-At the time, I did something to where when I open a file in photoshop, is no longer a single window, now it is two storage ones. one for the program itself, and another for the actual file how to return it where it's a window without having to be full screen mode? I managed to go a few times like this, but right now it's really annoying me. Help!
Just drag the small window up just under the toolbar, you will see the area highlighted, and when you drop the file should anchor.

Hi DJ_KingSize,
This problem occurs because some legacy applications use files or components that were developed prior to Windows Vista. The names of these audio components may be different in Windows Vista. If the calling application uses the hard-coded file names, the new files and components could not be found.
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to change the audio settings for a device.
Method 1: Use the order Volume of Windows
To use the Volume of Windows command to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:
1. right click on the speaker in the notification area icon and then click recording devices or reading.
2. double-click on the device for which you want to adjust the settings. For example, double-click on Microphone.
3. click on the levels tab.
4. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK
Method 2: Use the control panel
For control panel allows you to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click hardware and sound and then click sound.
2. click on the playback or recording.
3. double-click on the device for which you want to adjust the settings. For example, double-click on Microphone.
4. click on the levels tab.
5. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.
For more information, see the link below:

I have Windows vista Ultimate edition. but he started asking for activation after the windows update while it has already been activated before the update.
Hello, Pichon,
If Windows Vista application unexpected activation
On rare occasions, you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer that did not previously require Windows Vista activation or has already been activated successfully. For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.
If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:
- Click Start, and then click computer.
- Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
- Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.
To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.
To update to Windows Vista and prevent this activation problem does not happen:
- Click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Update.
- Click find updates.
- As soon as Windows Vista found the updates, click the install updates button.

Just bought a Nikon D7200 camera. Had a D7100. 11 of the components support the camera. Using of 11 items, the D7200 will not import the RAW files. I can't go to 14 items because I have Windows Vista... 14 platform not supported by Vista. Looking for something for me to 'trigger' with a new computer due to the fact that Vista can not do a bunch of stuff, so I ordered one with 14 elements. @ I understand that 14 elements does support the Nikon D7200 because it comes with Camera Raw 9.1. Is this correct?
Yes PSE13 or PSE14 will support the D7200

This computer was given to me by my kids. I had with Windows Vista already installed. I also want to install Windows XP to my Quick Books program. Vista will not let me install XP. Can you help me?
Hello
You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.
You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.
If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:
http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm
http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html
I prefer the Instructions in the second link.
Here's another consideration on the use of the XP Compatibility Mode in Vista for QuickBooks, but as I don't use QuickBooks, you will need to request support QuickBooks if it would work in this way.

I had a power outage and when the power came back, the icon of the voice in the lower right corner (taskbar?) was absent. My computer (Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267) regulator dial is broken, so I can't adjust the volume without the sound icon. I have a sound icon on the left side of the taskbar, but it does not regulate the volume.
I have Windows Vista Home Edition.
All other icons that were previously in the taskbar reappeared once the power has been restored. I have sound, but I can't adjust the volume.
