Or she could...

Start the computer in safe mode. Login as admin. There will be the option to change account passwords or add a new account.

We have three computers at home and all computers requires password to download even a simple "virtual make-over" free trial software. I can't argue with him , again I am not goin there. Please give me some idea on how to debug his passwords etc that's keeping me from enjoying my computer. Thank you so much.

Sorry but the site rules have recently been amended and we cannot provide any assistance with passwords as we cannot verify the situation or the intent.

But, SM 7.1 has not been produced yet. -- this error message can be fixed by selecting "Windows XP Service Pack 2" at compability list of SM's main setup file. but before the main setup starts, an error message "Failure Code: 323-A.

A: Depends on the printer, u need to go to the manufacturers site to see if there are Vista drivers

Q: How to replace Vista with XP?

A: Take out Vista and install XP? Easy.......format and clean install with your retail copy of XP!!

Q: Dameon Tools

A: I'm not sure how much this bit of information will help anyone else but for other information, do not install Daemon Tools 3.47 on Vista, you will restart it and it will blue screen and you'll say some choice words and wish you wouldn't have installed it.


Q: Can Windows Office 2003 run in Vista? Thanks for your input. :-)

A: To answer the question , yes 2003 will run on Vista. Office 2007 is also compatible with Office 2003 file formats too. You might also want to look at this update that would help 2003 users use 2007 file formats.

Q: what work for me!

A: Avast Antivirus - works fine on Vista and it is free.

RoboForm works on Vista OK.

JV16 Power Tools 1.5.2.350 seems to work OK on Vista although I have not used most of the things it offers.

IE Spell works OK with Vista for correcting spelling.

I have been using Speech Recognition in Vista Home Premium and it works as well as any of the other Commercial programs. Gets a little practice but if you are a slow typist it will be a help. I am a fairly fast typist but make a lot of mistakes that have to be corrected. Speech makes it cleaner but I don't know if it saves time. I selectively use it.
