Thanks for all the replies people :)

As it happens dad just bought a new PC last night instead. However, I'll get Windows reinstalled on the old one once everything's backed up.

I'll post back...

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I guess I'll just have to give it a go then :) I just wanted to ask the question because from what I found online, it sounds like some people had found that the SP2...

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to help.

This problem relates to my dad's PC.

When he bought the PC it came with a standard sort of recovery CD. This CD has since been misplaced. The PC...

Just to wrap this thread up, I returned the motherboard to Ebuyer who found it to be faulty. I received a new one a few days later, and got the PC back together.

I still got errors after...

Thanks for looking, yeah, my RAM is listed. I specifically bought some RAM that was [a] Corsair and [b] on the qualified vendors list when I replaced the OCZ RAM. I'll post back when Ebuyer have...

Thanks for the reply SuperSparks - I'll do that. Fortunately the company - Ebuyer - won't charge me if they don't find the board to be faulty.

The ironic thing is that I originally had 2x1GB OCZ...

Just an update here - replacing the battery doesn't seem to have changed anything.

I took everything to bits, put it all back together, but it still wasn't booting up right. All I have seen of the...

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a go first thing in the morning and post back.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi, thanks for taking the time to help.

I bought my system in pieces off Ebuyer a couple of weeks ago, and up till now I've been really impressed with it (see below for full detail).


Intel...

Train, SuperSparks, thank you very much for the replies. I have tried most (but not all) of the suggestions on the MS site. Now I know that using the WRT54GC as described can be done, I don't think...

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Sorry if this is quite a simple question but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for by Googling...

I have a new wireless ADSL...

Great, thanks for that. I'll give it a whirl :)

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to help.

For the last 1-2 weeks on my PC at work I have noticed that when typing text in ANY application (Windows, web browsers, MS Office, CAD programs, etc)...

Hi Nick. Sadly that's failed too. I am literally beyond belief as to what MS thought this sort of "security" would achieve! I can only assume this happens to everyone with this BT adapter and Vista...

Thanks Nick - UAC is already disabled though.

I have just tried to install the drivers again with the Windows Installer set to Enable (it was set to Not configured previously) and it still doesn't...

Ah OK, thanks very much Elaine. It's actually home home PC so I'll check as soon as I get home from work, and let you know what happens.

Chris

Hi there - thanks for taking the time to help me out.

I bought a Trust BT-2100p Bluetooth adapter for my PC the other day as it said it was compatible with Vista (unlike a number of adapters on...

Oh right, thanks for the reply! I'm sure other problems will occur which require the Administrator solution. I just assumed that because my user account has Administrator privileges that something...

Hi,

Sorry I'm afraid I could never figure it out, and reinstalled Vista. I was planning to do the reinstallation at some point anyway because I'd just got a new hard drive.

Sorry I couldn't be...

Guys, thank you very much for all the help. The 'take ownership' method has worked a treat, and I've printed instructions off and put it in my 'info needed after a hard drive change' file ;)

Best...

Hi,

Windows Easy Transfer won't work because I've changed my motherboard since installing Windows Vista, and the old XP partition won't recognise it.

Is there some way, maybe using Safe Mode,...

Elaine, thanks for the reply.

When I do that, it just says "H:\Documents and Settings\<username> access is denied"

I tried to give every user/group I could see in the list full permission, but...

Hi there - thanks for taking the time to help me out!

I've been trying all evening to find a way to copy the contents of My Documents from an old and corrupt XP installation on a SATA drive to a...

Yeah I suspected I might have to do that... I'll investigate the permissions thing, as I find it strange I can't overwrite the file 'sidebar.exe'.

Take it easy,

Chris

Hi Nick, thanks for the reply.

I tried to copy sidebar.exe into the folder you specified, but it keeps saying I need to have administrative control to be able to do that. I am the only user on my...
