Skype seems to open on my windows Vista
I was givin this laptop Windows Vista for my birthday, and for some time now, my Skype can't open at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but it doesn't seem to work. What is wrong with it!
Your installation of Vista is very outdated. You first need to install the Service Pack 2 (SP2). None of the latest versions of Skype will run without Vista update to SP2.

After installing SP2, you should look at the updates for all device drivers.

Make sure you also That Internet Explorer is updated to the version currently last of IE9 for Vista.

Cannot open attachments in Windows Vista
When I try to open the attachments (pdf), I get an error message stating "Windows Mail removed access to the following dangerous attachments in your mail: pdf.
The emails come from a known sender (my mortgage co).
It doesn't give you any other options to open it or the description of the reason why it was considered "potentially dangerous." It is a new problem from a few months ago and I made no changes to any settings... Any ideas? (Windows Vista)

Im trying to use a new 4G Verbatim USB flash as RAM drive. The USB 2.0 flash drive, micro size so I can leave it plugged dedicated solely to that purpose. When I go to 'Properties' and I open the reading push tab I get "the device is plugged into an unsupported interface ' it is plugged into the USB 2.0 port I used before.» When I plug the USB in an another store bought (more long and 8 GB) I click on the Ready Boost tab and I get the options use as RAM. This one is too long to use.
Hello
You can view the information of the link.
Note: a flash drive may seem meet these requirements, but Windows Vista can still detect it not as compatible ReadyBoost if its rated speed measures sequential and random performance and performance is not always quick on the set of the flash player.
Hope the information is useful.

Will not activate Windows Vista on a HP computer.
The motherboard on my computer went bad and wouldn't even start Windows Vista. I replaced the motherboard and reinstalled Vista, but when I type the product key for Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct HP sticker: [redacted key product], I get the message: "the product key you have entered does not seem to be a valid Windows Vista product key.» Please check your product key, and then type it again. I'm not able to activate Windows. Please help me.
Hello
Since you have changed your motherboard the system configuration will be different, and this is the reason why you're not able to activate your copy of Windows Vista. I suggest do phone activation and check if you are able to activate your copy of Windows Vista. Click on the link below.

Windows Vista went to classic windows
Could someone help me solve the problem that windows vista went to classic windows?
I had a media file, and when I tried to open this file, windows vista is passed to windows classic. I tried to check the damage file by running sfc/scannow in CMD and it showed that the CBS.log newspaper is the cause of the error. Could you please tell me how to fix?Hello
Classic view gives Windows the look and behavior of earlier versions. To restore the default theme, try the following steps.
1. open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization and then clicking theme.
2. under theme, select the theme in the drop-down list and click OK.For more information, see this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Change-desktop-theme
I hope this helps.

original title: lost document
I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?
If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared. There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

7.15 Skype on Windows Vista freezes on startup
I've updated to Skype latest version 7.14 and 7.15 on my Windows Vista and after this update, Skype starts ever upward. Even if he starts, he ends up Skype closes with a problem. Completely uninstalled and resinstalled, checked the updates of windows, then all the FAQ, but not luck.
After a session with an agent of Skype screen sharing and proving that this problem only occurs with the recent version, he was able to recognize this bug with 7.14 + version. I have download the old version and it started to work very well. Today, when I've updated my Skype to 7.17.0.105 version on Windows Vista, looks like Microsoft/Skype has listened to the bug report and have it fixed! Hooray! Thank you, dear friends. In addition, it seems they have fixed another bug where we sign out of Skype, it took too much time to finally get back to the login screen and has hosted the Windows machine during this process. Double Kudos to the team for fixing this loooooooooooooooooooooong pending correction of problem!
