I can't access them! When I click on Windows Vista Ultimate Extra's on the start menu, it takes me to the Windows Update screen!

I just did a Microsoft Update and it said 5 completed successfully and 3 not needed. And for the status for the last updates installed says it failed.

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum so let me introduce myself, my name is Dean and I'm living in Manchester, UK

I have a problem with a new monitor I've just purchased, it's a 22" Widescreen LCD (Fujitsu Scaleoview L22W-3).

This monitor didn't come with any drivers and after speaking to Fulitsu-Siemens on the phone I'm told it doesn't have any or need any. The native resolution for this monitor is 1680x1050 however when going into the display settings this resolution option is not present. I have the monitor's drivers set to Generic PnP. I have a Geforce 6600GT graphics card which I'm assured is capable of running the resolution.

Various internet related programs have stopped working, including windows update, my virus scanner's auto-update, time synchronisation and live messenger. Messenger gives me error 80048820, but when i try and fix the problem by reregistering the SSL...

I was calculating how much hard drive space I had and found.

Everything under "add and remove programs" except windows update, Roxio and Bluetooth software

Add & remove programs added up to - 1.01GB
Roxio and Bluetooth probably use- 2GB (I'm guessing because windows didn't specify)
Windows update- 4GB (I'm guessing again because windows didn't specify)

Documents- 1.12GB
P2P program- 7.583GB
P2P Downloads in Progress- 17GB (when completed)
Music- 415MB
Pictures- 2MB
Desktop- 202MB
Total=39.72GB

My total Hard drive=80GB

I have been trying to figure this out for DAYS now. I can't seem to do it though... When automatic update runs, or when I try to manually install updates, I get error code 80240016 "Windows is currently installing other updates" I have narrowed...

Hello guys,

I just recently bought a new laptop, which has Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. Like many others, I started to rip music from my CD collections to my new laptop (I rip it using Windows Media Player 11). Couple of days later I finished with my CD ripping, and now my library has around 500 songs in it. I had no problem until around 2-3 days ago. Just before I turned off my laptop, there was a Windows Update. It updates automatically before my laptop turned off. The next time I turn on my laptop, my whole library is gone. The song files are still there (under Administrator/Music), but its not in my library. I can play them on my playlist (click twice on any song), but thats it. I tried adding them again to my library by going to "Add to Library" and choosing the Music folder, but nothing happened. I also bought a new CD and tried to rip it, but Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize the CD (I mean, it sees my album as Unknown Album, even though its Norah Jones' newest album).. I tried "Find Album Info" and it shows all the informations of the album(Songs name, Album Art, etc), but when I click "Finish", it still shows Unknown Album and Track 1, Track 2 and so on.

Vista runs great on my Mac Book Pro 2.16 2GB RAM and default 32GB FAT format and Boot Camp 1.2.

The fans runs a little more than I'd like but otherwise, performance and so forth is excellent.

When Leopard comes out, I'll prolly shop around for a 160GB drive and reinstall Leopard and Vista on 75GB partitions.

Using Boot Camp to partition and then install Vista was so ridiculously easy. It kept begging me to read the instructions and kept clicking ok as fast as I could and lo and behold, the whole thing works.

In a nutshell:

1. Take working Mac and install Boot Camp.
