    - DVD drives Problem Greetings, Some months ago I installed Vista Ultimate 32bit over XP. It has been working OK since then however just a few days ago, the Sony DVD drives (a DVD-rw and DVD-r) ceased being identified by their model numbers to be labeled as generic 'cd drives". I have tried a few things in 'System" such as forcing a new identification through Scan for Hardware Changes and Driver Update but the problem remains. Following a suggestion generated by Vista, I uninstalled the drive for the burner and tried to reinstall it. It failed. On doing a restart, it identified the make and model correctly yet still reported a 'problem' without installing the drive. Has anyone an idea what is wrong here?

    - My boot Hangs Problem I had written asking help. Now, I help out at another site and am always insisting MS is not the cause of most of our problems. I broke that tradidtion w/you here and everyone here insisted I had a hardware problem. I didn't like the answer. Till some other friends got me thinking. I have a power conditioner from an old DEC mainframe in front of my system. Found a slow/leaky capacitor and now all is well. Always offer multiple options and don't give in to people like me! Even an old time computer junkie from the days of the CPM OS sometimes can't think past their own good sense. Tag: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) Tag: 351638

    - Vista home premium problems Lol I think that Vista is a joke PERIOD!!!!! First of all my windows media player 11 naffs up cant get it to work no matter what a try as I cant be bothered doing a reinstall. trying to use Vista in admin mode is utter trash, as I cant seem to edit alter replace files as it states I need and administrators permission in which I'm in the admin mode! Internet explorer now seems to have gone utter crap even when I use a restore its still the same.. and to make things even more of a joke Microsoft want me to pay them £46.50 just for a reply to an email. if anyone out there knows of any ways around these problems without having to reinstall would be much appreciated. And for now I will not be purchasing another MS product if I'm going to pay for support. Tag: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) Tag: 351632

    - Vista: the worst system ever! Just delete my files impossible to recovery! This is the second time this happen with me with Windows Vista, its a shame Microsoft release such trash. I just try to move or delete a file from a folder, Windows says that is not possible (!) I press OK and all files on that folder just desapear. I use search and the files are still there (even if windows explorer do not show them). But if I try to open the file from search window: file not found. The missing files cant be found at the trash or any other place. Great! Tag: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) Tag: 351631

    - Vista SP1 - Dell Inspiron 531 Have just successfully installed SP1 on my Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron - Dual core AMD, 2GB RAM, Nvidia Graphics card. Windowsupdate was not offering me SP1 (Realtek HD Audio Drivers issue I believe) so I download the 400mb+ version of SP1. Before installing:- a) Update Realtek HD Audio drivers from http://tinyurl.com/yjvyhr b) Uninstalled Logitech Pro 5000 web cam c) Removed UPS usb sensor cable d) Unplugged all other usb devices e) Ran Windows Update twice (first time got yet another update for NVIDIA and older REALTEK drivers (but from Microsoft) - so decided to let windows have its preferences in this respect. The second time to see if any other updates turned up or indeed is SP1 was suddenly available - alas not a sausage) f) Backed up all important data to external drive g) Shut down extraneous services in Task Pane - stop AV resident shield service h) Run SP1 and go and make tea and return 45 mins later The whole process took about an hour, was seamless and I was able to reinstall the Logitek cam from drivers offered me by Windows update in no time at all. Post install my PC is running really well and, so far, there are no issues at all. Hope this is of some help to others wanting to take the plunge and install SP1.

    - Study sees Microsoft brand in sharp decline MY COMMENT> Of course I predicted all this the very moment I set my eyes on an early beta of Vista. I knew this was very bad news for MS. If vista was good, then it would have saved MS, but vista has been Microsoft's worst product EVER (and Im not joking when I say that). Companies don't go near it, any respected IT person would never tell a business to install Vista... Vista has been hated and kicked around all over the internet... the blogosphere and videoshpere is full of vista jokes and bashes... And now MS is without inspiration, windows7 seems too much like vista... and that's a big problem. They need some new brilliant minds and to open their ears to what people really need, but is the time enough to change the course of things? ARTICLE> http://www.activewin.com/awin/comments.asp?HeadlineIndex=43229 Microsoft's brand power has been in sharp decline over the past four years, an indication the company is losing credibility and mindshare with U.S. business users, according to a recent study by market research firm CoreBrand.According to the CoreBrand Power 100 2007 study , which polled about 12,000 U.S. business decision-makers, Microsoft dropped from number 12 in the ranking of the most powerful U.S. company brands in 2004 to number 59 last year. In 1996, the company ranked number 1 in brand power among 1,200 top companies in about 50 industries, said James Gregory, CEO of CoreBrand. Tag: The system cannot find the file specified.

    - request for spline curves for Vista, XP OS Vista and XP come with the capability of doing Bezier curves. that came with NT if I remember right. controlling Bezier curves is like Alice in Wonderland trying to use a flamingo as a croquet mallet. I'm not saying take bezier curves out, because paint programs and people use them. I am saying "Add spline curves", such as Akima Spline. with splines you just pick the points along the curve you want, and it fits the curve to those points. simple. only gotcha is that you need extra points around sharp edges.

    - Windows Defender and Blocked Programs I just installed Vista Ultimate. Everything so far is running pretty good. Only problem I have is a startup program that I have installed and have been running for probably 10 years. It is updated regularly and is updated for Vista. I have read through several posts regarding Defender, but can't find anything about adding a program to the allowed list. One KB Article says to click on Always Allow in the Action Window, but I am either not looking at the Action Window, I am assuming it is the tray icon that shows what programs are being blocked, or Always Allow isn't an option. I open Defender, the program is listed there as "Not Yet Specified". I go to Tools > Options and have added the program to the "Do not scan these files or locations" area but it is still being picked up when the computer starts or reboots. So next I go to the "Allowed Items" section under Tools, but there is no option of choosing what I want to allow. So my question is this: How do I add this program to the Allowed items list so that it will stop being blocked? Tag: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) Tag: 351593

    - Corrupt Reg Keys? I have a 3 month old Dell XPS 420 Desk Top at home, with Vista Home Premium. The only users are the wife and I and we are both administrators. For a couple of months now we have been unable to access the Power Options. Windows tells us "Your Power Plan Isnt Available". When I look under Help, the following message appears; "Some of your power management settings, or the registry keys that are associated with those settings, have been deleted or corrupted. For more information, contact your 'system administrator' (mshelp://windows/?id=5122fb88-217f-4206-8cf4-0a3b64e54873#gtmt_system_administrator_def). Also, your system administrator may have changed the user rights that are associated with the plans and the power settings that make up those plans" Any ideas on what to do?

    - Boot failure for about 1 in 5 starts On my brand new Dell Precision laptop with Vista Business x64, I find that about 1 in 5 starts gets as far as the green progress/activity indicator bar then brings up a completely black screen but never progresses to the giant orb so that I can log in. Rebooting then brings up the suggestion to enter startup repair which I do and which has always (so far at least) solved the problem. The machine then boots normally. Any idea what is causing these intermittent boot failures? Any way to fix them? It's very counter productive to have to wait 15-20 minutes for startup repair to do its thing every so often. -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) Tag: The system cannot find the file specified.

    - Blue Screen error code 0x100000c5 Hi everybody, Any ideas how to fix a blue screen with error code 0x100000c5? I have this brand-new computer HP with Vista Home (not even a month old). I bought the upgrade to Vista Buisness, but it upgraded it to Vista Ultimate. Now, everytime that I: 1. have an application that requires attention, like for example: * open Notepad, * write something, * go to File -> Save 2. Ask for a shut down, 3. A black screen appears saying that there are open applications and that I will loose info if I continue, but I click on the shutdown button anyway, Then: * The next time I try to turn the computer on I get a blue screen just before the User Logon screen, with an error code of 0x100000c5 (0x00, 0x02, 0x01, 0x81ce88d9). * The next time I try to turn the computer, there is a 50% chances I get the blue screen again. * The third time I try to turn the computer almost always work. ... HOWEVER ... If I first close all open applications and then shut down the computer, everything works well. This tells me that this is not a hardware or driver issue. If it were just a mere user, everything would be under control. But this is the director's company PC. Any help is greatelly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!!!

    - Changing Restore Point settings, files? Is there any way to change the amount of disk space used by the System Restore system for storing Restore Points? Or to delete restore points? I want to try to ensure that I keep the restore point made immediately prior to updating to SP1, and that Point is the oldest one listed. I'm afraid that I'm about to try one thing too many that will cause Vista to delete that Point in order to remain within its set total size allotment.

    - USB "Gigabank" 8 gig portable device not found I've tried disk management, I've tried disabling all my usb ports, I still have no answers. When I first go this device, it worked. No problems. After I removed it from my system and plugged it back in a few days later, it doesn't work. I think? You can hear the USB chime, but nothing ever shows up. If I look in disk management, it appears something is there, but when i right click it I only get the "help" option, unlike the other disks that let me assign drive letters and what have you.

    - Odds and Inns I would just like to say that Vista has ups and downs, just like Windows 98 did so they made Windows 98 SE. I think Microsoft is producing OS to fast. By the time XP was released yes it had issues yes MS fixed them and then BAM a new OS Vista is now available. I think Aero is ok but not great so we should have kept XP Pro killed XP Home and offered a SP3 with a system analyzer to see if Aero and other "Vista type" Improvements would work on your system. Just think in 3 years give or take a few Windows 7 or what ever they are calling it by that time will be out and the problems from Vista will just be on the way to getting fixed. I hope MS extends the Licensing for XP Pro past 2009. I tend to see things in a different light than most I think but here is my interpretation of what the Windows Versions should have lived up to again this is just my common sense approach and I did not go to MIT or anything, but do hold my Associates in Computer Science. Windows XP Home Edition SP2 - Key word here is Home - XP Home Edition did its job well to start with because it was easier for home users to find stuff over ME and 2000. However a major flaw with RDP and other networking abilities. Windows XP Professional SP2 - Key word Professional - XP Pro was just like XP Home with larger networking abilities and dynamic disk support and encryption of the NTFS filling system. I think these features should have been available for home users including RDP with the exception of Dynamic Disk Support because many "home" users would not know what that is anyway. Now I will move on to the many versions and editions of Vista. Vista Home Basic - This version is over priced simply because it is basic your better off with XP Home. I would have liked to see this version of Windows retail for $50.00 for OEM and $65.00 for Retail Vista Home Premium - When I think of MS and the word Premium I am thinking top of the line. I was greatly disappointed in features and expandability with VHP (Vista Home Premium) I wanted RDP to actually work, full IIS integration w/ support for Web Servers and Virtual Directories, Network Management Console would have helped as well so I could see and manage all my systems in my home along with printers etc. Less overhead for networking, Less of a dumb system. Clarification: Network Management Console as see by Home Users: I want to be able to see my son's computer and printers etc and setup features and fix problems through RDP. Basically using the Master/Slave type configuration where my system is the Primary on the network and his is more like a client or subordinate system which I could setup policy via a nice Icon with real world explanations along with explanation videos to help the parent set things up the right way the first time not an automated system that MS controls. VHP is not Premium when Windows 2000 Pro offers more for less. This version should have retailed for $120.00 for OEM and $135.00 Retail Vista Business - This is a more complete OS for home users. It offers XP Home, XP Pro, and VHP in one. For the average business person this OS falls short. It is like using MS Money when you should have used QuickBooks Pro. BTW for a Business OS While it covered Networking pretty good no real business tools are found, I would have expected to have had a version of Money being it is MS Proprietary, Office 2007 Enterprise Edition, detailed view (video) of Forefront also a $100.00 off Ticket for Expression Web and related items. Accounting Software. All of this was missing from a so called Business version look at all the missed opportunities to educate new business owners and workers on what is new. With large corporations that have license agreements or any one person that activates over 300 copies of Vista Business they would receive a Basic version of Windows Server 2008 Free, this would promote more sales and cut down on piracy since large companies get away with it more than your home user. This version should retail for $200.00 OEM and $225.00 Retail now with all the additions including a full functional Office it would Retail for $500.00 OEM and $650.00 for Retail because 1 it is intended for businesses and 2 it has a full version of Office included. Vista Ultimate - Not needed if the other versions would have lived up to expectations maybe rename this version to Windows Gamer Edition with less business stuff and better support for games and better Game Server networking Abilities. Toss in a $100.00 off ticket to the Nvidia 900 Series and 800 Series Video Cards regardless of where you buy it. This version would only be available in a hybrid OEM/Retail version where Nvidia and MS come together to design an OS just for Gamers. Some other things to add value to Windows and catch-up with Linux and Apple. Office should be integrated Better Media Center with more codec's already installed Version tools ie Home =home tools Business = business tools Educated Versions - each version when being installed should ask point blank about familiarity with Windows and Education of the user in IT fields this would prevent annoying the hell out of IT people but allow the OS to be understandable to computer idiots like a dynamic system. A Windows Default Button and Windows System Default Button: Windows Default Button: This button would take only Windows files and settings back to the first time you booted up Windows but not uninstall any of your programs or Documents etc. Windows Updates and settings and Files would be compared to the CD or DVD and reverted back. Windows System Default Button: This button would do the same thing as above, but also erase any non Windows Files such as your programs, MY Documents, etc all gone. A complete restoration of the OS and Deletion of any file not on the CD or DVD. Windows Mail - Delete it Windows Messenger - Delete it Windows Live Mail - Integrated Windows Live Messenger - Integrated Windows Live One Care - Integrated and first year included w/ first activation Windows SkyDrive Integrated and 100GB of storage included w/ Vista Home Premium and Vista Business and fix the timeout issues with uploading large files also SkyDrive will test your internet connection and you must have 4mbps min. I am sure some of you guys/girls will agree with my assessments and some will not helpful criticisms is welcomed that is how we learn and grow stupidity is unwelcomed. I am sure I will have more soon. Tag: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) Tag: 351443

    - The case of the missing CPU cycles This has happened about 4 times now since setting up this brand new quad-core Vista Ultimate PC. There will be nothing running on the system, yet the CPU utilization shows 30-40%. However, the task manager (even with "show all processes from all users") shows nothing using the cpu, other than maybe dwm at 1%. The resource monitor shows the same. However, all four CPU cores are doing something. Visually inspecting the disk shows little or no activity, so it's not vm thrashing. The dwm is slow and lagging -- if I try to open up a command window and drag it, it is slow to redraw. If I type characters into a command window, the keystrokes lag. My suspicion is that it is one of the drivers (probably the graphics driver) that is consuming these cpu cycles, yet Vista is failing to account for it in the process table. I'm using an nvidia 8800GTS video card. Anyone else experience this problem? Does anyone know a way to "reboot" just the graphics subsystem (i.e. restart the video drivers while Vista is running)?

    - What is Windows registry (Registry Keys) Find this tutorial and more on http://thedotnetsource.blogspot.com Reason of this project: I wrote this tutorial in order to help the hundred of programmers searching on the web for Windows registry. This is an like introduction, if you are seeking how to use and deploy the registry keys with Vb.net, just see the next tutorial (It'll be tutorial 6). In this tutorial I'll show what is the windows registry system and why use it. Project details: 1- What is Windows registry and why use it 2- How to read, write and change the registry 3- HIVES and their use 4- Definition of registry values 1- What is Windows registry and why use it. You can compare the Windows registry to a database. It stores informations related to Windows and other installed application on your system, but also Hardware. Think now if someone need to change the computer name via programming. How can he do this? Programmers can think of files (text files) to store the computer and windows information. But when file get big and heavy, Database will be more secure. And then they had (Windows builder) the choice of a database "Windows Registry". Microsoft Dot Net Frame 1.1 and higher have implemented a great solution for registry on their classes. This will replace the hard work and long lines of code that programmers have to write if they are using Visual Studio 6.0 for example. 2- How to read, write and change the registry Windows has a wonderful tool on it, named "Registry Editor". But you won't find it, unless you open the System32 folder on the Windows folder. But we can easily run it through the execute command it the start menu. Just type "regedit" (without quotes). Now the registry editor will open. Please before doing any changes on your registry make a backup. To do a windows registry backup: File > Export > Give a name for the file and select the All option box. The backup may block your pc from working for a short period of time. You'll see that there are 5 folder. Those are the main folder (named hives) and you can't add another main folder. Now you can select any folder and right click on it, then add a new sub-folder or value. By selecting any folder and right clicking, you'll find a list of action that you can do. If the action is blended (made not selectable), then either it's impossible or you don't have the rights to do this action. You need administrator rights to change registry keys. 3- HIVES (main registry folders) and their use The registry is split into a number of logical sections named "hives", those are the top main folder that can added, edited or renamed. They all start with "HKEY" prefix. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Stores information about registered applications, such as Associations from File Extensions and OLE Object Class ID's tying them to the applications used to handle these items. HKEY_CURRENT_USER Stores settings that are specific to the currently logged-in user. The HKCU key is a link to the subkey of HKEY_USERS that corresponds to the user; the same information is reflected in both locations. On Windows- NT based systems, each users' settings are stored in their own files called NTUSER.DAT and USRCLASS.DAT inside their own documents and settings subfolder. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Abbreviated HKLM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE stores settings that are general to all users on the computer. On NT-based versions of Windows, HKLM contains four subkeys, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE and SYSTEM, that are found within their respective files located in the %SystemRoot% \System32\Config folder. A fifth subkey, HARDWARE, is volatile and is created dynamically, and as such is not stored in a file. Information about system hardware drivers and services are located under the SYSTEM subkey, whilst the SOFTWARE subkey contains software and windows settings. HKEY_USERS Contains subkeys corresponding to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys for each user registered on the machine. HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG Contains information gathered at runtime; information stored in this key is not permanently stored on disk, but rather regenerated at boot time. 4- Definition of registry values Binary Value REG_BINARY Raw binary data. Most hardware component information is stored as binary data and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format. DWORD Value REG_DWORD Data represented by a number that is 4 bytes long (a 32-bit integer). Many parameters for device drivers and services are this type and are displayed in Registry Editor in binary, hexadecimal, or decimal format. Related values are DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN (least significant byte is at the lowest address) and REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN (least significant byte is at the highest address). Expandable String Value REG_EXPAND_SZ A variable-length data string. This data type includes variables that are resolved when a program or service uses the data. Multi-String Value REG_MULTI_SZ A multiple string. Values that contain lists or multiple values in a form that people can read are generally this type. Entries are separated by spaces, commas, or other marks. String Value REG_SZ A fixed-length text string. Binary Value REG_RESOURCE_LIST A series of nested arrays that is designed to store a resource list that is used by a hardware device driver or one of the physical devices it controls. This data is detected and written in the \ResourceMap tree by the system and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value. Binary Value REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST A series of nested arrays that is designed to store a device driver's list of possible hardware resources the driver or one of the physical devices it controls can use. The system writes a subset of this list in the \ResourceMap tree. This data is detected by the system and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value. Binary Value REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR A series of nested arrays that is designed to store a resource list that is used by a physical hardware device. This data is detected and written in the \HardwareDescription tree by the system and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value. None REG_NONE Data without any particular type. This data is written to the registry by the system or applications and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value Link REG_LINK A Unicode string naming a symbolic link. QWORD Value REG_QWORD Data represented by a number that is a 64-bit integer. This data is displayed in Registry Editor as a Binary Value and was introduced in Windows 2000.

    - Dual Vista installations, 64bit installation can't see 1st hard drive Computer: Dell Inspiron 1720, 2.4 Core2Duo, 4GB RAM, 2 internal SATA disks. 1st hard drive, from the factory with Home Premium, single NTFS partition. 2nd hard drive, installed Vista x64 Ultimate, single NTFS partition. When booting to the 1st drive, Home Premium can see both disks and all partitions as expected. However, when booting to Vista x64 from the second disk, it becomes "C:" and does not even acknowledge the first hard disk is even in the machine. The only other problem is that the 64-bit installation doesn't keep the laptop as cool and is noticeably warmer/hotter. Aside from these 2 issues, Vista 64 runs well.

SUCCESS!!!!
Having suffered from exactly your problem and tried absolutely everything
that apears in these forums on the subject, I'm very pleased to report that
the second attempt to Repair Install Vista from the (Medion) Recovery Disc
worked fine AND I have now successfully run a backup! For information, the
second time, having finally managed to delete (from the FileRepository in
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore) the newer nVidia graphics drivers that
always crash my PC, I ran it with UAC active, Windows Features turned off
along with Virus & Spyware protection. It took about 2 hours (without Windows
Updates - I have that pleasure to come!), and so far, everything except the
Media Centre (and its remote control) seems to be working as expected.
