Ok so I have a new vista OS and I absolutely love it but.... 1. Net send disabled??? I think I found a solution but it contradicts with prob #2 2. The security updates. You know, when the whole screen goes a light grey except that one window that has allow or cancel. I press allow and the window goes away but the whole screen stays that light grey color and I can't click anything. The only thing I have found that lets me get out of the grey screen is CTRL+ALT+DEL. But even then it seems to cancel the setting I put when it started. This poses a problem in that I can't install anything new because every time you install anything on vista that box pops up. Any solutions? 3. I'm getting a [b][i][u]TON[/u][/i][/b] of "access denied" errors. I [b][i][u]HATE[/u][/i][/b] access denied errors. Any suggestions? 4. Whenever I try to do anything with net send, it says messenger service is not started. would you like to start it [Y/N]. I say Y and it says it can't because it's disable or because there are no devices associated with it. I'm pretty <insert swear word here> sure that it isn't disabled so i would say that it doesn't have a device associated with it. There is only one problem with this. I have no <insert other swear word here> idea what that means.

I up graded from win98 2 a vista. the vista is actually slower then the 98. it sucks!!! :flamer: i feel like smashing it. The problem ithing iz th@ computers cant handle the vista program. so if u buy a vista, well, just don't. if u already have 1, downgrade 2 XP. Oh! and hardly any of the games or utilities such as printers, scaners, etc... will work with it. p.s: i bought a tower. not the vista disk. this iz funny! check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno

Idiots who criticise Vista. 1) Disable UAC 2) Disable automated updates If your hardware isn't compatible yet, do not upgrade. Everything I own worked out of the box with Vista, no drivers required. Stop shifting the blame off your stupidity.

Ok the security alert prob fixed itself, but I still need a good net send tutorial. I've googled it but I still can't find one that actually makes sense.

Wtf did you upgrade from a 98 for? Garenteed you only have 128 ~ 256 ram (Hopefully DDR)
