    - Announcing the Windows Search 4.0 Preview http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/03/27/announcing-the-windows-search-4-0-preview.aspx Notice that they acknowledge the bugs, that the vista fanboys claim didn't exist? LOL idiots... lets hope this one will be better than the extremely bad designed and implemented CRAP search of vista (this installs on non vista OS too, like XP) Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista!

    - Vista Boot Failure - never gets to login Hi, I have a 3month old PC - clean installed with Vista Home Prem OEM. As of 8 days ago will not finish booting - simply ends with a mouse pointer on a black screen (pointer moves when mouse is moved). Have tried - everything - full memory diagnostics, chkdsk /r, System restore (found no restore points), all SAFE modes, Last good config. In place upgrade is disabled as it is an OEM build. Intel P35 chipset MB, E6850 CPU. No new hardware installed. No bug check codes displayed (no blue screen). Was fully up to date with WU, and drivers - and was running well since built. It is as if the profile is corrupt - but there was no indication of a problem. If this was Win XP I would do a Repair Install. Obviously no way to do that in Vista. This was before SP1 came out this week. The drive has been fully scanned for virii and spyware (HDD added to a clean working system and scanned), came up clean. I do not want to give up and clean install - there has to be another way. I have been a PC tech since 1986 - and VERY RARELY give up. 4net Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 351255

    - USB devices in Vista 64 Home Preimum Hello. I have vista 64 home preimum installed. Now in the begining USB devices worked fine, you put them in and vista reckonises them as per all the drivers pre installed (as XP was) But then my mate came round with his mobile phone that acts as a memory stick too, it would reckonise his phones memory stick, so i downloaded the software for the phone and that seemed to work using the phones software. But from then on, no usb memory devices work at all, vista wont locate the drivers it says, whats up? Any fix please?? Very desperate? Thanks Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 351220

    - Looking for Utility to Repair vista bootloader? I trying to dual boot with xp, & part of this process involves having a vista cd to repair the bootloader. But my computer only came with Restore cd. So I am looking for a utility program to fix the bootloader (instead of using vista cd to repair it). I posted this on a different group: I bought a Gateway computer ( http://tinyurl.com/2x5uwa ) with vista, but it only comes with recovery CD not the original. I was following the instruction as per this website http://tinyurl.com/3xepar. So I installed xp successfully. Now at this point I should be putting the vista cd and select repair to fix the bootloader. But I only have the restore cd. I tried putting it in. The first screen it gives me does not have the vista option. Instead it's a Gateway recovery screen. You have two options, do you want to run from disc or from small recovery partition on the hard drive. I assume if I continue on this path it will partition my system back to one, just like it was originally. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 351192

    - Windows not booting properly Hello, My computer is using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, and as of now it's really hard to turn on my computer. It began yesterday, I turned my computer on and it would crash in the middle of loading up Vista. It usually freezes at the part where you are told how much ram your computer has but has also frozen in various other parts while loading and is irritating me since most of the times it never boots properly. I often get into a black screen asking me if I want to enter safe mode or go to Windows normally. Sometimes, after turning it on and off in an attempt of trial and error, I can somehow manage to get it to work as it did now as I'm typing the message. Nonetheless, The only thing I can give you guys about this is: 1. I got an error once on a black screen that specified me that the /windows/system32/ntkrnlpa.exe "kernel is missing". 2. Another time I got in a blue screen with lots of information in it but what seemed to be the highlight of everything was the file "ntfs.sys". 3. Sometimes, when I turn on my computer, it freezes and makes a never ending beep. Anyone know how can I fix this or do I need to send my computer to maintenance? Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista!

    - NVIDIA GForce 6150 Driver Issue with Vista I upgraded to Vista after purchasing my computer in Dec. For some reason, everytime I start my computer, I get a box saying Windows needs to install Divice Driver for NVIDIA GForce 6150... If I let it download, it messes up my computer and I can't get online. I had to call my internet service provider and have them help me to go back to before it installed. But the problem is that each time I restart the computer, the same message comes up. Obviously there is no way around this update but if it is not compatible with Vista or my computer, what can be done? Thanks. Marie Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 351112

    - Which external HDD is compatible with Vista x64? I am trying to find an external hard disk drive that is fully compatible with Vista x64. I purchased a Western Digital My Book Premium II drive and it doesn't work properly even though their web site states that is Vista compatible. I contacted them and they fairly ridiculed me for assuming that that meant it would be compatible with 64-bit Vista. I can still use the drive to actually copy files to but there is no 64-bit driver so the bundled software doesn't work and Vista keeps telling me that it needs to install a driver for this device. I contacted Seagate about their FreeAgent Pro product and they claim it should work even though there is also no 64-bit driver for it. I don't trust that statement after my experience with the WD drive. Does anyone have an external HDD that works fully with Vista x64? -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) Tag: pink elephants?

    - User-oriented vs subject-oriented storage configuration Whenever you want to store something in Vista, it directs you by default to your own user's storage area, and not to a specific disk (or disk directory). The way user-oriented storage is organised (named) changes with every version of OS, which creates havoc if you're interested in storing information in an orderly manner for more than about , 6 months, or if you use more than one OS. Similarly, by default, Unix/Linux lets you write only to your own area. The reason for this is apparantly security To an ordinary user, this user-based system is absurd: the most obvious example is that family photos should go into a shared family photos directory, not to some obscure user-specific storage area with an alias instead of a name. With V*sta, every time you want to store a photo, you have to click on 'My computer' (or whatever it is in English nowadays), and then work through the directory structure. Another example of M$ user-unfriendliness: I had to stop using Excel when M$ decided (W2000) that template files (xlt) should be user-specific (each user needs his/her own copy in his/her own user area; try maintaining that for 40 users...). That isn't what templates are about. Why can't an OS have an option that allows a user to have the disk structure as the default 'save' option for storage? Regards Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista!

    - "Computer" on Vista Home Premium This morning while on at our Club's Computer Class room, I was performing some updates on one of the new (yesterday) HP desktop computers. Then, I thought I would place some images on the computer for use in the Photoshop class. No matter how I opened the "Computer" I could see the folders on the left. Once I would click on a folder to display the contents, the contents appeared but the folders went away. Therefore there was no means of using drag and drop to move the images from the USB flash drive to the Pictures folder. As it turned out, there is no way to drag and drop any file to any folder. Any thoughts? Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 350992

    - SP1 - big disappointment for me I have been hanging on with Vista in case SP1 fixed all the bugs and have been running it for a few days now - but still the big problems persist - I still get random catastrophic USB failures. Seems that Vista just cannot cope with multiple USB connections as well as XP can. The folder settinsg seem to get remembered a bit better now, but I still cannot understand the "logic" which decides what folders are opened with what settings. They just seem totally random to me, bearing no relation to the content. At least now the manual changes are remembered until the next time though..... It is still dismally slow to reboot. And still the annoying "permission required" warnings when I want to delete something obviously redundant (eg leftover foldes from uninstalled software). Still too much bloat and incompatibility with other microsoft products (eg microsoft fingerprint reader and sidebar do not coexist without conflict, windows fax files are not included in Vista backups and you can't move the fax default folder to somewhere that is included in backups without crashing fax, DEP still prevents downloading of jpeg movies from a microsoft telephone via microsoft mobile device center, and liveone care still not properly compatible with Vista). If Microsoft can't even make their own products compatible with one another then it is no surprise that Vista does not work with a whole load of other perfectly good software. DISASTER!!! I'm now taking the plunge to format and reinstall everything on XP. Thank you Microsoft for wasting my time!!! Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 350976

    - Copy user profiles / overwriting defalut profile The setup of my pc was done from a local admin account. Now i'm going to join a domain but the new profile is done on basis of "default user". I tried to copy the 'admin' profile into the 'default' profile (loged on from a third account with admin prev) doing: 1. Control Panel\System. 2. Click on Advanced System Settings. 3. Click Settings button under the User Profiles section. 4. Click the profile you want to copy. 5. Click Copy to and type in or browse for the profile you want to overwrite. 6. Click the Permitted to use button and add all user accounts that you want to give full control of the profile to. 7. Click Ok. Vista tells me that there is someting wrong with the new (domainbased) profile and as a result using a 'temporary' profile. Instead of coping to 'default' profile i tried to copy to the domain profile => no error messages but a complete migration of the conf. is not done (desktop background, icons etc) Any suggestions?

    - My Favorites has moved to a folder I went to my favorites today (the yellow star symbol on the browser) and got this message C:\users\ch\videos\favorites\ favorites refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or a network, then try again. If it still cannot be located it may have been moved to a different location. Now I have been using the pc every day and have made no changes of which I am aware. I only managed to find where my favorites had gone, by using SEARCH. I found them in a folder all set out in individual folders. But clicking the "star" only brings up the error message I mentioned, and trying "add to Favorites" puts them in the folder mentioned above. I discovered they are in a folder named Vista (C:) >users>ch>videos>favourites, which I never made, as far as I am aware. I want to know how to get them back to the conventional list I had before. I have Windows Vista and IE7. Tag: pink elephants? A pink vista! Tag: 350953
