a fresh Hard Drive and upgraded to SP1.
I connected my Mobile 5 PDA to the PC and WMDC installed as it detected my
mobile device however I am unable to get the Mobile device to be seen by WMDC
to create a partnership.
I had an issue originally in one of the SP1 RC packs I installed and was
advised to install the refresh when available as it resolved the problem, I
think it is back!
Anyone had nay similar issues and if so how did you get around it.
Windows Firewall is turned off and Bitdefender v11 is intsalled whch is same
as last time around.
Any help appreciated

- Windows Vista >> Problem Setting Up Network Printer via XPI am a new, just created, VISTA user.
I have it installed on a test machine which is networked to a second
machine which is XP PRO SP2.
The networking is via a D-Link router.
I have two printers, one an EPSON R320, the other AN HP PSC950 AIO.
The EPSON is connected directly to the VISTA machine via USB.
The HP is connected directly to the XP machine via USB.
Each printer prints just fine from the machine to which it is
connected directly (USB).
I have networking set up on both machines in common WORKGROUP
'mshome'.
File sharing works just fine in BOTH directions.
I can print from the XP machine to the EPSON via the VISTA machine via
the network.
BUT I cannot print from the VISTA machine to the HP via the XP machine
via the network despite the fact that the test print seems to got
through the spooler's without a problem (the document disappears from
the queue as if normal.
Seems weird!
Can anyone suggest where I can look for wherein the problem lies?
Thanks

- Windows Vista >> Problem reloading after hibernation/sleepMy computer will go into either sleep, hiberation, or stand-by mode (forgive
me as I do not know how to tell the actual differences between these modes -
if there are any). When it does this and I return, I will move the mouse to
take it out of its resting state. The monitor will register but it will say
that the monitor is not receiving any input from the computer (the message
that shows up with the red, blue, and green bar thing). So from there I turn
off the entire surge protector and the computer will make it all the way to
the screen that says something like "windows is reloading..." and there is
reloading progress meter at the bottom. Once there, it stops after a few
seconds and goes back to a black screen with a little white cursor blinking
and then complete blackness.
From here I am forced to shut it back off. This time however, it gives me
the option of deleting old previous restore information of my last session
and restarting entirely...which works, but obviously I'd like to be able to
restore my data when I leave my computer.
What is wrong and how do I fix it?
If you need to know any more information, please let me know. Also, this is
something new that just started happening within the past few days. I ran AVG
free but all it found was ntoskrnl was changed, but it found this way before
the problem started occurring.

- Windows Vista >> Vista stopped connecting to ISPAfter using SPYBOT search and destroy on a ACER computer with VISTA, a
computer that teenagers had devastated with Lime Wire and other
garbage and was loaded with adwareand 2 viruses, ...
the VISTA system would no longer recognize the Clearwire Internet. Yet
the same computer using LINUX UBUNTU instantly finds the ISP
provider.
Can I restore a VISTA Internet recognition file without a total
reinstall of VISTA?
Two other computers on the same router network work fine with XP and
Windows 2000.
I think Spybot SD deactivated a connection file ????

- Windows Vista >> User folder redirectionIn Vista, like XP you can redirect a folder from your profile name in the

USER folder which is always on C: to D: so that all users profile
information is always. Redirecting all folders one by one and for each user
individually is very time consuming.

- Windows Vista >> Elgan: Was Windows XP Microsoft's last good OS?http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9065938
March 1, 2008 (Computerworld) Everybody's talking today about "Drivergate" -
internal Microsoft e-mails that show senior Microsoft executives personally
struggling to use hardware products sporting the "Windows Vista Capable"
sticker. The e-mails also show that Microsoft lowered its standard for some
hardware compatibility, apparently to help Intel impress Wall Street.
This revelation is simply the latest in a long series that add up to one
inescapable conclusion: Windows Vista sucks. (And making it cheaper won't
help, either.)
Compatibility of drivers is just one issue. Another is a convoluted user
interface that prevents ordinary users from gaining a sense of control over
the OS.
Windows Mobile, Microsoft's operating system for cell phones, suffers from a
similar problem. The Windows Mobile OS isn't horrible per se, it's just that
it's completely wrong for cell phones and other small screen devices.
Windows Mobile clearly compromises usability to mimic the WIMP (Windows,
Icons, Menus and Pointing device) focus of Microsoft's desktop operating
systems. To quote Dr. Phil: How's that workin' for ya? It hasn't helped
eroding desktop Windows market share, and it hasn't helped Windows Mobile,
either.
The biggest problem isn't that the company's newest products are unusable,
but that Microsoft may have actually lost the "ability" to make good
operating systems. It may not be able to let go of its dogmatic insistence
on the flawed vision of the same Windows "experience" from wristwatches to
supercomputers.
And there is evidence that delusion or, at least, wishful thinking, prevails
at Microsoft. The company's founder and chairman, Bill Gates, said last week
that "Microsoft expects more Internet searches to be done through speech
than through typing on a keyboard." Hey, Bill: Do you want to bet $10
billion on that? I doubt even that Microsoft will fix its Vista driver
problem within five years. This is the same guy, by the way, who bragged
that Microsoft would "solve" spam by 2006.
It's imperative for Microsoft to get the next major OS right. The secret
lies in the company's Surface initiative.
Microsoft has never understood the importance of "simplicity," a fundamental
design concept it has always swept aside to make room for "feature rich"
(i.e., bloated and complex).
Right now, the Windows Vista type user interfaces are in their final days.
The future belongs to what I call the 3G user interface, which replaces flat
icons and folders with multitouch, gestures, physics and 3-D.
It's imperative for Microsoft to get the next major OS right. But how?
The secret lies in the company's Surface initiative. Sure, Surface is at
present a little more than a semishipping demo usable for product marketing.
The Surface demo dazzles with its 3G goodness. But what's impressive and
surprising is that somehow someone at Microsoft was allowed to create a user
interface unburdened by "compatibility" with two decades of spaghetti code.
What a concept! And no "Start" button!
Another hopeful sign is that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer appears to agree
that Surface is important - or, at least, urgent. He announced earlier this
month that Microsoft is accelerating the development of a consumer version.
Here's what I believe Microsoft needs to do to save its vitally important
operating systems business:
1.. Never compromise on driver compatibility, not even for Intel.
2.. Insist on the highest standards for compatibility stickers, then use
your marketing millions to drive customers to partners that have earned
those stickers. Drive the laggards, the cheaters and the inadequate vendors
out of business. They're poisoning your swimming pool.
3.. Make an operating system for each computer type - cell phone, UMPC,
consumer desktop, enterprise desktop, enterprise server, supercomputer -
optimized for that type, not as a dogmatic slave to the limitations of the
generic desktop Windows vision.
4.. Emphasize usability and simplicity over "feature rich" complexity. We
don't need more options, features, capabilities, applications, peripherals
and hardware vendors. We need better ones.
5.. Emphasize usability and simplicity over backward compatibility for the
consumer version of Windows. The 1990s are over. Don't sacrifice the future
for customers and partner companies that are living in the past.
6.. Throw everything they've got at getting the consumer version of
Surface right. Surface is the future of the company. And Apple won't wait
around. That company is aggressively patenting elements of the user
interface of the future, and you know they'll build and market it
successfully.
7.. Be afraid of Apple, Google and Asus. Apple is eating your desktop
marketshare because they succeed with simplicity and UI elegance. Google
might do so with its cell phone UI. And Asus, a two-bit Taiwanese
motherboard maker, was able to cobble together a quick-and-dirty UI for
Linux that's way better than Windows Vista for UMPCs.
