Fix Windows Vista Errors

I have been fiddling around with the new fax sender in Vista and I can say I am rather impressed with this version over the XP one. I had a bit of fun and sent some of my old workmates a few emails from my laptop (although they weren’t too impressed as they were still at work!).

To get started sending a fax in vista you need to;

• Click Start
• Click All Programs
• Click Windows Fax and Scan
• You may need to use the Fax Setup Wizard here if you have not been here before
• Now click Tools
• Click Fax Accounts and click Add
  
• Here you will need to add your details to create a fax account

Now that you have setup a fax account you can start sending a fax, all you need to do is;

• Select New Fax from the top left hand side
• Enter in the recipients details (very similar to sending an email)
• Click Send and you have just sent a fax through Vista

Microsoft will release three updates for Windows Vista this week, in an effort to calm down some of the main complaints directed at the operating system.

To be released over the Windows Update service, the updates impact compatibility, performance, USB core components and other issues.

Specifically, the system compatibility, reliability and stability update extends the battery life for mobile devices and improves stability of network services, among other things.

The first update for this latest release addresses system compatibility, reliability and stability, including the extension of battery life for mobile devices and the stability of Windows PowerShell and wireless network services.

The second patch will deal with USB interaction, particularly when machines wake from sleep or hibernation.

The final update deals with the Windows Media Centre part of the Home Premium and Ultimate versions of Windows Vista, and includes fixes for Xbox 360 intractability.

Virtually every new computer you can buy nowadays comes supplied with a version of Windows Vista, so if anyone really prefers to use Windows XP it can be a nightmare for them.

The process of downgrading a Vista computer to an XP computer is a fairly easy process, but it can take some time due to the fact that every driver installed in a Vista machine is designed for vista only. You will need to find all the missing drivers from your old XP machine and re-install them on your new computer.

But once you have managed downgrade back to XP you will have a new computer that should be lightning fast running XP.
