  Hey jennyanderson99

  as you ask specifically about active desktop, here's what it is, or in your case what she was before vista released

  Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update that allows the user to add optional contentHTML on the Office, as well as a few other features. This feature was designed to be installed on theWindows 95 operating system then in force. It was also included inWindows 98 and later Windows operating systems up toWindows Vista, where the feature wasdiscontinued. This corresponds to the version ofInternet Explorer 4.0 to 6.x, but not Internet Explorer 7.

  HTML users can add in place of the ordinary wallpaper as independent resizable desktop items. Items available online can be regularly updated and synchronized so that users can stay up-to-date without visiting the site in their browser.

  Active Desktop works as the technology of desktop widget that allows users to add customized their desktop information.

  The introduction of the Active Desktop brand attempt by Microsoft to take advantage of the ephemeral trendtechnology push led by PointCast. Active Desktop has imposed a number of "channels" ofdesktop computers that provided information updated continuously, such as headlines and stock quotes, without the user to open aWeb browser of the user.

  Active Desktop debuted during the publication of 1997 of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, install it as a feature of theWindows Desktop Update offered to users during the upgrade option. The Windows desktop update is commonly referred to as (bad) Active Desktop itself, but it is actually a whole Windows shell to level v4.0 to v4.71, or v4.72, with many changes in the Windows interface, resulting in a level look and features almost indistinguishable from the Windows 98, then again to-be-released. Features include the ability to allow uppercase filenames (the old v4.0 Desktop would forcibly filenames in title case uppercase), the dynamic tracking file selection click configurable, customizable by HTML, QuickLaunch folder display settings mini buttons on the taskbar next to the Start button, improved to Start Menu drag and drop re-organization of the elements and menus contextual click right to rename point etc. With the update, Windows Explorer now has an address bar in Internet addresses that can be entered and driven seamlessly.

  Active Desktop was widely regarded as a failure, with one of the main problems being its use high system and reduction of the stability of the system resources. Although not used^{[citation needed]}, the availability of Active Desktop was decisive for the legal argument Microsoft in antitrust case of United States v. Microsoft , that Internet Explorer has a feature of Windows, not a separate product.

  Later use

  Windows Vista has replaced the Active Desktop withWindows Sidebar (now called Gadgets Windows Desktop fromWindows 7), which also allows the components to add to the desktop. Windows XP is the newest operating system from Microsoft to support Active Desktop. It seems that the 64 bit version of Windows XP supports is no longer Active Desktop. It provides always the option to display Web pages and channels built with MicrosoftChannel Definition Format (CDF) on the desktop.

  Display HTML features are now mainly used for creating wallpapers originals and adding the fields of desktop search. For example, a user can copy the following code to display the search box of Wikipedia on the desktop:

• Desktop gadgets Windows 7 (x 64) has stopped working

  My desktop in Windows 7 (x 64) gadgets ceased to operate (display does not correctly). Tried to fix the problem, none of their solutions from Google. When I add gadgets, I only see a .75cm small white box of 1 cm and the X to clear or remove the drag to go directly under the right-hand side of the box empty tiny. Does anyone else have the Gadget to stop working?

  UAC (User Account Control) is turned off? Gadgets will not work if you have turned off UAC you'll need to turn it back on it. If you still have questions after that only to try a system restore to a time where they worked as it may be a problem of corruption/system registry.

  Hi Russell,

   
   
  1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
  2. What is the exact location of the file in the folder you want to delete?
  3. What is the exact error you are getting?
   
  I suggest you follow the methods and check if it helps.
   
  Method 1: Run the fix - it for the link and if it helps.
   
  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/
   
   
  Method 2:

  Run check file system (CFS) analyses and checks to see if it helps.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Note: System File Checker gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonceor sfc /scanboot orders to repair its contents.

  Hi I have a 4.4 WEI this being curbed by "Graphics: Desktop for windows aero performance" have a score of processor game graphics 5.9 5.6 5.2 and 5.9 main hard drive memory. Any ideas on how I can get the score of 4.4 superior?
  What about John

  Search for the latest drivers on the website of the manufacturer of your video card. Manually search for on the site, don't use no matter what scanner because it and the one in the device manager - driver updates can find old drivers certified, Microsoft is well behing certifying new driver.

  If you need help to find them look in control panel - display adapter - device management

  Tell us the brand and model with driver Dates and Versions.

  Also allows a fast video card but I'd check the driver 1.

I have a laptop with W 7 (64-bit) and to print on a desktop printer.  I have configured the settings to allow the sharing of files on the vista machine and now in this network sharing Center it is written after the sharing printers and public folder sharing (password required).  Which passwords they are referring to and how do I enter them?

  I decided to bite the bullet and updated desktop for Windows 7.  Now, portable and office are on the same operating system.  Then I used the home network.  The network was a snap to set up and works perfectly.
