My husband always turns the computer off when he is done using it, (even if he is not going to use it for a half hour or so) he says it saves on the electrity bill - I say the computer does not use enough electricity to make a difference and that it is hard on the machine?? what do you think?

Where did the boot.ini file go?
Looks like Vista keeps the boot information in a new place and i can not find it.
I can see the line in the advanced system properties, under the start up and recovery site, but there is no option to edit the file from there, neither from the boot tab in msconfig.


I need to edit the file because after installing vista, i lost the option of dual booting, so i can load XP from another partition that i have.
I dont understand why the Vista installer would do something like this with its own "friend" windows XP.
I knew GRUB (linux) was going to be removed and i have also to re install grub to boot into the 3rd partition with linux, but removing XP is stupid.

Ok.. so any experiences there?
Thanks! Happy new year!!!

My DVD drive is Samsung SD-608. When I insert a DVD-R disk into it, it shows the files but when I try to open any file the drive just keeps on trying to read from the drive. Whats wrong?
The DVD is fine. I can read that in other drives.

I know that DVDs are encrypted on the file level, but why can´t I copy the VOB files in Windows? These are (encrypted) files which should be able to be copied to a local disk (encrypted) again. Is this a "feature" of the Windows Explorer? Would it be possible to copy the VOBs using a simple C application?

I had a document up, and it didn't save because I have low disk space, so there was no AutoRecovery I guess. I clicked out of an internet window and then the doc just kind of froze up. I could change the size of the window, but I couldn't scroll up or down or type in the document. I did the whole task manager thing, which showed it as non-repsonsive and now it's only on the bottom bar; I can't open it at all.

Now the window won't come up at all, the only thing it says I can do is close. I NEED to get the info in this doc, how can I get the window up and running again, or at least access the info? Remember, AutoRecovery isn't working.

I want to get videos from my TiVo onto DVD and i'd like to put them onto my laptop which has a DVD burner. I already have video editing software (Pinnacle Studio, which is great), but just need a way to get the video onto my computer. I know Pinnacle makes some devices that do this, but want to make sure there isn't anything better out there.

I may have lots of stuff running everytime I turn on my computer and I think it is slowing my computer down. How do I get into the area where I can turn off some of these unneccesary programs? The cable guy showed me how on the down stairs computer which has a Windows XP, but my computer upstairs has a Windows Professional 2000 and the same steps he showed me did not work on my computer. Simply using Ctl, Alt, Delete is not what Im talking about. Do you think its affecting my virtual memory since I seem to never have enough even though sometimes Im not running any programs except for a few web pages open?
