    - Email I rebooted my computer and it did not recognize my Outlook 2003 email account. It welcomed me to Outlook and asked me to set up an account which I eventually did but now my account has no record of all my previous emails. It also kept asking me to tour XP as if I just installed it. My other programs seem to be OK but other office programs such as word, excell etc. show no evidence of my being there before. The big problem is Outlook and the loss of my email. Can anyone help? Does it have anything to do with IE 7? Tom Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews? Tag: 44750

    - backups When I run the reccommended backups for the Small Business Accounting it will shuffle the order of the items listed in customers invoices. (NOTE) Frequently my customers will have open partially paid invoices for as long as a year or more due to the nature of the business. Anyone know of a way to stop this as I really need the chronological order of the sales to be reflected on the invoice. Cheers Dave Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews?

    - O.T. - I'm not surprised! Just read this on THG Daily: February 13, 2007 14:19 A Department of Justice audit has found that the Federal Bureau of Investigation loses approximately three laptops per month. The FBI loses the majority of the laptops, about 2.64 a month, through simple forgetfulness while 1 laptop a month is stolen. or, is the answer that the 2.64 is 'Home' versions, while the 1 is 'x64'?

    - Problem with loading install from XP cd room with XP 64 @ HD. Got one raptordisk ----> XP 64 pro Problem: need a fast reliable way to switch back and forwards XP 64 pro and XP home version ^^eg. Fdisk,format,xp setup boot from cd whatever BUT the xp vanillahome OEM disk keeps booting xp64 without giving me the option of nuking my xp 64 pro INSTALL. ofc I have tried to setup up BOOT cd room from Bios, but to no avail i keeps jumping straight to the logon screen in XP 64 pro instead of giving me the BSOWDYWTD (Blue screen of "what do you want to do") essentially I canÂ´t access Fdisk I realise i could prolly try swapping around HdÂ´s and fiddling around with startup disks. ThereÂ´s alot of advice that starts from Putting in a Win OS in the CD rom drive and then getting *BOOTING of the cd sans LOADING the current WIN OS eg. the options of having your way with WHATEVER is installed on ur HdÂ´s but the part BEFORE that is what IÂ´m asking about But most of all I want to ID the sources of these errors. USB keyboard? BIOS Version? Other hardware? I can not see why hardware should be an issue here since I can boot the OS and have no problem running it. Is there a way FORCE fdisk or DOS prompt on reboot? Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews? Tag: 44735

    - framedyn.dll at http://www.jarra.nl/indes.php?p=69. All suggestions found at http://www.jarra.nl/indes.php?p=69 to fix my problem with framedyn.dll have not worked. I do not have Spybot anymore all the others did. Could that be the problem. If it is how do I correct it without downloading spybot again. Would Quicktim Player still be part of the problem too? Would I be able to have Windows XP Professional downloaded from Microsoft If I have proof tha I did buy my first program. How do I go about this?

    - framedyn.dll & http://www.jarra.nl/index.php?p=69 Everyone that had the same problem was able to find a solution because they all had Spybot on their computer and Quicktime Player was causing the problems. There solution was to remove quicktime player from interfering with Spybot. I have done the oposite, I uninstalled Spybot. I am assuming since I no longer have Spybot that is what is causing the problem. Do I have to have Spybot in order to correct this? I really didn't care for it and didn't need it. Could that be why I cann't locate framedyn.dll anywhere in my computer? Do I still need to try to see if Quicktime Player is interfering some how and where would I look?

    - framedyn.dll This message appears everytime I try to open microsoft word 2000 and several other programs including system restore. " framedyn.dll was not found try reinstalling it." I've tried over and over and I cannot fix it. When I try to pull up microsoft word 2000 the initial picture will come up on the screen but then it does nothing but sits there until I finally have to turn off the computer. You can't minimize it, expand it or close it. The message about framedyn.dll comes up on several different programs but I can at least close them out. I have a feeling that what they are supposed to open with has been changed. Some of them for example are trying to open with "500200_inventory" Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews? Tag: 44715

    - IIS 6.0 and .Net 1.1 2.0 on windows server x64 We are building a new server for the web and I am thinking of getting it with the 64 bit version of windows so I can utilize the above 4GB memory support without going enterprise. I have several web sites, some are ASP.Net 2.0 but most are ASP.Net 1.1 I read that I can make IIS 6.0 run in 32 bit mode but does that mean all sites are run on 32 bit mode or just 1.1 sites, how does that impact performance?

    - Realtek Soundcard I've installed Vista Ultimate 64bit a few times and usually my onboard realtek souncard has worked. But now that I'm wanting to keep the install that I have, no sound. I have a HP Pavilion a1450n computer. HP only has soundcard drivers for the 32bit version of Vista and the realtek drivers won't install. If I select the realtek soundcard from device manager I get the BSOD (stop message). Using the drivers from realtek does no good either. I have 3 soundcards, 2 M-Audio cards, and none work. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried every driver imaginable with no luck. I've thought of reformatting and starting over thinking since it worked at one point maybe I have a bad install.

    - How to use Windows Packager Hi, I just recently descovered the program called Packager, and it looks like a very useful program. From what I have gathered, you can use it to add an icon to certain files. Is that correct? Because I would like to be able to make an HTML page with an icon. Anyway, whenever I "import" something like an HTML file, or anything for that matter, and place in an icon, and "Copy Package", I click paste where it is supposed to go, just like it says in the help section, it pastes "scrap.shs", and it has a shs icon. Is that what it is supposed to do? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. thanks, nonybd Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews? Tag: 44658

    - Updating from XP 64 to Vista 64 I am thinking about updating to the Vista Home Premium and want to install the 64bit version. I am currently running XP 64 and have no desire to go back to 32 bit. Question I have is...if I buy Vista Home Premium, can I download the 64 bit version since it doesn't come with it or do I have to wait for it to be shipped to me? I would pay the extra $10.00 and buy the 64 bit disk either way, I just don't want to have to wait for it to ship to me to install it. I really don't want to go to the additional expense for the Ultimate edition just to be able to install it the same day I buy it. Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews?

    - Internet Explorer Crashes with Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Hello, I just wanted to share my experience hoping it will be helpful. The problem I was confronted with occurred when I used Internet Explorer 7: it always crashed (even with only 1 tab opened). I tried the 32-bit version of IE, but it still crashed. I also tried to use the no add-on version but it crashed. The "solution" I came up with was to disable the Protected Mode and it worked. I submitted the problem with embedded tool every time time it occurred.

    - "My Computer" Key Not Working On Microsoft Wired Keyboard 500 I just purchased a Microsoft Wired 500 PS/2 keyboard. Everything seems to be working great except the "My Computer" key doesn't seem to work. Every other hotkey works fine, including Mail, Internet Explorer Home, Favorites, Volume Control, Mute, Windows Media Player and Calculator. I'm using Windows XP x64 Professional with the standard drivers. I have tested the keyboard on another PC running Windows XP Home. The "My Computer" key seems to work on that PC no problem. I switched keyboards (the other keyboard is a similar corded Microsoft Keyboard) and tried the "My Computer" Key on that keyboard and it didn't respond on my PC either. So, I wonder if this is a Windows x64 problem, or perhaps some other software issue. Any ideas on how to fix this or why this key isn't working? Would this have something to do with the Human Interface Devices service or is that just for USB devices? Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews? Tag: 44565

    - inconsistent performance issue on Vista X64bit I currently run Vista x64 on my gateway laptop 7510gx with 2 gig ram and dedicated 4 gig lexar lightning 2 for readyboost feature. Of course, with no onboard sound available for vista x64, I had to plug in my creative audigy 2ZS to get sound. After a couple days of testing the performance of this combination setup with some basice web surfing and reading email, video chat on yahoo messenger and listen to music through window media player 11. I found that the system freezed up sometime due to high CPU usage. Normally it wouldn't be a problem with window xp. Especially when video chat and surfing the web and have outlook opened. The system freezed for awhile due to much processing in background and have to wait for awhile for it to get back to normal. If I kept clicking or switching between applications it won't do nothing but queue up the processes, even won't be able to bring up the taskmanager to shutdown some application. I don't really know what caused it either poor applications written for x64 or the vista itself performance issue. and another thing is retarting and shutting down the system take at least 5 to 10 mins. And starting up take at least 10mins for system completing the starting up tasks plus sycn the superfetch and readyboost drive. Now I am really afraid to reboot or install anything that required restarting the system. Overall, multi-tasks on this system seems to be problematic. If I performed well if I only surf the web, it will be overkill for system like this just to surf the web, wouldn't it?. The quicktime player also causing some memory buffer overflow shutdown itself. I don't know if upgrading my system to vista was a good choice or not, but it was the price to pay for being on the edge of new technology.

    - Issues emerging while slipstreaming. . . O.K. - nearly there, however the 'HowTo' in this link (courtesy of Theo): http://maximumpc.com/2005/01/how_to_slipstre.html in Step 3. Says: Open the folder to which you copied your Windows XP CD (C:\xpsetupcd) and create a subfolder called $OEM$. Then, create a subfolder of $OEM$ called $1 and a subfolder of $1 called drivers. The resulting path should be C:\xpsetupcd\$OEM$\$1\drivers. Later, in step 5, this is referenced as: You'll need to customize the OemPnPDriversPath line by entering the path to the INF file for your RAID/SATA driver (for instance if your drivers are in C:\xpsetupcd\i386\$OEM$\$1\drivers\RAID use: OemPnPDriversPath=drivers\RAID\FastTrack\WinXP). I tend to think the second version should be correct - any comments? Also, the text only deals with the driver consisting of only 'one' SYS file - mine has two, and as I recall, both where listed as (Required) when I installed the last time. The text also only deals with one instance of the CPI/VEN_ description, while making a note about inserting all instances (which I did). There are five - does this mean that I should insert those five ID's twice, each for the two SYS files? I hope someone has this in fresh memory - but for these minor inconsistencies, I am ready to burn! Tony. . . Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews? Tag: 44548

    - Vista x86 MUI download links Just found this on the web. They are allegedly the MUIs for Vista x86 in several languages. The only thing I can confirm is that they are Microsoft links, so it can't be harmful. http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-es-es_a163c4bbc9c34f2e299c057ef8861f0fa3d8a76d.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-sv-se_0bb9314bb33c9c0cae897bd34147e14e11daa3b5.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-ja-jp_f563d5c82a3a156fc764fb78dc25cde8856dc251.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-pt-br_86694c7aba41372e04da9d45ce40309a3141a9e3.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-nb-no_751c84a87022d16f8270116727fbcdeb4efc841a.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-nl-nl_6ed633b7ecd8a8ae26d4196010912ae6e4ca804a.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-fi-fi_cb28440f6b925a98432acc92e59b51fbccdc5169.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-fr-fr_c5197c4631ff183b3a315f2187a6f02856bb697c.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-ru-ru_56e37b9fa209bf0334d8813372636b58744b1d3b.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-de-de_129e9e10085876706cf81f9949c31a6d9ea0a231.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-da-dk_f619cf28316a0cf623e1ef9a2e5fab630302a921.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-ko-kr_3339e4062ccbac56eed8a773024c0ffb847853d0.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-zh-cn_ac12404fd3350e08ba766c9ab774eb61ecfa7a45.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-zh-hk_b485acb744566b62d9cde2464f64068882d97d2d.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-en-us_c38cb05f3146b642c95743633998808fa5229875.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-it-it_4e18e2e79d2c77d1a1efd45eef86a54bf5f117ab.exe Carlos Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews?

    - conexant audio driver (ATI SB400 southbridge) for vista x64 When will this driver be released? or will they even bother to create one for vista x64? I got a gateway 7510gx and no driver for my internal soundcard and modem. I have to plug in the creative audigy 2zs to get some sound.

    - MS Life cam doesnt work I have just gotten a new box its an amd sempron dual core 64 bit machine with xp 64 with a Nvida geforce 7600 gt gfx card when i try and start the life cam I get can not start as you must be running at LEAST 800 by 600 and 16 bit colour, I am running 1152 by 864 32 bit so it doesnt make sense I am running better than the cam wants and it refuses to start up at all. To avoid problems i brought an MS cam for this machine so i could webcam take pics etc to show people and it does not work if MS cant make there own products 64bit ready what the hell am i supposed to do with hunk of crap that doesnt work and isnt supported I want my damn money back from MS thats the price of the puter and the cam I refuse to see why i should be expected to pay 47 pounds for suport making thier junk work no wonder gates is so rich he rips you off by not giving FREE support like he should. any help from MS in making this work would be usefull but I am not paying for a phone call or the email help fees that are probably illgal under the UK's warrenty laws Tag: Where are the "offical" Vista Newsgroups and hardware reviews?

Apropos since the OS on my new system is a VISTA ultimate.

oh btw why is it that alot of Hardware oriented sites still uses XP
5.10.2600,/ sp 2 for reference despite the fact that vista is hypernew.

Obvious answers are: New drivers and virtually no software support for dx10
and 64 bits and end users not fully migrated from xp yet.

Would appreciate some links towards Vista based system --> hardware and
software reviews.
