- Windows Vista >> Dual-Boot XP & VistaI have recently set up my computer to be able to boot either XP or Vista.
This machine, a Gateway DX420X dual core, came with XP Professional installed
and a
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 >> 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 >> 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)?

I have a Toshiba Qosmio running Vista with SP1.
When I install new software and fill out the registration info, the computer
knows my name, but not the name of my company. Instead it put in Toshiba.
Where do I change this? I have looked into the Registry but found nothing.

- Windows Vista >> How to Access Users Start MenuI just started with a new Vista Laptop and need some help setting up
some account info.
Using WinXP I simply accessed the other users Start Menu (Programs) and
edited what shortcuts would appear for each user. This was a simply way
to control the Start menu by keeping the "heavy" stuff out of view for
inexperienced users.
Can't seem to do this using Vista - the Documents and Setting folder is
not accessible even to administrator accounts and even the users own
account.
How do I edit the Start/programs menu for a user under Vista?
Thanks, in advance, Fred

- Windows Vista >> Vista = big fat bust in the home market.Shall we say that the truth is finally shining?

By Steven Burke, CMP Channel
12:00 AM EDT Mon. Sep. 17, 2007
From the September 17, 2007 issue of CRN
Digital home integrators say Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system has
been a big fat bust in the home market.
That bleak Vista view, however, has translated into healthy profits for home
integrators ripping Vista off systems and replacing the much-ballyhooed
operating system with Windows XP.
Microsoft, for its part, claims demand is strong for Vista and its momentum
is unprecedented. But digital home integrators at the D&H Distributing New
England Technology Show last month in Quincy, Mass., say they are seeing a
healthy rip-and-replace business that is winning them over new customers who
bought systems at retail.
Bunker Herbest, co-owner of Computer Essentials, a Bangor, Maine, system
builder, said out of the 40 systems a month that Computer Essentials is
building, only about five are Vista-based systems.
Herbest said his shop was ripping and replacing Vista with XP on as many as
12 systems a month. Computer Essentials, in fact, has been advertising its
ability to offer Windows XP rather than Vista.
The Vista rip-and-replace service has "definitely been good for business,"
Herbest said. "What's great is Vista is being pushed everywhere. Customers
can't find anybody to get rid of it so they come see people like us. We're
getting a couple of customers a day at least."
Herbest said consumers have been frustrated by the new Vista graphical user
interface and the pop-up security update requests. "People that used XP
can't find anything," he said. "It takes time to ramp up and learn Vista."
Douglas Lee, CFO and director of business development at BostonTech
Partners, a Canton, Mass., solution provider, said his shop is building
about 50 systems a month and every one of them is going out with Windows XP.
The only Vista-related business BostonTech is doing is ripping it off laptop
systems, Lee said. A lot of time and energy is being spent trying to replace
Vista, he said. "Microsoft should have provided the option of having XP on
laptops as opposed to Vista," he said. "There should have been an easier
downgrade method. Microsoft is force-feeding the consumer market like they
usually do. It's their way or the highway."
Lee said one problem with Vista is the 64-bit platform that the operating
system can power is not necessary for many customers.
Paul LaRochelle, president of PC Authority, a Manchester, N.H., solution
provider, said 99.9 percent of the systems from PC Authority are shipping
with Windows XP rather than Vista. Since the introduction of Vista, he said,
PC Authority has sold only a dozen copies of the operating system. "Just
because there is a new car or a bigger hard drive doesn't mean you have to
go buy it," he said.
Greg Abrams, vice president and director of technology at PC-Plus
Technologies, an Auburn, Mass., solution provider, said his business is
seeing Vista adoption from several major clients. He said about 40 percent
of the systems being shipped from PC-Plus are Vista-based, with 60 percent
XP-based. Furthermore, he said PC-Plus has been working with clients to rip
Vista off some notebook systems that lack XP drivers. As a result, he said,
PC-Plus is installing Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 for a number of clients.
Abrams praised Virtual PC 2007, which is free, for solving major application
compatibility issues so customers can run applications like Adobe Acrobat
6.0. "This is more of a [workaround] solution for our customers than a
profit-driver," he said. "It took a lot of time to figure it out and learn
how to deploy it correctly."
LaRochelle said he feels it is better to wait for the first Windows Service
Pack to come out before pushing the operating system. Microsoft has said it
plans to launch the first service pack for Windows Vista during the first
quarter of 2008.

- Windows Vista >> HP Pavilion HDX Remote Not WorkingHi everyone,
I have an HP Pavilion HDX laptop running Vista 64-bit.
I've been trying to get the HP Remote Control
(http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/EL623AA/1?jumpid=in_r329_personalization/browse2/SDP_PDP)
to operate Media Center with no success. HP Tech Support are of no help.
Here are the symptoms:
1) The remote does turn on the laptop and does bring up the Media Center if
I press the appropriate key when the laptop is OFF.
2) When the laptop is on, none of the keys on the remote work.
I checked all the obvious things about services, the event log, etc but I'm
unable to get this remote to work with Vista.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

- Windows Vista >> Connecting Desktop to LaptopI run Vista Ultimate on my d/top and WXP on my laptop and connect the two
for networking purposes with a simple crossover cable. On Network and
Sharing Centre in Vista I have configured the settings correctly, and on
this my network is identified as 'unidentified network' and shown as
'public'. I change this setting to 'private network' and all goes well. When
I reboot however the network does not work and I find in the Vista N&S
centre that the 'unidentified network' has reverted to 'public' and I have
to reset to private again.
Hope this can be understood- my question is -how do I keep this setting on
'private network'?

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 :(

How about this, boot the system, start tapping F8, when the menu appears, I
believe there's an option for "Last known successful boot or login" or
something similar. If that fails, have him boot again, tapping F8 as
before, at the menu, select "Safe Mode." Once in Safe Mode, have him try
using System Restore to take his setup back to a time prior to when this
began, Start Men\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

Thanks Michael for the quick response!
Unfortunately, i had him try that and he couldn't even access 'Safe
Mode' Tapping F8 did nothing.
Any other suggestions (other than the 'last ditch' ones i gave him??)

If he can't get into Safe Mode and he has no disks, I'd suggest calling the
manufacturer's tech support, they might have a suggestion or a means of
dealing with this type of situation.

Windows Vista >> Login Process Initialization Failure Error Message - HELP!
Today, I faced a similar situation. I tried everything from safe mode,
restore from a good place, boot from the disk, and nothing works. I called
Dell since I have a new Inspiron 1521 model. They told me I need to reformat
hard disk and loose my data. If I need to back up my data, then I need to
pay a third party to do it.
I found away to solve this problem.
1) First I boot up to a C:\ prompt. This does not invoke Windows. Thus, I
did not face this issue.
2) Then, I attached an external harddrive using USB.
3) From C:\ prompt, you try to access the external hard drive. You may have
to guess the drive name. It can be E:\, F:\ or G:\.
4) Then you use "copy" or "xcopy" to copy files & directories that you want
to back up from C:\.
5) Once you have back up everything from C:\ drive to external drive. You
are ready to reformat your hard drive.
6) Of course, you have to go through the entire new installation and copy
files from external drive to your system.
For me, I have about 3 GB worth of data and it took about 2 hours to do the
whole procedure above. It is painful especially if you have a lot of
applications that you installed after getting the computer.
I hope the information helps people that want to get their data back before
reformating the hard disk.
I would be grateful to know what causes this fatal error and what I can do
to prevent it from happens in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Quoc

- 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?

- 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 >> 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 >> 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.

- 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,
Creative SoundBlaster X-FI Audio, Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse, Logitech
Premium Stereo Headset, external Lacie USB 500gb backup drive.
