I've never had to deal with Parttions before so forgive my ignorance.... I am using Vitsa Home Premium and decided to dual boot with Kubuntu which I absolutely hated. I removed Kubuntu by deleting the partition then restoring the boot manager for Vista. The partition that contained Kubuntu is now empty. I would like to merge the partition back into Vista. How do I do this?

Just lately, and this is a brand new machine, I seem to be getting this everyday, sometimes twice per day. Usually I unplug the modem for a few minutes and it works. Today however, I reverterd to IE and it is working fine. This tells me it is not the internet connection but Firefox. What should the Firewall settings be to allow Firefox as this is one of the suggestions? Otherwise I may as well revert back to IE if the other is going to be doing this all the time. Thanks Steve

Hi there, I have exactly this problem but my mail is affected more for sending mail than receiving. I have a paid Yahoo Plus account as I created the email address years ago when I lived in the States but for some reason, I am pointed to the .co.uk pop and smtp servers. I have been in Spain and Morocco on different ISPs and returned to the UK 4 weeks ago using a friend's Talk Talk broadband account. I began using WLM about 3 months ago. I have never had a problem until the last 2 weeks when I noticed that I wasn't sending mail, then not receiving. WLM would continuously ask me for my username and password and then would just not send mail or anything. After trying to find a solution to the problem via google, I removed the Yahoo account completely from WLM and then re-created it. It worked fine for a couple of days and now, once again, it is just not sending mail at all, giving me the same message above. I have to believe that this is a problem with WLM, but not sure. It is so frustrating as I don't always realise that my email hasn't been sent. Grateful for any advice here, I like WLM in that it manages my hotmail, gmail, and yahoo accounts but this is driving me crazy! TracyCK

I have a ASUS DRW - 2014 L1T DVD-RW installed on a Vista-32 sp1 desktop PC. Recently it has stopped reading or recognising data DVDs (game, data, etc). It does recognise and play movie DVDs or CDs though. Nothing wrong with the failed DVDs as they work fine on different PCs. When I insert a game DVD, I see the green highlight on "my computer" window indicating it is reading the , then either of 3 things happen: 1) nothing happens at all 2) nothing happens and cd tray ejects with a message "insert disc" or 3) windows explorer fails to respond I have downloaded and flashed the manufacturer's latest firmware. Nothing. I had also an issue with a certain Vista update that randomly gives me a blue screen which I will ask in another thread. I don't know whether it's a coincidence or related to this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

Many people and businesses have been upset by how Microsoft deployed Windows Vista and has treated Windows XP since. The strongest form of protest for most of them was simply choosing not to use Windows Vista, such as when Intel decided to skip and wait for Windows 7. That's fair enough, but some have taken it much farther. Microsoft is finding out first hand that some people are considering to make it a legal issue, which seems ridiculous. In Taiwan, Microsoft is facing the Fair Trade Commission due to complaints filed against them regarding Windows Vista. In short, people feel they have been forced to buy Vista, due to Microsoft ceasing sales of Windows XP this year. The Taiwan FTC is now going to probe the company's actions in Taiwan, to see if ceasing Windows XP sales is truly “forcing” people to migrate to Vista. Microsoft could face penalties if that is indeed the finding of the FTC, though nowhere near as high as has been levied on them in other countries for other practices. Even though Microsoft's handling of Vista could have gone better and it is obvious they’d want to strong-arm people into using it, there's truly no "forcing" occurring at any point. Microsoft has proven themselves willing to still divvy out Windows XP licenses (if reluctantly) even today. -
As we approach Vista's second birthday and distance ourselves from the launch of XP further, you might assume that Microsoft would have had enough time to make Vista attractive enough for people to prefer it over XP. DirectX 10 exclusivity, restricting vendors from selling XP, marketing campaigns and so much more, all towards Microsoft's end of making Vista de facto apparently aren't working as fast as they'd hope. According to some recent estimates, by the end of this year Vista will have been deployed in 9% of businesses and still won't reach 1/3 of the market by 2010. On top of that, factoring in downgrade licenses it seems that Windows XP is still outselling Vista. That must hurt Microsoft, especially when very large vendors have mentioned they simply will not deploy Vista, waiting instead forWindows 7. Interestingly, Windows 7 has been in the works for a while and it's been rumored more than once that it will be released next year. That's just speculation, of course, and given the dollar investment Microsoft has poured into Vista I doubt they will just sit on their hands.
