• Can't unzip the files using the Windows Vista option extract all

  I tried to unzip the files, I have downloaded from the Web site by using the context menu "extract all... "on the file.  I have a Board error saying that the compressed (zipped) folder is empty.  If I try a double click on the file, I get the message that the zip file is not valid.  This has happened to every zip file I tried to unpack so far.  The only files I can unpack so far are those I zipped myself using the context menu "send to folder of Compssed of-->" of Windows Vista.  Any suggestions?

  Zip (compression) of files and folders

  Right click on a file or a folder with many files it contains, point to send to, and then select the compressed file (zipped file).

  Windows Vista will compress (zip) the file or folder and save the new file zipped in the same place as the original file.

  Unzip (unzip) files and folders

  You can unzip a file in several different ways.

  Double-click the zipped file

  To decompress a file, the easiest method is to double-click it. It will open a window with the contents of zipped files. You can click on extract all files or drag the files from the window to the desired location (example: office).

  If you choose to click on extract all files, the files are extracts (uncompressed) in the same location as the original file, unless you specify a location in the Destination box, and extract the files that appears when you choose to extract them.

  Right-click on the zipped file

  Right click on the zip file and select extract all. The Select a Destination window will open and extract files and you can choose if you want to save the files in the same location as the original file, or you can choose where you want to save the unzipped files by clicking Browse and choose a new location.

  Personally, I download, install and use 7-Zip for all needs in my compression/decompression (in general).

• How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  Hi Harry,.

  Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).

  The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup.   Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html.  Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder.  Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.

  Another option is to do this by using the registry editor.  If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin.  Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html.  I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.

  If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning.  If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured).  It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.

  I hope this helps.  Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time.  Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.

  If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer.  If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.

  Good luck!

• How to restore corrupted files windows vista system (audiosvc, audioendpointbuilder)

  My audio service seems to be corrupted.  When I start in safe mode and stop the sound service, then restart works fine.  When I turn on the audio service then the computer crashes immediately.

  How can I locate audio files windows vista 64 and re-install them.

  Hello

  Make sure you have the latest audio drivers for vista for your computer which you can get your site of card manufacturers sound or computer

  go to their website and look for a driver and software download section

  Enter your model number for the last look drivers vista then download and install

  also run the sfc/scannow command.

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

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

  If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
