Sucess! Should anyone be interested this is how I installed the last update sucessfully I downloading the .exe for the update and saved it to my desktop. Then double clicked it. It can be downloaded from Microsoft here: http://tinyurl.com/24tgpe

I got 7 updates for windows vista, one of which (spam filter update) I didn't need. Out of the 6 remaining only one installed sucessfully first time. I then went through them one by one and suceeded in installing all of them except " Important Update for Windows Vista: KB935807". I have tried another 3 times without success. On the little feedback I have found on this it seems others have had the same problem. http://itsvista.com/2007/07/important-upda...vista-kb935807/ At least its not critical

I run windows vista home basic, and I have just tested CCleaner with IE cache. It deleted everything I asked it to delete - no problems. Try logging in as the administrator then running CCleaner again. Btw, I still run version 1.38. 485. I found the version following this kept crashing. You could always try the version I run. They are all available a file hippo.

There are free programs that will allow you to do this. I haven't tried them, but here is a link to one: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html Or you can hack the registry yourself - not something I would want to do. http://www.jfitz.com/tips/rclick_custom.html Have fun

Prehaps not one of the most exciting, but its one of my favourite places. Its the view looking over the Fern houses at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh. The gardens and the Glasshouses are stunning.

Is there a help file for this program? I don't think I'd know where to start. It reminds me of xp-antispy, which also works well, but can get confusing. http://xp-antispy.org/component/option,com...tpage/Itemid,1/

I should add that on some sites now, I have to type the first letter of my log-on name before the name appears on a drop down list, I then select it, and the password follows... Maybe thats where cookies might help for me...

Hi I can't help you directly, but you should check out your start up apps at this web site. http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm It should tell you if the program is absolutely necessary. - type msconfig at the run menu and then go to start up to get the abbreviated name of the application.

I thought it was the "auto complete form history" button that has to be unchecked. I Clear all my cookies everyday and I have never lost my passwords.

Thanks, got that one bookmarked, although I think I'll wait for the final release. Cheers

I tried the "File shredder" that was mentioned, as it was compatable with Vista. There was no shell integration as promised and the help section buttons refused to work at all. There was also no progress bar when deleteing files. I didn't even bother with the wipe free space option - I uninstalled instead. If any other vista user try this, it would be interesting to know whether it was just my machine that was the problem.

I can bearly scrape a 3.0 Mind you for a ?500 PC I didn't really expect anything special. I'm not decrying your PC, but I sometimes think Vista is all about style and not so much substance. If you want all the 3D graphics and addons you'll have to pay top dollar, something which in my eyes doesn't really represent value for money. Of course if you use your top of the range graphics card for something other than windows features then its a different story.. Having said all that, if I had the money I would still opt for the top end machine.

I have windows vista, but don't use its mail program. Sorry. You could try having a look through this page: http://tinyurl.com/27dmzc It has questions and answers related to the the error codes you gave. Hope this helps

If I had any confidence you knew exactly what the bombs were made of, and how they were made, I might believe you. Right now no-one but the police officers in charge knows. We can I think, thank our lucky stars the terrorists seem to be incompentent and really rather stupid when it comes to making bombs and ramming doorways..that and a good deal of luck saved many lives...

So is that your excuse for doing nothing. It will take centuries to undo, so why bother? If man kind has even any sort of responsibilty to this planet, it is to leave the planet is somesort of habitable state for both our children and the rest of the animal kingdom - right now we are doing precious little. God help us we may find out we can do nothing, but lets not sit on our fat, arrogant backsides claiming there is nothing we can do, whilst pumping millions of tons of s**t into the atmosphere... and in the meantime while we debate the subject, the rest of the planet dies around us. To say we are not destroying the Earth we live in, is sticking your head in the sand and not listening to, or believing most of the scientific world. Doing nothing because you might have to pay an few extra dollars to run your 4x4 or your air-con is just plain selfish. There is no excuse for doing nothing.

Gotchya - Thanks. no comment as yet

Please..a history of the subject or at the very least a link to a post indicating who "Emiel" is or has done would help. I have no idea what you are talking about..

It kind of boils down to the "horses for courses" mentality. What works well for one is a disater for another. I use diskeeper and I couldn't relate to any of the problems the blogger was refering to, but I'm not saying they didn't occur. As for the other defrag programs, if they work for you thats fine by me. Software reviews are like film reviews - it is one mans opinions - you have to see the film yourself to make any sort of judgement as to whether its good or bad. I am happy with my lot

I didn't just make the whole subject up... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4078895.stm The subject is well documented. Try doing a google search.

A laptop on any hard surface without ventilation can cause it to get uncomfortably hot - although I have never heard of one shutting down because of it. On the same issue, I have heard all that heat will do nothing for your fertility levels if you are a male. Be careful.

I always understood defragmentation decreases the time it take your system to read a file, therefore making everyday activities such as launching new programs faster. It certainly made a perceptable difference to my old XP and windows 98 machines. I have diskeeper working continously in the background on my vista PC, so I haven't noticed any loss or gain in terms of speed. I will to continue to use a deframention tool.

Excellent site, and not only with Firefox. I believe they accomodate most browsers EXCEPT internet explorer.

I dismantled and ditched the bloody thing about 6 months ago. You are right in everything you say. I have cursed Acer on many other forums, and I will continue to do so.

Oh dear, an Acer... My 18 month old Acer laptop finally met its maker about 6 months ago. The first problem was the CD/DVD drive. It could read DVD's but had problems reading CD's. Eventually it didn't even recognise CD's. Sent the laptop back to Acer with a large list of other problems, and they simply reformated the drive and sent it back...obviously not using the CD drive It lasted another 2 months before breaking down completely. The optical drive was the least of my problems. The rules forbid me to go any further. Needless to say I am still hacked off, and a good deal poorer from the whole experience with this company.
