    - Duplicating Quick Launch Toolbar I would like to duplicate the QL Toolbar. I've tried using the other toolbars, but they put the entire name of the application, instead of just the icon. Is there a way to create another QL Toolbar in Vista? Thanks, Mitch Tag: New nVidia BETA (169.28 10 January 2008) ForceWare Drivers Tag: 301448

    - HDD becomes "Write Protected" Hi, I am running Vista Business 64bit an an Asus P5WD-Deleux with four hard drives. Three on Intel S-ATA controller and one on the Jmicron controller. For no apparent reason Vista will set the drive on the Jmicron controller to Write Protected. I have changed the drive thinking it may have been a hardware fault but it still happens. Sometimes running chkdsk /f on it will change it back to normal, other times it won't and stays that way until I reboot and then run chkdsk /f. This Vista prep is around a year old and this has only just (over the last couple of months) started happening. Has anyone got any ideas?

    - Fixing MBR on a laptop I installed Ubuntu on a USB drive and it over wrote Master Boot Record on my Vista hard drive. Now I cannot boot my laptop without USB drive being connected to the laptop. I found the instructions on how to use the Bootrec.exe tool, but that requires Windows Vista installation DVD. Vista was installed from laptop's hard drive when it was started for the first time. So I have no installation disc. How can I fix this?

    - email synch across multiple computers Cox Cable is internet provider. I loaded Windows Live mail on one computer with XP and on another computer with Vista. I can send and receive emails from both of our email accounts on both computers. But when I send it from one computer, it does not show up as sent mail on the other. If I receive email on one, read it, and delete it, it still shows up in my inbox on the other computer. Is there something I need to do to synchronize my email accounts across both computers?

    - preventing the welcome center from showing how do disable the welcome center from showing? is this done with the file oobe.xml. actually what i would like to do is start vista and start running a custom shell (not explorer.exe) again would oobe.xml be involved in that process or is there a "bigger" idea that would cause vista to skip the login screen, the welcome center and just move to running the shell as designated by the registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \Winlogon] "Shell"="Explorer.exe" (or something else) thanks black_13 Tag: New nVidia BETA (169.28 10 January 2008) ForceWare Drivers Tag: 301426

    - What could make Ultimate this slow? I've been using Vista Ultimate for six or so uneventful months. Two days ago, it seemed to be hanging on the "Welcome" screen, but worked fine in safe mode. Today, I tried to start it normally again, and it again seemed to hang on welcome. I forgot about it, then noticed 1/2 hour later that my desktop started to appear, and after about two hours it had finished booting up. I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions.

    - 6TO4 Adapter Here is an odd problem. Ever since I have had my laptop (which came with Vista Home Premium installed) device manager shows under Network adapters that the 6TO4 Adapter is not functioning properly and shows this error: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) Of course when I scan for an updated driver it tells me the driver is up to date. Since I apparently don't use this device (I assume it's for IPv6 connectivity) it's never impacted my system but I am curious as to how to fix the problem. -- Mark R.

    - Vista causes duplicate IP addresses After installing Windows Vista I get a single network adapter assigned two IP addresses which causes a conflict everytime I start up. I disable and enable the adapter and the problem goes away. Then I can connect to the internet. There is only one single network adapter on my PC. I did not have this problem with XP. I upgraded yesterday and this seems to be my only issue. How do I solve this, so I can connect to the Internet without this step?

    - File is hidden?? Hi Groupies Last night I was working on an Access database. I closed the file and its folder and then decided to go back in to check something. I opened the folder and THE FILE WASN'T THERE!! Panic and chaos ensued for a while. I was able to find the file by going back into access and opening it from it's most recently used file list. I saved a backup copy etc..... However, the original file is still not showing up in the folder. I have changed the folder settings to show hidden files, done a search, everything I can think of, but the file won't show up. Thinking that the original is somewhere else and perhaps I have just lost it, I moved a backup copy into the original folder and tried to change it's name to that of the original file. Windows gives me the warning that a file with that name already exists ?!?!?!! If it exists, how come I can't see it? The folder says there are 9 items but there are actually 10 if you include this ghost file. Any ideas??? -- Thanks for taking the time!

    - Vista blocks the EHLO command in SMTP port 25 I cannot send E-mails using SMTP port 25. I have analyzed the problem using TELNET and found out that Vista blocks the EHLO command but not the HELO command. Vista: TELNET o smtp.galnet.dk 25 220 mail-smtp2.ode.cdnet.dk ESMTP EHLO MyPC <timeout> To verify that the problem is not an ISP issue I have tried exactly the same using Windows XP: TELNET o smtp.galnet.dk 25 220 mail-smtp2.ode.cdnet.dk ESMTP EHLO MyPC 250-mail-smtp2.ode.cdnet.dk 250 ... The Vista is a Home Edition with no Anti Virus and with a disabled firewall. Unfortunately my ISP does not support an alternative SMTP port.

    - CNN was using FIREFOX lol I was watching CNN, and in one moment it started showing a woman talking and showing some content on a browser, this was in CNN studios... I was recoding this on my TV tuner card, so I went back out of curiosity and zoomed in to see what the browser they were using was... It was firefox 2.0 lol The OS interface was not apparent.. it might of even have been linux or unix.. If CNN is using firefox.. I guess that tells us something about IE7 .... what? That its a CRAP browser? Firefox is gaining more and more momentum more so even AFTER IE7 was released.. MS had hoped that after IE7 was released they would stop the surge of people going to firefox, the opposite was true.. after seeing the horrible interface of IE7 people started abandoning it far more faster.. and with good reason.. that UI is not usable.. even with add ones like IE7 pro its still horrible. I personally use AVANT or Firefox.. avant still uses the IE7 (trident) rendering engine, but goes away from that stupid IE7 interface.. if you want to check it out www.avantbrowser.com Microsoft doesn't have to fear its competition...its destroying its own products!

    - Missing(?) files in Vista Hi, I am having a little problem in Vista. Have a VB6 program that does some voice to text and text to voice conversion on my older PC running under Windows XP. It works fine in XP but not in my new Vista PC. Two smallish files Xlisten.dll and Xvoice.dll are missing in Vista. My questions are: Can I just copy the 2 missing *.dll files to Vista Windows directory, and register them mannually? Or are these *.dll files are just a bridge to something bigger that may also be absent in Vista? Thanks Tag: New nVidia BETA (169.28 10 January 2008) ForceWare Drivers Tag: 301326

    - Age of Mythology doesn't work on Vista anymore after update Hi! After the last ca. 10 updates of vista, the Microsoft game "Age of Mythology" doesn't work anymore (I don't know the exact number, because I haven't played the game for a couple of months). I reinstalled the game about six times with no effect. Vista always shows the error "Initialization failed" (in German: "Initialisierung fehlgeschlagen") and doesn't start the game. Before the updates there was no problem during the game. Can anybody help me? I tried to use the Microsoft-Support, but the server told me, that my porduct-id doesn't exist however I registrated the product in march. Can you believe it? Please help me!! Thank you very much!

    - Defender Scanning Issues I have my Defender set to perform a daily scan at noon each day. So far, so good. However, once in a while (three times in the last seven days) I have received a Defender message informing me that I have not scanned my computer for 7, or 9 or 12 days. I did try to contact Microsoft and they told me, as I am based in the UK, I should get in touch with Microsoft UK who may have an answer to this problem. I have not, as yet, received any communication from them. Any ideas or suggestions to this problem or should I just uninstall Defender as others have done. I have Windows Defender ticked as 'join with advanced membership' not that this appears to make any difgference!

    - Can't connect to some web sites Brand new HP laptop, just out of the box. Brand new copy of Vista Premium. Yet I am unable to connect to some (seemingly random) websites. For example, I was attempting to download a copy of Avast but I could not get to their web page. IE just never connected. Same with download.com. Finally got a copy from PC world website, but I can't connect to Avast to download the updates or register the product. This works fine from my work computer. Can't access my isp home page -sympatico.msn.ca, however I can access the news page. I believe that this problem is also affecting my ability to use windows mail with my isp's preferred settings. If I go back to my OLD settings (different pop3 server) it works fine, but if I change to the new server it won't connect. Help???

    - Vista Folder Icon Question ? Hi Everybody. I would like to embed a "Folder Icon" into each of my music folders. The folder icon is placed inside the folder and I have assigned that icon to the folder the average way but the path to that icon which is shown in the hidden desktop.ini file is an absolute path. This means that if the folders get transferred to another PC to a different drive with different drive letter the icons wont display. Is there a way to embed the icon or assign the icon with an absolute path? Hope someone here can give me a hand here.

    - So whose fault is it? Microsoft or nVidia? I was just wondering. Is it nVidia's fault or Microsoft's fault that I'm getting 50 less frames per second in every single game? It's not hardware because in XP I get 50 frames more. And Vista 32 isn't exactly a resource hog. It only uses 350 megs of ram for me. So I'm guessing that it's either Vista's implementation of DirectX 9c that's the culprit or nVidia's horrible drivers. If it IS nVidia, there is just no excuse for that. I mean Vista has been out for a year and you still haven't fixed it? And if it is Microsoft's Direct 9 EX in Vista, then what the heck man... I mean can't you just copy and paste the code from DirectX 9c in XP to Vista? I mean whose bright idea was it to use separate teams for the Vista DirectX and the XP DirectX? I'm sure that's what happened. The people on the XP DirectX is probably sabotaging the Vista DirectX team out of spite or something. I'm not entirely sure who to blame really. All I know is Vista is just hurting graphics performance for seemingly no particular reason at all. Maybe I should get a new ATI card...

    - Music Folder Thumbnail Art I'm having major issues with my Music Folder album art. The folder is organised so that each artist has a folder, and within this are separate folders for each album by that artist. This I guess i spretty standard. In the old XP My Music an artist folder would display multiple thumbnail images that were pulled from each of the album folders within it. In vista I'm having problems getting this to happen. All the music is on a separate partition that I have pointed vista too. Any old folders that were set up before my change to vista are still showing album art as described above. So for example the beetles folder has about 3 images of different albums stacked behind one another. When you go down to the next level each album folder displays one album image. The problem comes with new folders made since vista was installed. For these I can go into the album folder add album art, rename it folder.jpg and it will show up at the album folder level. However when I go back up to the artist level there is nothing. Just a standard empty folder icon. I have googled it this problem to death and cannot find out how to tell the artist folder to pull its folder images from the one or more album folders beneath it. If anyone can tell me how to do this I would be incredibly grateful. I know it's not exactly a major problem, but for me it's really annoying.

    - NEW: Vista to XP Downgrades (fore everyone reguardless pf company who sold your pc) - Customers must supply the downgrade media If you have Vista Ultimate or Business you can now install XP instead, before the company who you got the PC needed to give you the OK, now everyone can do it (New process below.. read on) http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-Vista-to-Windows-XP-Downgrades-Media-75757.shtml Enlarge pictureWith the advent of Windows Vista, the issue of downgrading to Windows XP came into the limelight and got a consistent amount of play throughout 2007. Initially, Microsoft had a complex downgrading process in place that forced Windows users to go from Vista to XP through unnecessary activation pains. As a direct consequence of user feedback, the company simplified the downgrading process, in order to streamline the implementation of an older Windows iteration in place of Vista. Here was the old process of downgrading from Vista to XP, courtesy of Microsoft: "when an end user is using their downgrade rights offered under the License Terms in Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate editions, and they use both Windows XP media and product keys that were previously activated, they cannot activate online over the Internet, due to the hardware configuration change when installing on the Windows Vista system. In these cases, the end user is prompted to call the Activation Support Line for assistance. Once it is determined that the end user has a valid Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate license, the support representative can help them activate their software." This is no longer the case at this point, and downgrade users do not have to manually activate each copy of Windows. The move from Microsoft helped made downgrades more mainstream, but at the same time generated a negative aura around the entire process. However, due to the mixed reviews associated with Vista, and because Microsoft is allowing select customers to go back to XP from the latest release of the Windows client, downgrading became virtually an antonym to upgrading. And this is not the case. Not even by far. Customers and, especially, businesses have the option of acquiring new computers, as a part of the process of upgrading their hardware infrastructure, while also buying licenses for the latest Windows version available on the market. This is not to say that their environment is ready for a migration to Vista, and in this context, Microsoft is offering business customers the alternative of running an older variant of Windows until transition plans are complete. "If your license of Windows has downgrade rights, then you can use: 'Volume Licensing media (provided the end user has a Volume Licensing agreement), retail (FPP), or system builder hologram CD (provided the software is acquired in accordance with the Microsoft OEM System Builder License)'. So any media for the qualifying downgrade version that the customer owns through another license already can be used", revealed Eric Ligman, Microsoft US Senior Manager, Small Business Community Engagement. Where does the media come from? Well, Ligman offered the answer: "the downgrade media must be supplied to you from the end user and must come from Microsoft retail, OEM/system builder, or Volume Licensing channels." This actually means that the customer will have to deliver the media for the downgrade, in order for the OEM to take care of the process. The obvious alternative is for the user to perform the downgrade and to take the OEM out of the equation. Tag: New nVidia BETA (169.28 10 January 2008) ForceWare Drivers Tag: 301236

    - OT: AT&T and Other ISPs May Be Getting Ready to Filter Internet Usage (from http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/08/att-and-other-isps-may-be-getting-ready-to-filter/index.html) January 8, 2008, 7:07 pm AT&T and Other ISPs May Be Getting Ready to Filter By Brad Stone For the past fifteen years, Internet service providers have acted - to use an old cliche - as wide-open information super-highways, letting data flow uninterrupted and unimpeded between users and the Internet. But ISPs may be about to embrace a new metaphor: traffic cop. At a small panel discussion about digital piracy here at NBC's booth on the Consumer Electronics Show floor, representatives from NBC, Microsoft, several digital filtering companies and telecom giant AT&T said the time was right to start filtering for copyrighted content at the network level. Such filtering for pirated material already occurs on sites like YouTube and Microsoft's Soapbox, and on some university networks. Network-level filtering means your Internet service provider - Comcast, AT&T, EarthLink, or whoever you send that monthly check to - could soon start sniffing your digital packets, looking for material that infringes on someone's copyright. "What we are already doing to address piracy hasn't been working. There's no secret there," said James Cicconi, senior vice president, external & legal affairs for AT&T. Mr. Cicconi said that AT&T has been talking to technology companies, and members of the MPAA and RIAA, for the last six months about implementing digital fingerprinting techniques on the network level. "We are very interested in a technology based solution and we think a network-based solution is the optimal way to approach this," he said. "We recognize we are not there yet but there are a lot of promising technologies. But we are having an open discussion with a number of content companies, including NBC Universal, to try to explore various technologies that are out there." Internet civil rights organizations oppose network-level filtering, arguing that it amounts to Big Brother monitoring of free speech, and that such filtering could block the use of material that may fall under fair-use legal provisions - uses like parody, which enrich our culture. Rick Cotton, the general counsel of NBC Universal, who has led the company's fights against companies like YouTube for the last three years, clearly doesn't have much tolerance for that line of thinking. "The volume of peer-to-peer traffic online, dominated by copyrighted materials, is overwhelming. That clearly should not be an acceptable, continuing status," he said. "The question is how we collectively collaborate to address this." I asked the panelists how they would respond to objections from their customers over network level filtering - for example, the kind of angry outcry Comcast saw last year, when it was accused of clamping down on BitTorrent traffic on its network. "Whatever we do has to pass muster with consumers and with policy standards. There is going to be a spotlight on it," said Mr. Cicconi of AT&T. After the session, he told me that ISPs like AT&T would have to handle such network filtering delicately, and do more than just stop an upload dead in its tracks, or send a legalistic cease and desist form letter to a customer. "We've got to figure out a friendly way to do it, there's no doubt about it," he said. Tag: New nVidia BETA (169.28 10 January 2008) ForceWare Drivers Tag: 301227
