- Windows Vista >> Firewall: Vista's inbuilt or something elseI will soon have my new box loaded with Bill's Vista Home Premium. No
doubt Avast Home Edition is my preferred AV but regarding firewall I
am not sure whether I should keep Vista's default firewall or go in
for Comodo. I have heard Bill has improved inbuilt firewall in Vista.
What do you think will be the best choice?

- Windows Vista >> Vista Reboots At Login LoopSetting up new HP Laptops with Vista I have come up with an issue of
Vista rebooting while logging in.
This is happening on 4 laptops and only occurs when the users is
attempting to login off the network. As long as the laptop is plug
into the network it will login just fine but as soon as you remove
from network and attempt to reboot in a standalone using cached
credentials it reboots. Sometimes the laptops will come back with
access denied then simple reboot. If you let the laptop sit there
after a reboot it will just sit at the Welcome Screen.

I have recently set up my computer to be able to dual-boot either XP or
Vista. This machine, a Gateway DX420X dual core, came with XP Professional
installed and a
coupon for upgrading to Vista Business when it became available. I didn't
load my Vista upgrade until recently when I decided to set up a dual-boot
configuration. The setup went well and after re-partitioning my hard drive,
I loaded Vista. When booting up, I get the screen asking which system I want
to use...XP or Vista. If I select Vista, everything works as it should.
However, if I select XP, a screen comes up telling me that "Windows failed to
start. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and
restart your computer. 2. Choose your language settings and click 'Next'.
3. Click 'Repair your computer'. This is followed by; File: \rrtldr,
Status: 0xc000000f, Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the
application is missing or corrupt.
I have tried numerous times to restart the computer using the "Windows XP
Professional Operating System Disc" that was supplied with my machine in
order to follow the above instructions to fix the problem. No joy! The
system does not recognize the OS disc in the drive and instead boots normally
again asking me which system I want to use.
How do I reload XP so that it is error free and still retain the dual-boot
capability or am I committed to running only Vista?

- Windows Vista >> Can easy transfer use disk from crashed pcmy pc went belly up this week, but the disk drive survived. My new PC is
vista, but I have all the data from the old PC on what is now an external
drive.
Is ther any way of automatically recovering the documents and settings from
the drive?

- Windows Vista >> Upgrading from 2G to 4G on Vista HP = Crashed = HelpI did some interesting readings here before posting my question and learned
about issues and facts, something I use to do a while ago...! I wanted to
increase my actual memory of 2G to 4G running Vista HP 32 bits (aware of some
issues or limitations and why). I got the exact same Dimms Kingston KVR 2G
667 (DC Kit) and installed it. At first I crashed because I had forgotten to
reset virtual memory to auto mode (allow windows to decide). So, I removed
the extra 2Gb, corrected that issue, and all goes. However, I encountered
other problems; Trend Micro Internet security 2008 crashed while scanning, I
removed it, still now, Windows defender crashed, my backup sotware also
crashed, in others words the system became unstable or unreliable. I have
tried various things, still unstable and crashes. I removed the extra 2G of
memory, deleted and reinstalled Trend Micro, reconfigured my backup sotware,
etc..., and all is fine now. The memory Dimms were exactly the same (Asus
P5B-E, E6600 dual Core, 2G DDR2 DC 667MHz or PC-5300).
Any explanations as to why this is happening (I think it's because of lack
of sufficient adressing (mapping) available for some software, the space
being all taken if I may say so or any special parameters I'm not aware of or
simply normal (limitations)?

- Windows Vista >> Carousel shortcut NOT compatible with buttons on mice?I have a Logitech mx610 mouse and was hoping I could use the forward and back
browser buttons it has (which work find on windows explorer/internet
explorer) to access the 3d carousel... Using logitech's setup to configure
keyboard keys to the mouse buttons, you simple select the mouse button you
want to customize and press they key (or keys) you want it to activate and
save. However when I press the "windows logokey" needed to access the
carousel, the start menu just opens even though I am in the logitech program.
is there a way around this?

- Windows Vista >> Media PlayerWhen I open Media Player to play a file, it opens fine. However, if I close

- Windows Vista >> Offline Files "Change Limits" button not working. Cannot change Offline Files SettingsMy Offline Files has been doing some strange things lately. Not only does my
computer lock up to 100% CPU usage every 2 minutes for 1 minute at a time
due to the CSCService (Offline Files), but the "Change Limits" button under
the Disk Usage tab in the Offline Files control panel does not not work.
When I click on "Change Limits", nothing happens.
If I click on the "Delete Temporary Files..." button, a status bar appears
and stays on screen. I clicked this button and left the house for more than
5 hours and came back and it was still on the progress indicator.
In the control panel, it shows 99 GB in use and 99 GB available (???) in the
overview. I have 250GB HD so not sure why it's showing I have 99GB
available. And under Temporary offline files, it shows 99 GB in use and 99
GB available. It's like my offline files has become corrupt somehow.
This is the 2nd time I've had to re-install Vista due to problems like this.
I really need to keep offline files enabled, but it just doesn't seem to
work and/or causes my computer to crap out.
Does anyone know how to repair/reset the Offline Files so I can change the
limits in the Control Panel again???

- Windows Vista >> Login Process Initialization Failure Error Message - HELP!Greetings all,
A friend of mine called me tonight saying he can't get Windows Vista
Home Premium to start on his laptop. All he gets is a black screen with
an error message -
"Interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the
event log for more details."
He didn't receive a Vista DVD so he can't run a startup repair or
anything else - he can't even get into 'Safe Mode'
I suggested he find someone with a Vista DVD and try a startup repair,
or, worse comes to worse, take it back to the place where he bought it
(still under warranty)
Can any gurus out there help us get this guy back up and running again??
I did a google search of the error message - an exercise in futility!
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
Ray :(

Windows Vista >> Save as Favorite links problems..
Dear All,
In the Save as Dialog, the (upper left panel)
Favorite links does not work
as it should.
The Recent place displays nothing
and i cannot drag and drop folders or drives
and make shortcuts of them
inside the Favorite links panel.
Is there a way to restore the save as dialog?
Thanks for any info..

- Windows Vista >> Display Excel and Word Documents in Web Browser?I am new to Vista, and I cannot find the option to display a Word or Excel

- Windows Vista >> Vista Ultimate "Complete PC Backup" Fails with (0x80780048) ErrorAnyone have a solution, besides reformatting my external backup drive to
make space again? My external USB backup drive is 500gb and now have 70gb
free on it. I acknowledge there is not enough free space to backup the 184mb
in use so far on my 500gb C drive. But the Complete PC backup is supposed to
delete the oldest backup image(s) to make room for the new backup if needed
right? At least that's what it says on the screen before it check for
available disk space on the backup drive. I searched Microsoft's Vista
support page for the error code but didn't find any matches to help me. Here
are my system specs if that will help:
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, Intel Q6600 CPU, 2gb RAM, 500gb RAID-0 HD,
Nvidia 8800GTX 768mb GPU, 22" Widescreen LCD, Asus/ViXS Combo-210E TV Tuner,

Premium Stereo Headset, external Lacie USB 500gb backup drive.

- Windows Vista >> Password Reset Disk?Per the Vista Help function, it appears that one can only
have ONE password reset disk. That is my interpretation
based on the statement to the effect that the creation of a
password reset disk invalidates previous password reset
disks. I'd like to have two such disks, one to keep in a
safe part of my home, and another to keep at a safe off-site
location.
Two questions:
1. Is there a way to make a second password reset disk
without invalidating the previous one?
2. If I duplicate the password reset disk, using the copy
function for a 3.5" floppy, with both the original and the
copy work?
Thanks.

- Windows Vista >> Must Reset Network Adapter Upon Waking From Sleep ModeI've read numerous threads that detail problems with Vista requiring
resetting ones network adapter both after booting or upon waking from sleep
mode. My problem is one of those. I have internet connection if I reboot,
but if I wake from sleep, I do not. So far, I have not seen a solution to
this problem and am creating this thread in the hope I have simply been
unable to find it.
I believe this is a Vista problem because there are four other computers
that connect to the same router and none of them have the problem I do. They
are connected to the router as listed below:
#1: XP Wired
#2: XP Wireless
#3: XP Wired
#4: Vista Wireless (Laptop)
Mine: Vista Wired
I receive the following when using the Diagnose and Repair Tool:
"Unable to connect to primary DNS server (192.168.1.1)"
I acheive an internet connection 100% of the time simply by resetting the
network adapter which is the only choice presented me by this tool. I also
have never experienced a loss of internet while using my computer after doing
this.
It gets tiring resetting the adapter everytime I logon since I always use
sleep mode. The mention of not connecting to the primary DNS server should
give me a clue, but I'm a novice to networks and after many hours of reading
posts and manuals and even purchasing a Vista book at a bookstore, I'm too
frustrated to keep searching.
I'm posting in the hope that one of you heady technophiles will be able to
solve this problem or at least head me in the right direction. Thanks for
reading.

- Windows Vista >> Streaming video problemI have just set up a wireless home network moving on from just the one
computer using a USM modem to Tiscali but have a strange situation regarding
downloading streaming video.
My preferred video player is Windows Media Player.
When I download streaming video to my desktop which is wired through the
modem/router I have no problems. However, when I try to download streaming
video on any of my wireless laptops using Windows media Player nothing
happens. If I use Real Player then I can download streaming videos OK.
If I connect my laptop to the internet using my old USB modem there is no
problem with Downloading streaming video so the computer is not at fault.
Because I can dowload streaming video to Windows Media Player on my desktop
through my new modem/router there is no issue there.
Can anyone explain this issue which is only happening with Windows Media
Player.

- Windows Vista >> Windows Vista - LicensesHello folks,
I'm really stuck with the licensing program of the Windows Vista.
There are plenty of licensing programs including OEM, OLP, FULL,
UPGRADE and the like. The truth is that I need to buy a copy of
Windows Vista Ultimate (the full version), which I can install and
activate over and over again on a single machine. i.e., there are some
situations where I might need to re-format my hard drive... In such
cases, I would like to install the same OS over my machine from
scratch and activate it again.
Could anybody out there help me to choose a proper license for such
activities?
TIA,
Mehdi

- Windows Vista >> Problesm with Windows 04/10/081. I have wondered what information is stored on the Internet about my
searches. What does Microsoft Live search store? I ask this as I know
that if you use Google they can store the searches my either IP
addresses or my machine name and the only way that I can figure to
remove them is to get a gmail account and delete the web search
history that way.
Do the other web search firms get search data like Google?
2. Steve Gibson talked about Ram Hijacks and has this paper
http://citp.princeton.edu/memory/ linked on this web site:
http://www.grc.com/securitynow.html. I have wondered what data is
stored in the windows filed called pagefile.sys and hibernation.sys
and can it be stolen? If so, why doesn't clear the pagefile as the
default?
3. Why is the "reliability monitor" 1 day late in reporting
information? If I work on a Vista machine and use this monitor as a
nice chart, I would be hosed.
4. Why doesn't the Vista event viewer show "Blue screen of death" and
the related codes for it?
5. I got a Blue Screen of Death on my Windows Vista Home Premium
machine this AM as the machine was booting up. I downloaded the
Windows Vista SP1 RTM symbols from
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/symbolpkg.mspx.
windbg tells me that I have the wrong symbol sets. Why?????
Also when the machine first booted up, I got a dialog box telling me
that I could either cancel the dialog box or check later for the
reason for BSOD. Why couldn't I check now?
Why is there a better GUI for bedugging Windows BSOD???
5. What files the SP1 installed on my Vista Home Premium machine don't
work? Other files like recdisc.exe???

- Windows Vista >> Blue Screen ErrorsI, too, am plagued with BSOD. I have a Dell Dim E521, purchased about 10 mos
ago. Dell's answers have been everything from driver updates (which don't
work for the machine problems) to restoring to factory setup, which doesn't
work for me. Stripping away all of my useful programs may be an answer, but
not the right answer.
Dell is going to call again today. I think these are the same guys I talk to
when I call HP support. So far I've communicated with half the male
population of India.
I'm no computer geek (and don't intend to spend 10 hours a week to become
one), but have been involved in analytical trouble shooting all of my life.
My take is that these BSOD posts represent less than 5% of the BSOD problems
being encountered with Vista. The actual problem is way too widespread to be
blamed on hardware.
If Microsoft really wants to get to bottom of this, you need to start asking
better questions to find the commonalities, i.e. Virus software, device
drivers, usage patterns, etc., and stop worrying about stepping on the toes
of various software providers. Otherwise we'll all just continue grasping at
straws, and the favored target straw is as varied as the number of techs.
The shotgun approach of uninstalling everything but Vista would give me 100
GB of disk space that I would never use, and reduce my machine to toy
status. If all I can do is email & web surfing, I don't need a computer.
I'm way too busy using applications to be taking the time to be
re-installing.

- Windows Vista >> Legitimate Offer?Received email about the one year anniversy of Vista and as a participant in
the beta/rc1 program, that if I purchased a retail copy of Vista ultimate,
either from a retailer or by download, and activated it within a set time
period, I would be entitled to a free upgrade key for another Vista Ultimate
(must already have XP or Vista installed on that machine).
Purchasing the Ulitame is not the issue, the question relates to the site
where you claim the free upgrade, you have to enter the Product Id (not
serial number). It appears to be a Technet site, but easy enough to fake.
Again is this legitimate or a phishing activity to obtain Product ID?

How do I get rid of the icon?

characters to choose from: Warriors, Bowmen, Magician, or Thief. These
characters can be dressed in many different and colorful outfits.
Personalizing characters is one of the goals of Maple Story. Once a
character has been created, they will learn skills that will help them
when they reach Victoria Island.
