HAVEA PROBLEM DOWNLOADING A VERSION OF ADOBE READER 8
AFTER DOWNLOADING IT I ATTEMP TO RUN IT ONLY TO BE TOLD THE TEMP FOLDER IS INACCESIBLE, YET I AM NOT USING IT. I AM ALSO THE USING AN ADMINSTRATIVE USER STATUS, WHAT CAN I DO TO GET ADOBE READER ON MY NEW MACHINE (WAS SO EASY ON XP)
I cant figure out why when I do a copy and replace off my flash disk (or any other media for that matter) the file is not replaced. Exactly the same file is still there. I have an MDB file in my program directory c:\program files\seafactory
and it was missing a few fields in a couble of tables and a couple of queries. So i copy the good MDB from my development PC onto a flash drive, take it over to the other PC say I want to copy it, then im prompted for what action I wish to perform – copy and replace, then Im prompted to ensure I want to complete this action – Yes. All good. but the file hasnt been replaced. I delete the file then copy in the new one. The old one is still there. I delete the file and run my program, works fine becuase the file is somehow still there. I delete my whole program folder. Run the program it still works becuase somehow it’s still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi I heard that with windows vista the security will not let you download Limewire and Kazaa type programs. Is this true?

Recently installed the Vista home premium upgrade…everything works fine, But…I can’t get my bluetooth dongle to load…every time i try to load the install program, Vista tells me I don’t have admin rights, eventhough I’m the only user and admin…what am I doing wrong…signed blueless and toothless
I downloaded vista on my hp dv9035. Icant find my lightscribe, where is it
I have a question. I have a Japanese version of Vista Home Premium (for my wife) but I would like to install an English version for me. Do I need to dual boot or is there a really easy way to have both that I don`t know about? Thanks.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE.
WHEN I HAVE WRITTEN A DOCUMENT IN WORD I CANNOT SEND IT BY EMAIL. WHEN I ACCESS THE SEND FOLDER IT ONLY ALLOWS ME TO SEND VIA FAX. ANY SOLUTION AS TO HOW I CAN SEND MY DOCS.
MANY THANKS.
I just bought a computer and it’s a windows vista home premium edition. It’s pretty cool, yeah, but sometimes trouble gets on the way. This time it’s about changing the monitor’s brightness/contrast settings. The monitor doesn’t have the buttons to change the settings like most computers do. And I can’t do it by right-clicking the desktop either. How can I change them then? In my keyboard there’s this picture of a sun with a minus (-) sign in F5 and one with a plus sign (+) in F6, but i can’t get them to work and I’m not sure those are responsible for the brightness settings.
Thank you
hi
im trying to install the talk talk software onto my windows vista pc,but when i try to launch the cd it says i need to be logged on as an administator,so i set myself up as an administrator and still it says you are not logged on as an administrator and to log out and log in again as an administrator,but it wont recognize me as such,very frustrating,any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated,thankyou for your time
carl.
Carl, open the CD in Windows Explorer. Find the Setup file. Right-click and choose Run As Administrator from the menu.
If that doesn’t work, the program is not compatible with Windows Vista, or you may need to tweak the Compatibility settings. But try Run As Administrator first.
