Problem/solution:

My office recently installed Vista and the new Microsoft Powerpoint software on my PC. None of my Open Type Files(OTF) work anymore from within Powerpoint. All the letters are squashed into one blob! This only happens in Powerpoint. Adobe software is just fine. Has anyone else run across this? Any solutions?

 

Thanks,

Problem/solution:

When I boot up Vista, it seems to be stuck on a loop. I have let it go through scan disk, I have tried skipping it..It gets to the spot where it says upgrading stage 3 of 3, do not shut down computer..then it shuts itself down and starts all over again. I cannot seem to get pass this at all. Is this a normal problem? If so how do I fix it?

Problem/solution:

Every time I get an update to Vista the system runs slower.  Performance also seems to degrade over the course of the day.

The biggest issue seems to be with doing "simple" system tasks like opening a new application.  It takes too long (1 to 5 minutes), this is unconscionable.

I had heard a lot of negative publicity about Vista when I got my system 2 1/2 years ago but was quite satisfied with it.  However, since the it has steadily degraded to the point of being almost useless.

 

Please provide help.

Some of my files have been renamed with random jibberish. I have no idea how this happened. Here's an example: Paint  is now  "te;savings;savins;standard;12 hour;12-hour;24 hour;24-hour;clock;date;date-time;day;dd;display;format;for" When I try to rename any files that are like this, they do not rename. I click enter but they just go back to the jibberish again. Also the box that pops up when I insert a blank CD is all in Japanese. HELP PLEASE.

Problem/solution:

I have a Windows Vista (Home Premium) machine and I started having problems with my web brower not changing pages. I used Thunderbird. Thinking the the brower was hung, I decided to gracefully reboot my PC by selecting Start - restart. A message now displays "Please do not power off or unplug your machine. Installing update 1 of 18 .."

It's been over an hour since the above message has been displayed. I would have expected to see some progress on the update, i.e., update 2 of 18.. etc.

Nothing. The same message is being displayed.

If you have any idea what to do to get out of this, please respond to msbaker@alcatel-lucent.com (my work email address).

 

Thanks!

Problem/solution:

Whenever I try to use an image from my pictures as a wallpaper, I get this same message "The file C:\User\BigDaddyAlex\AppData\Roaming\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\Windows Photo Gallery Wallpaper.jpg could not be written. Please check permissions and try again."

These are my personal photos, and yes, I am using a genuine copy of Windows Vista.

Please help me, because I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista since I switched over from XP which was far superior and less buggy than this. Thank you.

Problem/solution:

I have a epson sx400 printer with a acer aspire x3200 and i have been trying to print something for the last few days. I have followed several instructions including removing the software but the system does not allow me to remove it and just freezes. All other aspects of the computer are fine and I have even rang epson and tried to download the driver from their website with them on the line and we would not resolve the problem. I am at my wits ends as the company i bought it from are not helpful either. If anyone could help i would be very grateful.

New computer with Vista. Sign in info not being remembered on Yahoo at start-up - have to sign in each time. Other passwords - Amazon - etc., are also not being remembered.  "Remember passwords for sites" is checked on Mozilla Foxfire options.

2) Have been told - by Intuit - that (x86) is the Vista default location for all programs, e.g., Quicken. He said that any program saved as an (x86) file will not function properly. Is this true?  How do we fix it if it is true?

Problem/solution:

Problem: My laptop is not saving the settings for my wireless connection. Every time the machine is powered up, I have to change the driver setting from 802.11a to 802.11b/g. The connection then operates correctly until the machine is powered off. I updated to the latest Intel driver for the 3945ABG Network Adapter. The system booted and connected to the wireless network but then reverted to the wrong setting after about a minute or two. I then installed the VAIO Wireless Switch Setting Utility on the advice of VAIO tech support and experienced the same behavior: The system connected upon reboot but lost the connection after a minute or two. Changing the driver setting to 802.11b/g caused the connection to be reestablished.

Problem/solution:

I think my computer was installing adobe reader 9 when this happened. Three or so days ago I was only using google maps and messenger when my laptop froze. Didn't think anything of it but after restarting a few times, more so then five I started thinking something was wrong. I cant use it in normal mode or it wont respond.

I did a scan on safe mode but found nothing. I use AVG. I thought it was due to a virus but if so shouldnt it of been picked up? Two of my geek friends thought the same thing and came up with that it is either the operating system problem (being windows vista) or a driver problem.

I know nothing about computers but we also thought it was from installing the program adobe reader 9. I think it that as well since the computer not letting me uninstall it. something about it not being installed right.

Other things I would like to add is in normal mode you can log in and everything will load. Try and do something after or during the loading time it doesnt respond forcing me to restart or get me annoyed enough to just tun the computer off.

Other friends thought it was the fan running to long and heating up but if it was that. my geek friends would have figured it out.

THought it was the battery so I took it out for a bit then put it in trying again. nothing.

I have only had my laptop for three months(?) I think and nothing until now has gone wrong with it. If someone can help that would be great. Brand is Gateway if that helps any...

Problem/solution:

I am having a problem with Windows Vista Movie Maker and hope you can help. I read your tutorial. I spent almost 20 hours making my first movie. I named it and saved it as a project. Each time I made edits, I would resave. I had no problems. I published to a DVD to see how it looked. Then I went back in and made some more edits to the audio timing. I published to a DVD to see how it looked. I went in today to make some more edits and keep getting an error message"Cannot open because this is not a valid Windows Movie Maker file."

I have changed nothing. I tried making a copy and opening. I tried saving the DVD to my hard drive, changing the file extension and opening (like in your turorial).  I can open, but it opens as an entire video. I cannot get it to show as indidual clips on the storyboard or timeline.

Is there any way to decompose the video or get the movie back in the format where I can edit it?

Thank you very much for your time.
