- Windows Vista >> runaway svchost <= wudfsvc ? constantly accessingHi,
I had the exact same symptom after setting up a NAS to house user files. chased down the syncing issue and all. I killed the process tree thread of svchost that appeared to be the culprit, and the access stopped.
It returned after maybe 5 minutes. Have you unconvered anything else about this symptom?
I did find that wudfsvc is "Windows Driver Foundation - User -mode Driver Framework" It shows up i the services under this name, but cannot be stopped.

- Windows Vista >> Can't delete registry keyI went to upgrade Nero 8 to the latest update and could not install so I
removed Nero 8 completely. However, there are still some keys that won't
delete in the reg. I tried Nero's Clean Tools but no luck. Updating the
software won't work because I get an error that it can't access a key in the
registry (InCD, which is not and does not install in Vista/Nero 8). I've
tried safe mode as well as 3 registry cleaners with no luck. What's the
secret to deleting these registry keys.
I'm using Vista Ultimate.
Thanks

NON-RC installation disk.
At that time, I had turned off Windows updates automatic feature.
New system
Workgroup, NOT Domain
I tried to manually obtain updates, but received error code 8024D00A
Windows Help suggested that I might have IE set to use a proxy server. I
verified that the computer is not set to use a proxy server.
I also tried as "Administrator". Same error message.
I tried using "Windows Update" as well as manually going to
www.microsoft.com/updates [ which instructed me to use the "Windows Update"
utility.
I am using Vista's firewall.
I hope you can help me.

- Windows Vista >> Vista issues !!I was happy when I moved to Vista but could not understand why MS
takes a step back, namely:
1. Why would they remove all the useful buttons from Explorer like,
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. You have Map drive but no DELETE??? which
do you use more often? Yes you can use the keyboard but why take your
hand off the mouse if you dont have to. What happened to Customize
button bar?
2. What the heck is the deal with Organize? You have the same
functions under Edit. Why cant they provide a button to make New
Folder ? That is the most needed feature in Explorer.
3. Why does my laptop simply shuts down without warning, no sound, no
popup nothing. Yes i changed the Low battery notification. Still no
avail.
4. Startup: totally blank screen ! Where is the progress bar?
5. Shutdown: totally blank screen ! Where is the progess bar?
6. What happened to Webcam application. How am I going to test/adjust
my webcam? What if I want to take a picture? In control panel there
is Scanners and Cameras but nothing in it !! These were all right
there in XP...WTF???
I hope all these are fixed in SP1. If not I am going back to good ol
XP !!!

- Windows Vista >> Desktop backgroundSomehow we lost the desktop background we had set. Went through the process
of selecting a photo background for the desktop and none of the photos that
came with the windows vista program will apply. Neither will any of our own
photos. The only background that will show up are the plain color settings.
The photos are available in the selection window but they won't apply. How
do we get the photo with the black and white leaf to show up again on the
desktop? Please help.

Windows Vista >> Open With Problem
I have Vista and a program called Xtreme Pro.
Clicking on the .xar file a window opens that allows me to select Open With,
Browsing to the Xtreme.exe and selecting it will not accept my selection.
If I run the application Xtreme.exe and then click on the file it loads OK.
I have tried all variations in the Open With window and nothing.
Is this just Vista mucking around again!!??

- Windows Vista >> Integrated Webcam problemsI have a laptop HP Pavilion dv6451 with Vista Ultimate and an integrated
webcam. My problem is that the webcam seems to not be released after I finish
a video call, so the next time I try to have a video call I get the message
that "the camera is not plugged in to the computer or it is beeing used in a
video call by another program". As I said, the camera is integrated to the
computer so it is plugged, and I have no other program running. I have tried
uninstalling the web cam drivers and installing them again; I have stopped
and started the device through the Windows Image Acquisition Service to no
use.
Does anyone has this problem? Any help?

- Windows Vista >> Real world stability on VistaThe link below is to an article that describes how 28.8% of Vista crashes in
2007 were caused by NVIDIA drivers. No, that isn't a typo, that is almost one
third of all crashes. Take away NVIDIA and stability increases by an order of
magnitude. You may track the class action suit against NVIDIA. IMHO this is
huge and makes the "Vista Capable" class action suit look like sour grapes.
The article goes on to describe bad drivers, the companies that make them,
and their reluctance to update them.
http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/28/0326209
If you can't tell, I read /. They hate Windows more than the people in this
group, but they do it with intelligence and humor, not crude insults.

- Windows Vista >> Vista TroublesAll,
I have been using Vista business on my laptop for a couple of months now.
For the past few days, out of the blue, I have started getting really
annoying little problems with it. Here are some samples:
1) I cannot use the Search box in Internet Explorer. It lists all search
providers and I could choose one. I could even enter the search text, but
when I press the Enter key or click on the "Search" button it does nothing
2) When I open "Find" in IE and click on the "Next" button, I get an
Automation server error.
3) When I open Windows Explorer and double click on a folder it opens in
a new Window although in the Folder options for the computer, the drive and
the folder that I am double clicking on has that set to open in same window.
4) In IE the "Menu Bar", "Work Offline", "Full Screen" menu items are
always greyed out. When I right click on a link and click "Open in New Tab",
or "Open in New Window" nothing happens.
5) Clicking on a link that opens a new window stays blank and a "App
Busy" cursor is displayed over it.
I am not sure what more is broken inside, yet I don't remember
installing / uninstalling anything that would break Windows. I have a
feeling that all these problems are linked to one solution, but I have not
had luck finding a solution for it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Eswar

- Windows Vista >> I cracked the Vista Code! (Christmas special)Merry Christmas! Here's a little story on how I cracked the "Vista Code
'!
During the time after Vista's release I noticed a group of people actually
liked the new Microsoft OS.
The more they used it the more they liked it. Now this was disturbing. As a
person of technology, I saw right away that Vista
had an alarming amount of problems and very low quality. I was a beta tester
long before it was officially released, and the more I used it, the more
disgusted I became with vista.
Normally there should not be not even one person on this planet who would
actually like vista. But there were... and some liked it with fanatism!
There must be a reason why there was a hardcore fan group that ignored all
facts given to them, testimonies by hundreds of people.
Of course they were dumb, but they could not be THAT dumb.
So I started looking for an explanation.... perhaps there was something
about vista that made a group of people like it while others would be immune
to its influence.
Perhaps there was a missing code that was waiting to be cracked!
Then in a flash, an idea came to me!!!
Perhaps there was something in the actual display of vista that was somehow
effecting the user?
Now I did not use a 3d accelerated directX10 compatible card with vista on
my test machine.. so I never had the "aero glass" effect.
But I noticed that almost everyone who was a vista fanatic was using this
aero glass interface!
Perhaps this was a clue to unravel the vista mystery!
What I did was to rig a high resolution beta video tape recorder onto an
aero glass capable machine and recorded the video output..
I then studied the results of the recording frame by frame. As one would
suspect I did not see anything at all. Perhaps my hunch was wrong.
But then I remembered vista has DRM technology. Like some DVD's are able to
detect when a recording device is connected to its output, perhaps Vista
also had this capability, thus it was hiding its true nature???
I had to avoid all electronic devices... so I did the unimaginable.. I found
an old film camera I used for special effects and animations, and I rigged
it
up in front of the vista screen. I set up the machine to record twice as
fast as normally, in film you have 24 frames per second, so I doubled the
speed to 48. If there was something on the vista display I would catch it
this time.
And I DID!!!! After the recording and studying of the film I noticed flashes
of faint letters forming words on the Vista screen! These flashes lasted
only a split of a second, or about 1/50th of a second, but they were there!
The words and phrases all were positive propaganda towards vista!
Vista is good, vista is fantastic etc... other phrases were like this, you
are happy, you feel good.. etc.!!
I knew I found the REASON!!! THAT was why some of the users were totally
brainwashed about vista. Because they WERE being brainwashed!
From my studies in the human mind .. I knew that if you flashed images or
words in front of the eyes of the viewer fast enough, their conscious mind
would not see them, but the unconscious part of their mind would!
Vista has been brainwashing you to like it!
So there you have it, and now you know.....
note: the above story is fictional, dah....
