- 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 >> 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 >> 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 >> 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!

- Windows Vista >> Speech Recognition limited to commands...For some reason my Speech Recognition only seems to work with commands, when
i open up wordpad or notepad (or any other program I'm supposed to dictate
in) All I get is "What was that?" from the speech bar. I can control my
computer all da long with commands so I know it is'nt my mic. Also I know
that it is capable of dictation because if I use the How Do I... command, I
can say "How Do I Eat A Pizza", sure enough, on cue the Windows Help and
Support window pops up with Best results for "Eat A Pizza". But it does not
work with any kind of dictation, I've tried enabling "enable dictation
anywhere", I have done about 4 training sessions with it and the tutorials
went smoothly, even the microphone setup told me that Vista hears me fine.
I've tried just about every combination of options I could see as having a
possible effect to no avail. Could anyone help me with this?

- Windows Vista >> DefragmentingIn WinXP the defragmenting procedure was transparent, simple and
straightforward. In Vista it is nothing but. The complete insensitivity of
the designers to the users psychology is appalling. I started defragmenting
5 hours ago. It is just one click of a button. There is a message:
Defragmenting Hard Disks. I wanted to defragment only one disk: C:. Why
disks?
What is it doing now? There is no color bar of WinXP which showed the
progress in a reassuring manner. You could clearly see how much time you had
left. You could do some shopping, etc.
Is there any way the old display could be brought back?
If not, then perhaps I should switch to my WinXP partition and do
defragmenting from there? How about defragmenting Vista C: from WinXP D:
drive? Is it going to work?
thanks.

- Windows Vista >> Frequent Vista problemI have been having a problem with my Windows Vista Home Premium installation
for the past week or so, with the problem getting more frequent day by day.
I usually notice this happen after a period of inactivity, but the duration
of the inactivity is seemingly random.
Basically, I will come back to the computer to see that Firefox or whatever
windows I might have open have stopped responding. I attempt to close with
the X to no avail, then try to close using the Task Bar. When this fails, I
try to open the Task Manager to close the program manually, only to lock up
the computer for 45-60 seconds on a black screen, and then receive the
message "Logon process has failed to create the security options dialog.
Failure - Security Options". Clicking OK on this dialog takes me back to my
now totally unresponsive computer. No windows can be closed by any means,
and the computer must be turned off manually, which I hate doing.
Is there anything that might be broken with Logon Process, or is there any
way I can fix this problem? Vista and I have enough fights as it is, I'd
really like to decrease our argument fodder by one instance, if possible.

- Windows Vista >> Flip functionalityI love the 3D flip feature. I've mapped it to my mouse center button and
it is very handy, but I have one question. Why, when I flip to the
desktop, is the side bar is gone. The only way I can access my sticky
notes is to minimize any open windows. Is there a setting I've missed?
TIA.
