I prefer to let Windows 7 handle the defragmentation in background: Windows 7 Defragmentation.

Hey, all. Can you define what is slow in terms of speed ranges. I have a 54 Mbps router and the speed I get for transferring shared files from desktop to laptop is around 1 - 1.5 MB per second. Which is sufficient for me for network speeds. If I use an NAS, if I can get that speed, that would be sufficient. Are NAS's slower than that? If the NAS has dual interface, like USB also, then I can just use the USB interface for faster speeds from desktop. But from laptop, the low speeds are fine.

Hello, I have a samsung SH-S183L lightscribe burner that still works. It burns CDs and DVDs okay but it's been a while since I've used the lightscribe function. Well, today is the first time I was trying print a lightscribe DVD after having intalled Windows 7 RC but I keep getting an error "A communication error occurs while reading the lightscribe ..... you may need to restart your computer." I'm using surething cd/dvd labeler. Well, I restarted and no go. I downloaded the latest lightscribe software that is Windows 7 compatible and still no go. I updated my drives firmware to the latest and still no go. I downloaded the lightscribe diagnostic utility and ran it. It detects my lightscribe drive but not the media. I've tried putting the media in right-side up and upside down and yet still not detected. I've never had an issue with the Verbatim media before without a problem; it's still the same box. I put another one in (blank one) and still not detected. I think it's the driver problem or something. Anyone have any idea regarding this issue?

Humm, I question the final build number. Vista build number was 16386. If you can produce an MS reference with that build number, I'd believe it.

My sister booked an internation flight for my parents through CheapTickets.com. I've never booked an international flight before and was wondering if anyone else has done so and it a good idea?? If so, where did you fly to. I just worry because there is no paper ticket. Site says to take the confirmation printout to the airport. Your thoughts.

It's real easy to blame an "incident" as a cause for a drug addiction. In the end, we are responsible for the decisions we make. If after the recovery, Jackson continued to use pills, he is responsible for his own fate.

best uninstaller? try a virtual machine instead and test software in there so you don't have to uninstall.

what do you mean? you can make it any size and ignore the rest of the cells present.

the copy of office that gets sold with a laptop only belongs to that laptop as far as i know, so you cannot transfer the software to your laptop. trying to do so may be a violation of the eula.

If you've already tried XP's explorer, why don't you also try Vista's explorer and let us know if it works? And just cause I'm curious, what do you not like about 7's explorer that you like about Vista's?

Okay, this is in safe mode with all addon disabled. The problem is in firefox's own site for addons. see below.

It's says independently.

humm, that's strange. i'm using ad-blocker, no-script, xmarks, and a bunch of others i can't remember. however, at work i got some garbled lines like that even though i wasn't running no-script. it has to be an extension; i'll have to figure out which one. but as far as i know, i'm not running an extension that has effects on the rendering!!

the user who made the codec is hosting them elsewhere. the codecs do not harm the system at all; the reason we can't host there here is for legal reasons because he may be using files in his codec pack that might be copyrighted by companies. you could use those codec as long as you want but be forwarned of any legalities, if any. there are other codec pack out there. i particularly don't like the vista codec pack even though the author claims they are much better. there's k-lite and combine community codec pack if you want alternate. if you want to stick with his, search for vista codec pack and you should find updated versions.

vista detects the files shared by the homegroup (not as a "homegroup" per say as in win 7 but as a media streaming device). homegroups adds a layer of security as far as i can see with one password that allows access to those files and printer. no other computer can access this group with that password. however, only your music, documents, videos, and picture can be shared. other folders cannot be shared. to share other folders, you need to disable the homegroup password security and enable user accounts and password.

I think there's a problem with firefox rendering in version 3.5. It could be bad coding by comodo but go to http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html and view in IE and in firefox. What I see is below:

Windows Live Mail now has a calendar. It's the improved mail client from what is included in vista. Try it: http://download.live.com/wlmail

well try not disabling homegroups but change the advanced options to use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers rather than allowing homegroups to manage connections. that was the problem for me for shared folders (not admin shares); but that may work.

There are two kinds of people, those who really know their medications and dosages and those who do not. Scary I take this little pink one at night, 1/2 of this big pale yellow one in the morning, and this white oval one when I feel it coming on!

interesting conversation there!! i can't understand a word of it!! haha.

what are you trying to do? when do you see this error? does it occur every time you try to do X? please be more specific?

also make sure you are running in elevated command prompt or administrative command prompt as diskpart requires to be run with admin privileges.

Do you have only Norton Antivirus or do you have the internet security as well (with the firewall). If you disable the firewall, it could have locked down some of the apps from running. Instead of opening word by double-clicking on a word file, does word open when you click on it's shortcut? Have you tried navigating to the office folder and double clicking on winword.exe to see if it opens that way?

I haven't used True Launch Bar in months. I quit after Windows 7 allowed pinning programs to taskbar. Let me know if it still works as smoothly as it used to. I don't hate you for your wallpaper. Just seems counterintuitive to support apple (if not the company, the logo), but use windows 7, then complain about windows 7 gui.
