- Windows Vista >> Multiple user accountsAfter doing a format and a clean install of Vista I wanted to add an account
for my girlfriend so i went to user accounts and made one given standred
privelages. After which trying to log in I got an error windows live mail
failed to initalize because it could not access msoe.dll. Anyway it seemed to
be loaded all the processess but there was just a blue screen,no desktop or
windows shell explorer. So I figured it was the video card but my account
loaded up perfectly fine. Then I had a brain fart and decided to try giving
the account full admin privelages and it worked. Is there a specific reason
for this and a way to fix? any help would be appreciated. An e-mail I can be

As the sole user of this computer, I want to be able to
do ANYthing with at most a single UAC alert that's
responsive to an "OK" by me.
However, too often when I seek to move a file from one
folder to another, or do other routine tasks, I can't.
How do I become the highest level of administrator?
Thanks, gurus

- Windows Vista >> Firewall blocked an unblocked programI opened an app I use often.
Up popped a Windows Security Alert saying Windows Firewall had blocked some
features of this program.
It also says at the foot of the dialogue "This program has already been
blocked or unblocked for a different network location"
Assuming that the app has not changed.....
Why block the unblocked app?
Only thing I know to have changed is recent Windows Updates and me
installing Netlimiter 2 Monitor.
Also, what is this "different network location"?

Than Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 RTW, Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Long

Just FYI. I Think That Frank, Bill Yanyire, The MS-MVP's, And Microsoft
Itself Needs A Major Wake Up Call Regarding Windows Vista Service Pack One,
As It's Much Slower Than The Other 3 Mentioned Operating Systems Combined,
Just FYI. All Sold Copies Of Windows Vista Needs 2 Be Recalled, Before It

- Windows Vista >> After Vista reinstall and successful activation, Windows "thinks"Hi,
I had to reinstall Windows Vista today. I thought activation of the software
was going to be an issue as there is so much written on the internet about
this, however activation went ok, but ... surprise surprise, after minutes of
being using the system and a couple of drivers installed, Windows started to
display a message suggesting the Windows copy I have is not legal and that I
need to click on a link to validate.
After going through the on-line validation process successfuly again,
Windows still thinks the software is ilegal....
Please help.
Thanks.

- Windows Vista >> Will more memory help?Hi group,
I have a new HP a1700n with 1GB of memory. Vista seems to run pretty slowly,
especially on boot-up. Guy at the megastore where I bought it says another
gig of memory will make it run like greased lightning. Is this true, or is
this guy just trying to sell me a memory stick?
Thanks,
Chet

- Windows Vista >> No Programs will runI have been running Vista for almost a year. Then the other day it just
stopped running any programs, including explorer, excel, etc. I click on the
icon and nothing happens. I try to access them through the c-drive and still
no luck. I can't even get the task manager to come up. I'm sending this from
a different computer. It is possible this problem occured after I loaded a
program to link to my digital camera.

Windows Vista >> Rebooting at 'configuring updates 3 of 3. 0% complete
Hello
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
EMail@HideDomain.com.
This is the blog on the issue:

Windows Vista >> Rebooting at 'configuring updates 3 of 3. 0% complete
Fixing Windows Vista Home Premium after installing KB937287 "Windows
Update"
In Microsoft Vista Home Premium, there was a screwed up update.
It kept rebooting the computer and displayed this message: "Configuring
Updates Stage 3 of 3" and would go from 0% to 100% before rebooting
again. Safe mode offered no help as the same thing happened. Going into
System Restore said there were no valid restore points because something
wasn't running. I called 1-866-pcsafety and they helped me through this
resolution.
To resolve this - get to a command prompt:
The command prompt may display as "X:" - if it does, type "C:" and
press enter (changing the location to the boot drive).
Change directory to the "C:\Windows\winsxs" folder by typing:
" CD \ " (press Enter)
" CD \Windows\winsxs " (press Enter)
Rename the file named "Pending.xml" to something else by typing:
"ren pending.xml pending.xxx" (press Enter)
Run regedit by typing "Regedit" and press Enter.
Search for the entry with this description: "Advanced installer need
resolving"
and delete it.
Search for the entry: "Pending.xml identifier" (which will be 2 lines
or so after the first one) and delete it.
End the Regedit and reboot. You should be OK.

Windows Vista >> Rebooting at 'configuring updates 3 of 3. 0% complete
This is a post of my great interest.
Did you let the system boot from the Vista setup DVD and got into the
command prompt mode? Another word how did you get to the command prompt
when the VISTA is unable to boot?

If you follow those steps, then you need to backup your data and reinstall
the OS.
Servicing on those systems is now in a unknown state which will affect

Hello,
Because we don't know which updates were in the process of installing,
until you attempt to do something with those updates, like modify them in
Add\remove Programs, or install another update that changes that component,
you may not notice any issue.
But future changes to that component could be broken.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

- 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 >> 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?

- 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.
