Vista being incompatible with our HP printer/it's graphic software.  Thanks

I've been trying to register Comdlg32.ocx on my new system... quite the
exercise in frustration!  For a while, it wouldn't find the file, but I
think I have worked around that problem by giving permissions to all
users, since you can't Run As Admin for an .ocx file.

Too bad this one doesn't support resume from last interrupted download.

How can I change it to All Types, or Documents?

further extension to XP support and is accelerating its Windows 7 OS.)

I have a problem running DOS commands when opening a cmd window. I open the

Is it possible in Vista to customize the power button ( both the one on the
start menu and the one on the pc ) to logoff instead of shutdown or sleep or
hibernate? ( I cannot find the option to customize its action as logoff )

I am running Vista Home Premium & can't get the thing to boot to Windows.
I might get as far as the progress bar running across the bottom of the
screen, but it will inevitably reboot, never getting all the was to the log

In a perfect world, users who want to use Vista would use Vista.  If they
