- Windows Vista >> 2.2 ghz amd only showing up as 1.0 under vista?I have a amd athlon 64 processor 3500+ that's 2.2 ghz that ran fine when I
used XP Media Center. I upgraded to Vista when It came out and I've had
nothing but problems ever since, my latest problems is I am not able to play
some of my games that worked perfect under xp because they read my processor
at 1.0 ghz, but vista still reconizies it at 2.0 under my system properties.
This is the last straw for me with vista... My question is 2 fold. First, why
is this happening? and second is... I'm done with Vista.. but since I
upgraded from XP media center to Vista Home premium am I able to do this? I
have heard some people saying my xp licesense key is invalidated since I
installed vista... is this true? someone please tell me how to get Vista off
of my hard drive please.

- Windows Vista >> Windows Vista vs Norton - idiot questionHello all,
On November 2007 I have bought a new PC â?? HP 9050 -, which included a
licence of 90 days for Norton Internet Security 2007. Iâ??ve never liked Norton
â?? itâ??s too heavy and too complicated to work with.
So I decided that, since my licence already expired, to remove Norton and
install Panda Internet Security 2008 (Iâ??ve always used Panda products and
never complained).
First, I tried to remove Norton using the removal tool (downloaded from
Symantec Site) but it didnâ??t work (donâ??t ask why, it just did not execute).
Consequently, I decided to remove Norton manually (Add/Remove programs in
Control Panel). This removal process didnâ??t have any problems.
But Iâ??ve read in several magazines and forums that we need to clean our
Registry.
In Windows Registry, Iâ??ve deleted the following entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Symantec
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Symnrt
HKEY_CURRENT USER \ Software \ Symantec
HKEY_USERS \ .DEFAULT \ Software \ Symantec
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \
Uninstall \ Symsetup
After that, Iâ??ve searched in the System, including system files and hidden
files and folders, for anything related to Norton and Symantec.
For Norton, I found:
- Norton Internet Security 2007 Uninstall (Text Document)
- Norton Setup 10,2,0 (Text Document)
- Norton Antivirus (Scrip file)
- Norton Internet Security (Scrip File)
- Norton Live Update (Scrip File)
- Norton Personal Firewall (Scrip File)
For Symantec, I found:
- Folder Symantec: included the files Content (XME),
Symc_black_background_800_178 (PNG Image), Symc_int_sec (Icon),
Symc_logo_128_128 (PNG Image)
- Folder Symantec (another one): includes two folders â?? Definitions (with
file latest-hub-webauth.sql) and LifeUpdate (with file settings.liveupdate)
- Folder Symantec Shared, with a Subfolder CCPD-LC that included the file
symlcrst.dll
Iâ??ve moved all these files and folders to Recycle.
My idiot question is if I can delete definitely these files and folders from
my computer or is it any danger of causing instability to Windows?
By the way, my O.S. is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bits.
Thanks

- Windows Vista >> Vista will not install some programsVery strangely, Vista 32-bit home premium will install most programs
but will not install others: Mappoint 2006, Nero 7 and the update for
Symantec antivirus. I've reinstalled the OS a couple of times, and it
stalls with these three. I run the installations from CDs.
These same CDs begin installing without a problem in two other PCs
with Vista and XP, respectively...In this particular system, I just
get the little circle after I press install and nothing happens. Any
advice?

- Windows Vista >> Rebooting at 'configuring updates 3 of 3. 0% completeHello
I still need more log files for the investigation that we are doing:
If people are running into this can you send me the log files.
Can you send me some of the log files from the system?
%windir%\logs\cbs\*.*
%windir%\WindowsUpdate*.log
%windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log
%windir%\winsxs\poqexec.log (if exists)
%windir%\winsxs\pending.* (if exists)
%windir%\Performance\WinSAT\Datastore\*.*
%windir%\System32\winevt\Logs\application.evtx
Try booting to the Windows Vista DVD, choose the repair option in the lower
left-hand corner.
Choose to boot to a CMD prompt, copy the log files to a temp folder (or
onto removable media if available)
while in the repair more after copying the files to a temp location, you
should be able to choose the system restore option.
This should get you back operational.
Then send me the log file.
Remove the online section from the email name listed here before sending
darrellg@online.microsoft.com.
This is the blog on the issue:

- Windows Vista >> Recycle bin error/bug?Okay when I drag an item to the recycle bin the graphic from empty to full
doesn't update, nor does it update when i refresh the desktop.
If I right click the recycle bin to empty it as I usually do knowing there
is something inside it, the option is greyed out.
Instead I currently have to open the recycle bin everytime just to delete an
item.
This picture may help with what I'm trying to say
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c367/omegajudgement/recyclebinerror.png
1. Item before being deleted
2. Item being dragged over recycle bin
3. Item in recycle bin while the graphic not changed
4. Right click to empty greyed out
5. Refresh page
6. Still not updated, greyed out option to empty
7. Open recycle bin and item is shown inside, missing the recycle bin due to
shoddy crop but the graphic updates to full when I open it.
How do I change it so it goes back to the way it once was?

Have you tried Control panel >Appearance and Personalization>Desktop

- Windows Vista >> Vista Service Pack 1 Beta SuspensionA couple of day ago, I read on http://www.betanews.com that microsoft
suspended the beta program due
to problem reported to the newsgroups. Well, does that mean that we won't
get SP1 at all now?
I was wondering.

- Windows Vista >> problem getting correct realtek driver for toshiba laptopIn preparation for SP1, I tried to update the realtek driver (high
definition) for my Toshiba. While I CAN install the 1.89 driver from
realtek, I lose functionality, like headphone output and am missing the
Realtek HD Audio Manager in control panel. I remember somewhat this
same issue last year when tracking down a distortion problem--the
drivers from Realtek don't provide the proper support for this laptop.
Anyone run across this and know of a solution?
The Toshiba site still has the much earlier driver package from last
year, and that's what I reinstalled in order to get back full
functionality. The MS site shows that the version I have is not
compatible with SP1, so at some point I will need to load a compatible
sound driver.

- Windows Vista >> Locating outlook.pst in VistaHi
I've got a very strange issue in Vista while trying to locate the
outlook.pst file.
(for purpose of this message the user logged in is Matt with full Admin
access)
Outlook itself puts the file in
C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst. I know this as
when I look at the advanced settings on Personal Folders it tells me the
location. This is also the location I find it in on other PC's in the
office.
However - when I view the directory structure under Vista in Computer there
is no "c:\users\Matt" directory at all.
I managed to do a search for outlook.pst and Vista found it in C:\Documents
and Settings\Matt\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. I
created a shortcut to this and can open the directory, however when I try to
access the C:\Documents and Settings directory from the left hand menu in
Computer, I get an access denied message as though it doesnt exist.
We have another laptop in the office running Vista Home Premium and there is
a C:\Users\<user> directory and the outlook.pst can easily be found.
Please can anyone help and advise as to why we are unable to find this
outlook.pst file and why the <user> directory is not showing under c:\users.
Thanks

- Windows Vista >> Querky problemHi all
Not sure if this is the proper place to seek help, but I am going to ask
here. This whole Internet thing has got me a bit perplexed. I happened about
here just by clicking on the buttons on the Microsoft website.
I just received a new computer from my family for my birthday and it came
with something called "Vista Home". First off, what is this mess?
I have been happily using my current (maybe old ?) computer to do all things
I need to do. Such as, pay my bills, email friends and family, internet, and
printing. My "old" computer was from 2002, and to me, seemed , be working
fine. ( It runs XP )
Now I have been trying to just do simple things, such as install the
software for my camera and printer, and all it does is keep asking if I am
authorized??!!!
Hell. It's MY computer, and Yes, I want to INSTALL these things.
If this is the future of the PC, I will stay with my XP .
Thanks for the ears .

- Windows Vista >> Upgrading From OEM Home Premium to Full Version of UltimateI had a local PC shop build me a pc with Ultimate as the OS ...... I was not
happy with the PC and they were willing to refund all money but the price of
the Full Ultimate License that was purchased for the building of the PC
I then bought a HP Slimline that came with Vista Premium ....
Question: Can I upgrade from Premium to Ultimate using the Ultimate Full
Retail version that I own? If so, will I lose anything in this upgrade?
Are there any suggestions out there?
Thx

- Windows Vista >> Vista Home Premium On Gateway Locks up intermittentlyRecently I have had issues with my laptop just locking up. I'll walk away
and start doing something else, then I'll comeback and the screen looks
normal. Then I'll either try and move the mouse (via the pad) and nothing.
I've sometimes had the sidebar open and other times it locked up it wasn't
on. Either or it still locks up.
I have to do a hard reset and this is not a good thing. Certainly this
machine and others are not built or designed for this type of performance.
Please help.
