Using the icons of folders Windows XP in Windows Vista
I just bought a new computer which has Windows Vista. I hate these "enhanced" folder icons Is it possible to use Windows XP icons that allow thumbnails, "gouged out" rather than distorted overlapping ones? (I read the previous post, made in December, but the answers did not sense to me - I'm not a guy to young computer scientists).
You can try it, if that's what you mean:
(1) right click on a folder.
2) go to the Customize tab.
(3) glance that you want to change.
It's all the options that you have.

How to use the Microsoft Narrator in Windows Vista
I would use this feature - just do not know how. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated?
Hello
Windows comes with a screen reader called Narrator, which reads text on the screen aloud and describes some events (such as displaying an error message) that happen while you're using the computer.
You can see the following article on how to use the narrator in Windows Vista.

How to use the scheduled tasks in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?
We bought a new computer with Windows Vista, at our previous computer (Windows XP) planned to tasks in the control panel to stop future elements at the start of the system, how to keep the elements that it slows down my computer to come at the start of the system
1. use Windows Defender to manage startup programs.
2. http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Read the above info.
3 use this program:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
4. go into each program > tools > Options > see if you can disable the startup when Windows starts.
See you soon.

Had to restart the computer and turned on will not go beyond Windows Vista of the screen blue, not able to see the start with all the icons page
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 that I would use the edition update for Windows XP?
Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 to upgrade Windows XP with a custom installation, as I would with Windows 7 Upgrade Edition if I want? (If I decided that I would rather clean the entire hard drive so I can use the full Version of Windows 7 without the need of Windows XP or Vista)
Hello
To upgrade your Windows XP computer to Windows 7, you will need to select custom during installation of Windows 7. A custom installation keeps your programs, files or settings. It is sometimes called a 'clean' for this reason installation.

Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7
People,
I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc. Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".
When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo. A few pixels logo show and then it's there. Any ideas? I worked on it for several days. Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!
Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer. After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

E-mail on the Start Menu of Windows Vista top icon does not work
Icon of e-mail on the top of the Start Menu of Windows Vista does not work. It displays a generic icon and when clicked shows an error message that reads as follows: "Explorer.EXE - Application not found. What I want to do is to launch Windows Live Mail (version 2009). The application works normally at the start of the Menu start Windows Live Group. I can not select Windows Live Mail as the default mail in the window client Customize Start Manu, because it does not appear there at all. There is an entry under the name "Windows Live Mail", but it defines the mail client by default for the site Web of Windows Live Mail, not the program. I tried to reinstall and repair Windows Live Essentials, but neither helped.
