- Windows Vista >> mystery window need eradication helpThe title in the window is day, date & time but the window is blank except
for the message "navigation to the web page was cancelled" what you can
try - refresh the page ( which doesn't do anything).
The only way I can get rid of it is through task manager but it comes back.
I have bare minimum in my start up(msn messenger, antivirus) and have
cleaned up unused programs.
What would cause this and how do I remove it permanently?

- Windows Vista >> Vista does not recognise USB mouseI was using Vista Ultimate 32bit with this Dell system with PS/2 mouse.
I bought a new USB mouse to replace the broken mouse.
But when power up Vista, it does not recognize this new USB mouse.
I check this USB mouse at my laptop, and this mouse works fine.
How can I make Vista to switch from PS/2 to USB mouse?
Thank you.

- Windows Vista >> Vista stop error code 124Okay, about 2 months ago I bought a new laptop from dell. everything
worked fine for a while but about 2 weeks ago I started getting weird
blue screen errors after a software update I did, after uninstalling
the software and still having BSOD messages I decided to reformat the
drive.
after reformatting I ran into annoying BSOD error messages that kept
causing the reinstall to fail. I always deleted the partition and
created a new one and after hours talking with tech support I finally
got the OS installed....BUT
Now, the only way I can log in to windows is in safe mode...every time
I try to log in normally somtimes it will make it to the log in screen,
most of the time it doesn't, if it DOES make it to the login screen
sometimes it will actually let me login (VERY RARELY) and even then if
it does let me log in it's only for less than a minute before it
crashes to a BSOD...
I keep getting error code 0x00000124 and it's VERY VERY frustrating,
I've ran every damn diagnostic test on my machine literally at least 5
times and there are no hardware errors. The tech support person at dell
also assured me that if the tests show no errors then the hardware is
fine. so WHY is this happening.....any help would be greatly
appreciated.
**ALSO I forgot to mention however that if the BSOD occurs before it
gets to the login screen it's not a stop error 124 it's a stop error
code that looks like this
STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000005,
0x846E49D0, 0xF2000018, 0x02000E0F)
**
If you need to know any specs about my pc just ask and I can tell you
w/e you need to know.

- Windows Vista >> D: Drive low disk spaceI have a HP, and the D drive is a partitioned drive (Recovery (D:) It shows
1.00 GB free of 8.68 GB. I believe that it is an automatic backup. I did not
choose to backup my system to it. I don't know if this is a HP thing since
this is the first HP that I have owned and the first time I have used Windows

- Windows Vista >> Failure w/ Vista laptop using Remote Desktop Connection To XP compI am trying to configure my laptop to be able to work on an office computer.
I was able to do this with my home desktop without a problem because both of
those computers were using Windows XP.
I have installed the VPN on the Vista laptop & I can connect without a
problem. However, when I lauch Remote Desktop Connection and I log in I get
the following error message:
"The remote desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you want to
connect to. This problem can occur if: 1. The remote comkputere is running
a version of windows that is earlier than Windows Vista. 2. The Remote
computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer."
Does this mean that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a Vista computer to do a remote
connection to an XP Computer?

- Windows Vista >> jerky audio PB in WMP11Hi Folks,
I'm running Vista Home Premium on a dual core machine with 2gig of DDR2 ram.
My problem is that when I play an album or playlist of MP3's through either
WMP or MC they play fine until 20 secs before the end of the track. At about
this point, there's a couple or 3 stutters as if the PC was "getting the
next track ready"
Other players play fine, ie the otherwise awful Sonic Stage and so on.
I've looked through the options and can't see anything adrift.
Help please !!!

- Windows Vista >> User account logs in but fails to display desktopI set up multiple users using Rick for my desktop as the initial
administrator user. Early on I turned off User Account Control to avoid the
annoying and continuous requests for permissions to do virtually anything on
my own computer in my own desktop. I subsequently turned User Account
Control back on to facilitate the installation of a software program. After
rebooting the PC I was able to log on to Rick but after waiting forever found
that my desktop would not display. The only way I could display anything was
to use Ctrl/Alt/Del key sequence which then allowed me to switch to a second
user to reset the User Account Control to off. After rebooting I was able to
display the desktop for Rick. I since tried various settings changes to try
to recover from the loss of my desktop display while User Account Control is
in the on condition. After numerous attempts I am now no longer able to
display my desktop in either the on or off condition for User Account Control
even though I show that I am still logged in as Rick. How do a regain access
to my desktop display under user name Rick?

- Windows Vista >> CDROM Disc DriveI have a Vista Home Premium Inspiron 530 from Dell. My disc drive was working
normally until last week. Now the icon has disappeared off the Computer page,
I don't get a window come up on the monitor when I insert a CD, and I have
been able to find nothing on my hard drive to correct this. Whenever I go
into anything connected with the disc drive it tells me that it doesn't
recognise it and so I can't download a driver.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have had so many problems with Vista
since I got it, and long for my old Windows XP, which never gave me these
problems
- 13
- Windows Vista >> Batch file copyI have short cut to a batch file that copies files from a network server to
the local machine. It works fine on XP, but it won't work on Vista Home.
I've tried right clicking on the short cut and saying "Run as Administrator"
and that doesn't work either. When I open a DOS prompt window and type the
copy command there, I get an "Access Denied" error. So I'm guessing the
batch file is executing properly, it's just failing on all the copy commands.
I CAN manually drag and drop the files from the server to the local machine
- I just want a way to do it automatically through a batch file.
I don't normally use Vista, so I may be missing something fairly basic here.
Sorry, if that's the case.

- Windows Vista >> I want 64 bitI bought a Toshiba Satellite Turion 64 (TL-58), and it has Vista Home
Premium 32 bit installed. I read MS doesn't support OEM installed OS's. I
take it there are two options;
1. Get Toshiba to send me a Vista Home Premium 'recovery disk set' with the
64 bit edition on it
2. Just buy Vista Home Premium 64 bit (standard, not upgrade) myself and
install it.
Have I missed anything?
TIA,

- Windows Vista >> Protected Zone in VistaI wanted to post this message in the Security forum of Vista but Vista would
not help me to find my forgotten username and password; kept merely
rejecting my various entry attempts. Good security.
When my friends ask me how I am finding Vista as compared with XP, I merely
tell them that I have found no new features or functionality.There are only
more autocratic and annoying controls and Vista tries to organize things for
user without giving him the freedom to decide whether he wants his files,
folders, task bars, toolbars and what not by Vista's own idiosyncratic
ideas.
Today I found the Internet Explorer denying me access to the web-page of
Star World, a TV channel seen in Asia, when I tried to see the channel
schedule for today. Obviously, it is idiotic to bar me from a web-page which
I frequently check and should not suggest any harm to the most sensitive
nose of any security expert. There are already three other security barriers
raised by Vista, operational in my system: 1) Firewall, 2) Malware
protection and 3) Other security settings. On the top of that now comes the
Protected zone which is supposed to protect the user from malware.
Could Microsoft not have provided at least the option of excluding web-pages
listed by the User in his Favourites list, since those are pages which he
probably visits regularly? No such luck. I got so annoyed with this imposed
control that I went and unticked the box enabling this idiotic control which
has a meaning only if a child is using a computer and is trying to reach a
site by-passing parental control.
I hope the Security experts of Micorsoft put this message also on the
Security Forum, since I cannot remember the username and password assigned
to me.

I don't think there is any action on your part that would help. You will
have to wait for the Update site to straighten out whatever that error is.
The MS site seems to have "ServicePackitis" today. :/

- Windows Vista >> DreamScene bug reportHi,
Can someone please point out where I can report bugs in Windows
Vista? Here are the details:
1) Install DreamScene
2) Set the desktop background to vid1337.mpg (the default animation
that comes with it)
3) Maximize a window
4) Either click on the "Show Desktop" icon many times fast or keep
WindowsKey+D down
5) The bug is that the background animation flickers. Whenever "Show
Desktop" is invoked the first frame of the animation displays for a
split second before the correct frame is rendered and the animation
resumes where it left off.
6) Expected behavior: the animation should resume where it left off
and not display the first frame
This is reproducible 100% of the time on my machine. It is easier
to spot if you use another video as your background where the
difference between the first frame and other frames are far more
noticeable.

- Windows Vista >> high cpu usage, youtube videos won't buffer all the way,i have a hp pc with over 2 gigs of memory and had a best buy tech support
check the hardware, which was fine, so they said it is a software problem.
The problems i 've been having are youtube videos or any type of videos that
buffer will only play for 20-35 seconds. Instant messenger will not work, it
will sign off after each message is sent. Any website that requires loading
such as paypal to go to another screen locks up, and the cpu usage is
extremely high. I have reinstalled windows several times from the hard disk
and from the recovery ones I had made at best buy. I have tried contacting
hp cuz my pc is still under warranty but they seem to have forgot about me.
The tech at best buy said to do a "destructive restore" cuz the regular
restore doesn't completely wipe it out. How do i do a destructive or is
there a better solution to the problem thanks for any help

- Windows Vista >> Using Japanese IMEHey,
I'm using Home Premium and I wanted to change the language imput method
to Japanese. I've been to the keyboard and Languages section and added
the Japanese keyboard layout, but when I select that layout and start
typing, it still outputs in English.
I understand you can't install additional IME's onto this edition of
Vista, but I shouldn't need to do that unless I wanted to change the
whole language of the OS to Japanese - I simply want to type in
Japanese output (preferably with the choice between Hiragana and
Katakana). Is this possible with an English version of the OS or am I
wrong about the additional languages thing?
Thanks!
