Location switching does not work on Vista

Hi, my location switching does not work. I have reinstalled my Access Connection several time but still does not work. I have several profiles and I need to switch manually depending on my location profile. My Access Connetion however seem to know the right profile (dot next to the profile indicate it picked up the right wireless signal) but never connect to the profile
Is there any Vista feature that is controlling the access as well? Do I need to disable? I remember the older version of Access Connection will ask to disaable some windows services when using Access connection.
My Config is
- R61
- Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG. File Version 11.1.1.16
- OS Vista 32 Business - with up to date patches
- Access Connection 4.42 for Vista Build 7RCN38WW
Thank you in advance for pointers

4gb creative zen v plus does not work in vist

hello
i just got one of these..and the cd provided does not work in vista..i read on the site that this model has nati've vista support then why doesnt it work for me?
any help appreciated

Hi,
What do you mean by the cd does not work in vista?
Can you tell us what happens when you try to install using the installation cd, error messages, etc?
Try plug in your Zen V Plus to your computer, does it get detected?

WRT610N disconnects and does not work with Vista or media center extenders like the DMA2200

Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertise the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I’m beginning to have my doubts. It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with. However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terrible. At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebook barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router. In comparison, while using my 2.4Ghz WRT54g router, I get 5 full bars at that range, and at least 2 bars from anywhere else in my house.
I have all Linksys equipment in my house as I have been impressed with all of their 2.4Ghz in the past. However, I’ve recently upgraded everything to dual-band N equipment and found numerous flaws in each of the new devices, plus none of them really even play well together. My setup is: Linksys 610n router, DMA2200 media center extender, and a WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter for my laptop – all of which are currently using the most up-to-date firmware. Other devices include a WRE54G extender and Nintendo Wii.
Problem #1) The LELA software with the new N devices doesn't even recognize that my DMA2200 is a media center extender. Using LELA, I should be able to select my media extender and allocate more bandwidth for streaming media. However, since my extender only shows up as an “unknown network device” those options are greyed out. I tried to manually change the device to a media center, but still no go. I suppose you can manually allocate bandwidth in the router setup somewhere, but considering these are all Linksys products, it’s absolutely ridiculous that an option specifically incorporated in the LELA software for a Linksys Media Extender does not work!!!
Problem #2) If you are only using one system with the router, the router might actually work as intended. For most of us though there are going to be at least 2 or more systems connected to the router (wired, wireless, or a combination of the two) such as a PS3, Wii, laptop, PC, media extender, Xbox, etc. If that’s the case, you’re probably screwed because you WILL experience frequent dropouts… ESPECIALLY if just one those clients is a VISTA machine. Check the Linksys forums and you will find that this seems to be a problem with all of the new Linksys routers (610N, 310N, and 110).
Here is a Microsoft article that explains the issue
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us
Problem #3) Because of problem #2 I will never be able to get rid of the dropouts since my network is using one of Linksys’s media center extenders. The DMA2200 is essentially a VISTA PC to some extent and accepts DHCP requests the same as a VISTA PC. Since it is not really a PC though, there is no registry modification that can be done to alleviate the VISTA problem (not that the registry mod really works anyways). So as long as I try to use my DMA2200 wirelessly with my WRT610N router, the frequent dropouts will occur and there’s nothing I can do about it. This is REALLY TERRIBLE since the DMA2200 is specifically designed to be used with the WRT610N router in order to take advantage of the 5Ghz band and wireless N transfer rates. You absolutely need 5Ghz wireless N to efficiently stream HDTV WIRELESSLY, but if you lose your connection every 10 minutes, it is impossible to watch any type of streaming media.
Problem #4) As mentioned already, when the “N” 5Ghz range is working on the WRT510N router, the distance sucks compared to standard 2.4Ghz G, N or mixed mode networks. You can try to make it better by strictly using N products, disabling the 2.4ghz band all-to-gether, and using the wider 40mhz frequency, but it doesn’t really help. The higher 5Ghz band is a more concentrated signal and therefore simply does not reach as far as the lower 2.4ghz band. I wonder why all of these new products state that the 5Ghz range will increase your distance, when in fact it actually makes it worse?
So… basically, this router does nothing that it claims too and is basically rendered useless on any network with a VISTA machine. This has not been addressed by any Linksys firmware updates or VISTA software updates so there is no reason to even consider using this router if you you’re using VISTA or some type of VISTA Media Center Extender such as the Linksys DMA2200.
Although, I’ve always sworn by Linksys in the past, the amount of wasted time, frustration, and horrible support has really changed my view about them. I’ve reverted back to my old trustworthy WRT54g router and had to run cable through my house so that I wouldn’t have to box my DMA2200 extender up and let it collect dust in the attic. It’s really disappointing that I spent all this money to buy this equipment specifically because they’re supposed to work together, but in fact they don’t. Plus what’s the point of having top notch wireless equipment if you have to run cables in order for them to work?

I have fixed all the IP adresses to avoid the DHCP problem but I still have problems.
I have sereval scenarioes:
1. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
I can see HDTV on this one but it disconnects
2. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV and disconnections
3. MC < 2.4b/g WIFI > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV but no disconnections - but very slow and streaming like youtube
4. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
No HDTV but nice picture - testing for disconnections right now - 30+ min.
Result:
This test was very good. Stabil streaming, no disconnects for an hour. Won't support HDTV but the rest seem to work fine.
5. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
Not tested yet - looking forward to this - might bring me HDTV.
Result:
This gives HDTV but there is a problem with stability on the streaming but very difficult to see on the picture. Testing for disconnects - now tested for 30 min. - no disconnects.
This looks really promissing.
I am pretty sure that the WRT610N have a problem in the switching part of the router specially when it has to switch from 1G to WIFI. I bought the WRT610N to get HDTV on WIFI and Cisco markets the DMA and WRT610N as a perfect match. But it definately have problems - i still do not understand their silence about this.
I will come back with the last results when I have them

RAID Utility does not work after Vista upgrade

Hi,
I have a Qosmio G30 with 2 HD 120GB each. After I upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP, the Toshiba RAID Utility does not work anymore. In WXp it worked OK, but in Vista there is no way I can mirror the HD. That is, the utility itself work, but the button that should say Mirror, or something like that is not shown. I have set the drives to RAID-1 in the BIOS, but no go.
Is there any way to get the software RAID to work again?

Hi,
just a little question: While installing vista, did you installed the RAID-driver at installation time? Maybe this could be the reason why RAID cannot be activated properly.
Please give some feedback, if you installed the RAID drivers for Vista during the installation..
Cheers

Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it. I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud). I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
Now my problem:
I tried to remove another free app. I press and hold the icon. All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons. Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button. And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either. If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display). Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally. Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
So what do I need to do to fix this?
Thanx
Brian

Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.

Keyboard layout switching does not work if I connect a second keyboard

When I connect an external keyboard (a very ordinary Dell keyboard, no extra keys or something unusual) to my laptop, XFCE keyboard layout switcher disappears from a the and keyboard shortkut meant to switch also does not work. Rebooting with the keyboard initially attached does not help. Any ideas how to fix?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

E7 lock key switch does not work

Lock key stopped working during some update today. I installed the phone from scratch and installed anna over previous os.
At sometime on the proces lock key stopped working. It does not work neither as led torch switch.
I have found no place to change this key behaviour.

Hey Mann,
In order to reslove your issue I would suggest performing a soft reset (*#7780# soft reset(security code needed; 12345 by default) and then re-install anna again, should this not work you should consider taking your device to your local Nokia Care Point
Thanks,

Internet Security Suite does not work with Vista 64 bit

After attempting to use the Chat Help, twice, and spending hours in queue before getting kicked off, I finally called Support to find out why my new Vista computer was not running the Internet Security Suite that I downloaded. Yes, I found the link to "download to a second computer" and went thru all the steps. Got lots of positive feedback: little bars were filling in letting me know I was 40%, 72%, 100% done, etc.. Was given a window allowing me to Run or Don't Run the software. It all seemed to go very well. However, when the "download and installation" was complete, there was no new software running anywhere on my computer. Couldn't find it in the Control Panel, the Start menu, or the system tray. Called Support and spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with a "technician" (and I use that term VERY loosely) who had to have major assistance from a co-worker before he could even start screen-sharing with me and, during the course of our time together, made the following brilliant remarks:
Upon seeing my desktop wallpaper (which is a lovely photo of some cliffs and a lake - and it came with Vista), he wanted to know what the picture was. Not where it was taken, but just what it was. His exact comment was "Does your screen always look like that?". I had to dig deeper to determine if he was asking about a particular icon or some other computer related concern that he saw (he was "technical support", after all), but he was just asking about the stupid photo.
He couldn't find the Control Panel in the Start Menu until after trying several times, and then he couldn't navigate to the Programs area very well (I had to give verbal hints as to where it was), and his brilliant comment then was "I really need to go to my mom's house and get on her new laptop and try out Vista." Can you believe that Verizon has technical support folks who have never used Vista? It's not like Vista just came on the market yesterday!!
So, when he finally decided that he was not going to be able to help me, he didn't offer me any other recourse. He just stated over and over that he was not sure how to solve this issue. Oh, and this was after I re-downloaded ISS (again, "successfully"). I had to ask if there was someone else there who could possibly help me. He offered to put me on hold (for the 2nd or 3rd time at this point) to check around. When he returned to the phone, it was obvious that someone else was operating the mouse in the screen sharing mode because the operator moved confidentially around the screen and went immediately to system properties and saw that I am running Windows 64 bit. The other operator then told my guy to tell me that ISS only works with Windows 32 bit. Their final resolution was that I should call billing on Monday and end my subscription. I think that may be the only good advice I was given that day.
So, am probably going to renew my trial version of Norton on this new computer and remove ISS from the laptop and put Norton on there as well. Apparently, they are up to date with this fancy new technology. At least they probably know about sophisticated and highly technical stuff like desktop wallpaper.

I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work. Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program. I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it. Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS. Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out. My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is. If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer. I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection. It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

Try expose svn via http, but Location directive does not work.

Hello everyone,
I used svn exposed via http in OSX 10.6 and 10.7 using collabnet.
Now I take OSX server 10.8 and installed svn inside XCode.
SVN is correctly installed, apache respond to default site.
I copied the modules dav_svn_module and authz_svn_module compiled on my machine with same svn version of XCode [version 1.6.18 (r1303927)] .
I created a file into /etc/apache2/other called svn.conf that contain follow code:
LoadModule dav_svn_module libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so
<Location /repo>
DAV svn
SVNPath '/Volumes/VMware HD/svn/repository'
</Location>
Checking if module are loaded with sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES i obtain:
Loaded Modules:
dav_svn_module (shared)
authz_svn_module (shared)
Syntax OK
So file svn.conf is loaded and the module too.
When I try to check via browser with http://localhost/repo I obtain in /var/log/apache2/error_log the following error:
[Wed Feb 13 12:41:12 2013] [error] [client 192.168.1.114] File does not exist: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/repo
Is Location directive failing?!
How can I expose the right repository location instead of default site?

Oeren,
I stumbled across this little tidbit buried in the BI Publisher forum: Dynamic Images in rtf
Glad you are up and running!

Fn Key does not work in Vista on a Satellite A100-192

After Vista Installation Fn Key don't work.
HotKey Utility and other tools are installed (in recommended order), but when Vista start appears Error message: "Start HotKey Utility failed".
All other device is working.

Hello Kat
I have the same notebook. It is Satellite A100-504 delivered with WXP. It is different number (504) but the same hardware configuration and number PSAA9E. I have preinstalled Vista last week successfully and everything works fine.
Do you use Toshiba Vista upgrade installations DVD or you have own Vista DVD?
Anyway, I have installed clean Vista OS (using Microsoft installations CD). After doing this I have visited Toshiba download page and at first downloaded document called Installations Instructions.
Please do the same and install all listed stuff in the listed order. That is very important. After doing this Vista should run well and also all Toshiba designed tools and utilities.
BTW: power saver utility is not like before under WXP. Now notebook uses Vista power settings.

Keyboard layout switching does not work properly when set to switch per document

Hello,
I have two input languages (U.S. / Bulgarian - Phonetic) and I am having problems when using the "Automatically switch to a document's input source" option (available in the Input Sources prefs pane).
The problem is that when I switch applications (using CMD + Tab) the input is not changed to the correct one, until an input field in the new application is selected. If I don't manually select an input field, the language will remain whatever it was with the previous application I used. As a consequence, none of my shortcuts work, as they are defined in the U.S language, and not in Bulgarian.

Hi,
does this problem appear immediately after buying the machine? Maybe its a good idea to recover the machine, perhaps it could be a software issue.
On the other side it sounds a little bit like a hardware related problem so if the recovery doesnt brought you joy then you should contact a local service partner for help.

Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work. How can I remove it?

Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected. Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have a Network Location I can't get rid of. How do I remove it ?

Hello my ginger,
I tried what you suggested - but to no success. The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings. If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through. To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot. This appeared to be okay. When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held. When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address.
The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same. And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups. I don't have a clue what this refers to. Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in. With no success.
I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up. I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard. I have version 10.6.3. Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ? Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

File.mkdir() does not work on Vista !

Hello every one...
When I try to create a folder in the Program Files directory, It works fine on XP, but it fails on Vista due to its restrictions on such directories. Is there any way to bypass this problem?

Applications must not assume that their installation directory is writable by anyone who can run them.
I decided to create the folder directly under c:\The correct place would somewhere in the users directory indicated by the System property "user.home".

Tecra M4: TV s-video out does not work with Vista

I have windows vista ultimate on Tecra m4.
I tried to get tv out through s-video but nothing happened.
I tried fn+f5 but it shows only Lcd choice with no other choices.
While it works good with windows xp tablet edition I installed the newest driver offered by toshiba but nothing happened.
The same problem is still here; no tv out.
Can any one help me

Hi
As far as I know the Vista drivers are not available for the Tecra M4 at this time.
I have checked the Vista driver download site and the M4 is not listed.
I think you have to wait for compatible drivers
If you install the graphic driver, you should check the Nvidia display settings. There you could choose between the TV, analogue display and digital flat display.
There choose TV and configure it via device settings
