Board index » Windows Vista » 3 very mportant questions

Windows Vista9
Hi everyone, I've got 3 questons and I will appreciate your help;

1. when I bought my laptop I made partitons in my hard drive but now I want

to re-emerge them back together. How do I do that?

2. any now and than my internet explorer gets stuck and vista pops a massage

saying that the internet has stoped working and vista closes the internet.

Why does it happen and what can I do to stop it from freazing?

3. I erased my garbage bin on my desktop and I can't find it now. Where did

it go??

Thanks,

D


-

1. GParted or any disk management utility can do this.

2. This sounds like IE is crashes and has to be restarted. Without knowing

why it crashed cant really help.

3. If you emptied the Recycle Bin the files are gone from your system.

Only Recovery Software can get them back now and that is only if you have

not made any changes to your system since you have emptied your recycle bin.

1) The best software I have found for vista for handling partitions is

called PARAGON PARITION MANAGER... That can do the trick



2) Try running the no-add ons version (I think its in accessories folder in

the start menu?)

if that works well then it means that an add on is creating your problem..

you can then go ahead and start disabling add-ons by going from Ie to tools>

internet options>programs>manage addons (button)



3) Right click on an empty space of your desktop,>PERSONALISE>then on the

left sidebar

you will see a link

that says something like desktop icons.. (cant remember now) from there you

can re-enable the recycle bin icon. You cannot imagine how many people have

this problem, its a design flaw since they put a delete in the right click

for the icon and people do that thinking it will empty the recycle bin.

2 start IE7 with no add-ons; see if that makes a diff.

If it does, add them back one at a time until you find the prob one.

You can go intoTools>Internet Options>advanced>and reset things>but I

don't think that is your prob at the present.



3.Right-click on your empty desktop>Personalise>change Desktop Icons>sort

it from there with the Garage Bin settings!.

The poster erased the BIN; she is NOT talking about the contents.

Be VERY careful what information you give out!!!



I think you had better hand back the MVP!

In the start menu type "Computer Management", and open the Management

Console. Then click on Storage->Disc Management (Local)... Then, you can

just right click on any partition, to see your available options, and do the

operation.



Does this happen always on the same site, or always at random? You should

try disabling your active Add-ons and/or ActiveX controls. If the problem

persists, you can always try another browser (e.g. Opera, Firefox,...)

You can get it back via Right click->Personalize->Change Desktop Icons

(Under Tasks, to the left), and just check the box next to Recycle Bin



Your welcome

Are you going to be another one that does NOT politely bring that to the

attention of the person whom replied !!!!!!!



Would have been very simple to have said,,,

Alex, I think you misread number 3 in the OP post. They said they removed

the Recycle Bin icon and not the contents.



We are all here to HELP each other, yes even the ones who make mistakes.

I have not seen many good MVPs (I dont mean you.. I mean the other guys) in

this newsgroup, I suspect that the good ones know how

crap vista is and are avoiding everything that has to do with it.. lol

Sheesh...give the guy a break...

an MVP is a human being after all.



The one thing I do notice though.

Is that so many folks giving advice have totally missed the fact the Vista

is the first MS operating system

to have built-in non-destrcutive repartitioning.

Not sure why 3rd party utilities seem to be recommended.





-

Have you tried using the built in vista non destructive partitioning??? LOL



its the stupidest thing I have ever seen.. half the times it doesnt work!

(well vista doesnt work so this is not a surprize)



Just google around and you will see what people really think about this

trash MS gives with vista. "Vista is unable to resize this partition" sounds

familiar? LOL



When I say something I say it from experience.. the best is Paragon

Partition Manager.

about 3)... yet, when you click delete in the right click menu, it alerts

the user "are you sure you wanna remove the recycle bin from the desktop"

and even tells you how to restore it. That is a User problem, moron.



-

Hey Mick. Shut up for a minute. So I misread the OP 3rd question. Wow I

think I got the first 2 right and misread the 3rd. Lay off. You aint

perfect either. Idiot. Who are you to criticize everyone else. I know for

fact you aint perfect. How? Your HUMAN.

No its not a user problem.



Why? Because too many users are having the problem! I have seen this posted

here at least 100 times.. You can imagine how many people are having the

problem



And when a problem is so frequent, it is due to the design of the interface



its like a car company saying.. we put the stearing wheel under the seat..

but we DID give the all the instructions of how to use it in the cars

manual! Dont sue us if people get killed! LOL



Got it Mr. Moron? You sound like Frank more and more.. perhaps you ARE that

pathetic loser!



They did not have it like that in all prior versions of

windows..



and for a good reason! LOL Because the older designers knew what they were

doing!



Seeing all these stupid mistakes with the Vista GUI, I am sure that the

people who made the decisions were fresh out of collage. No experience with

real life designing...

Stupid top posting moron.

If you can't tell the difference between "delete" and "empty recycle bin",

then you truly are an idiot.

Vista is too complicated for you to use.

Try an abacus.

It can't be done with Vista's native tools, but most reputable 3rd

party partition management utilities can do this. BootItNG should meet

your needs; there's a free, fully functional 30-day evaluation version

available for downloading from www.bootitng.com. You should be sure to

back up any important data before starting, as things can sometimes go

wrong.







I assume that you're speaking of Internet Explorer, and not the entire

internet? Impossible to say what's causing the problem without much

more information. What is the specific error? Does this happen only on

specific web sites? What kind of internet connection do you have,

dial-up, cable, dsl, wireless, etc.? What do your error logs report?







Do you mean that you're no longer displaying the "Recycle Bin?" If so,

right-click any blank spot on the Desktop, select Personalize>Change

Desktop Icons.

Sorry, but Vista's native Disk Management doesn't have the capability

If it's so, then sorry for the wrong information... I currently have only 1

partition on each disc, and must have recalled it incorrectly... Thanks for

sorting that out!

In some cases you can delete a partition then extend an adjacent partition

into the unallocated space. Some 3rd party applications are better than the

built in facilities in Vista at this. I don't know of any applications that

will merge partitions keeping the files from both intact.
