- Windows Vista >> upgrades when offlineI have Vista running on a laptop that is very rarely connected to the net. I
have noticed that even when it is not connected it will 'install upgrades',
last night spending a good 15 minutes doing so before I was allowed to shut
down.
If these upgrades were downloaded at a previous online session, why does it
wait for an offline session to install them?
(apologies if you've already encountered this post in the XP forum)

- 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 >> Installing software, Company Name isn't my name?Greetings,
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 >> 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 >> Capturing chkdsk resultsI know that if you run chkdsk on a non operating system drive, it will
run within windows and you can see the results in the event log. But
when you run chkdsk on the OS drive, you have to do it with a restart
and the results aren't saved in the event log. How do you capture
chkdsk results on the OS drive?

- 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 >> "Deactivate" VistaHi,
I have a retail copy of Vista which I wish to "deactivate" because I have an

How does one "deactivate" the retail copy of Vista?
TIA

- 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 >> Internet Explorer problem in VistaI am starting to get an error when in eBay and when using Internet Explorer
7. I am told that my computer is rejecting cookies. I have cookies enabled
to accept 1st and 3rd party cookies under "Privacy". So, two questions:
1. Is there some other setting I am overlooking to allow cookies?
2. If not, I want to uninstall Explorer (or first try to repair), but I
cannot find anyway to do either in Vista.
Any help would be appreciated.

- 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.

doubt Avast Home Edition is my preferred AV but regarding firewall I
am not sure whether I should keep Vista's default firewall or go in

What do you think will be the best choice?

- 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,

Premium Stereo Headset, external Lacie USB 500gb backup drive.

- 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!

- 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 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?

keyboard keys to the mouse buttons, you simple select the mouse button you
want to customize and press they key (or keys) you want it to activate and

- 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.
