    - Control Panel doesn't show up in Vista SOLVED Since yesterday I had this problem accessing the Control Panel in Vista, the only thing I changed to the system was adding a Hauppauge TV Card. What would happen is that when you clicked on Control Panel nothing would be visible where the categories would normally appear, and sometimes it would load blank and immediately quit. I found the fix here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070816222229AABC5Vq starting the Windows Software Licensing service fixed it and I set it to automatic from manual. Control Panel blank Control Panel nothing shows up Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 355134

    - Why does 4GB RAM only show as 3GB? I know that when using 32-bit Vista you can't expect to see all 4GB of installed RAM but I was under the impression that you should see between 3.1 and 3.5GB. My new Dell Precision laptop has 4GB RAM but only shows exactly 3GB. The BIOS reports 4GB. Is this unusual or indicative of a problem? -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) Tag: When is SP1 due?

    - Will not go to sleep anymore I have a Dell Vostro with home premium for about a month now. Sleep and hybernate mode worked fine. Seems like it stopped going to sleep (monitor still powers down) after I downloaded SP1 for Vista. Is this a common problem? Reading some of these posts, it seems as though it may be. I know, I know.... Read all of the articles about SP1 Beta AFTER I installed it. Thanks Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 355106

    - Incredible, ultra slow! From yesterday my notebook (with Vista Home Premium) goes very very very slowly! I don't know if the cause is the update from Acrobat from ver. 8 Professional to 8.1.2 but now notebok start-up takes 10 or more minutes and then my user start-up takes other 10-20 minutes! In other words, it's extremely slow from when I turn it on to when I turn if off, you can't use it anymore! What's happen? HELP ME, please! :-( Mhaxx Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 355072

    - Can't delete a Shortcut from desktop after uninstalling a program I installed the AVG free antispyware software which I thought was a permanent program but after installing it, I noticed that it said it was only a 30 day trial version. So I uninstalled it but the shortcut remained on the desktop and now I cannot delete it. I already have the patch for removing undeletable emails stuck in windows mail, but that obviously doesn't work for anything outside the mail program. Can anyone help me out with this problem thanks.

    - Download time for Vista Service Pack 1 I started downloading and installing Vista Service Pack 1 last night and here it is, a little over 24 hours later and it's still not finished. It's at 94%. I left it running all night last night and all day today with no other programs running and no other activity (Being that I wasn't even here to use the thing). I'm running just the simple Vista Home Basic version and I have cable internet. Is it normal for it to take this freaking long to download and install and has anyone else has had this problem? Thanks for any help you can give. Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 355050

    - Vista IS definitely a better NT kern It started with NT - with the intent that if something crashed, it wouldn't take the rest of the system with it. XP was pretty good at that. So far, Vista is TOPS! I've had 2 lockups with my HDTV program (both times I was doing a bunch of things at once and confused it) - it locked and Vista gave me a message - cancel it or look for an answer. Nice! I just had my first lockup with NWN2 this evening (after a LOT of playing!) - same thing - cancel it or look for an answer. Very nice! Can't recall any other program lockups, and no system lockups. More stable and rock solid than XP and I thought XP was pretty darn good. Gotta say, this is darned enjoyable!!! -- Kris ---------- DFI Infinity Blood-Iron P35-T2RL | E2200Alen 2.2@2.86 TtP0310 | 2x1gb Mushkin HP 800@1040 | MSI NX8600GTS-OC 256mb | Raidmax RX530-SS psu | Vista Ult 32 SP1 Tag: When is SP1 due?

    - Vista Service Pack won't load I have tried to install service pack 1 with no success. After downloading, the installation takes about 30 minutes, at which point you have to reboot. This part takes another 45 minutes. Then i get a message saying something like installation unsuccessful, undoing changes. This take another 45 minutes. So after some 2 hours (that i can't use the computer), i'm right back where i started. I've tried this 4 times (that's 8 hours of processing time). I'm using Vista Basic with an AMD dual core processor. I've tried turning off all popup blockers, anti-virus, and that kind of stuff. Any ideas? Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 355027

    - Fraud - Just FYI - For Kevpan815 the Nutjob Just FYI Financial identity theft A classic example of credit-dependent financial crime (bank fraud) occurs when a criminal obtains a loan from a financial institution by impersonating someone else. The criminal pretends to be the victim by presenting an accurate name, address, birth date, or other information that the lender requires as a means of establishing identity. Even if this information is checked against the data at a national credit-rating service, the lender will encounter no concerns, as all of the victim's information matches the records. The lender has no easy way to discover that the person is pretending to be the victim, especially if an original, government-issued id can't be verified (as is the case in online, mail, telephone, and fax-based transactions). This kind of crime is considered non-self-revealing, although authorities may be able to track down the criminal if the funds for the loan were mailed to them. The criminal keeps the money from the loan, the financial institution is never repaid, and the victim is wrongly blamed for defaulting on a loan s/he never authorized. In most cases the financial identity theft will be reported to the national Consumer credit reporting agency or Credit bureaus(US) as a collection or bad loan under the impersonated person's record. This person may discover the incident by being denied a loan, by seeing the accounts or complaints when they view their own credit history, or by being contacted by creditors or collection agencies. The person's credit score, which affects one's ability to acquire new loans or credit lines, will be adversely affected until they are able to successfully dispute the complaints and have them removed from their record. Other forms of examples of bank fraud associated with identity theft include "account takeovers," passing bad checks, and "busting out" a checking or credit account with bad check, counterfeit money order, or empty ATM envelope deposits. If withdrawals or checks are made against the impersonated person's real accounts, that person may need to convince the bank that the withdrawal was fraudulent or file a court case in order to retrieve lost funds. If checks are written against fraudulently opened checking accounts, then the person receiving the checks will suffer the financial loss, however they might try to retrieve money from the impersonated person by using a collection agency which would appear in the person's credit history until they can show that it was fraud. Identity cloning and concealment In this situation, a criminal acquires personal identifiers, and then impersonates someone for concealment from authorities. This may be done by a person who wants to avoid arrest for crimes, by a person who is working illegally in a foreign country, or by a person who is hiding from creditors or other individuals. Unlike credit-dependent financial crimes, these issues can be non self-revealing, continuing for an indeterminate amount of time without being detected. The criminal might attempt to obtained fraudulent documents or IDs consistent with the cloned identity to make the impersonation more convincing. Criminal identity theft When a criminal identifies himself to police as another individual it is sometimes referred to as "Criminal Identity Theft." In some cases the criminal will obtain a state issued ID using stolen documents or personal information belonging to another person, or they might simply use a fake ID. When the criminal is arrested for a crime, they present the ID to authorities, who place charges under the identity theft victim's name and release the criminal. When the criminal fails to appear for his court hearing, a warrant would be issued under the assumed name. The victim might learn of the incident if the state suspends their own drivers license, or through a background check performed for employment or other purposes, or in rare cases could be arrested when stopped for a minor traffic violation. It can be difficult for a criminal identity theft victim to clear their record. The steps required to clear the victim's incorrect criminal record depend on what jurisdiction the crime occurred in and whether the true identity of the criminal can be determined. The victim might need to locate the original arresting officers, or be fingerprinted to prove their own identity, and may need to go to a court hearing to be cleared of the charges. Obtaining an expungement of court records may also be required. Authorities might permanently maintain the victim's name as an alias for the criminal's true identity in their criminal records databases. One problem that victims of criminal identity theft may encounter is that various data aggregators might still have the incorrect criminal records in their databases even after court and police records are corrected. Thus it is possible that a future background check will return the incorrect criminal records. Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 355009

I am not able to correct 2 very irritating problems with Windows Explorer. 1) I've configured Explorer as follows: - present folders/files in [list] mode - do NOT remember each folder's view settings I then click on the [Apply To Folders] options so that all folders are viewed the same way. These settings only seem to apply until the computer computer is turned off. When I start the computer up again, anything goes... 2) I am frequently unable to delete folders and files from a DVD. When this happes, I need to shut to shut the computer off and then the folders/files can be deleted. 3) A third problem (yes, I know I only stated there were 2) is that every few weeks I have to follow the instructions in 'http://nareshjois.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/cannot-select-multiple-files-in-vista/' to select multiple folders/files.

    - Cursor Disappearing Issue Hi. I have searched microsoft.com, these discussion groups, and all over the Internet and can't seem to find a solution to this issue. Hopefully, someone can assist me?: I recently purchased a new Dell Inspiron 1525, Vista installed, and when the computer arrived, I loaded my Office 2003 program. Everything works fine except the cursor. I've turned off "hide pointer while typing" and the cursor just disappears when I'm in any program, but I especially miss it when I'm in Word. I do a lot of cutting and pasting, and I can't use Word with just the arrow keys constantly. When on a program, or the internet, if the cursor is not hovering over a link or white space (i.e. when the cursor is on text only) it doesn't show up. This did not happen on my Dell 1100 with XP and Office 2003. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks. Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 354793

    - Yahoo chat Vista error. Need help I have Vista premium home edition. When I open Yahoo messenger I get a pop up saying a USB phone is detected. Then when I enter a room it says that my sound compression is not compatible(pharaphrasing) so no sound. Also my web-camera will not work in messenger. When I click to turn my web-cam on, it says my camera is not plugged in. It works perfect as long as I am not in messenger. I called tech support from my computer manufacturer and he said the sound compression error and no sound was a common complaint but that the web-cam issue was NOT common. He also stated that Yahoo nor Microsoft have came out with a patch and their is nothing to do but wait for one. He said it has been over a year and still no patch. He showed me several sites where people have posted they are having the same problem wiwth sound compression errors. However, I know people who have Vista and everything works just fine! All my hardware and software is compatible with Vista. I just received the computer last week. Any advice on sound compression or web-cam issures would be greatly appreciated.

    - Any new/additional vista user account pictures? There's a limited set of 12 Vista user account pictures to choose from in Home Pro. Just wondering if there are any additional ones out there to use. Also, any size restrictions on pictures I get or make myself to use? Thanks, Walter Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 354778

    - Tablet PC Input Panel Where does what you write go to after you enter it? I just got Vista, and am trying to figure this out. Also, exactly what is this used for? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! -- Tonia Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 354729

    - Post-SP1 VSS System Writer CAPI2 errors Despite the fact that System Writer is missing from "vssadmin list writers", System Restore points are successfully created and non-system file Shadow Copies are also being created. However, the most recent attempt to restore one of these points failed without explanation. Fortunately, I image the partitions weekly with Norton Save & Restore. The other 6 Writers are functioning normally. The following Application Log error is generated every time "vssadmin list writers" is executed on Vista Ultimate. Source: CAPI2 Event ID: 513 Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object. Details: AddCoreCsiFiles : RtlConvertNtFilePathToWin32Path() failed. System Error: 0xC0000039 (unresolvable). %systemdrive%\Windows\Registration ACLs are correct per http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/7e1c02b6-a223-4d5e-9038-48f0bfced4551033.mspx Thanks in advance.

    - Speech Recognition training errors I tried dictating some text in Word Pad, and it seemed to go fairly well, but after using the "Correct (word in error)" command, I tried dictating the same sentence and the word still showed as an error. I repeatedly corrected the word, and it still continues to come up wrong, so it seems that the Speech Recognition module is not really learning anything from the correction procedure. Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution? Also, I ran Dragon Naturally Speaking about 10 years ago, and that had a text editor you could use to write a document that you could then dictate so that the software would then improve recognition reliability. I don't see such an option in the Windows Vista Speech Recognition module. Does anyone have an idea how this can be accomplished? The speech training offered within the module is too brief to really be effective. Does the training module use a text script that we can access and edit to our liking? That would seem to be what is needed - either that, or give us several more training session add-ons. Tag: When is SP1 due? Tag: 354719

You are probably running some device driver that needs work.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows
Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates:
