Hello everyone,

I have am HP desktop computer running on Windows Vista Service Pack 2. And, I do not know if my computer was attacked by virus or something. But, whenever I delete files inside my recycle bin, meaning I have deleted all of it and it is empty, it shows that there are still files in there.

I have restarted my machine, then right clicked on the empty recycle bin. Then, checked it once again and there were files still in there. Also, I did a complete system scanning and my anti-virus did not find anything. I do not know what is happening. Please enlighten me.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am currently doing a clean up on my Windows Vista machine. I know my desktop machine is a bit too old, but a friend told me that it would just need some cleaning to make it respond better. I am planning to do clean up first before defragging.

I already started checking my files. Some files are deleted and for some other files that I want to keep eats a lot of space. I want to have it zipped. But I got an issue doing it. After right clicking the folder to be zipped, I cannot see the option for it. I am not seeing Win zip. Even the Send To Compressed (zipped) Folder option is not listed.

I need assistance please.

Techyv readers,

Hi All,

I got a minor issue with my desktop computer. It is running on Vista operating system and is on Service Pack 2. I want to alter my hosts file, so that I can have some of the sites inaccessible as well as to put a stop to some of the advertisements, commercial ads to keep on popping up.

Now, after entering all those sites necessary, while I am saving it, there is a pop up that tells me that I do not have permission to do these changes. In short, my access is denied. But, how come it is, when in fact my login is considered to be administrator as well.

I really need help.

Thanks.

Hey there Techyv readers,

I hope you can help me. I am trying to install one of my new downloaded fonts. I got loads of them because;I will need it in one of my typography projects. Unfortunately, after the installation, I accidentally deleted one of the fonts in the fonts’ folder.

It is very easy to download fonts and install them I know. But the problem is, I do not know exactly what font I have deleted.

Call me clumsy, but that was really an accident.

So, if you have got any ideas in mind on how do I get an unknown name font back, please let me know as every fonts matter to me because of my line of work. By the way, my laptop’s running on Vista.

Please send ways to resolve it related to Vista.

Hello,

My name is Brian and I would like to know, if there is a way for me to remove or immobilize Windows Sidebar.

Well, I know Sidebar is not doing anything on my program or whatever. It does not hinder me from doing something else. However, I do have a little screen as my laptop is just approximately 12 inches. So imagine that I really have a little screen and it is taking much of my desktop.

I cannot seem to see the option to disable it. I would really be glad if someone can direct me with the step by step procedure in doing it in Vista, if it is possible to immobilize it.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I just encountered a problem with one of my computer programs. It says, I need to use the task manager for me to end its process. However, to my surprise, I do not seem to see all the tabs that were previously in there. I know there were six of them. I know there should be Applications, Processes, Services and the likes, but I do not see them.

I tried rebooting my Vista computer, just so the system will be refreshed, but it did not work. When I pull up the task manager, same thing appears. All my task manager’s tabs are gone! How do I get it back?

Help!

Hey there,

Hi All,

I do not know if I am just busy or just sleepy, but I cannot see my recycle bin on the desktop.

Well, I am using a Windows Vista computer. I did not do anything on my computer. No recent changes in configuration of my computer. No recent installed applications. But, I did a clean up on my computer. I deleted several files in my documents. Most of them are Word and Excel documents. Also, I did a clean up on my desktop. I may have deleted it accidentally.

Now, I am having issues seeing or accessing it. I deleted an image which should be discarded and I need to get it back. Please help in restoring my recycle bin.

Thanking you.

Dear Online Techyv People,

I have a Windows Vista operating system. I think this is Service Pack 2. And I got a problem with my Skype for Quick Launch Shortcut. See the screenshot below.

I do not know whether when or how, but I just do not see Skype on my Quick Launch.

I hate going to Start, All Programs, Skype every time. It sounds lazy, but that is the use of shortcuts – To have our accesses easier.

Is there a way for me to get hold of my Skype application faster?

Or, If there are none, how can I get my Skype shortcut in Quick Launch area?

I am hoping for a quick response.
