Not sure whether the problem began with XP SP3 or as a result of optimizing my hard drive with Norton System Works 2008. Noted after installing Acrobat Pro 9 that it will not pdf any documents as the system would not setup the necessary printers. Tried adding a printer manually and get the Operation Cannot Complete message. The fix to this is to ensure that Print Spooler is running in Services which it is. It both comes on automatically at boot and stays started. I have also attempted to manually shut it down and then start it but to no avail. If it's not the spooler, any suggestions of what it could be. I'd like to avoid reinstall my entire machi…

Okay, this is a strange one. Using Windows 2003 Standard SP2, I'm forcing the default wallpaper displayed at logon using the following registry key. [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="%systemroot%\\wallpaper.jpg" The wallpaper shows up as expected. However, if you grab the logon dialog box with the mouse and move it around the screen, it erases the graphics in the jpg! I tried the same thing using a bmp and didn't have that problem. Any ideas what would cause this? Thanks. Steve

I can only burn one file at a time to cd. After I copy one file to cd it will eject, I close the tray and then the send to menu does not show an option to send a file to cd drive E. Sometimes I can remove the cd, close the tray then put the cd back in and send to menu will show "send to cd drive E" sometimes not. There have been times when I could copy several file with no problem. What am I doing wrong? Any way to stop the tray from opening after I burn a cd? I could stop it from opening with xp but don't find how to do that on vista. using CD-R EMachines T5274 vitsa home premium 32 bit

I had the same problem - yesterday I got a message saying something about "can't find fixlet blah blah" and the fixlets that were already there are no longer there, the program is basically a blank form and I can't get what was there back. I'm not sure how worthwhile this BigFix program is (new to vista, got this laptop 3 days ago), but it is very disconcerting to have programs failing this soon. :cool: It would also be nice to have the instructions back that were in there on how to create recovery disks (which I could probably figure out myself in a couple minutes, but still...). -- Jack Straw Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
