Sounds to me like your only here to bash windows. We offered suggestions on what you can do, both to fix your issue with Vista and solve your issue with using windows in general. If your only hear to complain I am sure there are other forums out there to use, if not then we will be glad to help solve your issue.

No, I am here to try to fix my 9 month old Vista Ultimate laptop.

I have downloaded and purchased both RegCure and Registry Mechanic, run scans with them and repaired hundreds of errors. I have also tried every single "solution" available on the internet, here and elsewhere, and I continue to get the same result over and over:

If I try to name a new folder or rename an existing folder, I get "The file or folder does not exist."

FWIW, I CAN rename FILES, just not FOLDERS. This is the most annoying problem I have ever had with any computer I have used dating back to the 1980's.

If I cannot fix it this week, I am going back to XP Pro, which I have been running with very few issues on my Intel Mac desktop with Parallels for Mac.
