How to uninstall Windows Vista components
I work everyday with windows vista, but as I did with WinXP, there are some components that comes after installing that I no longer or never used so I used the "Add/Remove programs" option in WinXP to uninstall some of those components. I'd like to do the same on Windows Vista but I did not found the way. I'd like to uninstall/remove some components like Windows Media Center or PhotoGaller...

Cannot start control panel
I just found the control panel cannot be started. Today I noticed the memory monitor showed 94% of my 1.5G memory are occupied which I believe is not correct since I was not running many programs. But after I restart the computer and try to open control panel, a blank explorer window showed up and closed automatically after a while. I tried a few times, but cannot start control panel at ...

Unable to downstream video using Internet Explorer to access Windo
Question I'm running Vista with Windows Media Player 11. When I attempt to downstream video from a website using Internet Explorer to open WMP, I get the page "Internet Explorer is unable to access this website". The only way to view the video is to first download (save) to my desktop. It will then open WMP. This extra step is a wast of time. Does anyone have a fix for this...

Vista cursors
I'm embarrassed to ask this, but I can't find a way to remove a shadowed cursor set in Vista Home Premium. The cursor is driving me crazy. I also wonder how the cursor changed form and added the shadows. It happened while I was on the Internet today, leading me to wonder if that patch for the ANI vulnerability might not be 100% effective. That's probably paranoia, but I would appreciate...

More info on Linux/Ubuntu
Critics argue that since Linux®/Ubuntu is an open-source program, it is unstable and useless for any mission-critical activities. This has been largely proven in recent studies by wholly objective reviewers not paid off by Microsoft in any disclosed way. Besides, some critics also stated that Linux is part of a global communist conspiracy to destroy capitalism by taking over Wall street ...

Autoexec.bat not working at restart
In Vista, I have a SUBST command in the C:\autoexec.bat file to assign a local drive letter. It works OK from the DOS window. But the drive letter assignment is not created after a restart. (I am logged in as the administrator.) This is a brand new Vista box (and my first exposure to Vista). Should the drive assignment work?...

Ok, I know this is question is already out there, but I have tried all the solutions but to no avail. Is there any solution that works and is Microsoft working on a fix? Here is my situation: 1.) I don't see PNG images in Help and Support. Just Red X's 2.) I don't see PNG images in IE7. Just Red X's 3.) My gadgets are also screwy because they must use PNG images as well. What I hav...

The twelve affirmations of the Linux/Ubuntu Anonymous 12-step approach are
The twelve affirmations of the Linux/Ubuntu Anonymous 12-step approach are: Step 1 I acknowledge that I am powerless before the multithreaded, time sharing, virtually systemized, kick ass macrokernel that is GNU/Linux (or insert other oddball OS here). Step 2 I believe that only Bill Gates (or possibly Steve Jobs) can restore my sanity. Step 3 I understand and am willing to pa...

Its New!!
Vista is comparatively new. We must give it a go and try not to constantly compare it with what went before. Microsoft said that it would run lots of maintenance programs in the background. One because people want to get on with other computing tasks while carrying out mundane maintenance, but perhaps more importantly, because MS knew so many people would never carry these tasks out, if ...

Outlook 2007 will not shut down in Vista
Hi, Whenever I click on the "X" in Outlook 2007, or go File/Exit, OUTLOOK.EXE actually stay loaded in the Windows Task Manager. This is annoying as my wife and I share the PST files over a network, on two different computers. It is the only thing that prevents this from working 100%. On my wife's XP Pro computer this is not an issue. I have found on the WWW that I am not alone in hav...
