    - Microsoft extends XP downgrade rights date by six months MS knows Vista is crap lol http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1619 Microsoft is sending some very confusing signals about Windows Vista - the latest of which it issued via a statement on October 3. The Register reported on October 2 that Microsoft was going to extend again the date until which PC makers would be allowed to continue to offer Windows users "downgrade rights," enabling them to switch from Vista to XP on new machines. The Reg said Microsoft had moved the downgrade cut-off date from January 31, 2009 to July 31, 2009. I asked Microsoft about the Reg's report and got this statement, via a company spokesperson: "As more customers make the move to Windows Vista, we want to make sure that they are making that transition with confidence and that it is as smooth as possible. Providing downgrade media for a few more months is part of that commitment, as is the Windows Vista Small Business Assurance program (available in the U.S. only), which provides 1-on-1, customized support for our small business customers." In other words, the Reg's story was correct. The spokesperson sent further clarification: "What's changing is Microsoft is giving six more months where it will provide downgrade media for XP Professional for OEMs and system builders to provide to their customers who purchase Windows Vista Ultimate and Business editions - (which the company figures will be) largely going to be small businesses since that's the audience that would want/use XP Pro. So it's the same old downgrade right thing that was in the EULA (End User License Agreement) before; it's just Microsoft is providing the media to partners a few months more." "The same caveat with providing the downgrade media as before applies, which is OEMs and system builders don't have to do so if they don't want - it's their business decision to make." Microsoft has extended XP's end-of-life date before. In Apri 2008 l, Microsoft officials said the company was not going to extend again the date on which it required OEMs to stop preloading XP on new machines. That date was June 30, 2008. Microsoft did say that system builders, a k a white box vendors, would be allowed to continue to preload XP on new systems until January 31, 2009. OEMs and system builders both were OK'd to continue preloading XP on new ultra-low-cost systems through 2010, as many of those systems were and are incapable of running Vista. Bottom line: Even though Microsoft is maintaining publicly that Vista is finally ready for prime time, it is allowing PC makers to continue to offer customers XP. So what's a user to believe? Is Microsoft really standing behind Vista? And if it's not - but instead is doing what customers really want (while simply giving lip-service to Vista's readiness - is that still a positive?

    - Please be gentle. My patient is under stress My patient, Ringmaster AKA Adam Albright is under quite a bit of stress. He came in for 3 sessions earlier and I gave him an extra dose of medication. Adam just kept mumbling that he wanted to call people fuckwits and fanboys. I excused myself from the room and had Adam thrown out to the street. Tag: auto play not opening usb storage Tag: 434786

    - Ringmaster - The idiot at large. 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.

    - Speaking of FOOLS, Meet Ringmaster You got to say one thing for Ringmaster. He is as predictable as banks failing. Each and every time this fucktard has the shit kicked out of him he has a hissy fit. What a spectacle to watch this moron prove beyond all doubt how retarded, stupid and juvenile he actually is. What does this moron do? What he always does. Repeat the same crap based on his previous lies. Nobody expects this buffoon to ever say anything intelligent. Never a well thought out reply. No witty remarks, no logic, no reason, nothing but foul, vulgar, libelous filth. The stupid fuckwit has no shame. He's a pathological liar. It is also clear Ringmaster is S T U P I D beyond compare. Nobody but a putz would try to deny he lied when his lie is still in the same post he is claiming he said somewhere else. Well nobody but a fuckwit like Ringmaster. Ringmaster was such a sap today he tried to pretend being in love with a Sheep which is verified by many of his posts. That's a riot when this moron is the one that hijack's other poster's posts claiming them as his own. Naturally this fool just got exposed as a clumsy liar and was asking two chimps have to come to the defense. So of course we're treated to not just one jackass making a fool of himself, but three! Take a bow Ringmaster, you fucking moron, you deserve the spotlight. It takes a special talent to be as stupid as you are and then be even dumber to call attention to your stupidity on not just once, but for both you feeble attempts trying to lie your dumb ass off and getting caught red handed. Of course I always nail all you idiots. Day after day. That will never change. What a fucking douche bag loser. Tag: auto play not opening usb storage Tag: 434779

    - A Fool's Paradise... Yes, an old phrase, and those that blindly support Vista are in a state of happiness based on false hope. Not surprising the meaning is lost on the handful of vocal idiots that infest this newsgroup and spill their bitter bile which flows here like a overflowed river. Alexander Pope back in 1709 wrote thusly: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again." This flowery passage is the source of the better known "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" and we see examples of such ignorance here daily. Beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing. That of course simply means be cautious of someone who hides malicious intent under the guise of false truths. The question boils down to why do some try so hard to paint over the obvious flaws sprinkled throughout Vista? Is this not the place to bring such issues to light, discuss them and hopefully together find solutions? You would think so, but not in the poisoned atmosphere created by a few ignorant and foolish posters. To hear them tell it Vista is nearly perfect and if you don't share in the bliss they enjoy then surely you must be foolish and know not how to install or configure Vista properly. About as feeble a lie that could be uttered and a vain and limp attempt to drown out the truth even Microsoft admits be it in whispers. Namely while well intended, Vista just hasn't lived up to the hype or promise previously proclaimed from Redmond and not received well anywhere. Is there any truth to the madness most of Vista's problems are rooted in not installing or configuring it correctly? No. One only need spend a few minutes at Google to see the torrent of complaints and bewildering number of web pages devoted to discussing Vista issues. Many that arise show themselves on boxes with name brands where Vista came preinstalled. One would expect a newsgroup created to discuss such issues would be an oasis from the storm. It is not. Fools do foolish things and this newsgroup never has a shortage of idiots eager to praise Microsoft to the highest rather than holding them accountable for the ugly thing called Vista. Yes Vista might be pretty on the surface, but look below the surface and it's often a ugly old hag. Slow, plodding along and often rude with endless nagging usually over superficial things plus a unique ability to be seemingly unable to do simple things like remember settings and instead with no cause or warning reverting back to some arbitrary setting without even telling you the user a change was made. Then of course the old annoyance of cryptic messages like Windows Explorer needed to close, yet nothing but coded messages buried in some event log that at bests only hints as to why something internal to Windows keeps crashing. This place has taken on a bitter tone because of a few loud but ignorant pontificators foolishly thinking you are on holy ground when visiting here and besides removing your shoes you also should sit quietly and rise in praise when one of the self-anointed blowhards begins to bluster. I don't think so. That isn't the purpose of this newsgroup, it isn't a house of worship or a fan club. This is suppose to be a place of discussion and there can't be only one side heard with a few hot heads engaging in shameless personal attacks to attempt to drown out opposing views. No, that isn't how it should be, but is how things are. Tag: auto play not opening usb storage Tag: 434770

    - QTimes and iTunes - worried with these uploads Within the past few days I got a free download or update of QTimes and now I am also getting a 73 MB update of both QTimes and iTunes. I am worried since I do not think that I use these Apple things (Maybe I had used it innadvertedly before), I use mostly the Window things that came with my Vista Ultimate, and never, never listen to music in my computer. Let me ask, are these QuickTime things and iTunes necessary to be in my computer even if I do not think that I use them? It is helpful to leave these there instead of deleting them? Good to have them for any unexpected future use? I am worried since these might take a lot of disk space and my computer already is very slow. Please advise. Thanks.

Now I can do more than watch the little fishies in the aquarium on my screen. I even found some good sheep porn. Speaking of sheep the kid next door hooked up some kind of web cam???? Who wouda thunk? Anyway now I can look at my darling lover 24 hours a day. That is I can watch her for about 2 hours a day because the rest of the time in the barn with her. Or is it a him? Hmmmmm.

    - vista slow to save Vista Home Premium Can't find the answer to this - probably because I don't know which key words to use. I have 2-3 apps that save files in 2-10 seconds just as all other apps do. But on occasion (about 50-70% of the time) these 2-3 apps take 15-20 MINUTES to save a file. If I try to kill these apps before the save is finished, I lose all my work. What could be causing this and what, if anything, can I do to resolve this?

    - Vista won't boot after format of secondary drive I have a brand new computer (running Vista) with 2 drives - a 1 Tb SATA drive (C: primary), and a 320 G IDE drive (D: secondary). System booted up fine. I knew the IDE drive had errors on it, so I copied everything I could to the C: drive and re-formatted D:. Normal shutdown. Next reboot - all I got was the Microsoft "green line" for about 10 seconds and a black screen. Safe mode showed it stopped at CRCDISK. What happened? Vista was pre-installed and I supplied the 320 G drive. Did the format delete something off the D: drive that Vista was expecting? Reliable sources say to disconnect the D: drive and everything should work fine. If so - can I reconnect the drive and assume normal operation? Thanks for any help. mf.

    - List of Vista 32 bit logo compliant apps? Is Sun Java compliant? I work for a large network broadcasting company in new york. We have a new CIO who has issued a directive that all (or most) apps should have earned the Microsoft 32 bit logo compliant seal. There was a whole list of apps when XP was around, but we are all upgraded to Vista Business. He says: "The the Microsoft 32 bit logo compliant seal on the box assures people and companies that the programmers have followed Microsoft standards when designing their apps. Using compliant apps that follow standards makes for a crash free environment." Where did they move the list to? I can only find a hardware list, not a software list. Is Sun Java logo compliant? I cant find anything on Sun's website that shows that they are. Sun is notorious for going against Microsoft standards. Many of MS's competitors follow standards, Symantec, Adobe, Autodesk, etc Thanks, Rich Tag: auto play not opening usb storage Tag: 434669

    - Hi, I'm Frank, your Hall Monitor Hi you all. This is Frank, you know, this newsgroup's hall monitor. My job is to stand guard and try to run off those pesky posters that make Microsoft look bad when they reveal the truth about how messed up Vista really is. Yes, it is a thankless job, and while Microsoft didn't ask me to do it, somebody had to, so I'm doing it. I really don't have any talent, I'm a computer dummy, my intellect is ranked at the idiot level so I try to make up for those shortcoming by lying my ass off, by engaging in constant personal attacks and using as many obscenities as I can. I live in the gutter. I can't debate, argue, make a point, none of that stuff because that requires at least some minimal intelligence. I have none. So I scream, bluster and lie. Did I mention I toss out a lot of filthy obscenities like sheep fucker and cock sucker? Well, yeah, I do that, because I'm a miserable son of a bitch and since I can't reason and wouldn't know what a fact was if I tripped over one, so instead I'm a full time asshole.

Is there any way I can see, at least, previous scan date? I do the updates manually and I have CCleaner. However, I have unchecked Defender in the CCleaner 'Applications."

    - Windows Update freezing Each time I go to Windows Update the window freezes and I can never access it. I can continue using my computer but it would be nice to have the Windows Update screen always freeze. This happened before and after the install of Service Pack 1. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Task bar Notification Area problem I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Lately, the notification area of my taskbar is like a slot machine. There's no telling which of my icons will decide to appear there with a reboot. The latest antics are by the Network and Volume Control icons, Sometimes they appear, sometimes one or the other, and sometimes neither one. Also, when one or both of them are absent, the Task Bar options to display them are grayed out, so no help there. A reboot or 2 will usually get everything back, but it's an unnecessary hassle in my opinion. With XP, there was a small program called Task Bar Repair Tool that would quickly fix any such problems, rare though they were. Has anyone heard of something like this for Vista? Thanx, Buddha Tag: auto play not opening usb storage Tag: 434511

    - Unusual Start Menu Item... Yesterday a curious item appeared in my Start Menu "modify the vista codecs". I have never seen it before and I'm reluctant to open it because I don't know if it's potentially hazardous. I right-clicked it and Properties shows it's an application located in System 32. I Googled "modify the vista codecs" but very little info is available. Has anyone seen this? Is it safe? Why would it suddenly show up like that? Thanks.

    - When logging in, password box loses focus When the computer is locked and the screensaver is running, resuming does not perform very well. There are a couple of problems. First, when pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL, I do not always get the password prompt. Instead, it may just stop the screensaver, and I have to press CTRL-ALT-DEL again. Second, while typing my password, suddenly the password box will lose the focus. I could be halfway through typing when this happens. I have to click the password box and finish the password. ALT-TAB reveals two Windows Logon choices - one that works, and one that appears to do nothing, which is stealing the focus (or it appears that way). Anyone have any ideas? Screensaver is Aurora. I will try other screensavers to see if this makes any difference. Vista is SP1 Business. -- Brian Scheele IT Manager Clark Filter 3649 Hempland Road Lancaster, PA 17601-1323 Tag: auto play not opening usb storage Tag: 434490

Drives that should be shown (?) are: Floppy Disk Drive (A:) OS (C:) Recovery (D:) DVD RW Drive (E:) All are cabled, NOT USB or other. Hope you are able to help me - I sure need it!!!

    - Ringmaster, the foul mouth retard - hypocrite all the way "Ringmaster" <bigtop@VistaGeneralCircus.net> wrote in message news:tot9e49158m0jaclve316rmr6ahlhd3vro@4ax.com... > > You really like being a vulgar old fool don't you Frank. > That is very funny. Ringmaster, the foul mouth retard of this group is calling Frank vulgar. Let's see some of Ringmaster's posts Xxxxx again shows why is known far and wide as a idiot. 1. He can't argue a point, he doesn't even try. 2. He's a foul mouth little butt kisser. 3. He's stupid as the day is long. 4. He's in Microsoft's back pocket and a unpaid stooge. 5. He's a pathological liar. Now who are people more likely to believe? All anyone has to do is use Google to look up Xxxxx's revolting posting history to confirm what I just said. Slam dunk. Got you again dumb shit. Exposing Xxxxx as the idiot he is is fun. Tell it to Xxxxx, jackass. Not required, but typical source of the noise here followed closely by MVP's. The undisputed FACT is every time the idiot Xxxxx shuts his yap for awhile the newsgroup is relatively quite and almost functions like a normal newsgroup. Not a bit surprising you like all the other gutless MVPs never challenge Xxxxx no matter how foul his mouth gets. Guess you're afraid of the little shit. How pitiful for you. Hey fool, I OWN your shit encrusted ass. Everybody sees that. I make you jump by just snapping my fingers. I own you totally. You're all mine to play with. My very own little play thing. I make you bitch. I make you squeal. I make you show yourself as the piece of shit you are. I know how to push your buttons. You obey on my command. Meet Xxxxx, the perfect toy. Push it, step on it, slap it around and it bounces right back like one of those punch dolls. It never learns. It's stupid, damn is Xxxxx stupid. If keeps lying and everyone knows it is lying but he can't stop. Punch Xxxxx in the face, he squeals. Kick him in his dumb ass he just yells. Present facts and he runs away or crawls on his belly. What a loser. I own this moron. Look at the idiot Xxxxx going bonkers. What a psycho asswipe loser! Us "trolls" need to stick together so we get the facts out. That always makes the fanboys pissy. Being called a troll by the morons should be considered a compliment since everyone knows who's telling the truth and who's always lying their asses off. Say Xxxxx, I bet if you practice hard you can stand on one leg and still piss. Get back to us once you're able to do that for 10 seconds without falling down or getting yourself wet. FACTS Xxxxx? Where are they in your above rant? What's that, some little shit stain like you doesn't deal in facts and only spews shit out of his big fat mouth? Well yes, we know. Everybody laugh at Xxxxx, this NG's biggest putz. Lets see... I read Xxxxx's above bluster twice just to be sure. Not one word offering proof of what he constantly babbles. Guess that makes Xxxxx a fucking asshole, moron, fuckwit and putz. I own your shit encrusted ass Xxxxx. Now get back to dancing your stupid jig for our amusement little man. Well asshole, got any FACTS to back up your assertions? No? Well golly, what else is new, you stupid old fool. Damn, I like making a total fool out of Xxxxx. It's my hobby to expose him and every other asshole that posts here as the idiots they are. Now little man, you want to drag out that "properly install and configure" bullshit one more time? Back to your old properly install and configure bullshit? Hey shit bag, quote where in Microsoft help system, on their web site or in their Knowledgebase it says you must "configure Vista properly" doing A, B and C. You stupid loon, I'm calling your bluff. The FACT is there is no such thing. You simply answer a few basic questions like your time zone, the name if any you wish to give to your computer, select a password and Vista does the rest. Stop pretending you know some secret handshake or some other bullshit. You're full of crap. No need for me to call you a asshole, everyone knows already, but gosh damn, it is so much fun to remind them that's all you are. Xxxxx is such a asshole he actually believes that line of crap. Still trying to peddle the same slop. You can't really blame Xxxxx, he's just a fucking idiot that can't think so he just keeps repeating the same lies.

Hi, I used to open usb storage devices by choosing an option from a menu
when I inserted my usb device. Now autoplay doesn't open these storage
devices and I have to open my computer and access the folders from there. I
have tried changing autoplay settings but still not working. Maybe there's
a box that I haven't ticked or something. My media center also won't open
videos but will play DVDs. Can someone help? Thanks

Usually that is caused by bad entries in the registry. Locations like (but
not exactly)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}\##?#USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_OLYMPUS&Prod_FE210#X775&Rev_1.00#X61047734#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_07b4&Pid_0109\X61047734

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_OLYMPUS&Prod_FE210/X775&Rev_1.00\X61047734

You can try exporting and deleting those type of entries, and see if it
helps. If not run the exported ?.REG files to restore the registry entries.
