Have been using Vista Home Premium on a new Compaq, since August. Ran into three very irritating problems.
(1) Dragged & Dropped the e-mail icon from the Start window to the desktop, to access e-mail more easily.
(2) The 'sleep' function doesn't work properly.
(3) When typing threads into this forum, Vista erases my entries, apparently from pressing some key on the keyboard, in a random fashion. This is the 2nd time I've tried to enter this thread. Once, I had to retype my thread four times before it could be posted.
For details - on (1) - I click on the e-mail icon on my desktop and then read my e-mail. Occasionally when I leave the e-mail, Vista removes the icon from the desktop and puts it in the recycle bin, where I am forced to restore it.
On (2), if I enter the 'sleep' mode with the START > SHUT DOWN > SLEEP method, the PC goes to sleep, then turns back on a few minutes later, by itself. If I enter the 'sleep' mode from the Compaq keyboard (there is a 'sleep' button there) I can't bring the PC back up at all, not with a mouse button, not with the enter key, not with any key. I am forced to drop power on the PC and bring it up from a cold start.
On (3), have no idea what is going on. With luck I'll be able to post this thread this time.
