It was my VOIP phone. It's not compatable<br /> with 64Bit, so that's what was giving me the problems.Once i unplugged the USB<br /> it stopped. text/html 2008-07-22T03:54:51-05:00 Sean Delier http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#541284 This problem has been bugging me for ages too. In fact Vista bugs me sideways, but whatever. I've trawled the interweb looking for a solution and found nothing. <br /> <br /> Anyway, I tried this and it seems to work: shortcut/properties/run as administrator.<br /> <br /> Of course then you have the annoying UAC popup each time you run messenger - but at least it doesn't reinstall every time.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps. text/html 2008-07-22T03:47:45-05:00 Sean Delier http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#541283 text/html 2008-04-06T10:35:49-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#532940 <br /> Yea I checked out the start up procedure when this first happend. I have a VIOP phone<br /> as well, so thought it might had somin to do with that as it works with MSN and needs<br /> to run with that. It seems to be ok now tho? I'll let you know if anything else crops up text/html 2008-04-06T09:50:38-05:00 Jules http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#532939 About the MSN messenger reinstalling on every boot.<br /> Just a thought - <br /> Have you looked in the startup?<br /> Sometimes if you have a previously failed or incomplete installation then the installation instruction will be in the startup. It may still be there even if you have subsequently installed the thing successfully. text/html 2008-04-04T00:57:00-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#532803 <br /> Haha me?!

LOL <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile4.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=";)" title=";)"> Very informative nick, though.<br /> text/html 2008-04-03T16:38:51-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#532773 If anyone has problems with system icons vanishing and you odn't like the<br /> yellow oldskool folders, then, to retreive them back just do this:<br /> <br /> Right Click on the icon, Properties, Location, and restore default.<br /> <br /> That's all you do. It's as simple as that. And yet when I googled about how<br /> to retrieve them, i got useless stupid info, and software that just made things worse<br /> and ended up messing other icons or whatever else. <br /> <br /> I've never tried to fix a missing Icon before, so this was all new to me, and after spending<br /> hours messing about googling and trying freeware, I stumbled upon the restore default<br /> accidently. text/html 2008-04-03T16:30:47-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71188/?l=1#0 <br /> Look, what is it with Microsoft and their own software? It seems to me that MS software<br /> has trouble goin hand in hand with MS Operating Systems? I just wanna say this:<br /> <br /> Vista isn't a bad OS. I actually like it. But it's the little stupid things that really irritate me.<br /> Like for instance MSN Messenger... if i reboot, it reinstalls on start up. Or if I close<br /> MSN then restart it, it installs again. It's things like this that really get on my t**s and<br /> drive me insane. It's almost comical how stupid vista is at times - but not in a funny way.<br /> Or on the otherhand, it's almost comical how Mircrosfts OWN software works in harmony<br /> with Microsofts OS like Laurel &amp; Hardy. <br /> <br /> Another thing, the system Icons like My Music, Desktop top, etc tend to disappear, <br /> or then magically reapper, or sometimes don't even reappear at all. Yea, it's trivial<br /> stuff am writing here, but it's <i>blatant</i> stuff like that that gets noticed. Blatant stuff<br /> that doesn't give good impressions to new users now or in the future.<br /> <br /> Things I have noticed since the installation of SP1 (after a clean format) is that file<br /> transfers to other disks, etc, seem to be a bit more reliable. And erm.. that's about it.<br /> <br /> If anyone's experiencing the MSN problem i mentioned above, please let me know.<br /> Also, I am fully aware that the msn shortcut in Start, Programs shud be a shortcut,<br /> but acts like a bloody installer. For the record, I have uninstalled, and resinstalled<br /> manually, and to no avail, problem still exists.<br /> <br /> Vista by L&amp;H (Laurel&amp; Hardy)<br /> <br /> Tam...
