Turn off pop-up windows reminding of Vista incompatible program/dr

1.

Each time I turn on my Vista running computer, a lot of pop-up windows -
from both the status line og desktop - keep telling me of Vista incompatible
programs or drivers.

It's sometimes difficult to close them all and they just pop-up disturbing
the 'normal' work.

Is it any way to turn them off ?

2.

A few days ago I could not submit a web page in Vistas IE7. A dialog box
with a short message: 'Media error' or something like this.

I added the site to the trusted sites, set media protected to off for the
trusted sites but did not help.

I had to start the whole process on my XP computer with IE7 and everything
worked well.

How can I solve this problem ?

(I upgraded myselv the computer to Vista, so I am local administrator on the
machine).



Thanks a lot in advance for all answers that can help me solving the two
issues.

You need to fix the problem, not turn off the warning box. Since you
didn't tell us what the warning boxes *say*, we can't help you. Post
back with the exact text of the popups so we can tell you how to fix the
problems.

"Submit a web page" where and with what? What are you trying to do? Post
back with the exact text of the error message and more details so we can
help you.
