T61 Windows Vista Ultimate and MS Office 2007

I have installed the above and MS Office is closing often with error message suggesting to use diagnosis. How to fix this problem.

I would use the repair feature in the "Add or Remove Programs" utility in the control panel.
I would also make sure that you upgrade your version to MS Office 2007, with service pack 1, as this critical update resolves many of these issues.

Windows Vista Ultimate and Error -42018

Hi there,
I upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate about a month ago. I was trying to play music and download new content and the new content downloads would stop with -42018 - unexpected error.
I had to run the compatability wizard and allow Windows XP SP2 settings with administrator access to correct the issue.
I also lost most of my licensing when I upgraded. Hold off for I-Tunes to work with Vista if you are thinking about upgrading.
And on a side note, I think that the new Windows Media "Experience" in Vista is not all that great.

Windows Vista Ultimate and Oh Crap!

Hello All,
This post is a bit of a question and a bit of advice. I am a System's Analyst / Network Engineer. I have a lot of experience with computers, Windows, and Mac OS. Eight days ago I started working with a client on a brand new PC with ALL the bells and whistles. The PC is an HP Pavilion running Windows Vista Ultimate, RAID 1 (Mirror), Removable Media Drive, Great Sound via X-Fi, Great Video via Nvidia PCI-X, and SATA (Obviously since it's running a RAID array).
I got everything setup and running great and as the last step installed iTunes and Quicktime. My client has a few thousand songs, a ton of TV shows, and a whole mess of movies ALL purchased thru iTunes store. Nothing is pirated, stolen, or illegal on this computer. Now, here's where it gets good.
I did the import in a few stages to make the data transfer a little faster. I did music, then TV, then movies. I tested a song and it worked great. I went to play a TV show and the computer slowed to a halt. I let it go like this until activity started on the machine again. It took about 5 minutes and then iTunes crashed. A second later the computer blue-screened and rebooted.
As soon as the reboot occured the RAID array came up in a failed state. I had to rebuild the array and get back into Windows. I tried again with the TV show, had the same result, tried again with a movie, and again had the same result. I called HP and they told me to fresh install the OS so I did. Again, same result.
This has been going on now for a few days with several different tests and several array rebuilds and OS installs. I would have had HP replace the computer or the motherboard but NOTHING else on the entire PC was causing this problem and diagnostics showed no hardware issues. There is/was no reason to suspect faulty hardware or software other than iTunes and/or Quicktime.
Today I ran the final tests and a fresh rebuild. I found some documentation stating that iTunes had some compatibility issues with Vista and decided to try some other videos that I could run in Media Center. They worked flawlessly. I'm left thinking that these problems are specifically iTunes / Quicktime and will move forward accordingly. Apple has stated that they are working with Microsoft to develop a new version of iTunes that is fully compatible with Vista and I have chosen to wait until that version comes out before installing it again.
My question is if any of you have experienced issues like this? If you have, do you have any advice or things you did to make it work? Please comment here as I will be watching this post to see your responses.
My advice is to be very cautious when installing iTunes in Vista, especially with this sort of configuration. I've seen iTunes work fine in Vista before but this is the first time I've worked with a configuration like this. Please be aware of the potential problems. As I've stated earlier, everything else is working perfectly.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. Have a great day!
HP PavilionCTO D4790Y Other OS Windows Vista Ultimate, 4 gigs of RAM, 256 Meg GeForce 7500LE PCI-X, RAID 1 SATA with 250 gigs

Thank you for the great responses, guys! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get.
Rain-Man, your post is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. This computer is also running WD drives. I had a feeling that WD might have been some of the issue but it only happened on the SATA RAID config. The computer I set up right behind this PC (on another desk) is EXACTLY the same but does not have a RAID 1 setup and runs perfectly with iTunes.
Also, there is a Hauppauge TV tuner running in this PC and, in retrospect, I think may be conflicting with codecs. God forbid you would have multiple codecs installed on one PC....
I'm not going to sit here and bash WD or Hauppauge, but I'm not a big fan of either of these devices. One of the other things that bothers me is that the RAID is controlled by "Intel Matrix" which is the default software RAID controller in this HP product. There isn't any real control in the management console. All you can do is rebuild a failed array or view an existing configuration. That doesn't really say, "AWESOME" to me. Being an HP product I'm assuming this is pretty standard because it was the default software controller installed on this system.
Any way you look at it, I really appreciate the posts here. I agree that there is an issue that Apple needs to address. WD or not, the fact that people are having problems getting iTunes to work in Vista needs to be resolved. We pay for our music and our shows and our movies and deserve to have them working and not getting deleted, corrupted, or damaged when we try to play them or transfer them. I love the fact that Apple is incorporating new technology into their products but we pay for that technology and it should work.
If I hadn't backed up my client's iTunes folder I would have lost everything he paid for. He's a pretty cool guy but how would you feel if you lost a couple grand worth of music, TV, and movies? I would be pretty upset.
In the end, I think RAID or drive configuration on this PC is one of the major issues. It's something to do with the SATA controller and Vista combined with iTunes / Quicktime. I'm not exactly sure how that could be but I believe it's something Apple / Microsoft needs to investigate...
Please keep the posts coming as I will be checking here regularily for updates. Thanks for your input and I hope we're able to resolve this issue soon.

Help me decide between Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows XP Pro

I have an iMac 24", 2.8GHz w/4GBRAM.
I really only plan on playing some of the latest games on my Windows partition, but I also want to get the very best performance out of some of the games.
If DX10 means a loss of performance, than maybe I should stick with Windows XP?
The games I mostly play are:
Flight Sim X
Bioshock
COD4: Modern Warfare
a Few racing sims
NeverWinter Nights 2
Civ IV
Farcry and Crysis
Based on those games... which Windows OS would perform best on my iMac?!

Hi,
up to now I have avoided Vista mainly because another 130 Euros is not in my budget right now.
And since both my Macs don't have DX10 capable graphics cards I have no need for it.
Vista does have other improvements than DX10 inside, but DX10 is sure to be the standard for future games, so why go with a Windows that doesn't support it and most likely never will.
Games running under DX10 are indeed more demanding than under DX9 so it is also most likely that you will have a at least slightly lesser performance.
A real test for any system is Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3 at the moment and we will see more in the future.
So if I have to choose right now I would go for Vista.
Regards
Stefan

Hot Synch with Windows XP and MS Office 2007

I can not synchronize my Palm Treo 680 Unlocked with Windows XP Home and MS Office 2007.
I see several comments regarding Outlook 2007. Is resolving the synchronization of Outlook 2007 the same solution as Office 2007?
If so what is the solution?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

I also cannot synch my Palm Treo 680 unlocked with Outlook 07 using Vista. It says "Hot Synch Operation Completed Successfully", but nothing did synch. I downloaded palmoutlook07conduits.zip and there was no change. I was synching wirelessly using Microsoft Exchange Active Synch without problems, but when I cancelled my 'data' package on my cell phone, it no longer was synching. I tried reloading my original Palm CD, but it doesn't allow me to select 'Outlook' as my connectivity. Please help. And please don't provide me with a bunch of acronyms as I won't understand them!!!!
Thanks,

Hey rrijeka,
Unfortunately, Vista is currently not compatible with iTunes.
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042 will tell you more about the iTunes and windows Vista compatability. The article will also be updated when itunes and Vista are compatible.

Windows Vista ULT and Quicktime problem

I apologize if this has been posted already, I did a search and found nothing so here goes...
I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and wanted to get iTunes and Quicktime running as soon as I could. I installed the latest version found on apple's website but every time I try to start Quicktime up, it does absolutely nothing at all. I try to click on a quicktime file and it does nothing as well. Even stranger, I try to uninstall quicktime and it hangs for a sec and then pretends I never asked it to do anything.
iTunes crashes every time I try to run it but it WILL uninstall.
Anyone know a fix to any of this?
Mahalos plenty!

Right, I read that article and did what they asked, but it didn't work and doesn't address the problem I have now.
According to the info Apple provided on that article, it implies that iTunes and Quicktime will work with Vista. I can wait for an update if thats the case, I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

I am using XL Reporter with my Windows XP Professional Edition and Microsoft Office 2003 and/or 2007, and it works perfectly, but when i try to connect my laptop, loaded with Windows Vista Basic edition and Microsoft Office 2007, it does not support.
When i try to add IXXLReporter.dll in Excel 07, it does not work, it neither shows me any error or any confirmation message. When i try to run XL Reporter from SAP, it starts process and hangs.
Can anybody tell me perfectly that whether SAP B1 is compatible with Vista Home Edition or not ...???
If it works, what changes i have to make in my SAP or Vista or Excel, please inform me soon. . .

Upgrading my T61 to Windows Vista Ultimate

Hey all,
I have a T61, [email protected], 3GB RAM, 120GB HD with Windows Vista Home Basic.
I recently got a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (from my University) and I was wondering if I could install it...
Basically, I want to know that:
1) If I install Windows Vista Ultimate off another DVD, will it wipe out my ThinkVantage integration? i.e. being able to use the ThinkVantage button during boot-up and so on.
2) I know I can download the ThinkVantage Vista software again from the Lenovo website, but would I lose the ability to factory restore my HD from boot-up if I install Vista Ultimate from my new DVD?
3) Is Vista Ultimate even worth spending the time and energy on for upgrading?
Thanks!

Mostly. You can restore some of it by downloading ThinkVantage software and the appropriate device drivers etc from the Lenovo support web sit for your ThinkPad model.

Yes, you will lose it. There are ways around that, but they require some 3rd party software.
You can always do a factory restore, if needed, from the DVD set you should have created on recieving a ThinkPad.
wildrebel wrote:

I have installed it on all my Vista capable ThinkPads, in x86 or x64 version depending on the ThinkPad platfrom capabilities, and find it well worthwhile.

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Wo

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message. The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress. On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode. Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it. On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
“The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
“Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
“Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
How can I correct this problem?
PS
Worse still, the HP Advisor icon that appears on startup does not load successfully while showing the message: “Access to the path Hewlett-Packard\HD Advisor is denied”.
What can I do about it?

This should get your itunes store connection working.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Window Vista Ultimate Updates - Error 80071A91 and 490

I can't update Windows Vista because of these errors, and I can't find any info on how to fix them other than buying registry software. Will this help? Any ideas? I have a T61p w/ Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thank you!

Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks

paul's onto it.
if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:
