Yeah, the F8 trick doesn't always work with vista for some stupid reason! The other option is the same as in XP: Click start then in either the run prompt or the Vista Search bar type 'msconfig' and press 'enter'.
When the msconfig window appears, click on the 'boot' tab and select 'safe boot'. click 'apply', then 'Ok' and you will be prompted to restart the computer.
When you've finished in safe mode, run msconfig again and, on the 'general' tab, choose 'normal startup', click 'OK' and restart.
If it gives you the choice, make sure you log in as 'administrator' and not just a normal account with admin privileges.

Never mind, thanks anyway.

Is it in another user's desktop or documents folder? If you're logged in as administrator, you'll have to browse to their folder to find the file.

im the only person who uses my laptop. it was in limewire's shared folder, so unless its moved itself if you try deleting 100 times eventually it works!
edit: if i search, it is there but i cant see it! hidden files are shown, any ideas?
edit edit: unbeilevable! when i try to delete it, i get "this file is no longer in this location" !!! so why did the search say it was?!

Vista's search indexing and virtual folder system! Great, isn't it?

I'm really confused now! According to the files properties, the file size is 0 bytes and i am the owner!

There are a number of possibilities. The most common is when a file is downloaded but becomes corrupt right at the very end. Firefox and filesharing apps are buggers for this.
I found the best way is to download exactly the same file again i.e. use the same file name and have windows overwrite the corrupt one.
Then it'll let you delete it. Maybe...

Hi Cyco! Been using and still using an HP Pavillon with A 2.4Ghz process. Last week I bought myself a 2 Ghz Dell inspiron. Installed all programs and apps on my Dell that are on my HP. Basically they are both the same.
The strange thing is the Dell is faster than the higher speed HP. Is this normal? By the way, both processors are intel core duos.
Thanks.

if it's windows, it will become bloated and slower over time

It happens with everything. My mac, since January, I can feel it has slowed down a little.
Might do a format and fresh install of OS X when it hits the 6 month mark, y'know, to keep it all quick
