    - OpenVPN istallation and compatability Hello all, I'm new here but found a lot of interesting stuff already.I am in the process of rolling out Vista Business machines our users who need OpenVPN access to connect to our network from home.I have installed VPN and done all of the relevant certificate requirements which allow access into the network, but my only problems is that I cannot get the program file to run at start up.By doing this all they have to do is double click on the icon on the taskbar to launch the connection. Without this, they have to run as administrator from the desktop and then double click the icon, which most people forget.I added it as a scheduled task to run at start up but it looks like its doing nothing. However, if I view the same scheduled task and run it manually the program starts. Any ideas? Post Originated from http://www.VistaForums.com Vista Support Forums Tag: Windows Blinking Edges!

    - Select multiple folders in Windows Explorer and shortcut underline Hello all, Actual 2 questions. 1. Select multiple files in a given folder in Windows Explorer is straight forward enough (click 1st file, press shift and click on last file). Can we select multiple folders the same way? The select multiple file method just doesn't work... 2. I just switched from XP a few months ago. I remember that the keyboard shortcut for context sensitive menu is underlined. e.g. when right-click on an image in a browser, i can type an 'r' to get the Property window. The letter 'r' in the 'Property' menu item is undderlined. Can't see it in any menu in Vista...anywhere where i can switch it on. Thanx in advance. L&L Tag: Windows Blinking Edges!

    - Vista made me staring at Configuring Updates screen for 1 hour I just restored my Vista from a hidden partition of the HD last night. Just when I was ready to start using my laptop, the auto update kicked in and rebooted my PC. Then, all I could do was staring at the Configuring Updates for ~ 1 hour (without knowing how long it would take). After that, I had to go to bed. What a waste of time! I'm not blaming the updates, but the design and the process can use some improvements. It should have warned the users of time it may require. It should have shown the progress of the process instead of the endless in progress animation. Vista installer can tell you how many minutes left, why can major time-consuming updates do the same? auto-update should have more options than installing without informing the users. I have since turned it off. I hope someone from MS monitors this group and can make improvements on the new OS in the future. Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434336

    - working with E-mail Attachments Hi, I received an e-mail with a Word attachment. I opened it and worked on it, then saved it. Where is it? I realise that i should have done a 'saved as' then renamed it and saved where I knew where it was, but i did not, I just pressed save and now I cannot find it. I did alot of work on it and could do with finding it or repeat several hours of work. Your help would be greatfully appreciated. thanks in advance Ian Tag: Windows Blinking Edges!

    - Automatic stand-by Why my Vista HP automatically goes to stand-by mode after some minutes when defrag process or download.. are performing? Isn't it a little bit strange? I know you can set the stand-by timeout (i.e. 15 minutes), the hybernation timeout (i.e. 30 minutes) and so on but with my XP if defrag is in progress no stand-by is executed! And this is okay.. Any idea?! Massimo Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434310

    - Login process has failed to create the security options Hello all, This is my first post and I realise the topic has been addressed already. However, the relevant threads are closed (incidentally, I'd love to know why) and from what I can tell, no one's got to the bottom of this problem despite a flurry of recent correspondence on the subject. I have a new laptop (weeks old only) and its my first experience with Vista (Premium). Today, although I've not changed the configuration or added or removed any software, my screen is randomly and unexpectedly going pale and although the cursor moves, nothing else is responding. Eventually, the screen goes black and after further delay this message appears: "*Login process has failed to create the security options*" The system does not respond to CTL-ALT-DEL. The only way to shut down is to power off. On restart (apart from the usual warnings and suggestions that I start in Safe Mode following a forced shutdown), everything works fine again for awhile, then the problem re-occurs. I've been studying the Web all morning and there's been a rash of this problem starting just a few months ago (there are few, if any reports before that). This is very suspicious therefore. In most forums two main options are routinely offered - first, that it is related to hard disc failure and second that it is related to anti-virus software. Neither is definitive however. In fact, most people are still reporting that the problem is NOT fixed, which is why I am surprised that threads relating to it are closed. Does anybody know what's going on, or the real solution? Plain English, step-by-step, idiot's guide answers preferred - I am a computerphobic. -- speenth Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434305

    - Advert Logos Super Antispyware program produces an advert logo at startup, which remains on my screen for quite a while, during which it not easy to do other things with the PC.

    - Offline files sync Vista Business, fresh install, new Dell Latitude D630 Core2Duo 4GB of RAM. I setup Offline Files to sync a part of a network share at work, so I could easily work on files while at home and have it sync when I got back into the office. It sort of worked for a few days, but always seemed to think the connection was offline unless I rebooted. When I rebooted it worked until I left the office, then it was permanently offline until I rebooted in the office again. Three weeks ago it became totally useless and will NEVER go online and sync the files anymore. At this point I just want to remove it like it never existed, because I cannot access that network share anymore. It always shows the local copy (stale) and it's always in the disconnected state. I can't get to other branches of the share either. How do I remove all traces of the Offline Folder so I can access the network share again? Thanks.

    - Ringmaster's Infection Control Knowing the methods in which a disease is transmitted is important for implementing proper infection control measures and large scale prevention campaigns. Each disease has transmission characteristics based on the nature of the poster that causes it. The types of transmission described below are not mutually exclusive. Some diseases, such as Ringmaster posting, can be transmitted in more than one way. Ringmaster can be spread through direct contact to a computer, producing cutaneous excrement. It can also be spread through airborne spores, and electronic media which are inhaled, or read, producing a more serious type of infection. Gastrointestinal suffering can occur when Ringmaster posts are read. Direct contact transmission requires electronic contact between an infected person and a susceptible person, and the physical transfer of moronic posts. Direct contact includes touching an infected individual, kissing, sexual contact, contact with oral secretions, or contact with body lesions, and insulting posts. This type of transmission requires close contact with an infected individual, and will usually occur between members of the same forum. Diseases spread exclusively by direct contact are unable to survive for significant periods of time away from a host. Excreted transmitted diseases are almost always spread through direct reading of moronic posts, as they are extremely sensitive to bullshit. Fecal-oral transmission is usually associated with organisms that infect the mental system. Microorganisms enter the body through reading of contaminated messages. Inside the brain, these microorganisms multiply and are shed from the body in feces. If proper hygienic and sanitation practices are not in place, the microorganisms (Ringmaster) in the feces may contaminate the water supply through inadequate sewage treatment and water filtration. Ringmaster is a contaminated piece of excrement that may be used as posting bullshit. If the infected individual is a waiter, cook, or food handler, (which describes Ringmaster) then inadequate handwashing may result in food being contaminated with microorganisms. Fecal-oral transmission can be reduced by: Not reading any of Ringmaster's posts Thorough deleting of Ringmaster's posts Frequent and thorough eye washing, especially after reading Ringmaster's posts Adequate sewage treatment and deletion of Ringmaster's posts Disinfection of frequent touch surfaces to prevent indirect contact transmission Increased public awareness of proper avoidance of Ringmaster's posts Tag: Windows Blinking Edges!

    - The Real Truth Of Adam (Ringmaster) Albright Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or animal. It was found that Adam Albright of the vista.general forum practiced this sick kind of behavior. If practiced repeatedly, it leads to an increase in homozygosity of a population. A higher frequency of recessive, deleterious traits in homozygous form in a population can, over time, result in inbreeding depression. This may occur when inbred individuals exhibit reduced health and fitness and lower levels of fertility. Livestock breeders often practice inbreeding to "fix" desirable characteristics within a population. However, they must then cull unfit offspring, especially when trying to establish the new and desirable trait in their stock. In plant breeding, inbred lines are used as stocks for the creation of hybrid lines to make use of the heterosis effect. Inbreeding in plants also occurs naturally in the form of self-pollination. A number of years ago, Inbreeding was brought to the attention of authorities because of Adam Albright. He frequented the Southern States of Alabama and Mississippi. Authorities were horrified at his actions. Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434187

    - Ringmaster The Idiot Troll And Buffoon. Just FYI Most know newsgroups such as these attract trolls. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is obviously a troll, to be more precise the troll in residence in this newsgroup, but Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is much more than your garden variety troll. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is a buffoon. That simply means Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is a clown, obviously some poorly educated loser, what many would simply call stupid. To prove that point, shortly after Adam Albright [Ringmaster] reads this there's a better than 50% chance he'll remove his name in the title, substitute mine, maybe change a few words around and pretend he wrote the post. That's a classic Adam Albright [Ringmaster] Fuckwit move. What's a Fuckwit? Really we're getting into degrees of stupid. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] excels at showing how stupid he can be. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] loves to be the internet bully. Anyone raising any issue that differ with Adam Albright [Ringmaster], Adam Albright [Ringmaster] automatically spews a familiar string of obscenities. For good measure Adam Albright [Ringmaster] will usually accuse the poster of being a Fuckwit and will say they are too stupid to have an opinion and will post infantile comments more common to six year olds playing some non-stop games of is too, is not that Adam Albright [Ringmaster] has repeated thousands of times, because that's all he is capable of. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] craves attention and acceptance, so he tries hard to impress people. He loves to pretend he runs a business and is an Accountant. Sometimes Adam Albright [Ringmaster] gets really carried away and says he can program Flash. When challenged what these technologies are, Adam Albright [Ringmaster] retreats and refuses to name them, knowing it is just a lie. If you read just a few of Adam Albright [Ringmaster]'s posts you'll quickly discover Adam Albright [Ringmaster] loves to lie. That is his real passion. In fact you would be hard pressed to read any Adam Albright [Ringmaster] post that was over stuffed with his lies. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] has told some whoppers too. Like he insists he's very handsome. Again, any picture to back that claim up is never offered. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] says he has goo all over his shorts. Another tall tale Adam Albright [Ringmaster] loves to throw out like him claiming to be rich and successful. Depending on how demented Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is when posting he'll tell you he is a masturbator guy actively shooting off his mouth, to being hands-off and retired, to being semi-retired or being in the process of selling his business or some other tall tale. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] claims to drive a prius. He can't drive because he lives in an institution. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is most obvious the liar when he tries to pretend he's an authority on everything. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] forgets he once told this newsgroup he had to call Microsoft's help line which he refers to has his private consultants before he could get Vista to run on his system. In spite of this admission Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is clueless, he's usually the first to accuse others of not knowing how to install or run Vista when it was HE that couldn't get the job done by himself. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is quite the little crybaby. He's among the first to curse, yell and bitch and he's always shaking his finger at others if they put known troublemakers in their place, however Adam Albright [Ringmaster] has given himself absolute authority and dominion over everyone posting to this newsgroup. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] has actually said he can yell, curse and scream all he wants, because he has a right to. Maybe Adam Albright [Ringmaster] hears voices in his head. When pressed Adam Albright [Ringmaster] shits his pants. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] obviously is way short of a full deck. The mental picture most get of Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is some old fool beet red in the face, pounding his fist on his desk as he curses somebody out. Adam Albright [Ringmaster] not being very creative always uses the same insults even though he's never met any of us personally. So if Adam Albright [Ringmaster] attacks you, you are automatically a fanboy, a fucktard, or an idiot. So what you should take away from this little post is Adam Albright [Ringmaster] is mentally unstable, a known deranged pervert, a proven Sheep Fucker and just the biggest Putz on Usenet you'll probably ever come across.

    - Understanding Ringmaster - The Total Retard Of The Vista Group Yes this topic is totally off topic, but critical none the less. Unless you've been living in a cave the past couple weeks you know what a serious world wide financial crisis we're in. Having a software background I'm going to explain to you in a way that's easy to understand. First the Banks don't have any money and the Banks made Loans to idiots like Ringmaster who can't afford to pay back his loan. Of course this fucktard Ringmaster defaults on his loan. Multiply this by millions of Ringmasters who can't even balance their checkbook, but they can't figure out how a simple copy of Vista works on their PC's. Remember when your parents had their homes and the father worked and the mother stayed home? In todays world, imagine having Ringmaster in the house. The wife would say, "Fuck. Ringmaster is home, I need to get a Fucking Job". So the Mother went to work so she wouldn't have to see the Fucktard Ringmaster when she came home. This is because Ringmaster was always drunk, Ringmaster was always insulting everyone on the Internet. Thousands and thousands of insulting posts going to Dr. Laura and Rush Limbaugh forums. Everyone is a fucktard, fanboy, fuckwit, or worse Ringmaster thought they were members of his fucking Idiot Club. Imagine that! This is NOT a family crisis, rather a Ringmaster circius. Both politicians and the news media have wrongly been referring to the pending legislation as a "bail-out of vista.general" implying the fat cats will be the major beneficiaries. Not so. That is why most Americans who, lets face it, are Joe six pack types are totally clueless about vista postings don't understand and have been watching Ringmaster flood vista.generalwith angry posts demanding they go along with everything Ringmaster has to say. Like most forum meltdowns this one has it's roots in STUPIDITY. Assessing who's to blame is more easy. If you take a look at the root you will see that the majority of the posts are negative and the majority of the negative posts are by Ringmaster, blasting everyone who has a different opinion than him. Helpful posts like everything else goes in cycles. Posts have been rising so fast Rubes think they never could start going the other way. Well they did start to fall and hard. That is what started this mess. Vista users wrote inquiring posts. Many people got to read these posts but found that Ringmaster would butt in cussing them out, talking about Frank with almost every question or answer. Users were almost afriad to respond because they were blasted by Ringmasters disgusting rants. We'll leave the complex paper shuffling out of this discussion since it is too complex to explain in a newsgroup, so basically we'll just say Ringmaster started to lose braincells by the billions. There are almost a 1,000 publicly posted messages on the vista general forum. Under government regulations as well as generally accepted rules of posting, most anything goes. But in recent history, with the forum being upset by the lunatic Ringmaster, the Government just might step in to help stop the flood of idiot postings by Ringmaster and his group of clowns. Several flies in the ointment. The big bullies, especially Ubuntu pundits use excessive language. That's where they increase their bullying power by posting shit posts after shit posts for every legitimate post posted. Obviously things are starting to go bad and they can go bad fast. As the public tires of Ringmaster and his antics, it just might be time for action at the Federal level. We shall see but with the financial problems of the country, the vista group may just have to wait. We will achive justice. Once and for all. Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434185

    - How to deal with Frank, just insult the old fart in Yiddish Frank is a putz. For those that don't know what a putz is, the word has roots in old German and Yiddish. Just because I can, I'll speak a little Yiddish and have some fun really chewing out Franky Fuckwit, and the stupid little jerk will spend a lot of time trying to figure it out. Frank should farmach dos moyl because he farshtunken to high heaven. The reality is Frank is just a finster un glitshik and a old fool that constantly passes fortz n'zovver. Rather then spending all his time here being a pest Frank should gai kaken oifen yam! Those wishing to insult Frank should simply say gai tren zich. Frank of course thinks he's clever. While Frank is never geferlech, most would like to tell him to geharget zolstu veren! Frank of course thinks he's a gantseh k'nacker. He's not, but he is always a grob. Frank's actions suggest he's ibberbuttle. If Linux is mentioned Frank will yell ich darf es ahf kapores. It's a shame we can't meet Frank is person, he's too chicken. If we could we would ich vel dir geben a khamalye! Frank is always in kaas oyf and unwillingly kabaret forshtelung but Frank is just kadoches mit koshereh fodem. Being a idiot Frank likes to add lachen mit yash-tsherkes to the end of his posts. While Frank pretends to be a Mentsh, he's really a menuvel, nebbish and nebechel and of course paskudnik, paskudnyak and paskidnye too. Naturally we know Frank is prostak, a complete proster chamoole, a pustunpasnik besides being a putz. Frank sadly brings shandeh on this newsgroup and Frank probably would spend a lot of time at a shandhoiz if he could afford it, but he can't. Pretty obvious Frank is also a shikker, shlatten shammes and a Shlub. Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434179

    - ARTICLE::----->>>> Hasta la Vista baby, we're just not interested I just love it when I present facts the the delusional fanboys.... Not that it helps much, they stick their head in the sand and still gawk VISTA VISTA VISTA!!!!! ARTICLE::----->>>> Hasta la Vista baby, we're just not interested http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-10055786-75.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20 Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system is still playing second fiddle to XP with business users, with more enterprises confessing to checking out the unreleased Windows 7 OS than its predecessor. Windows Vista More than half (58 percent) of businesses using Microsoft technology are "exploiting" Windows XP compared to just 4 percent for Vista, according to the "reality checker" research by the Corporate IT Forum (Tif). Tif's reality checker surveys help its members quickly compare the progress and position of their companies' IT against the technology choices of other members. The group also found that 35 percent of organizations describe themselves as "not yet interested" in Vista. The OS most people appear to be developing or piloting is Windows XP, with 12 percent of businesses saying they were doing so compared to 5 percent for Vista. Interestingly more businesses said they're currently investigating or analyzing Microsoft's next scheduled OS, Windows 7 (30 percent), than Vista (14 percent). In contrast, 7 percent of businesses even said they're still exploiting Windows 2000, although 19 percent said they are currently replacing or "sunsetting" it. In April, research showed that Vista uptake among businesses was slow during 2007, although a quarter of businesses said they planned to upgrade in 2008. The main reason given by Tif members for not moving to Vista was a lack of business requirement to do so. Meanwhile, Microsoft's latest browser, Internet Explorer 7, is having a similar battle with its predecessor, IE 6, with a fifth of respondents saying they're not yet interested in the newer version of the application. Almost two-thirds of businesses surveyed (65 percent) said they are exploiting IE 6 compared to 4 percent for IE 7. However, 14 percent said they are currently piloting IE 7, with the same proportion using it in isolation. Almost a quarter (23 percent) said they are analyzing and investigating IE 8, which is currently available in beta form. Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434144

    - Folder Options I am using VISTA Home Premium with SP1 What steps do I need to follow in order that each time I open a folder, it always shows my shortcut as ICONS medium rather than just a list of each file under that particular folder. I reviewed folder options and thought I had selected the correct option, however after I go to VIEW and select ICONS medium and close the folder and reopen it again it changes back to the LIST view. Thank you in advance for your support. HankL Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434039

    - remove XP keeping Vista Hi I had Xp on my system and used it for some time, Wife bought me new PC, it's got everything including Vista Ultimate, I took it off and put Xp on, then I decided to put Vista on the other partition and give it a few weeks to see how it went, well I know what a lot of people say about Vista, but to be honest, I have got used to it and it's ok now, once I got rid of a few things like UAC etc, due to the PC specs it runs very well and I have decided to keep it, that's where my problem starts. I installed XP first then Vista, set up a dual boot, but now I want to remove Xp, is it possible to remove XP, and make the "D" (which is a partition of a 360 gig drive) the "C" part of the drive, what I am trying to do is keep vista without having to re-install and all the setting up that comes with it. Thanks Gordon Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 434032

    - AVI & WMV thumbnails missing All AVI and WMV files display an icon rather than a thumbnail image. JPG photos etc are all OK. I think this is a codec issue as the icon displayed changed when I swapped from CCCP codecs to K-Lite. I have tried other suggestsions form this forum, inclduing F5 and using disk cleanup to clear the thumbnail cache. Is this a codec issue? Any ideas on how to resolve? Tag: Windows Blinking Edges!

    - What would you wish to be improved in the next version of Windows Personally, I think Microsoft should spend more time improving Windows Explorer than any other softwares included in Windows. It looks like as new versions of Windows come out, Microsoft is showing off brand new bundled applications for example the Sidebar, DVD Maker, Windows Picture Gallery or something for Vista. Actually there are many good or better softwares that can replace them. Many of them are even freewares. See Picasa for example. But Windows Explorer, it cannot be easily replaced, and most of the time, we are dealing with Windows Explorer. Making good application is what other companies are to do, what Microsoft should do is to improve the OS. So I hope Microsoft would put more and more functionalities to Windows Explorer. Of course those should be able to be turned on and off in order not to confuse novice users. Some improvements I can think of are, 1) Queuing file move/copy operations: this will be useful if you need to copy many files to a slow medium like a flash memory drive. Currently, you can start copying with multiple files are selected, but once it has started, there's no way to add new files to copy to the operation. And, if you commit another copying, it will be started promptly rather than being queued, thus causing both copying operations to be slow. 2) Remembering speed displaying status : I need to unfold it each and every time to see the copying speed. 3) Pausing file copy operations: when copying a big file, the computer may become very slow, you need to do something right now quickly but you don't want to cancel the copying and start it from the beginning again. 4) Quick toggle buttons on the Explorer toolbar for showing hidden and system files: these days, many files could be created hidden. This could also be some security issue. But changing the setting is not easy, and you don't want to see the system files all the time, it's ugly. 5) "Open command prompt here" for the context menu : now that TweakUI is unavailable for Vista. 6) "New folder" context menu, instead of New -> move the mouse -> Folder. 7) Remove Internet Explorer history from Windows Explorer address bar : annoying, now that Windows Explorer cannot host Internet Explorer but launch a separate process. 8) Hiding file extensions by default can be deceptive and confusing. But other people who have used Windows for a long time should have many better ideas how to improve Windows Explorer. Tag: Windows Blinking Edges! I Found it Tag: 433955

    - MISS 6GB--MORE DEFRAGGLER PROBLEMS From: "chanook*xyz*" <nikite@frii.com> Subject: Re: Help--what happened to 6GB? Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 12:08 PM chanook*xyz thankyou for getting back to me. I did go to the website and found out in the defraggler forum I was not the only person to have 6gb disappear! The idea was that --yes-- something to with restore points--so I did that--uninstalled the defraggler!!! But now, the touchpad doesn't work right and tried to do a check disk at startup for the volume to fix any errors----problems with that. Screen comes up "ck disk scheduled" next line says "ck disk cancelled"!!!! It WON"T fix errors, just boots up. Boots up after that fine. Help please any ideas?? Thankyou for any help - in layman's terms.

One might want to check if the CD-ROM DVD drive(s) still work after
disabling this service.
