Problems with Windows Vista

Posted: 06-26-2006, 12:51 AM
APart from the inability to install the windows updates which became
available on 22/6/2006 (see other threads re this), I have 2 frustrating
problems.

1. When I try to change some of the windows features (via the burnt disc)
after choosing the various options there is NO RESPONSE.

2. I am using roaming profiles on a networked workgroup. I have set the
home folders for each user to a mapped network folder so it is the same place
on every computer. With this configuration although the system works fine
(after going through some serious setup procedures) whenever I try to install
programs with the 'Documents' folder pointing to the mapped drive, I get an
error message "Invalid Drive" and the install terminates.

Hello Mr. Phil

By any chance is it on a hard drive that is not internal?
