- Windows Vista >> mystery window need eradication helpThe title in the window is day, date & time but the window is blank except
for the message "navigation to the web page was cancelled" what you can
try - refresh the page ( which doesn't do anything).
The only way I can get rid of it is through task manager but it comes back.
I have bare minimum in my start up(msn messenger, antivirus) and have
cleaned up unused programs.
What would cause this and how do I remove it permanently?

- Windows Vista >> Batch file copyI have short cut to a batch file that copies files from a network server to
the local machine. It works fine on XP, but it won't work on Vista Home.
I've tried right clicking on the short cut and saying "Run as Administrator"
and that doesn't work either. When I open a DOS prompt window and type the
copy command there, I get an "Access Denied" error. So I'm guessing the
batch file is executing properly, it's just failing on all the copy commands.
I CAN manually drag and drop the files from the server to the local machine
- I just want a way to do it automatically through a batch file.
I don't normally use Vista, so I may be missing something fairly basic here.
Sorry, if that's the case.

- Windows Vista >> DreamScene bug reportHi,
Can someone please point out where I can report bugs in Windows
Vista? Here are the details:
1) Install DreamScene
2) Set the desktop background to vid1337.mpg (the default animation
that comes with it)
3) Maximize a window
4) Either click on the "Show Desktop" icon many times fast or keep
WindowsKey+D down
5) The bug is that the background animation flickers. Whenever "Show
Desktop" is invoked the first frame of the animation displays for a
split second before the correct frame is rendered and the animation
resumes where it left off.
6) Expected behavior: the animation should resume where it left off
and not display the first frame
This is reproducible 100% of the time on my machine. It is easier
to spot if you use another video as your background where the
difference between the first frame and other frames are far more
noticeable.

- Windows Vista >> Failure w/ Vista laptop using Remote Desktop Connection To XP compI am trying to configure my laptop to be able to work on an office computer.
I was able to do this with my home desktop without a problem because both of
those computers were using Windows XP.
I have installed the VPN on the Vista laptop & I can connect without a
problem. However, when I lauch Remote Desktop Connection and I log in I get
the following error message:
"The remote desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you want to
connect to. This problem can occur if: 1. The remote comkputere is running
a version of windows that is earlier than Windows Vista. 2. The Remote
computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer."
Does this mean that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a Vista computer to do a remote
connection to an XP Computer?

- Windows Vista >> Need W Movie Maker Help : Indeo CodecsI've been trying to publish some movies on Windows Movie Maker and when it
starts publishing them the screen goes blank and says Windows Movie Maker Not
Responding. It then closes, restarts the program and a pop up comes up from
the tab and says "Follow these steps to solve problems with Indeo Audio
Software". I click on it and read that there is some problem with Indeo
codecs. I have tried all that they have suggested to solve the problem yet to
no avail. Anyone have any advice?

- Windows Vista >> 64 bit processors.I'm looking to buy a new laptop preinstalled with Vista. Most new machines
I see in stores have Intel or AMD 64 bit processors, however, the OS and of
course all apps are only 32 bit. These laptops also only have 1-2 GB RAM.
Is there really any point in buying a 64 bit machine if all it's running is
32 bit OS and apps? Why would manufacturers even build these units with 64
bit processors?

- Windows Vista >> high cpu usage, youtube videos won't buffer all the way,i have a hp pc with over 2 gigs of memory and had a best buy tech support
check the hardware, which was fine, so they said it is a software problem.
The problems i 've been having are youtube videos or any type of videos that
buffer will only play for 20-35 seconds. Instant messenger will not work, it
will sign off after each message is sent. Any website that requires loading
such as paypal to go to another screen locks up, and the cpu usage is
extremely high. I have reinstalled windows several times from the hard disk
and from the recovery ones I had made at best buy. I have tried contacting
hp cuz my pc is still under warranty but they seem to have forgot about me.
The tech at best buy said to do a "destructive restore" cuz the regular
restore doesn't completely wipe it out. How do i do a destructive or is
there a better solution to the problem thanks for any help

- Windows Vista >> Vista stop error code 124Okay, about 2 months ago I bought a new laptop from dell. everything
worked fine for a while but about 2 weeks ago I started getting weird
blue screen errors after a software update I did, after uninstalling
the software and still having BSOD messages I decided to reformat the
drive.
after reformatting I ran into annoying BSOD error messages that kept
causing the reinstall to fail. I always deleted the partition and
created a new one and after hours talking with tech support I finally
got the OS installed....BUT
Now, the only way I can log in to windows is in safe mode...every time
I try to log in normally somtimes it will make it to the log in screen,
most of the time it doesn't, if it DOES make it to the login screen
sometimes it will actually let me login (VERY RARELY) and even then if
it does let me log in it's only for less than a minute before it
crashes to a BSOD...
I keep getting error code 0x00000124 and it's VERY VERY frustrating,
I've ran every damn diagnostic test on my machine literally at least 5
times and there are no hardware errors. The tech support person at dell
also assured me that if the tests show no errors then the hardware is
fine. so WHY is this happening.....any help would be greatly
appreciated.
**ALSO I forgot to mention however that if the BSOD occurs before it
gets to the login screen it's not a stop error 124 it's a stop error
code that looks like this
STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000005,
0x846E49D0, 0xF2000018, 0x02000E0F)
**
If you need to know any specs about my pc just ask and I can tell you
w/e you need to know.

- Windows Vista >> CDROM Disc DriveI have a Vista Home Premium Inspiron 530 from Dell. My disc drive was working
normally until last week. Now the icon has disappeared off the Computer page,
I don't get a window come up on the monitor when I insert a CD, and I have
been able to find nothing on my hard drive to correct this. Whenever I go
into anything connected with the disc drive it tells me that it doesn't
recognise it and so I can't download a driver.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have had so many problems with Vista
since I got it, and long for my old Windows XP, which never gave me these
problems

- Windows Vista >> Windows Explorer will NOT add tags to JPEGsI am using Vista Home Premium
I used to be able to add meta-data in the way of "tags" to jpeg files. But
now, Windows Explorer cannot seem to get the job done. It will let me go
through the process, but when it comes time to Save my changes, I get "Error
# 0x88982F50 No error description available".
Microsoft Photo Gallery will accept new/change tags on jpegs, but those
changes do NOT show up in Windows Explorer.
In what may be a related problem, Microsoft Photo Gallery will allow me to
edit photos (crop for size, adjust color, contrast, etc.), but is unable to
then Save the file.
Any help, info, tips are gratefully accepted.

- Windows Vista >> Unable to map network drives.We have a mixed environment on a flat network. 18 Linux Servers, 22 Windows
servers an AS400. We are not running Domain Services only workgroups. I have
250 Windows PC's running varoius versions some Running Windows 95, some
Windows 98. Most however have been upgraded to Windows XP. All are connecting
to network shares with no issues. I have a Vista Business Machine that will
not connect to Windows network shares nor Samba Shares no matter what I try.
It is a member of the same workgroup as the rest, I have removed all security
software, turned off Windows Firewall, Set Local security policy Network
Security Lan Manager Authentication level to Send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2
session security if negotiated, NETBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Not sure why
this machine won't map out. Any relevant suggestions??

- Windows Vista >> Using Japanese IMEHey,
I'm using Home Premium and I wanted to change the language imput method
to Japanese. I've been to the keyboard and Languages section and added
the Japanese keyboard layout, but when I select that layout and start
typing, it still outputs in English.
I understand you can't install additional IME's onto this edition of
Vista, but I shouldn't need to do that unless I wanted to change the
whole language of the OS to Japanese - I simply want to type in
Japanese output (preferably with the choice between Hiragana and
Katakana). Is this possible with an English version of the OS or am I
wrong about the additional languages thing?
Thanks!
