- 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

- 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....

- Windows Vista >> Open With ProblemI 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 >> 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 >> 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 >> 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 >> Vista Updates 8024D00AWindows Vista Ultimate 32 bit, installed Feb 2007
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 >> Network password issues in VistaHello,
We have rolled out a few Vista PCs on in our company and we have
realized a possible issue. We require our users to change their
password every 3 months. We have found that when a users password
expires on a Vista machine they are prompted to change the password
but they never get the confirm password box so they are not able to
set the password and we have to manually set it in Active Directory.
Anyone have similar issues or know of a fix for this?

- Windows Vista >> Smashing down AlexB, and revealing his true natureI am posting here some stuff that AlexB has said in this newsgroup.
He has hatred for all different kind of people that are not white like
blacks,
indans, arabs... even white people who do not "fit" into his ideology
His whole ideology is so perverted and cruel that I was shocked to read
through his posts. Whenever he was not talking about computers
he was uncovering something that looks very dark sinister. Perhaps he is the
incarnation of Hitler himself!
An here is the proof:
>> You are an IDIOT, Mr. Maya. Your ancestors were not very
>> smart people to begin with. You must have inherited quite a bit of their
>> stupidity.
This idiot is calling the Mayas stupid? He not only is a racist, but his
hate is so deep that it extends throughout history.
>A-Alias is a terrorist advocate. For him MS bashing has a goal but the rest
>of those scumbags? What are they thinking about? Free software? It is a
>joke! It is a BAD joke. It does not make any sense for the economy. It does
>make no sense to anybody except for people who want to pretend that they
>are
>capable to design a part of an OS. It may be a good training ground for
>some
so be it.
AlexB calls everyone he dislikes a terrorist or a communist, and he is
trying to discredit the open source
movement,
the same movement that is helping so many people join the computing world
with little or no cost.
A good example of this is the "laptop for children of developing countries"
I guess AlexB does not care
about the children either. Let them rot he thinks!
> Frank is a principled person with integrity but you are a piece of cr*ap.
AlexB never fails to show his admiration for another total loser, FRANK. Yes
these two are buddies, but there is no doubt that AlexB will stab Frank in
the back some time, because hey.. that's what nazi friends are for!
>By Europe you mean Eastern Europe where people are too poor to buy
>legitimate OS, thus they buy computers with Ubuntu, rip it off and install
>pirated Windows made in China. It's been well documented even by your own
>Ubuntoids.
AlexB is accusing all people from Eastern Europe to be Crooks (his favorite
word)... his hatred is growing and growing.
>There is a vicious and totally not objective crowd in this forum that

>total lies and unfounded criticism about Vista. IMHO they have divergent

A HATER of all human kind knows that a good way to make himself look good,
is to make
everyone else look awful.
That is why above he is throwing such accusations, he is trying to make
himself look benevolent while in reality he is the person with true sinister
motives.
>And the last category consists of people who just do not have enough brains
>to handle Vista. Since it is impossible for them to admit their inadequacy
>they think that MS screwed up and developed a system that is simply bad.
Oh yes our little alexB believes in superior RACE... lets locate all the
people we THINK
are dumb and lets destroy them and their families.
>Alias is a Palestinian born in Spanish Morocco, family migrated to Spain,
>then the US when he was about 12. His first name is Jamail.
>He wants to look like the person in the cartoon, claiming he is Irish, has
>blue eyes and blond hair. He is none of that. His mother's tongue is
>Arabic.
>He speaks Arabic, Spanish and English.
>He dreams of the time when the Patriot Act will be revoked and he and his
>Muslim "brothers" could take guns thru airport security gates. Hussein
>Obama
>will do it for them.
This IDIOT AlexB clearly shows us that he things that people with blue eyes
and blond hair are somehow a SUPERIOR race. Spaniards and arabs who are
darker
are not equal. He managed to throw in some hate for Muslims and Obama who
happens to be black!
>You may be voting in the US but you were not born here. As far as your
>dreams of Hussein Obama becoming President, keep dreaming. If he is
>nominated, it will be a Republican landslide greater than Reagan over
>Carter. It will be something to behold.
More dirt about Obama (probably because he is black ), and discrimination
between voters. Voters are voters , and you are SCUM!
>You don't speak good English, On The Bridge. This passage below betrays you
>as a foreigner. English is foreign to you. You translate.
Its funny that this alexb is making fun of other people about their English
when he in fact
comes across like an illiterate idiot!
>I am sure, you, crook, are irrigated by my posts and with low IQ you cannot
>comprehend most of what I am saying.
IRRIGATED????? Proof of this stupid idiots ALEXB illiteracy! He is saying
"you cannot comprehend most of what Im saying"
How can we comprehend when you you are irrigating all the time... LOL LOL
LOL
>I checked your blog. Sorry, you won't find me sympathetic. I am a hard core
>Republican without a religious bend.
>A member of my family spent a year in Iraq. He is a fairly high ranking
>officer in the US Armed Forces.
>Your blog su*cks. You are playing into terrorists hands. Who wants us out
>of
>Iraq? Osama bin Laden. You are one of his associates.
No wonder this kid has so much hate for everyone.. its truly sad.
There is far more and some is worse...
But this is enough for you all to get the picture, the grim dark sinister
picture of who this idiot AlexB is and what he thinks.

- 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
