Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium and Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic use a feature called Shadow Storage to keep track of every file that changes, by keeping the older version.

However, Microsoft has removed the "Restore Previous Versions" feature from these two versions of Vista.

The result is that Vista still fills up the Shadow Storage, but you cannot do anything with it.

the internet explorer is opening without address and menu bar.. i tried to uninstall, and installed it again but the problem wasnt solved...

Windows Vista often shows the following problems with folder types and views:

• Vista tries to determine folder types automatically from their content. However, when the content changes, the folder type is not changed as well.
• Vista falsely recognizes documents and executable files as music files and thus sets the wrong folder view.
• This is even worse for the system drive root folder and some special folders, such as Windows and system32, because users cannot customize these.
• New folders are assigned an undesirable type.

Can somebody help me, windows keeps shutting down on me when am online, is this a hacker problem or is it something else?
Thanks for your help.

As of a few months ago, when I click *save in* to choose destination folder, there is no response for about 15 seconds. I have run Ashamooo, a cleaner and fixer that has solved many problems in the past, but it won't solve this one.
Any ideas? Thank you,

I have a 200 GB Maxtor Harddrive running Win2K. The mother board crashed so I took this drive and installed it as a slave in my WinXp machine. Upon bootup, scandisk ran and it said it was deleting orphan files. It deleted all it could delete and the system boot up. I see the 200 GB slave drive but no files,just one big 98 GB partition and a bunch of FileXX.chk

I went to Microsoft help website, based on their recommendations I've tried to do a repair and that did not work, created a new folder called WINTEMP, loaded all the setup files and that did not work either.

Upgrading to Adobe 8.1.1 -have to delete old program. Get error message "1714 older version cannot be removed". I've tried Win site-no help, Adobe site-no help (that I can find)So I'm here--HELP, please.

Hi all,
I have a Dell Latitude laptop. I have installed Linux as well as Win XP SP2.
I performed a defragment of disc on XP. After which I rebooted my laptop and lost network connection for some reason.

I use DHCP, and the address I get is 169.254.xx.xx. Ping to 127.0.0.1 fail. Hardware and connection wise everything is ok, since I booted with Linux and I was able to connect to the internet.

When I do ipconfig /renew , it says : unable to contact DHCP server. Request has timed out.

I performed reset of winsock and ip stack on XP. Still problem remains.

I have 2 account (Administrator and Share) in my computer that use Windows XP Pro SP2.

Administrator is Admin account type.
Share is Limited account type.

I try to change Share user from Limited to Admin for some reason. When I restart com.

I want to change Share user from Admin to Limited again. I can't do it because Limited radio button can't select.

I try to login in Administrator user to set it and I can't set too.

Why I can't set it?

When I go into a web site I sometimes get an error warning "non responsive" and I am unable to proceed. The error message gives me the following codes;-

C:\DOCUME~1\JOHNBA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7213.dir00\iexplore.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\JOHNBA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7213.dir00\appcompat.txt

Does this mean my setup is wrong, or am I missing some files?
It doesn't happen every time but is very frustrating whem I am, perhaps, doing a survey and can't get beyond a certain page.

I am not very computer literate but am able to follow well explained steps.
