Windows Desktop Search returns no results
Not sure whether this is the right group... Windows Desktop Search returns no results for ( for example) scanpst.exe. The Search Companion returns the location almost instantly. WDS has been installed for some months so indexing shouldn't be a problem. Why doesn't WDS find files? Thanks ...

Windows XP Folder Permissions

Quicktime reverting Vista to 16-bit Windows Vista Basic theme
So I think what caused this to happen is from my regretful attempt to get some of the old Myst games working *Myst masterpiece edition + Riven), and this HAD to install the old version of QT that they used (can't remember version number). Now since then, whenever I go to do anything involving quicktime, it set my Vista theme to Vista Basic and as soon as I close it, it reverts back to the Aer...

Since this has only just started and I have already removed some programs from Start-up I am thinking there is a problem. Does anyone have any idea why my full 2.5GB of VM is not used?

Startup
edMy computer is slow to boot on XP Pro - SP2 As I have defragged and clean all discs, I am sure there are too many items loading at Startup.

Help? ...

If I could give you one piece of advice if you are planning to migrate from Windows XP to Vista...........DON'T !!!! I have run all of Microsoft's OS and even a couple of Linux. Never have any caused me as much stress as Vista. I was lucky to actually boot successfully one time out of ten. The PC would lock at various stages even after logging in. And that was after a fresh install with ...

Caps Lock problem
My stepdaughter has a problem on her HP laptop. She thinks she hit a weird key combination that has now done a sort of permanent "caps lock" to ALL her keys, not just the letters. This includes the numbers and symbols, which are all now showing up as opposite of what they normally are (as if she were holding the shift key down all the time). Rebooting doesn't get rid of it. It's happenin...
