'Windows Live' (Hotmail) is not 'Windows Mail' My Vista, Windows Mail ... the list of folders on the left margin is turned on and off by one of the blue bar icons 'folder list'. Inbox Outbox Sent Items Deleted Items etc... That same bar has an icon for 'Contacts' that opens a seperate window. both the folder list, and the Contacts icons are added by right clicking the bar and selecting customize...

Using the good computer you can go to Kaspersky and download their Rescue disc software. This is 197 megs of data. Then burn it to a CD as an .iso. Start the older computer, enter the BIOS and reset the boot order to have the CD/DVD as the first choice. Save and exit. Insert the CD, restart and follow the prompts. This will start the program and you will be prompted to allow the computer to connect to the Kaspersky site to obtain the latest definitions and then scan for and remove the bad guys.

Repeat from another thread-- Did I get a scare when I went on my computer. I got all set and turned on my computer as usual. I can't remember if the welcome screen came but I ended up with a black screen with a dialog box saying: C\windows\system 32\config\systemprofile\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on the computer or on a network. Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted or that you are connected to the Internet or your network and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information may have been moved to a different location Then the message disappeared when I clicked OK and a black desktop with white blank pages in place of the icons were there and the start button with a few of the system tray items. I didn't have the option to shut down (that I remember) so pressed the power button and it blinked so I hit it again or I did the Ctrl, Alt, Delete and the computer booted up with the welcome screen and came up normal. WHEW! That is all I need? What do you think that was all about? Could it have been caused by the updates I did yesterday before I shut down? Windows 7 64bit

Does this mean you cannot move your mouse pointer to the icon in order to click on it?....or..... Does this mean that you can click on an icon but nothing happens?
