After 16 hours I discovered that Microsoft's User Access Control was the source of all my Vista problems. Turn it off and everything that was stopping before, like IE, Windows Explorer, Windows Sidebar, Outlook and on and on performed beautifully!!!!
Turn User Account Control on or off
User Account Control (UAC) can help you prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. It works by prompting you for permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings that affect other users.
We don't recommend turning User Account Control off. If you do turn it off, you should turn it back on as soon as possible.
-
Click Turn User Account Control on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
-
Select the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box to turn on UAC, or clear the check box to turn off UAC, and then click OK.
This was after Dell recommended I format my drive, reinstall XP2 then reinstall the Vista upgrade ..... Say What?
