Hi, Can you access Safe Mode? Repeatedly tap F8 as you boot? If so you can try Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - Double Click on - Driver tab - click UPDATE driver - then Right Click on Device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT. Another method to try to access the desktop (try in both regular Windows and Safe Mode) is to CTRL + ALT + DEL and on Process Tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it - then on Applications Tab - lower right...

Yes I did...It is like when I did security updates on Windows, that the function stopped working. And when it stopped working it stopped working in all emails. Yahoo...Hotmail and Windows Mail. Nothing I do seems to fix this problem. I don't have a " fix" for it, just a " work around ", and I am sure you knew that anyway.

It worked up until a few weeks ago, so it must be Vista Home Premium.  Either way, if it's Home Premium or not, it worked at one time, now it's not.  I've set it up several times to photos slide show and all I get is a black page saying "an error has occurred that's keeping photo slide show from running."  Thanks.

We don't know if you have the exact issue because the original poster never cam back and clarified her situation. At this late date, it is doubtful s/he will be back. It sounds like you accidentally pressed the key that toggles your display to an external monitor. Usually you need to press FN and one of the keys with a picture of a monitor although sometimes there is a different key toggle for presentation mode. Refer to your laptop...

Click continue at the UAC prompt, then from the command line run "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes of course). Once this utility runs to completion, close the command window and reboot. If that fails, please post back with details on ...

Then Control Panel - User Accounts - Manage another account - use this lower your account to user (to lowest level) APPLY/OK  then go back and reset it to Admin APPLY/OK - this helps clear corruption. Do this a few times. Then fix the...

OK, up until recently everything was working fine, I could delete files without the confirmation pop-up, as I selected in the recycle bin properties dialog. But now, every time I delete something the confirmation window pops up. I can open the recycle bin, uncheck the "display delete confirmation dialog" box, hit apply, then OK. But when ever I go to delete a file, the confirmation pops up again...
