    - unable to carryout silent registry import - Windows Vista I'm trying to import a batch of reg settings from a personal drive on the network. The syntax is correct regedit /s h:\MyRegSetting.reg Even when I test the reg file with a manual import (Right-click, merge..) it still fails. Yet runs fine when run from a local drive. :mad: Normally this wouldn't bother me but I need to loop through a few settings for about 300 users. Any ideas?

    - folder view resets itself :: BUG! I know every one here has this default Vista (even XP) problem. The problem is that the folder customization / layout never stays the way you set it, even minutes later after closing/re-opening explorer. This is driving me insane. For example, in explorer under Computer I choose large icons. Close, re-open its back to list view instead. Sometimes other folders will somehow change views by themselves too. This is really annoying. Someone suggested a fix months ago, but I do not remember how. Would appreciate tips on this. I *do* already have checked on "remember folder's view settings" enabled as well. Running: Vista Ultimate 64bit w/ SP1 I tried this method, made it even worst: http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=23106 I tried this method too, almost worked: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html Tag: test Tag: 373130

    - Run Vista from an external HD (dual boot with XP on an internal HD) Hi, I am curious if Vista can be run from one of those portable external hard drives that I see in Staples, etc... rather than have to install another internal hard drive. I want to dual-boot with XP (already installed on an internal HD) and it would also be great if I can bring that external HD with us when we travel and hook it up to my wife's XP laptop and be able to boot up in Vista too. We need something for testing our software in Vista. Thanks! -paulw Tag: test Tag: 373123

    - Acccounts in Vista -I'm having trouble I asked this question at the end of a longer thread I'd started, and I guess it is old news so no one looks to see that I've taken advice, but need some more. In short. I've been about a year on my Vista home prem. machine, and have not set up administrator account and so I am using it with its power that I don't quite understand, which they tell me leaves me more open to invaders etc.. So they convinced me. I tried to start a new user account, but saw that it does not have all the files and programs that I depend on. It seems to say, Start over and do all that stuff you did over a year's time all over again. Question: How do I make a user account with what I have? I'd think I could just call what I have now a user account and create an administrator account beside it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Thanks in advance Tag: test Tag: 373088

    - PC's froze this morning So I have two computers using Vista SP1 and both get turned off every night. This morning started up the first pc and everything went fine during boot and log-in. Then when I tried to start an application the p.c froze with the round "hour-glass" timer showing. Didin't think much of it. I re-booted and everything was fine. Started up the 2nd p.c. a while later and exactly the same problem, only this time I went for the "start" menu first and not an application. Now I think this is quite odd. The same problem on different p.c.'s on the same day using the same operating system. Re-booted the 2nd p.c. and again everything is okay. Anyone else have the same problem today?

    - Vista Firewall turns itself off.... I'm really at the end of my tether with this issue - have a laptop which has windows Vista installed. Whenever I boot up the Windows Firewall is turned on. However, towards the end of the boot process, the Windows Firewall turns itself off, almost as if when a program loads it knocks it out. Is there anyway I can do a walk thru' of the boot up process so I can see if I can capture which program or process is doing it? At my wits end. Tag: test Tag: 373041

    - Install vista via Bootable USB drive Hi I had a fire a few months back which burnt my Acer T180 case. I've managed to change the case and get all the parts working again except the DVD rom which was melted and beyond repair. As my whole house is wireless I'm not really bothered about getting a new DVD rom - my other PC controls the network and has a DVD writer inside. Once vista is installed the network will take care of everything. My problem now is how do I reinstall Vista on a PC that has no DVD rom to read my Vista DVD. OK I could swap my DVD around for a few hours by its covered in warranty void stickers and as its new I don't want to risk anything. Is there anyway to convert a Bootable DVD into a Bootable USB drive? I've got a 4 Gig stick which should be fine. My motherboard also boots from USB. I've managed to make a copy of the vista DVD into ISO image but can't find a program that will put the ISO onto a USB drive. Any ideas. Seems a simple enough idea and veyr handy considering the low price of sticks. Rich Tag: test Tag: 373025

    - HOW LONG?! Copying files. I just migrated from Windows XP Pro to Vista Ultimate (64bit). So far things have run *fairly* smoothly, but I am astonished at the length of time it is taking for me to copy files. For instance I want to copy 1/2 dozen folders from my "D" partition to my "C" partition (drag & drop using Windows Explorer - both partitions are NTFS, and I get the same result copying files on the same partition too). These files existed on my previous XP install, and when I copied them from D to C on XP it took around 2 minutes or so. Now the exact same files are taking upwards of 25+ minutes to copy in Vista! Is there some reason why Vista is acting like a decrepit 90 year old? :-) Mike. Tag: test Tag: 372857

In my playing with Vista Ultimate, I have encountered a problem trying to play some avi and mov files, using WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC (mplayerc.exe). I keep getting an error window, saying I probably need certain codecs that I do not have installed. Is there an easy way to determine exactly what codecs are needed? That is, is there a utility that will diagnose that information so that I can then seek it or them on the web?
