- Windows Vista >> Problems while switching usersHi.
I just installed vista ultimate with SP1, and I've encountered some strange
behavior. When I first log into an account everything works fine, but when I
switch to a second account, or even log off the first one and then open
another, vista makes some problems. For example, the welcome screen appears
empty, no program is shown on the taskbar, and not all the notification icons
show up. Further more, it seems that the CPU start working hard for no
apparent reason, and if I open My Computer, it seems empty.
Does anyone knows why it happens or how to solve it?
Thanks,
Yoni

- Windows Vista >> Sigma Tel Audio Driver update for sp1I called microsoft yesterday asking what will be done via this problem for
those who cannot get updated drivers for the Sigma Tel audio driver. The
problem is Sigma no longer makes audio drivers and passed it off to another
company who told me they are not making updated drivers at all for this type
of audio codec.
So how do you get updated drivers if you cannot? I have been on many forums
via Dell and Gateway and thousand of customers have the same problem.
First microsoft was giving advise to uninstall the driver and allow Vista to
find its own drivers for this.
Many did this and found they still had no sound.
Microsoft also said to uninstall drivers, put sp1 on and then reput back the
driver for sigman tel.
Many who did this found after the sp1 install, when trying to put back the
driver, Vista now came back with an error msg saying "This driver is not
compatable for Vista"
so they wound up again with no sound.
Well after talking to the tech and he confirmed that this is what was being
said- now when people call in they are telling them not do do anything and
wait because microsoft is working on a solution to this.
They say it will show up in Windows Update either a patch or fix for this
problem.
I received this morning an email from microsoft that I am passing in here,
some of the info like email or confirmation number has been taken out just
for security.
see below
this will confirm what microsoft told me, I received an email today
This is Smitha Nair with Microsoft Windows Technical Support.
I am following up regarding your Windows service request . Here is an
outline of the steps that we agreed upon during our call:
Problem Description:
Needs information on installing service pack 1 on a computer with sigmatel
audio drivers.
Troubleshooting Performed:
We did not perform any troubleshooting onthe computer.
Action Plan:
Kindly wait for further updates from microsoft which addresses the sigma
audio driver compatibilty issues with service pack1.
My goal is to ensure that your experience with Microsoft Windows Technical
Support leaves you pleased with our products and services.
If you have any feedback regarding Microsoft support, we would be glad to
hear from you. If you would feel more comfortable speaking with someone

your comments and suggestions.

- Windows Vista >> WMV fileSometimes when I enjoy some type WMV file I see online and want to save it,
when I go to Temporary Internet Files, it's converted to a DAT file. In WIN
XP, it's in WMV so I can copy it to another folder if I want to keep it. Why
doesn't Vista display the same info in temporary internet files as XP does?

- Windows Vista >> Vista not rendering 3D...I recently upgraded to Vista. I formatted my hard drive and did a clean
install. After installing current drivers for my video card and nforce4
board I installed World of Warcraft. Whe I tried to load it I got this:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n273/wrobes21/pic040208_2.jpg
Sorry for the poor quality. My phone is garbage and screen was hard to see.
Imagine that tiled across a 22" display (without the red spot of course).
So it doesn't work. Ok, I try to exit out of the game and my desktop now
looks like this:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n273/wrobes21/pic040208_3.jpg
I can do nothing so I reboot.
I went to the WoW forums to see if they could help and a tech said that
something is stopping my computer from rendering 3D. He said to reinstall
video and directx drivers. So I did and it didn't help. He then said that it
could be a hardware issue. I told him that before I upgraded everything ran
fine. I played games without any issues. I'm sure if I went back to XP right
now I'd would have no problems. Could it still be a hardware issue if 3D
works on one OS and not another?
Any help would be appreciated. I'll be more than willing to provide any
information needed. Thank you.

- Windows Vista >> Please BAN all posts that have "FYI" in themThere is a dumb troll that keeps using "FYI" in his/her posts...
this troll is the epitome of stupidity!!! Its creating long useless threads
where its arguing with itself
but sucks in other posters that have not caught on to this treachery
Please ban all messages containing "FYI"
Users can do this creating a rule in their newsreader, or if Microsoft could
do that, it would be great....
thank you

- Windows Vista >> GrrrrrrrrrIt taken me all morning to cut 3 Cd's (incl LightScribing which was a total
pain but thats another story)
I burned them as mp3 (data disc) using Windows (not media player - altho i
expect there is a connection)
None of them work because Vista has included some picture files - and as a
result my DVD recognises it as a picture disc
How do I stop Vista adding picture files and just burn the mp3's I told it
to?

- Windows Vista >> Vista Service Pack 1 killed Office 2007 & it won't install or repaI have Vista Home Premium & Office 2007 installed. I have not been getting
updates for months due to a hanging install of a microsoft.net 1.1 update.
It offers the .net update daily & after dozens of unsuccessful tries it has
finally installed - thus allowing 6 months of windows & office updates to
install.
Next the .net update starts showing up again & freezing out other updates.
Finally it installs again, and vista sp1 appears & installs.
NOW office 07 won't work & says "outlook (or excel, word, etc) is not
installed for the current user. Please re-install. Well it won't reinstall or
repair. Repair doesn't show up as an option in control panel, and when you
try to install from disc it just crashes almost immediately.
Of course - now I am getting the same microsoft.net 1.1 update offer which
will not install & is giving me error code EO434F4D which can't be found in
the microsoft database.
Can anyone help me please?

- Windows Vista >> Live links in Windows MailI am unable to access internet live links from Windows Mail.
When I try, I get -
'Internet Explorer has stopped working' 'a problem caused the program to
stop working correctly'
'Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available',
which of course it does not!
The same applies if I click Start / Help and Support - I am unable to access
any of the live
links under 'Ask Someone'.
I have posed this question in microsoft/public/windows/vista/mail but they
are unable to help.
I am trying to find a solution without having to pay Microsoft £40+.
Any light that can be thrown on this matter would be much appreciated.

- Windows Vista >> Vista freezes when logging offHi
Is anyone out there that could help me. I have a sony vaio VGC-LA1. I've
upgraded the OS to Vista thanks to a free upgrade from Sony. However when I'm
shutting down the pc, it keeps saying logging off and then freezes. There's
very little on the pc as I had to get the hard-drive replaced. Used the
recovery disc back to its factory settings, then upgraded to Vista. Only
program that may be causing problems is Norton Antivirus? Also occasionally
the screen just goes black/grey. Any ideas what's happening here? And how it
can be resolved? Many thanks

- Windows Vista >> Vista 64 Mouse/Focus IssueHi,
I'm having a problem using Windows Vista 64 bit. Occasionally every one
minute to an hour, my mouse will not click anything on the screen anymore.
This happens in both Windows and in games. The only way to rectify the issue
is to ctrl-alt-delete, and choose to open the task manager. From this point,
I am able to click again.
I believe that explorer or the active game is losing focus, to an invisible
application. I have tried using three different mice, fully reinstalled
mouse drivers (and any hidden mouse drivers), removed any running software or
processes which were active.
I'm not quite sure where to go from here, and I'm practically ready to
reinstall Windows if I cannot find a solution.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If I attempt to run any default Windows DreamScene Content as my desktop, it
runs for 5-10 secs then crashes with a message "DreamScene has had an

colour. My video card has 256mb onboard memory.
Any ideas?

- Windows Vista >> Uninstalling Kodak Easy Share SoftwareI had Kodak Easy Share v2.1 on my computer. I went under Programs and
Features and removed it. Now whenever I restart my computer, an error message
comes up that says it cannot find kodak application. When I go under Programs
and Features, the kodak icon still appears. It isn't taking up any space on
my hard drive but it is annoying to have that error message pop up every time
I start my computer. Any ideas of what I can do?

- Windows Vista >> Bug? in showing gridlines.Hello,
I have this problem since installed windows vista: in some softwares i can
not see the gridlines correctly, part of the grid area turn to white, and
some other parts show the old result when i click page up or page down.
This happens in excel (office 2007), in Vfp, ...
In Visual studio another annoying thing happens: when i change window and
the new window shows up, i can still see parts of the old window; if i click
in the area, the new contents appear, but sometimes i have to guess what
should be there, because i can click in some button that stays invisible for
me, there.
I suspect that this problems will occur with other softwares.
Does anyone have this behaviour with Vista? If so, how do you solve it?
TIA,
Joaquim

- Windows Vista >> Vista Activation transferDoes Vista have a method of verifying activation status
when activation has been transfered to another computer?
I recently built a new system and activated my Retail
Vista License on that machine. Interestingly, the "old"
machine no longer will finish booting it "hangs" shortly
after starting and a network connection never occurs. Is
there some "deactivation" scheme to prevent a user from
running more than one copy of the program?
Not complaining just wanted to know.

- Windows Vista >> Adding memory and Vista activationI got a simple question...
I have a DELL E521 computer which came with MS Vista Home Premium OEM and 2
GB of memory installed and I want to add 2 GB more.
My question :
Do I have to call the Microsoft "India" vista activation center, because I
add more memory?
**The reason why I say "India", is because I always get someone from India
and you can't understand what there saying with the numbers there telling
you over the phone to enter in the boxes. I rather get someone I can
understand in texas or somewhere in the USA.
