Using SEARCH in Vista
Vista has a SEARCH tool in the toolbar at the left corner down. Is there a better tool to search for files or folders with. The limitation that I find with this is that you type some characters or a character string and word-matches appear in the window above. When you click one of the displayed entries he takes into the document itself and opens it. I just want to display a list of files (in a file) so I can store my files and folders, by putting all the copies of a file in the same folder. Doing it the way Vista takes too long and ends the search when you click one of the displayed options. Is there a way I can get to part of a file name and just get it displayed in a 'normal' case, which remains open until you have chosen to close?

someone on this planet knows!
XP home sp3 can use printer/sp2 vista home premium & files on a network private wireless, but not vice versa. Vista can see xp connected on the entire map, but can not do anything with the icon (it shows the IP etc. When hovered over with the mouse). tried fix & checked all the rest including the settings found on the masses of internet sites. don't think that this problem is so widespread and not final fix?. someone must know the answer. both computers have norton 360 v6. !. two computers use internet very well through the same network switch. two computers worked flawlessly again, no repairs, no reinstall, not zero other problems ever (always ran 360 and first market backup battery).Hello

I try to install vista on a computer running xp. XP does not even recognize the vista disc is in the drive. XP recognizes any other drive that I use and the vista drive is recognized on other computers, that I put it in it's not a prob with the disk or cd rom
The Vista installation disc is a DVD. Apparently, you don't have a DVD player. You would need to purchase/install a DVD-ROM or DVD - RW to install Vista. Are you sure that your hardware supports Vista before doing this?
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/system-requirements.aspx
Even if a minimum of 1 GB, the requirements in the real world Vista requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM to run without problem. You will also need Vista drivers for all your hardware.http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Used the wrong Vista disc to repair install
I have 2 vista computers and used lot windows vista disk for the installation of repair and then active with the code from the correct disk. Update does not work, I think it is related to the fact a repair with the bad vista disc installation (control pnel shows SP2 installed.) I do a new repair install using the correct windows disc? Update C80003FA error code and AutoCorrect cannot correct problem (States: failed). Thank you
Hello
If the DVD you have is Microsoft Vista DVD (retail or OEM System Builders DVD sales) that you have bought yourself that shouldn't be the problem with a repair installation, because they contain the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Information from Microsoft about this update error code points to the problems related to the Internet.
This is where you got the Fix - It of?
"Windows Update 80244016, 8024402f, or c80003fa error".
Another thing that you do not tell us is why you did a repair install, as this can have an impact on your current problem.
See you soon.

Thanks for joining us on the Microsoft Community.
According the description of the problem, it seems that you have trouble understanding what license key to use for Windows Vista COA (certificate of authenticity).
The license key which is present under the laptop is specific to the version of Windows came with your laptop that is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit operating system.
I recommend you to use the key license or product key present on the Windows Vista Home Premium DVD for Windows Activation.

Original title: Windows Mail
I use Windows Mail (Vista OS) on my home PC. Can I access my account from another PC? If so, how do
You will need to create an account on the other PC the same as the one you have now.On both machines:Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.If it doesn't is that for a brief period of trip example, you might be better parcel just connect to the Webmail of your server site. -
I have Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile (laptop) with pre installed Windows Vista Home basic. It is in the English language.
When I want to re-installed Vista using (supplied with Labtop) restore DVD, after the installation, it is in Arabic. I tried to change this language but I can't. Could you please help to solve this problem.
Thank you
Hello
You will need to contact Fujitsu about this.
You cannot change languages with Vista Ultimate and Enterprise.
You can have a different result if you try reinstalling using this method.
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

It's a matter of time.Save each project in the. Film WMV format. Then you can import
the three films in DVD Maker files and each of them will be a chapter...
This way, you will have a menu.Once the DVD-video is encoded you cannot add additional files
the DVD.If you need information on how to save... validate your version of Movie Maker.

Transfer of license with a twist
So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.
If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone. Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315
If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows. Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.
