- Windows Vista >> Make Windows Mail defaultI recently installed both Vista Home Premium and Office 2007. I first
configured my Vista's Windows Mail account which set it as my default mail
handler. I then opened Outlook (from Office 2007) and was forced to
configure another e-mail account before I could access any of Outlook's
other features, i.e. calendar, tasks, contacts, etc. Now I want to reset
Windows Mail as my default. How/Where do I do that?

- Windows Vista >> Remote Desktop unavailable on lan after connecting to wireless?So I am trying to manage my system and a wireless router using a remote
desktop connection only to find that when I try to connect to any wireless
network Remote Desktop immediately forgets what interface it was started on
and refuses to accept new remote desktop requests until the wireless host it
was connecting to forcefully disconnects it (via unplugging, or other means).
Why does Remote Desktop forget what interface it is on and immediately bind
to the WLAN interface? I have configured windows to give preference to LAN
connections over WLAN connections (Network Connections -> Advanced Settings),
and there is no indication that the original LAN connection has been dropped
since all my other services are running as to be expected.
Because this machine does not have a videocard (waiting for RMA return) I
have managed this machine through Remote Desktop and this bug, yes bug- there
is no reason why it is terminating all connections to the non-affected LAN
interface, is making it impossible for me to manage my wireless router which
lost its configuration after a firmware reflash.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Disconnect from wireless if used and connect to LAN via ethernet.
2. Set priority to LAN device over WLAN device in Advanced Settings in
Manage Network Connections (Advanced menubar -> Advanced Settings (hit alt if
necessary to make menubar visible)).
3. Remote into machine using Remote Desktop (TSClient v6).
4. Start -> Connect to. Choose any access point Windows may not recognize.
[If you can only remote in, make sure it is an AP you can turn off]
5. Wait until windows attempts to connect. You will notice Remote Desktop
has lost its connection after about 30 seconds.
6. Ping the machine or access any other service running on it. It should
still be responsive on the LAN interface (as it has not been disconnected).
7. Attempt to reconnect using Remote Desktop over LAN. It should not connect
to that machine at this point.
8. Turn off Access Point you control. Attempt to use Remote desktop to the
machine that was unresponsive over LAN. It will connect now.
Expected Behavior:
Wireless device connects without interrupting and denying Remote Desktop
session.
Experienced Behavior:
As long as wireless device is connected, Remote Desktop becomes unavailable
until wireless device has been disconnected or disabled.
System:
Windows Vista Business, fully patched.
LAN [nForce4 Ethernet [ven/dev: 0x10DE/0x0038]: nForce 15.00 driver]
WLAN [Linksys Wireless-G PCI [ven/dev: 0x1814/0x0301]: Windows WHQL driver
2.0.3.0]
Note: This system does not currently have a videocard and can only be
accessed via remote desktop.

- Windows Vista >> "My Pictures" crashes Windows ExplorerWhenever I open up "My Pictures" in Vista, all I see are the generic images
for the file types (i.e. a flower or a few shapes or a landscape for .jpg
or.bmp or whatever). After a few seconds, I get an error message that says
"Windows Explorer has stopped working" then "Searching for a solution" then
"Windows Explorer is restarting." Then, everything flashes away except my
desktop image, and then everything's back except the Pictures folder. I'm
running a new version of Vista, I only bought the computer a few moths ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

- Windows Vista >> Display probelms in VistaWhen I open a window that's not maximised, or open a dialogue box, or indeed
anything that's not full size, when I move the cursor outside of the
displayed area, the window disappears and the display reverts to the recent
most full size window. The application or dialogue box or prompt stays open
but I have to select it from the task bar and then ensure that the cursor is
kept inside the displayed area to prevent the same thing happening. Is there
anything within Vista that I can change to stop this?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

- Windows Vista >> Several applications are trying to access the internet to specific ip address in vista only! ref/eDN3072784783The address are 10.0.0.138 which is a gateway address on the router and the
224.0.0.2 where is unknown to us internet address. This is happening also
with application that ARE NOT internet applications! In particular, a
specific program that had never requested internet access in xp pro now in
vista requires access. This mysterious activity found by zone alarm
firewall.
So we have the same applications with different system with different
behavior. I think that 99% system is responsible for this. Of course there
is antivirus installed, updated etc. The application's files are identical
with the original files, so cannot be virus activity.
Please give me more information about this issue.
Kind regards

Windows Vista >> Display Won't turn off
There is an optional update that fixed this problem for me. I cannot
remember exactly what it's called though - I want to say it?s a HUD or
something?
Check windows update and look at the optional ones.

- Windows Vista >> request for spline curves for Vista, XP OSVista and XP come with the capability of doing Bezier curves. that
came with NT if I remember right.
controlling Bezier curves is like Alice in Wonderland trying to use a
flamingo as a croquet mallet.
I'm not saying take bezier curves out, because paint programs and
people use them. I am saying "Add spline curves", such as Akima
Spline.
with splines you just pick the points along the curve you want, and it
fits the curve to those points. simple. only gotcha is that you need
extra points around sharp edges.

- Windows Vista >> Article: Windows Vista Simply Can't Catch a Break - Maybe with SP1 - But its a big maybeIts sad that many people are just beginning to realize how bad vista is, I
saw how horrid it was more than a year ago after using it for say 5 mins!
Of course I predicted this reaction.. but I thought Vista would be declared
trash faster than it has been... I actually thought people
would realize this faster...
""That's been a disappointment. Our customer surveys tell us customers are
adopting at a slower rate than we -- or anyone else -- thought.""
Oh you don't say? Why is it that I saw vista was crap right away???? Its a
miracle vista is still being sold!
Link towards article>
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-Vista-Simply-Can-039-t-Catch-a-Break-Maybe-with-SP1-73961.shtml
At over one year since Windows Vista was released to manufacturing and after
it shipped to businesses in November 2006, and at almost 12 months since the
operating system hit the shelves, it simply cannot catch a break. The last
statistics related to the market performance of the latest Windows client to
come out of Redmond pointed to in excess of 88 million licenses
shipped to the company's channel partners. At the same time, data published
by market metrics firm Net Applications points to the fact that Vista is
right on track to hit the 10% market share/100 million copies by the end of
2007. Still, with the sole exception of Microsoft, the general perception is
that Vista's uptake in the corporate environment is suffering drastically.
Businesses are notably slow at adopting new technology, and as Vista
requires a healthy underlying infrastructure, companies generally
synchronized migration to the new software with their next hardware upgrade.
At the same time, the first service pack for Vista is regarded as a sign of
maturity, and there are examples of large corporations, such as Intel and
Dell that have postponed jumping to Vista well after SP1. While Microsoft
gave strong indications that it was in fact selling Vista in the corporate
environment, independent studies come to illustrate the contrary, revealing
that although the adoption of the operating system will pick up in the
coming year, the rate of uptake will still be low.
"That's been a disappointment. Our customer surveys tell us customers are
adopting at a slower rate than we -- or anyone else -- thought. Even those
that have licenses and can move quickly are not. Our CIO has been using
Vista now for a long time. His comment is that it would take three or four
hours for every user to learn Vista. He thinks it will be a big investment.
For end user customers, the investment is not just in teaching Vista, but in
new hardware to go along with it. It will continue to be adopted, but it's a
slower base than anyone thought it would be a couple years ago", revealed
John Edwardson, chairman and CEO of CDW, as cited by Channel Web.
In this context, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will be a turning point for
the operating system. Microsoft has just made available a public version of
Vista SP1 RC1, but has failed to deliver an accurate deadline for the
delivery of the refresh. And most of all, the Redmond company has constantly
downplayed the relevance of SP1, gearing users directly to Vista or to
Windows Update. In this regard, Microsoft has managed to create the
perception that SP1 will not turn a new page for Vista.

- Windows Vista >> Restore Old User Profile and DataThis afternoon my 20 month old daughter climbed up to my laptop and held down
the power button so that Windows Vista Home Premium Booted and then
imediately shut down and began to reboot again. A black screen indicating
that Windows had not properly booted and I could boot as normal or go with
the system recommeded option, which I had assumed at the time was simply a
scan to ensure Windows was working properly. I selected the later. My system
went into what I think is recovery mode and began to make "images" of the
data and it seems that Vista re-formatted itself so that I was prompted after
all was said and done to create a new user profile. I would like to restore
the old profile with 11 GBs worth of invaluable data, but I'm not entirely
certain what happened, nor how to restore the original profile. I know the
size of my hard drive partitions did not change and when I view the Users
file in my primary partition the original profile is there. Any advice or
direction on where I could read a tutorial to figure this out would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
