Life Drive and Vista

Is there any fix so that I can sync my Life Drive through Vista with programs that have regular updates? Does anyone know if Palm plans to provide Vista friendly Life Drive manager?
I'm very frustrated at this point because this issue has limited the usefulness of my Life Drive for my professional life. I need to get a new phone very soon and wonder if I shouldn't breakdown and get a Smartphone. I like having a small regular phone for all my lives and the Life Drive for professional time. Thoughts?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello horselady and welcome to the Palm forums.
Is there any fix so that I can sync my Life Drive through Vista with programs that have regular updates?
Palm Desktop 4.1.4e should work, for the most part, on Windows Vista. You can install Palm Desktop 6.2 on a Vista computer and the LifeDrive will sync with it, however, ACCESS has removed some features that were previously available in the older Palm editions of Palm Desktop. (Long story short, Palm no longer owns the rights to the Palm OS and the HotSync Manager.)
The latest Windows Vista information can be found here.
Does anyone know if Palm plans to provide Vista friendly Life Drive manager?
No, there will be no Vista compatible version of the Palm LifeDrive Manager application. If you want to work with the files on the "LifeDrive" volume, you will need to put the LifeDrive in Drive Mode to access the files.

Qosmio G30: Conflict between Sigmatel audio driver and Vista SP1

Hello,
I have a Qosmio G30 PQG32E notebook and can't upgrade to Vista SP1 because the Sigmatel driver (6.10.5462.0) is conflicting with the service pack.
As some of you might know, Sigmatel no longer exists and IDT who bought them is as good as non-existent, saying to contact the OEM directly for updated drivers.
Is there any plan to upgrade the audio driver ?
There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
When using Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe proccess consumes 800MB and more after one hour of continuous work.
I am hoping for an updated more stable driver, and more stability from SP1.
Am I a dreamer?

Have your problems started after SP1 installation? Just for info: at the moment Toshiba does not support SP1. I really believe that you have some troubles and because of that I still wait with SP1 installation.
You are right about Qosmio. It costs a lot of money but using delivered recovery image installation you will not have any problem. About memory and how much resources Vista needs you can read everywhere. Even if you close some application RAM will still be occupied with different information. If you start the same application again you will see that application starts second time much faster.
It is Vista!!!
You have really nice notebook and you should upgrade RAM to maximum level. I am pretty the notebook will runs much better and of course faster. For such notebook 2 GB for Vista is really the minimum.

External Drive and Vista problems

I recently got an external drive with the intentions of keeping my iTunes library on it. So far I have had nothing but problems. In the advance prefs. I set the music folder location to my external drive. To test it, I would rip a CD to iTunes (which is installed on the C drive). Sure enough, the library would be in the folder that I designated it in the ex. drive. My problem is that when I open iTunes, it creates a folder under Music on the C drive which contains the library with the ripped CD. Whats the point of putting it on an ex. drive if it automatically puts it in a folder on my computer? Its frustrating because I set the path of the library to my ex. drive. Why is it also putting a copy of the library on my computer under a music folder? Is it a "Vista" thing or an iTunes problem? I need to get this sorted out because I would eventually like to put my whole library (backed up onto discs) into the library only on my external drive before I purchase a new iPod soon. I dont want any music on my C drive because I need the space.

You know what? I figured this out myself the next day with a solution that I haven't seen anywhere else. I understood all the operations of consolidating libraries to seperate drives, but what was creating the problem was vista's fantastic ability to stick anything ripped into the owner/music folder despite where the library path is pointed. The answer was so obvious and simple. I went into the advanced prefs. and changed the library path back to the default owner/music folder. Then I right clicked the owner/music short cut in the start menu, selected properties and made the whole "my music" folder located on the external drive. Now when I plug in my external drive and open windows, the library is pulled from the music folder on the external drive and runs like normal. When I remove the drive and open iTunes, it gives me an error that the library cant be found. When I right click properties on the music icon in the start menu, it says it takes up zero bytes, which is exactly what I want. Its funny how I utilized the problem to get what I wanted.

Pavillion dv9810us DVD/CD-ROM Drive and Vista Device Manager Question.....HELP!!!!!

I have a Laptop, just over a year old, runs Vista Home Premium SP2. Here is the scenario
Hadn't used the DVD/CD-ROM drive for 3 or 4 weeks at which time it worked fine. Tried to use it a couple of days ago and discovered it wouldn't respond. I figured I needed to maybe rollback the Driver or something. I checked in the Device Manager and saw the main HDD was listed but there was no DVD/CD-ROM drive in the Device Manager List. Does Vista remove the DVD/CD-ROM drive if it's inoperable (DEAD) or has something happened that removed the Device from the List. I've had Drives go South before in Windows 98 and 2000 but they were never removed from the Device Manager List they just didn't work but I know Vista is a OS of a different color so I don't know. Just trying to figure out if I'm fighting a Hardware or Software fight here, I'm at a loss and can't afford to just take it into a shop for diagnosis. Any answers or tip on how to definitly isolate the problem would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any Help.

I have the same problem, dvdrw not showing in device manager. Bought a new TS-L632N dvdrw by TSST and it still does not show in device manager. This started after I ordered new recovery disk from HO (vista Home Preminum) and reloaded the OS. I know HP knows about this problem but will not do anything about it. Online support not good and a 500 dollar repair bill would be a waste when you can buy a new laptopn for that.

Premiere Pro CS4 eats my C: drive in Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

I installed Premiere Pro CS4 this last weekend 11-12 April 2009.
I have a Quadcore 3.0GHz with 8Gb of RAM, a 150Gb C: drive fo rthe op sys Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and programs, a 500Go D: drive for general data and a K: drive 2Tb RAID0 volume useable about 1.8Gb.
My C: drive was healthy after installation of Premiere Pro with tens of gigabytes free at least. Then I started experimenting with building projects. I put my files on a mix of the D: and K: drives especially the AVCHD video assets on the K:.
While importing these AVCHD assets I eventually got a message from Vista that the C: drive was full and I did a clean up and that gave approximetely 30Gb free, I went back to importing, in a couple of hours the 30Gb was gone, this can only be Premiere Pro CS4 eating the C: drive and never returning what it takes. This of course is a disaster precisely because it is my op sys drive and Vista will periodically want to make new restore points especially before applying downloaded updates from Microsoft. I ahve run also chkdsk and defragmenter with no effect. I think Premiere Pro is using some sort of secret work files on the C: drive somewhere and that they just accumulate, of course this would be a bug.
Support Center does not appear to let me open web support issues even though we are in the 90-day bug fix period and I have registered the product with the product key so that is another bug that gets in the way of fixing the first.
Any ideas please?
Thanks!
Peter.

Yeah, I did not take backups that often cos I did not intend putting the machine onto the net, then I got this device that said it would protect against everything by isolating my machine and making it invisible, I await the analysis by the company but it does appear not to have worked, the only thing that works is very real physical isolation and do not use the internet at all from the main machine. Like I say it simply is not confirmed yet but neither is it denied. You cannot actually go so far as to blame Adobe because stopping hackers is the job of the op sys vendor really so I blame Microsoft, the only blame for Adobe is the policy that some functions require internet connection in order to work when they know internet is not secure, so for instance if you want to use the emulators for things like these mobile phones they want you to be connected, I tried that one phone emulator and it said so, I wish they just put all documentation and all software on the DVD. I can roll back to an earlier Vista version from a USB backup disk that is always powered off, then rebuild as necessary, but I want the security firm to see if it is a trojan in fact first and to see if it can upgrade the security device and provide a roll out of the trojan's work. Right now I am still scripting the documentary and this second quarter is getting this Premiere Pro up ready for third quarter production so I can be philosophical for now, but yes later I will get more disciplined. But at least now I (almost) know the security device is not the all singing wonder they said it was. Oh well. I use a second machine too, a PS3 with Linux, that is what I am using now, this one doesn't seem to get hacked even though it is my sacrificial machine.

Adobe deserves criticism for its shoddy QC, but not for maing you exposing your main machine at risk on the internet. I never do that, and I never have had a virus or malware on it--never in all the years I've been doing this. I have picked up a few on my internet machine, though, but they are easily fixed with the security scheme I use.
As for restore points possibly eating up disk space, which you alluded to earlieranother never for me. Restore points are a half assed measure at best. My security system is a full clone backup of my C drive starting the day I install and OS on it, and every time I add add a program, and every day when I am working a big complex project. Otherwise, once a week. It takes a few minutes only. That way I can restore everything in equally few minutes should anything bad happen, like poorly designed software affecting other software, a virus, malware, etc, and including drive failurewhich has happened twice over the years.
Don't get me wrong, a virus checker is very useful to a point, but real security design has to start long before you install one, especially if your machine is the heart of your business, as it is for me. What is that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth..........

4870 and Vista...games are mostly defaulted to windowed mode???

Hi all!
I'm using the latest catalyst 8.1 driver and Vista Home Premium SP1. Using Samsung 22" (1680x1050)
i reinstalled Company of Heroes with latest patch and just installed Farcry 2.
When i fired up COH, it usually defaulted to windowed mode. So i have to like change it manually most of the time to full screen mode. i thought it's just COH until i install Farcry 2. FYI, i ran this 2 games in DX10.
Farcry 2 doesn't have the option to switch to full screen mode, thus it always started in windowed mode. The window is like "shifted" down ward. you can see the window bar on top but you can't see the side and bottom bars. So the game is inside the downward shifted window. When i ran the Farcry 2 benchmark tool, it says i'm running in window mode. Everytime i switched it to full screen, and start the game, it went back to the same window mode.
can anyone offer me any advice?
thx

Unibody MacBook Pro 17, SSD and Vista x64 - Does it work?

I see many discussions about problems with various brands of SSD drives and Vista x64 under Boot Camp.
Can any of you confirm that Vista x64 will install on a unibody MacBook Pro 17" with the Apple-provided 250g SSD option?

It works well. Don't forget to turn the disk defrag off after installing and booting into Vista.

HT1351 I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I saved my iTunes on external hard drive and reinstalled them. My iTunes no longer recognizes my device - a 5th gen. iPod. I can's synch

I upgraded my Dell computer from Vista to Windows 7. I saved my iTunes library on an external hard drive. I somehow managed to erase them from my iPod. Now my songs won't play on the Dell and my iPod is not "recognized" as a device by my computer. I have "reset" the iPod by toggling the lock and holding down the menu and center button at once, but still no luck. How can I get my songs from my Dell back to my iPod?

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

I want to get windows vista on the macbook pro with retina display but my first question is this that how do i install it without using a DVD OR CD disk drive, and my second question while installing windows vista do i have to tick mark the install win 7

hello i have a few problems and i hope somebody has a solution my first problem is that how can i install windows vista without using a disk drive and my second problem is that should i tick mark the option which says Install windows 7 while using boot camp please reply, Thanks,

When running Windows in a virtual environment Windows and OSx share your computer's resources such as RAM. Therefore your games can not use all your computer's resources when running.
If you install Windows natively then Windows and your games can and do use all your computer's resource such as RAM.
But as already said, older operating systems are not supported and will not run natively using Boot Camp Assistant. You must use Windows 7 if installing natively in Lion or Moubtain Lion.

Dual booting Windows 7 and Vista on dv9620 on dual hard drives

Hi this might look like a repeat question but i haven't seen it answered by anyone that has tried it.
I downloaded the release candidate of Windows 7 and i want to dual boot it on my notebook.
The drives I have available are Disc0 which holds C: (the drive running Vista) and E: the HP_Recovery partition.
Then I have Disc1 which holds D: the Data drive and nothing else.
I want to run Windows 7 on the D: drive So can anyone who has done this tell me how they did it? Most of the dual booting how to's I've seen are for for booting on seperate partitions a single hard drive and because i'm something of a novice to this I would like some advice with more reference to my situation.

Hello and welcome,
You can probably finagle the partitions to allow for dual boot: copy the contents of D: to C: and delete D:, for instance. Speculating, since I don't have an IdeaPad to test on. You usually/probably/maybe lose the OneKey Recovery feature if you touch the partitions.
Others here on the Linux board may have been able to preserve OKR, but I'll leave that to them to describe since I haven't done it.
Long way of leading up to the question: is it sufficient to run Linux in a virtual machine, or as a WUBI install within windows? That keeps things simple and makes backups much easier as well.
Whatever you do, burn your recovery media first. Now.

Vista to XP Driver and Software install N200 0687

Here's a guide I wrote up while I installed XP onto my laptop, it's been used by a few of my friends. It's specifically for the N200 0687 A31 but as a general guide it's best to install drivers and software in chronological order based on the date of the files on the lenovo site.
XP doesn't recognize the hard drive under AHCI so first enter the bios by
pressing F1 at boot and enter the Bios so you can change the SATA
Controller Mode from "AHCI" to "Compatibility". While your there make sure
in the boot order the CDrom is first. Put XP disk in drive and reboot.
Delete the Vista install.(If you want to delete the hidden partition and you're smart you've generated recovery disks in case Vista service packs make it worth reinstalling)
Install XP and Service Pack 2
Read the text file associated with each driver to know how to deal with each extracted
package, and note the directory the files are extracted to. Cancel any "Hardware
Update Wizard" windows that pop up.
Install in the following order:
65vg09ww.exe        Display (Intel X3100) driver - that looks better.
65sa02ww.exe        AHCI driver - find the three .inf files and right click
                                and select install. Probably not all are necessary.
                                Never mind. During any of the many ensuing reboots
                                you can enter the Bios and change
                                "Compatibility" back to "AHCI", and the first boot
                                device back to the hard drive. Towards the end of
                                 this driver installation list ever boot will result in
                                only one “Hardware Update Wizard” opening. Instead
                                of canceling it manually direct the Wizard to select
                                the best driver from the "AHCI" folder where it will
                                select and install the "Intel(R) 82801HEM/IBM SATA
                                AHCI Controller"
65ch04ww.exe        Intel chipset support 6 - Worth doing early if your installing

> and why can i make the picture light
I dont know what you mean by picture light!!!
If you want to use all Fn keys you will need different tools and utilities.
For example the FN+F3/F4 will not work if the power saver was not installed.
Also the FN+F5 will not work if display device change utility will be not installed.
As you can see, several applications are needed if you want to use the FN keys!!!
But as the above user has suggested already, the XP drivers are not available.
Maybe you can use some appellations designed fro another notebook series but this is only a tiny hope.
