• Since I installed Windows Vista is almost a year I've got dosens access folders that refuse to allow me and I am the administrator! Why?

  Currently under Vista 64-bit with Service Pack 2.
  "Records among 'Application Data', 'Cookies', 'Local Settings', 'Neighbourhood of printing', 'Recent', ' send to ', 'Start Menu', 'Templates', 'Documents & Settings', 'Office' Documents ', 'Default user' at different levels 'tree '.

  Some of these folders are junction points http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968829 (VS.85) .aspx which are NOT supposed to be accessed (they are there for backwards compatibility).  Even though you can access it, you would not make all changes because that could cause programs on your system suddenly stop working right and fixing the problem would be troublesome.

  Some files are special system folders and are blocked by permissions.  These can be replaced if necessary (but they are probably blocked for a reason to make sure you know what you're doing when you try to access - usually, this means that changes can have a negative effect on your system unless you REALLY know what you're doing).

  Some of the files you listed should be available or can be made available (possibly with modifications of permission) If you are in your profile (or an administrator in another profile).  For some of these issues, I would ask that you are trying to do - there is no reason to open some of these files.  Others, I can see the point and we can 'fix' by changing the permissions and/or property as follows:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block even against access and they serve as points of junction, for example (if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
   
  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

• When install Vista Home Premium computer hangs on the language selection screen. No visible cursor, the keyboard and the mouse does not.

  Hi, when I try to install vista that Home Premium 32 bits on the computer of my son, through the installation of loading files with the gray bar at the bottom, then goes to the screen language selection, at this stage, I can not select anything using the keyboard or the mouse. There is no cursor visible. Keyboard and mouse both work fine in the bios and on other machines. Have used other keyboards and mice on the machine in question, but that makes no difference. Tried another copy of vista, no difference. Tested on Windows 7 install and everything works fine!

  Very confused, thinking that it must be a driver problem, but how about him? Any help is appreciated!

  Hi Rickydg,

  Thanks for posting. Please contact ASUS and see if there is a BIOS update available for your system. Update the BIOS and then try to install again.

• I can not connect on windows vista home basic desktop pc because of the former owner

  I can't log on to Windows vista home basic desktop pc because of the password previous owners is unknown

  Hello

  Try the following.

  Using another PC, download the app from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

  PC login now

  Once the download is complete, open your download folder and double-click on the installer - this will result in another file, which is the disk image (.) ISO) you need to burn to a blank CD.

  Now, you will need to use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.

  When the disk has been created, shut down the PC you can not log on, press the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press enter - peut also have you to "Press any key" to boot from the CD if asked to.

  Follow the instructions on the guide here to remove the current password.

• My desktop Dell - Vista - computer does not, the monitor says no entry and have to wake up computer

  I have a desktop Dell Vista computer.  A few days earlier, when I pressed the power button to turn it on, nothing happened.  When I turned on the monitor, he says that he came into power saving mode.  When I checked the monitor once again, he said that there is no entry for the computer and press any key of the keyboard or mouse to wake up.

  The computer is plugged in and the green light in the back is on.  I don't remember putting the computer to sleep.  I thought I made a stop for a few days in advance.  Press and hold the power button on the computer does not start it or turn it off.  There is no sound (such as a fan).  I unplugged the computer briefly a few times, and then I finally unplugged overnight and is plugged in.  Light lights up in the back, but is not the "num lock" key on the keyboard and the light under the mouse does not light.

  I checked a few suggestions on this site, but they all require that the computer be on and you enter in this form or the screen.  Is the computer dead?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

• wireless multimedia keyboard Microsoft 1.1 on my desktop using Vista home premium and the keys are coming all wrong

  I have a multimedia keyboard 1.1 microsoft wireless on my desktop using Vista Home premium, and the keys are all coming up badly, when I type 'k' for example I get 'a' or if I type 'p' I get 'v' and give me space '9' someone can tell me how to solve this problem?

  Hi Winchesterdream,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers community site.

  I suggest you try the following steps

  Step 1: Connect the keyboard to a different computer. If the keyboard works correctly on another computer, the port to which the keyboard was connected on the original computer may be damaged. If this is the case, contact your computer manufacturer to find out how to repair or replace the damaged port.

  Step 2: Download and install the latest keyboard software

  To download the latest drivers for the keyboard that you use, see the following Microsoft hardware Web site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK

  Step 3: Press the SHIFT key to turn five times keys Stick On or Off and check if the problem persists.

  Let me know if it works. Good luck!

  Hope it will be useful.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Wireless laptop running Vista 32 and wired desktop under Vista 64 can access Internet, but not each other!

  My laptop Vista 32 unreal access router and ping its own IP address, but no access to Vista 64-bit Wired Office with ping or try to access folders shared I place some months ago and used without problem until about 2 days ago. I recently did a restore of the laptop but it worked after that and I adjusted all the settings. I have Net bios over TCP/IP enabled on both machines. I have two machines on the workgroup and file sharing is enabled on both. Vista 64 desktop computer can access the Internet but can not access the shared folders that I put in this PC! He cannot ping the router either but can be accessed via the routers Web page. The router is configured correctly as well. I became a master browser errors on Vista 64 desktop until I changed the registry on the laptop off car with respect to the list of servers. I'm a computer technician with networking experience, but am confused on this one. There are so many problems over there near the mine, but they usually have xp machines trying to access Vista or vice-verse. In addition, they cannot access the Internet generally. If anyone out there has any intelligent suggestions I'm desperate, but know that I have this research completely so guess I did all the basic troubleshooting to save time you and me. Thanks in advance to anyone with advice!

• Sony clie hot-sync with Palm desktop on Vista (32 bit)

  I got my Clie TH-55(Palm OS 5.2.1) for some time now, say 2 years, but recently, I made the switch to Vista (not by choice, I got a new laptop for free). I had been synchronize my CLIÉ Palm Desktop and so when I got my new laptop, I went and download desktop 4.1.4e in the hopes that I could continue the sync on vista. The installation went well, it is, I can do a hot sync but none of my data transfers. If I create a new contact on my handheld, it will not be displayed on the desktop and even vice versa. When I check the hot sync log, it says that there are no errors. I didn't know if I should go to the forums of Palm or Clie forums so I apologize if this is no longer a Clie problem which should be in the forums of clie. Thanks in advance...

  
  

  Message relates to: None

  I found the problem, it had to do with the running of the Office to palm as an administrator. Once that I thought that was the problem, I put it to always run as administrator.

• unstable desktop in vista

  Hello

  I created a desktop windows with LabVIEW 8.2.1 application which I scoured his built exe file.

  In XP and Windows 7, there is no problem, but in Vista, it is unstable. After some little time that they run, he has a problem and it must be closed, with the error message corresponding to Windows Vista (look for the problem in the Internet or close the application).

  What is more, after having observed the use of CPU (3-5%) and RAM (22Mo) in Windows 7, it seems not have a problem.

  What may cause this situation?

  Thank you in advance.

  I don't have another Vista PC, but if I find one for a while, I wll give it a try.

  The executable that is unstable is not unique. I improved the code regularly, so I create a new executable file each time, not a full installer. 3 files that are generated, are the following: * .aliases, *. exe, *.ini.

  What is more, all machines work 32-bit windows.

• I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards. How can I fix it?

  I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards.  How can I fix it?

  Hello FrankHeinsohn,

  Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.

  Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.

  Hi Brad blair,.

  ·         What is the full error message?

  ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Please check the error code that you provided as it seems to be incorrect.

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can try to perform the backup on a different DVD and check if it works.

  Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
