- Windows Vista >> Vista not rendering 3D...I recently upgraded to Vista. I formatted my hard drive and did a clean
install. After installing current drivers for my video card and nforce4
board I installed World of Warcraft. Whe I tried to load it I got this:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n273/wrobes21/pic040208_2.jpg
Sorry for the poor quality. My phone is garbage and screen was hard to see.
Imagine that tiled across a 22" display (without the red spot of course).
So it doesn't work. Ok, I try to exit out of the game and my desktop now
looks like this:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n273/wrobes21/pic040208_3.jpg
I can do nothing so I reboot.
I went to the WoW forums to see if they could help and a tech said that
something is stopping my computer from rendering 3D. He said to reinstall
video and directx drivers. So I did and it didn't help. He then said that it
could be a hardware issue. I told him that before I upgraded everything ran
fine. I played games without any issues. I'm sure if I went back to XP right
now I'd would have no problems. Could it still be a hardware issue if 3D
works on one OS and not another?
Any help would be appreciated. I'll be more than willing to provide any
information needed. Thank you.

- Windows Vista >> Any way to zap that annoying VGA icon?Summary: How do I get rid of that very annoying VGA icon at startup which
covers everything below, can't be moved, and seems to stay there "forever"?
Reference: 9/25/2007 2:34 AM PST posting by "Retired Bill" titled "VGA plug
connector icon displays every bootup"
"Cal Bear '66" said: "My monitor also displays the connection (DVI) when I
boot up, or wakeup the monitor, but it disappears very quickly and there is
also no option to turn it off. Perhaps there might be some option to shorten
the length of time it is on
screen, otherwise there is possibly nothing you can do about it and it does
not
interfere with performance in any way. Another idea is to see if the monitor
has a setting that only allows the VGA connection to be used so that it will
not
search connections for a signal. Vista itself has no options or controls for
this behavior. "
I'm not sure what he meant by "disappears very quickly" but mine stays up
there 45 seconds, possibly longer which seems like 5 minutes when you are
trying to see the things underneath it. Also, regarding "it does not
interfere with performance in any way", it does lengthen my startup time by a
minute since I can not do anything until I can see what's under this icon
which is very large (.75" x 2.5") and cannot be moved.
Did someone figure out how to use "some option to shorten the length of time
it is on the screen" or how "to see if the monitor has a setting that only
allows the VGA connection to be used so that it will not search connections
for a signal [whatever that means]"?
Also it seems like it comes up multiple times. "Dwarf" explained that was
because the screen resolution was being changed, somehow causing it to appear
again. He also said: "You may be able to turn it off through the menu
options on the monitor"
Did someone figure out how to do this?
I have a new 22" flatscreen Gateway monitor with a new Gateway desktop
computer and strangely I don't remember this appearing when I first got and
used my system. Perhaps I am noticing it more because I am using the Vista
"sleep" and "hibernate" options more when I leave the computer and this icon
appears when I restart again. It just seems to come up all the time and is
slowly driving me crazy!!!!
Did anyone find out how to get rid of it entirely, shorten its duration,
make it appear only once, not multiple times, move it, or in any other way
make it less annoying?
Thanks for any help you can give.

- Windows Vista >> Sound but no picture?Ive just brought a laptop with Vista on.
When i brought it, it already had Windows Media Center and CyberLink
PowerDVD installed on it, and both were working fine. Over the past couple of
days ive installed Quicktime 7 and i also installed a codec pack because i
was having trouble playing videos that i had put onto my laptop from my phone.
I now cant watch a DVD in either program, im getting the sound but the
screen is blank ( black). Ive tried uninstalling Quicktime and ive also done
a system restore but nothing has worked.
Has anyone got any ideas why this is happening or what ive done?

- Windows Vista >> Live links in Windows MailI am unable to access internet live links from Windows Mail.
When I try, I get -
'Internet Explorer has stopped working' 'a problem caused the program to
stop working correctly'
'Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available',
which of course it does not!
The same applies if I click Start / Help and Support - I am unable to access
any of the live
links under 'Ask Someone'.
I have posed this question in microsoft/public/windows/vista/mail but they
are unable to help.
I am trying to find a solution without having to pay Microsoft £40+.
Any light that can be thrown on this matter would be much appreciated.

- Windows Vista >> Sigma Tel Audio Driver update for sp1I called microsoft yesterday asking what will be done via this problem for
those who cannot get updated drivers for the Sigma Tel audio driver. The
problem is Sigma no longer makes audio drivers and passed it off to another
company who told me they are not making updated drivers at all for this type
of audio codec.
So how do you get updated drivers if you cannot? I have been on many forums
via Dell and Gateway and thousand of customers have the same problem.
First microsoft was giving advise to uninstall the driver and allow Vista to
find its own drivers for this.
Many did this and found they still had no sound.
Microsoft also said to uninstall drivers, put sp1 on and then reput back the
driver for sigman tel.
Many who did this found after the sp1 install, when trying to put back the
driver, Vista now came back with an error msg saying "This driver is not
compatable for Vista"
so they wound up again with no sound.
Well after talking to the tech and he confirmed that this is what was being
said- now when people call in they are telling them not do do anything and
wait because microsoft is working on a solution to this.
They say it will show up in Windows Update either a patch or fix for this
problem.
I received this morning an email from microsoft that I am passing in here,
some of the info like email or confirmation number has been taken out just
for security.
see below
this will confirm what microsoft told me, I received an email today
This is Smitha Nair with Microsoft Windows Technical Support.
I am following up regarding your Windows service request . Here is an
outline of the steps that we agreed upon during our call:
Problem Description:
Needs information on installing service pack 1 on a computer with sigmatel
audio drivers.
Troubleshooting Performed:
We did not perform any troubleshooting onthe computer.
Action Plan:
Kindly wait for further updates from microsoft which addresses the sigma
audio driver compatibilty issues with service pack1.
My goal is to ensure that your experience with Microsoft Windows Technical
Support leaves you pleased with our products and services.
If you have any feedback regarding Microsoft support, we would be glad to
hear from you. If you would feel more comfortable speaking with someone
else regarding my service, Sumit , my manager, would be very happy to hear
your comments and suggestions.

- Windows Vista >> upgrading CPUI am thinking of upgrading my CPU to a higher speed. Right now I have a slow
Core Duo and the motherboard supports a much faster one. If all else remains
the same (motherboard, memory,etc) do I need to reinstall and if this is
necessary could I just do a repair install Vista as I could with XP?
Thanks

- Windows Vista >> convert older binary *.reg to Vista *.reg?I'm trying to install a pre-Vista version of an app on this new Vista
machine. I keep getting re-asked for the serial. Here is why:
Upon first entering the serial, the app starts correctly and also writes
a binary *.reg file. All is well until I close the app. On restarting
the app, it wants the serial again. What it *should* have done is use
the *.reg to create registry entries, and then I wouldn't have to keep
re-registering. But Vista doesn't like that *.reg file. (I know, because
when I use regedit to try to import the *.reg, regedit will instead
tell me that it's not a valid *.reg file.) The wrinkle is that the app
accepts the registration as valid, deletes the *.reg file, but then
fails to make the corresponding registry entries.
So, does anybody know of a way to convert an older style binary reg file
to one (either script or binary) that Vista will understand? Thanks.
All works well on XP, no problem there.

- Windows Vista >> Is there really a Santa?IS THERE A SANTA?
Well, let's approach this scientifically.
1. No known species of reindeer can fly. But there ARE 300,000
species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these
are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer.
2. There are 2 billion children (under 18) in the world. But since
Santa doesn't appear to handle Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish children,
that reduces the workload to 15% of the total -- 378 million or so. At an
average rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One
presumes there's at least one good child in each.
3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to time
zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west. This
works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian
household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop
out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the
remaining gifts under the tree, eat the snacks, get back up the chimney, get
back in the sleigh, and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of
these 91.8 million homes are distributed evenly (which we know to be false
but for the sake of these calculations we will accept) we are now talking
about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75 1/2 million miles, not
counting bathroom stops.
This means that Santa`s sleigh is traveling at 650 miles per second,
3000 times the speed of sound. For comparison, the fastest man made vehicle,
the Ulysses space probe moves at a pokey 27.4 MPS; the average reindeer runs
at 15 MPH.
4. The sleighs payload adds another interesting element. Assuming
that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (2 pounds),
the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons not counting Santa, who is invariably
described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more
than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point one) could
pull TEN TIMES the usual amount, we can not do the job with 8 or even 9. We
would need 214,000 reindeer. This increases the weight, not even counting
the sleigh, to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison this is 4 times the
weight of the Queen Elizabeth 2.
5. 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous
air resistance. This will heat the reindeer in the same manner as a
spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer
will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short,
they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the next pair of
reindeer, and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire team
will be vaporized within 4.26 thousands of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will
be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times the force of gravity. A
300 pound Santa would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015
pounds of force.
6. Conclusion: There was a Santa, but he's dead now.

Windows Vista >> History and address bar
Those website you visit on a particular day 'will' still show regardless of
whether you set history to zero or turn off auto complete. The method I use
is the third party freeware application CCleaner www.ccleaner.com I use it
at the end of my session to clear everything - cookies, history, temp
internet files etc. From the options section you can also set it to clean at
startup but, obviously, this will increase your PC's boot up time.
I've always found CCleaner an excellent application. The only downside is
that it also clears passwords and bank details (well cookies, anyway). That
doesn't bother me, but I believe there is a way of saving various website
cookies to prevent you losing any bank details, if you so require. CCleaner
also deletes the .DAT files from history, cookies, temp internet files, etc
which is ideal for the security conscious because people in the know can't
access the DAT files to find out where you have been on the web:-)

You can configure CCleaner to not nuke cookies you want saved.

Wayne, he has already disabled AutoComplete. Even with AutoComplete disabled
the web history will still be visible. There used to be a problem with
Windows XP too whereby, if you set the history to zero days the current
day's web browsing was still visible. As both my AutoComplete and History
are disabled (well the history is set to zero days) even my daily web
excursions are still available for anyone to see. My only remedy is, as I
said in my earlier post, CCleaner.

John - You're right. On rereading, I see autocomplete is off.
But the dropdown menu appears to be the OPs main concern. I have my settings
correct and my dropdown doesn't funtion, although history still shows, at
least for the current day. They seem to be two seperate functions.
What does CCleaner do that Tools>Delete Browsing History, doesn't?
I suspect the OPs settings might be off if the dropdown still shows
websights visited. Wayne

Windows Vista >> History and address bar
Thanks John. I downloaded CCleaner to test it. Apart from the additional
things it deletes, the 5 main items found in Tools>Delete Browsing History
took longer to delete with CC. It also has to be run manually so would not
prevent web history from showing in the dropdown or history section.
What is needed is for History to never show, which of course must wait for
future editions of Windows. As one esteemed poster commented, with MS "zero
days means forever". Was that you?
There are a few other places on the computer that show all sites visited if
one wanted to check on someone's behaviour.
So ones tracks are never completely erased unless one actively seeks out and
deletes these files.
Of course, I never visit objectionable sites.
What I am wondering is why the OP still has the dropdown show when set not to.
-- I also noticed that the dropdown only works with the address bar upper
left by the back/foward buttons. I never use this.
On my home page I have 3 address bars. That one plus one on the other end,
plus Google. What's with them all? Thanks Wayne

John - Taking a second look at CCleaner I can see it is a more useful device.
It allows deleting all at once only what you select. Thanks for that. Wayne

Windows Vista >> History and address bar
Wayne, you also have the opportunity of running CCleaner at start up. This
will then erase anything you did the night before, prior, to your desktop
appearing, so no one sees your list of web visits unless, as you say, you
delve somewhat deeper into the registry.
You might also check, under CCleaners Options, that 'secure deletion' is set
to normal. This allows one pass to delete the file(s). If it is set to
'secure' then, depending upon the setting, it could make up to 7 passes
during the deletion process.
I too have noticed that it can be 'slow' at times, but I suppose that would
depend upon how many files are in he temporary internet file folder and
other folders that it accesses. The fastest I have encountered is around 4.5
seconds and the longest 190 seconds.

- Windows Vista >> Problems while switching usersHi.
I just installed vista ultimate with SP1, and I've encountered some strange
behavior. When I first log into an account everything works fine, but when I
switch to a second account, or even log off the first one and then open
another, vista makes some problems. For example, the welcome screen appears
empty, no program is shown on the taskbar, and not all the notification icons
show up. Further more, it seems that the CPU start working hard for no
apparent reason, and if I open My Computer, it seems empty.
Does anyone knows why it happens or how to solve it?
Thanks,
Yoni

- Windows Vista >> Adding memory and Vista activationI got a simple question...
I have a DELL E521 computer which came with MS Vista Home Premium OEM and 2
GB of memory installed and I want to add 2 GB more.
My question :
Do I have to call the Microsoft "India" vista activation center, because I
add more memory?
**The reason why I say "India", is because I always get someone from India
and you can't understand what there saying with the numbers there telling
you over the phone to enter in the boxes. I rather get someone I can
understand in texas or somewhere in the USA.

- Windows Vista >> GrrrrrrrrrIt taken me all morning to cut 3 Cd's (incl LightScribing which was a total
pain but thats another story)
I burned them as mp3 (data disc) using Windows (not media player - altho i
expect there is a connection)
None of them work because Vista has included some picture files - and as a
result my DVD recognises it as a picture disc
How do I stop Vista adding picture files and just burn the mp3's I told it
to?

- Windows Vista >> Vista Activation transferDoes Vista have a method of verifying activation status
when activation has been transfered to another computer?
I recently built a new system and activated my Retail
Vista License on that machine. Interestingly, the "old"
machine no longer will finish booting it "hangs" shortly
after starting and a network connection never occurs. Is
there some "deactivation" scheme to prevent a user from
running more than one copy of the program?
Not complaining just wanted to know.

- Windows Vista >> Subscribers to RSS FeedsGood Evening, and Happy Holidays... I have kind of a stupid question since I

my site? I my be getting stalked and I just want to know. Please dont beat me
for this question.

- Windows Vista >> WMV fileSometimes when I enjoy some type WMV file I see online and want to save it,
when I go to Temporary Internet Files, it's converted to a DAT file. In WIN
XP, it's in WMV so I can copy it to another folder if I want to keep it. Why
doesn't Vista display the same info in temporary internet files as XP does?

- Windows Vista >> To upgrade or not to upgradeWhat are some of the advantages that you have noticed in a "business" setting
after upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Business
edition? Our company is still undecided and would like to get some feedback.
Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks.

- Windows Vista >> Vista Service Pack 1 killed Office 2007 & it won't install or repaI have Vista Home Premium & Office 2007 installed. I have not been getting
updates for months due to a hanging install of a microsoft.net 1.1 update.
It offers the .net update daily & after dozens of unsuccessful tries it has
finally installed - thus allowing 6 months of windows & office updates to
install.
Next the .net update starts showing up again & freezing out other updates.
Finally it installs again, and vista sp1 appears & installs.
NOW office 07 won't work & says "outlook (or excel, word, etc) is not
installed for the current user. Please re-install. Well it won't reinstall or
repair. Repair doesn't show up as an option in control panel, and when you
try to install from disc it just crashes almost immediately.
Of course - now I am getting the same microsoft.net 1.1 update offer which
will not install & is giving me error code EO434F4D which can't be found in
the microsoft database.
Can anyone help me please?

- Windows Vista >> Uninstalling Kodak Easy Share SoftwareI had Kodak Easy Share v2.1 on my computer. I went under Programs and
Features and removed it. Now whenever I restart my computer, an error message
comes up that says it cannot find kodak application. When I go under Programs
and Features, the kodak icon still appears. It isn't taking up any space on
my hard drive but it is annoying to have that error message pop up every time
I start my computer. Any ideas of what I can do?
