RE: Just upgraded to vista and have several problems

Hi
I just upgraded to Vista about 2 weeks ago and I am having several problems
with it. (1) With UAC on I can't open Itunes. If I turn off UAC then I can
open Itunes with no problem and use my ipod with it. (2) When viewing
videos on youtube or msn I can't hear the audio with UAC on but when I turn
it off I can hear the audio just fine.

I am sure there are other problems that I have not found yet. So my
question is; should I reinstall Vista on my computer and do a hard install?
When I upgraded to vista I ran the HP Upgrade Assistant and then installed
Windows Vista Home Premium Express Upgrade. I am not sure I can do a hard
install with this upgrade but I would try if I could. What do you think?
Is it possible to fix the problems I have without doing a reinstall or
should I reinstall Vista?

Kenneth,

You would probably get far more useful help and advice by posting to a
newsgroup supporting those running Vista rather than one such as this
which supports those still running the legacy operating system "Windows
Millennium" (Win Me).

post a NEW question....Any ideas ?

I've link on the new link it brings up question or comment and neither links
bring up a window... reply works
I am wondering about an error message I'm getting??
"Your current security settings prohibit running activeX controls on
this page"
nothing works at all, if I click on anything on the desktop, this is the
message I get.
for instance my computor, I double click it, the window opens with
nothing in the window and thes error appears.
What do ya think webster?? Am I missing files?? the last time it
worked I ran a spyware software Xspy and it found a high risk something and
when I clicked to remove I then needed to reboot at Xspy request.
Comutor seem to reboot fine, but like I said above thats it... not even
start in the lower left corner responds

Re: Just upgraded to vista and have several problems

First of all, Clay.....ignore Harry cuz he knows d*ck all about fixing
his or any other computer.

Now.....you say this is a WinME question about Active X. Right? Or are
you dual booting with Vista and it is interfering?? You will have to be
a lot more clear about your problem if you want answers.

If it is Vista that is giving you fits, then go to a Vista help group.
If it is WinME, then explain yourself better. What are you using for a
browser, for instance?? IE or Firefox or another one. That is where
you set the Active X allowances. As I don't use IE7 more than once a
week, I will leave this to the MS MVP's. I use Firefox myself.

And wait until morning when the UK guys are on here. It is almost 5 am
there at the moment.

They will fix you up.......Heather

And Harry.....don't mess around trying to be a smart ass or thinking you
can fix someone's problem. You can't!! You have messed your own
computer up more times than any of us care to remember. And have given
bad advice to newbies on here. SMACK!!

Someone needs to fix you up!
You don't know the least about my computer knowledge, so don't question it.
I haven't done anything to mess around at this point and don't intend to do
so.
When I finally got my own computer to work the way it does now, it was done
totally on my own, including hardware and software.
You definitely need to learn to mind your own business. <H>.

Re: Just upgraded to vista and have several problems

Clay,
You should try and start a new thread.
If you can enter a reply, you ought to be able to start and send your own
message.
The answer to your question will be simple as it seems.

Harry.
