First of all an alarm: Can you believe Administrator account on my Vista
machine had no password 8={. I can’t remember being asked for one.

Now to my question: I moved some files from my folders and I wanted to take
write privilege of these but in error denied read and execute. Now, I can
access them with Admin privileges only. I have reset privileges back to what
they were but no luck.

Any thoughts!! I am puzzled. I can’t move them or cut and paste them even
under Admin account.

I recently changed the name of the admin account, but forgot the
password without a reset disk.
The account shows but I cannot login.
I have searched the threads but need some direction on the best way to
go about doing this

It is Vista Home premium x32

Suggestions appreciated

Thank you

Hello,

I have three computers. one on the main floor (my wifes Vista) and two
in the basement office (one win xp and one Linux).

We have a wireless router modem (from our internet service provider)
and have my wifes computer connected to the modem. I ran CAt 6 cable
from the modem to the basement where I have another wireless router. I
configured the router to work by disableing UPNP and DNS (basically like
a ethernet switch) Everything was fine.

Curious to see what windows 7 was like, I installed it on one my pc
(the linux one). That was a big mistake. It tried to creat a network and
see my wifes vista. Now my wifes Vista has lost the internet connection.

The only way the internet works on her vista, is if I unplug my
ethernet cable from the modem and restart her computer. As soon as I
plug my ethernet cable back in, it wants to connect to a network and she
looses the Internet connection.

I don’t want these computers communicating in ANY WAY. I just want
internet in my office, and internet for my wife. I have recently
formatted Windows 7 off my pc and installed Ubuntu back on.

Is there a way to configure the wireless router modem NOT to connect to
a network? I just want it to provide internet for me and my wife, thats
it.

Can I delete the network on the Vista and go back to how it was
originally?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
John

I’ve seen several posts concerning the inability to Remote Access a Vista
(x86) Home Premium machine. I can easily access my Vista desktop from an
MCE2005 XP machine using Live Mesh — at least from behind the NAT on my
home network. Am I to understand that this is definitively not possible
from a remote computer over the internet? If it is possible can someone
please summarize?

running Vista X64, I installed mozilla firefox, and the shortcut Icon
keeps reappearing on desktop. I delete it, but it comes back after
reboot. I figure it’s something in the user profile setting, but can’t
find out what. thanks for your help

Are you sure they aren’t Xvid? If they are you need to d/l the codec.

Don’t pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Far as I can ascertain, he has as much right to be here as you do.
Possibly more since he seldom resorts to profanity and name calling.

Open Contacts in Windows Live Mail.
If you don’t see the menu bar, press Alt briefly, then click File, Import,
"Address book for current Windows user". It should then find your Vista
contacts automatically.

Questions pertaining specifically to Windows Live Mail should be asked
in the WLM newsgroup:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities…e.mail.desktop
or via your news reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof…e.mail.desktop

Hi all.

I got this issue last week and I just research something about it. I
hope you mind with me. English is not my mother tong.

Description:
When I close my laptop (dell inspiron1721, 2GB, vista home premium sp1
uptodate, plenty of disk) there is no problem at all.

When I open the laptop again, svchost takes over the cpu and almost
nothing can be done. I was able to locate the task and shows the
following process running: (this is a screenshot today not when the
problem was, but is the same info)

[image: http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/7566/svchost.jpg]

Clicking on properties I found ntdll.dll tha process using the cpu. (in
windows/system32 dated 19/1/2008)

The issue follows:

If I try to restart the laptop I cannot. The process doesn’t allow. I
can go as far as the "login out" screen and nothing more. The only way
is to power off, but when I want to power on the laptop again, after the
password is entered the same process starts again and the bott is not
completed. (yesterday I waited for 30 minutes in this restart and
nothing)

The only way to regain control of the machine is to start sysinternals
process explorer as administrator and kill the svchost. Now I can
shutdown, restart etc.

I understand something is confilcting here but I like some advice in
order to prevent a new install (I just did that back in December)

Any idea is very welcome and of course really appreciated,

Regards,
