I just got a new notebook, and want to share a calendar between my wife and I. I want her to have her own user account for a variety of reasons but I can't get the data updated correctly. I've tried using a calendar in the /public/public documents folder, and it can be opened but isn't updating correctly. There has to be a way to do this... TIA

I purchased a Dell pc last week with Vista. I am unable to run MAME32 and continually get the error message headed 'Windows- No Disk', with the text 'Exception Processing Message oxc0000013 Parameters ox760B023C 0x83AC592C Ox760B023C 0x760B023C' I often have to go to task manager to get rid of this message. I have browsed several forums/groups and gather that this kind of message is mainly related to removable drives having the same letter as another drive, however this is not the case with my pc. I did have quciktime installed and have now removed it as this had also been mentioned as a possible cause. So I am at a loss as to what the roblem is and how t…

Scenario Laptop comes with preinstalled Vista My old Scanner doesn't run in Vista I create a new partition (D), planning to install XP here After installing, Xp defines (D) as the "boot" partition, meaning that I can no longer startup from Vista OS What can be done? I suppose it's only a matter of setting C (the Vista partition) to become the boot partition... Please help!

Hi: To all respective forum readers, please take notice: 1) First of all, my apologies for such a wide off-topic cross- posting. It's unusual, and very frowned upon. But I deem it necessary in lieu of recent events. You can just disregard if you will. 2) There is a user on the net who has impersonated "Don Klipstein", me, as well as other respectable Usenet posters. He/she is using our names, email addresses, and profiles to post nonsense on Usenet newsgroups. This impersonator seems to be located either in Burma or Korea and has the IP address of 208.142.141.177. 3) Doing a WHOIS checkup on 208.142.141.177 locates the source to be in Seoul, Korea: …

My computer hadn't updated itself in over two weeks and I started getting suspicious I went and ran windows update only to receive this error. C:\Windows\System32\wuapp.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I went to the folder to discover that the file exists but the file size is 0KB. The date modified is the same as the other files so I'm not sure if it is a hacked file or not. I most likely need to replace the file, but I have not found this error anywhere else on the web, can anyone help me replace the file or fix the issue? Thanks, ~Ian Lincoln, NE Windows Vista Business 32-Bit

hi i'm having the same problem -windows 'could not search for new updates' with error 80070424. mine is a vista home premium machine though.. tried putting all the suggested commands into 'run' and the following two failed: (1) the module wucltui.dll failed to load. make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .dll files. the specified module could not be found.

I use Cute ftp (v 2.8 - yes, it's old but it has always worked fine). I was using it this morning - connected to two different sites - ftp'd files and then quit. About 1/2 hour later I tried to re-open it and now I get this "winsock ftp client has stopped working" and the only option I have is to "close program." The error code in the log is 1000 - anyone have any similar experience or know what the solution is to this one? I've had Vista for several months now and have not had a problem with Cute ftp until today (and no updates were installed while I was working this morning so that's not the problem/solution). Please e-mail me at dennish130@verizon.net i…

Is there any way to have vista, upon resume, to display all users rather than having to switch users? On my PC I have multiple users and I have it setup so that on resume, the logon screen is displayed. This is what I want, however it only displays the last user (locked) and often my wife simply clicks my Username because it is easier than clicking Switch User, and then her own Username.

Hi, this problem just began for me last night, I didn't notice it at first until I opened up Internet explorer and realized there was no sound from anything. Not from streaming video, clicking buttons, anything. Then I realized I had no sound from my desktop, no sound from error messages, or clicking things. I did though have sound from playing music in Media Player 11. I use Logitech USB headphones, and Dell Speakers with Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card. I have checked for updates, none. Device manager says their working fine. Nothing is muted and the volume level is fine because I can get sound from music and video playing in WMP. Any suggest…

I have a Pinnacle PCTV 800e USB tuner that I'd like to use with WMC. I have both an antenna and cable feed (no set top box, it's straight from the wall) connected to a switch which is then connected to the 800e. So I can get HD stations from the antenna and SD feeds from cable by flipping the switch. My question is, is there any way to manually set up the channels in WMC so that I don't have to re-configure WMC every time I want to switch between an HD station and a SD one?

I keep a small number of short video clips in a file. With thumbnail views, some show a picture from the clip in the thumbnail, some don't. There seems to be no difference in the file types concerned. About half the thumbnails are just black squares. Is there a reason, please?

I tried the Vista diver specific driver, no luck either. BTW I installed recent Vista update and now I the logon icons are all in duplicates. Hmm

Hi, I connected a PC from workgroup to a domain. Its a big network and i am sure that there is no problem in the server side as we are using around 1000 PCs in a single domain. Also, the pc i connected in the domain is a new installed windows XP SP2. After connecting to a domain i tried to add a domain user in the administrators group in that PC through Local User and Groups by Right clicking the My Computer and clicking the Manage button. When i opened the Administrators group in the Local User and Groups and clicked add button, it shows only the local PC name in the Locations tab. When i clicked the Locations tab it is showing only the local PC name. …

Hello, I think the cpu usage of drivers and the drivers themselfes don't show up in the task manager. So the user is getting only a "half" picture of the system. The idea is to include a driver manager as well which shows all drivers loaded and possibly there cpu and memory, and bandwidth usage and such. Even task manager could be improved by showing bandwidth usage per application ) This would give the user more insight in the system, know what's load and might help to track down bad drivers. Bye, Skybuck.
