  Although double-clicking on an icon only the last icon in the window opens. Pls help me...

  Hi Peter,.

  1 when was the last time that the desktop icons worked?

  2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

  3. don't you face any performance issues on the computer?

  4 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I would say allowing you to run the FIXIT from the link provided and check.

  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, you can also run the Scanner security Microsoft and check all infections.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

  Method 3:

  I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

  Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

  "I thought that this area was a place to really get answers instead of the ole same"answers of bs that are on all the other forums."

  It is a place that will try to help you fix your computer if you have problems.  It has technicians in computing, no decision-makers, developers or executives.  We will try to answer technical questions about problems you might have with Windows Vista.

  If you want to have input on the future of Microsoft operating systems, then help you beta-test and provide feedback to the developers.  Windows 7 and IE 8 are currently in beta.

  Another possible place you could make suggestions which could see the developers would be:

• How can I remove Blinx drive of Windows Vista?

  HOW CAN I REMOVE BLINX PLAYER OF WINDOWS VISTA?

  Hi Briano,

  To my knowledge, it is a program and not a malicious software - so the following should do the trick (no problems of malware as far as I can tell - but if the following does not work, only after back with how you know there's always and we'll see what we can do.)

  What I've read, the process should be as remove any program http://www.ehow.com/how_7347305_remove-blinkx.html; However, just to be safe, we will use a method that tends to work better in almost all cases.   Download and install Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html (the free version) and use it in advanced mode to uninstall and completely remove Blinx.  Once completed, restart and Olivier Bonnet should be gone for good.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• After uninstalling a program cannot remove the icon on the desktop

  After you uninstall a program, I stayed with the icon on my desktop. I tried to remove the icon, but I couldn't. I got an error message saying it did not find the program so could not delete the message icon. I ran across this error often and would like some comments on how to remove icons or everything that's left after you have removed (uninstalled) a program, thanks.

  The easiest way is to reinstall the program > removes 1 icon > then uninstall the program again.

  See you soon.
