- Windows Vista >> Vista Business thinks it's a beta copyI bought a PC with Vista Home preinstalled. Needed Vista Business. I had to
format the drive to get it to install. Now, after working fine for 3 months,
when I try to upgrade to Office 2007 Vista stops the installer service and
pops up a message stating that "this is a beta copy that is no longer
supported by Microsoft, please upgrade". Anyone seen this? It's driving me
insane!

- Windows Vista >> Vista x64 Lock up, after clean installHi,
I have just installed Vista x64 Ultimate on the following hardware:
Maxtor 6Y120M0 SATA disk.
Asus M2N32 - SLI Deluxe mboard
Corsair CM2X1024-6400 (DR2 400Mhz) Ram
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+
MSI 8800GT Zilent
I have tried other hardisks, and all combinations of RAM in all slots, but
Vista still locks up after a seemingly random period of time. The lock ups
occur with a fresh install (with no other software installed), and sp1 has no
effect. The starnge thing is XP (both x64 and x32) work perfectly fine.
Where would I be able to get support for this bug (I have Vista x64 Ultimate
OEM).
Cheers

- Windows Vista >> Vista issues !!I was happy when I moved to Vista but could not understand why MS
takes a step back, namely:
1. Why would they remove all the useful buttons from Explorer like,
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. You have Map drive but no DELETE??? which
do you use more often? Yes you can use the keyboard but why take your
hand off the mouse if you dont have to. What happened to Customize
button bar?
2. What the heck is the deal with Organize? You have the same
functions under Edit. Why cant they provide a button to make New
Folder ? That is the most needed feature in Explorer.
3. Why does my laptop simply shuts down without warning, no sound, no
popup nothing. Yes i changed the Low battery notification. Still no
avail.
4. Startup: totally blank screen ! Where is the progress bar?
5. Shutdown: totally blank screen ! Where is the progess bar?
6. What happened to Webcam application. How am I going to test/adjust
my webcam? What if I want to take a picture? In control panel there
is Scanners and Cameras but nothing in it !! These were all right
there in XP...WTF???
I hope all these are fixed in SP1. If not I am going back to good ol
XP !!!

- Windows Vista >> Spooler issuesI can't get a printer added....I always get the spooler needs to be active. I
have gone in and set to automatic. Still can not get printer installed. I
have downloaded the right drivers and the install gets shut down due to
spooler. What next???

- Windows Vista >> System Restore: do restore points persist after a restore?I used System Restore to undo an application install only to find that all
restore points prior to the one I undid have disappeared. All that remains
is an "Undo: Restore Operation" and nothing before that.
Is this the normal or expected behaviour? I would have thought that restore
points prior to the one undone would remain.

- Windows Vista >> What's eating up the hard drive?This question is related to Window Vista system restore. I had used it
several times and after each system restore, I usually go and delete all my
previous restore points. I also go and delete all temp files in the
Window/Temp folder and in application data/local/Temp folder. I then used
system clean up to delete any memory errors and other junk files. Without
turning system restore back on, I notice my disk space is smaller after
around two system restores. Does anyone know what is eating up the hard drive?
It's easy to misunderstood this. Let say I have 2 gig in my hard drive.
Turning sytem restore on reduce my hard drive to 1.7 gig.
I used system restore once and after all the clean up, my hard drive is back
to the original 2 gig.
I use system restore again and perform the same maintenance, except instead
of being back to 2 gig, my hard drive is now 1.9 gig. This gradual reduction
happened after every two system restores. My question is what is eating up
that space?

- Windows Vista >> Vista does not go into the sleep mode after 1 hour.Hello,
For whatever reason Vista does not go into sleep mode when I set the
balanced mode in the power option screen. It does shut off the monitor in 15
min, but it does not go to sleep after the 1 hour, which is the setting. Is
there any way to see what prevents it to do so? It does not go to sleep even
if I do not have any program running (or running only Firefox or IE, for
example). It was not always so, but after some official windows update,
Vista changed behavior. Unfortunately I do not remember which update it was,
it was approximately 3-5 month ago, when it happened.
It does go to sleep mode through the sleep button in start menu.
Any idea what can I do?
Vista Home Premium, Clean install
Some programs installed (games, Nero ultra and other)
E6600, 2GB RAM, 8800GTX, RAID 0 (intel matrix) Asus P5W DH Deluxe mobo,
Creative X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty

Windows Vista >> how do you make vista remember which folder it last downloaded a f
In windows xp, it all ways remembered the last save location for each file I
downloaded, such as a jpg or txt, etc. Vista doesn't do that. I have to

- Windows Vista >> Integrated Webcam problemsI have a laptop HP Pavilion dv6451 with Vista Ultimate and an integrated
webcam. My problem is that the webcam seems to not be released after I finish
a video call, so the next time I try to have a video call I get the message
that "the camera is not plugged in to the computer or it is beeing used in a
video call by another program". As I said, the camera is integrated to the
computer so it is plugged, and I have no other program running. I have tried
uninstalling the web cam drivers and installing them again; I have stopped
and started the device through the Windows Image Acquisition Service to no
use.
Does anyone has this problem? Any help?

- Windows Vista >> Desktop backgroundSomehow we lost the desktop background we had set. Went through the process
of selecting a photo background for the desktop and none of the photos that
came with the windows vista program will apply. Neither will any of our own
photos. The only background that will show up are the plain color settings.
The photos are available in the selection window but they won't apply. How
do we get the photo with the black and white leaf to show up again on the
desktop? Please help.

- Windows Vista >> I cracked the Vista Code! (Christmas special)Merry Christmas! Here's a little story on how I cracked the "Vista Code
'!
During the time after Vista's release I noticed a group of people actually
liked the new Microsoft OS.
The more they used it the more they liked it. Now this was disturbing. As a
person of technology, I saw right away that Vista
had an alarming amount of problems and very low quality. I was a beta tester
long before it was officially released, and the more I used it, the more
disgusted I became with vista.
Normally there should not be not even one person on this planet who would
actually like vista. But there were... and some liked it with fanatism!
There must be a reason why there was a hardcore fan group that ignored all
facts given to them, testimonies by hundreds of people.
Of course they were dumb, but they could not be THAT dumb.
So I started looking for an explanation.... perhaps there was something
about vista that made a group of people like it while others would be immune
to its influence.
Perhaps there was a missing code that was waiting to be cracked!
Then in a flash, an idea came to me!!!
Perhaps there was something in the actual display of vista that was somehow
effecting the user?
Now I did not use a 3d accelerated directX10 compatible card with vista on
my test machine.. so I never had the "aero glass" effect.
But I noticed that almost everyone who was a vista fanatic was using this
aero glass interface!
Perhaps this was a clue to unravel the vista mystery!
What I did was to rig a high resolution beta video tape recorder onto an
aero glass capable machine and recorded the video output..
I then studied the results of the recording frame by frame. As one would
suspect I did not see anything at all. Perhaps my hunch was wrong.
But then I remembered vista has DRM technology. Like some DVD's are able to
detect when a recording device is connected to its output, perhaps Vista
also had this capability, thus it was hiding its true nature???
I had to avoid all electronic devices... so I did the unimaginable.. I found
an old film camera I used for special effects and animations, and I rigged
it
up in front of the vista screen. I set up the machine to record twice as
fast as normally, in film you have 24 frames per second, so I doubled the
speed to 48. If there was something on the vista display I would catch it
this time.
And I DID!!!! After the recording and studying of the film I noticed flashes
of faint letters forming words on the Vista screen! These flashes lasted
only a split of a second, or about 1/50th of a second, but they were there!
The words and phrases all were positive propaganda towards vista!
Vista is good, vista is fantastic etc... other phrases were like this, you
are happy, you feel good.. etc.!!
I knew I found the REASON!!! THAT was why some of the users were totally
brainwashed about vista. Because they WERE being brainwashed!
From my studies in the human mind .. I knew that if you flashed images or
words in front of the eyes of the viewer fast enough, their conscious mind
would not see them, but the unconscious part of their mind would!
Vista has been brainwashing you to like it!
So there you have it, and now you know.....
note: the above story is fictional, dah....

- Windows Vista >> Can't delete registry keyI went to upgrade Nero 8 to the latest update and could not install so I
removed Nero 8 completely. However, there are still some keys that won't
delete in the reg. I tried Nero's Clean Tools but no luck. Updating the
software won't work because I get an error that it can't access a key in the
registry (InCD, which is not and does not install in Vista/Nero 8). I've
tried safe mode as well as 3 registry cleaners with no luck. What's the
secret to deleting these registry keys.
I'm using Vista Ultimate.
