yes...there is another thread recently posted about this same issue (within the past week?). I'm guessing it's under this section. Take a look there, we threw around some ideas. Hopefully that'll help.

He tried, its an HP that was built for Vista and it had horrible problems with drivers. It was him or someone else on this forum anyway. :confused:

My laptop has VISTA and it has a lot of quirks.

Does anyone else notice your personal settings readjusting a lot?

And IE has been an on again/off again issue (previously discussed).

There are blutooth compatibility issues.

And, the several options for shutting down (sleep, hibernate, stand by, off), aren't really functional - additionally the system will shut down and do an "improper shutdown" on start up on its own???

I give my laptop a lot of leeway. It's pink so figure she's female and temperamental. It's the only way I don't toss it! :lol: j/k

If you are talking about window size, resizing and other goofy stuff like this, yes, there is a fix for it... we have been waiting for MS to release one, but found this. Save the contents of what is in the quote in a .reg file, right click it and select "merge" - or just double-click it and it will toss in in the registry... reboot and you should be fine.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:0000c350

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]
"FolderType"="NotSpecified"

Also, IE7 and VISTA can only download a MAX of 2 items, or 4 in HTTP 1.0 - here is the registry fix for this (do the same as above);

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000010
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000010

If you want to add IE7 icon to the desktop;

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
