AskWoody LoungerThanks for catching that Hans.
I’m lazy sometimes. -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerDo you have Vista Home Basic?
If so, Aero is not included in there.
If not, make sure that your computer has at least:
1 gigahertz processor
1 gig of RAM
128 MB of Video RAM.
If those do not help, then I’m stumped. -

AskWoody LoungerI would like to add to your second recent post in this topic, DocWatson.
Not only does it affect system settings, it affects programs that were installed after the restore point.
If you like a program, and it got removed due to System Restore, you will have to re install them. Do not install the program that caused the mess though. -

AskWoody LoungerThis problem occurs when you ignored the updates for several days.
It should go away when you installed the updates. -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerThanks Leif, I’ll try that solution out and see if it works.
Thanks to all anyway. -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerThis has been here for 3 days!
I need a response ASAP! -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerI think he should only restart when the system is very slooooooooowwwww.
Not just when a program freezes up.
A possible solution is Task Manager. Even though i’m on XP, this will also work for Vista.
He would have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then do what my picture that I provided says. -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerCan’t help you with this.
I don’t speak that language.
Some translation would be nice.
BTW, I speak English so that you know what language to translate. -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerAnd folder settings so Windows will remember those settings.
P.S. I used SnagIt 8 for the balloons. -
WSccs
AskWoody LoungerFirst of all, change the view settings.
This picture will show how.
Second post (cause you can’t put in another picture), will show you how Windows will remember these settings. -

AskWoody LoungerHere is a tip:
If you have a shield in the bottom-right corner of your icon, the program is UAC enabled.
If it does not have a shield in the bottom-right corner, it is not UAC enabled.
