Using Safely Eject Hardware in Windows Vista Doesn't Disconnect iPod

When I use the Safely Eject Hardware Option to eject my iPod in Vista, my iPod still says "Do Not Disconnect", whilst in Windows XP it will allow me to use the iPod afterwards.
I know vista is got some compatability issues but does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.

I thought I was alone with this problem. I recently went traveling last weekend, and began to think the X-Ray machines killed my iPod!
Whenever I connect my iPod to any computer using the USB connection, Windows will not mount it as a removable drive. The cable is good, because the iPod is being charged but Windows will not recognize it.
I have tried all the different USB ports, even on several different computers. Including my work, laptop, and my desktop. Windows will not recognize my iPod using the USB connection.
I'm in the process of restoring my desktop computer after a hard-drive failure (lucky me all my vital data were on a separate drive), so my desktop has a nice clean install of Windows.
My desktop has a firewire port, so I tried connecting to that port and Ta-Da, Windows recognized and mounted my iPod as a removable drive! Unfortunately my laptop nor my work computers do not have firewire ports.
Can anyone explain why the USB function suddenly stopped working? Does this mean I need to restore and loose all my music from my iPod? I do not let iTunes manage my music, I do that all myself. I can put my music back onto the device but it will be time consuming. If anyone knows the answer to this USB problem, perhaps you can reply to this thread or contact me.
Thanks,
Joe Vill

Deploy Visual Basic 6.0 RDC application using Crystal Reports 9 on Windows Vista

Post Author: albe
CA Forum: General
When attempting to deploy a Visual Basic 6.0 Report Designer Component (RDC) application using Crystal Reports 9 on Windows Vista systems, the application fails after the first print or preview (that show normally) and an error occurred: -2147417848 Method '' of object '' failed.
The app use the RDC and Active Data; I verify that the problem is encountered when the app calls the 'SetDataSource' method.
I tried everything that came in my mind: reinstalling it a few times, with administrator priviledges, disabling uac, manually registering dlls, ...
I hope that this will be fixed, since Crystal Report 9 is the last CR version compatible with windows 98.
thanks in advance,
Alberto

HT1178 Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive

Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive. If so what software do I need to buy?

Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive.
Yes, on XP, Vista and 7. Have not tried 8.
If so what software do I need to buy?
Genie Timeline Pro does a very nice job...and it is similar to Apple's Time Machine. It's not cheap though. Check with the Genie folks for more info and compatibility with Windows 8.

Flash Vulnerability used to break security on Windows Vista

Found an article on The Register about a previously unknown
flash vulnerability being used to break security on Windows Vista
during a hacking contest. The original link to the article was on
Wired's
Blog
quote:
"Shane Macaulay, who played a hand bringing down a Mac during
last year's Pwn2Own contest, defeated the Vista machine using a
previously unknown vulnerability in Adobe Flash. On final day of
the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, Macaulay spent the better
part of four hours trying to get the exploit to work."
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/29/ubuntu_left_standing/
Can anyone verify the exploit that is being referred to in
this article or whether Adobe is aware of it?

Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
Thanks,

Windows Vista doesn't recognize Mac Pro RAM

I have installed Windows Vista Business on my Mac Pro using Boot Camp, and have found some anomalies that seem strange. It is basically working well (for Windows....).
1. I installed this on a 500Gb HD on my Mac Pro. This machine is a fully configured box doing video editing, with extensive AV files. It has all four drive bays filled, 3 of them with 1Tb drives, the thrid with a single 500Gb drive. I was a bit surprised to find that Boot Camp won't allow partitioning of its OSX installed boot HD beyond a Mac Partition and the Boot Camp paritition, or a secondary entire HD dedicated to Windows. This is not very practical with these large drives, since even though HD storage is fairly cheap, I don't want to give Microsoft more than maybe 100gb on a drive. All of the other HDs are partitioned for multiple parititions, which I need to preserve. The OSX boot drive has 3 OSX partitions already installed. Any ideas on how to do this better? Yes, I know I can use Parallels or VMWare, and do, but find that native Boot Camp Windows is better.
2. Windows Vista is running on a dedicated HD in Boot Camp on this machine (to all appearances running fine), but doesn't recognize more than 2Gb of RAM on my machine which is configured with 10Gb of RAM which is recognized appropriately in OSX. What am I missing?
I would appreciate any help on a partitioning scheme that works to support multiple partitions on these large drives, and a reason that only 2Gb out of 10Gb of RAM is recognized by Windows Vista Business in Boot Camp.
Thanks!!!

Thanks for your response.
I am running in Boot Camp, which runs in native mode without emulation. The advantage is that if you are going to run Windows, which is my goal, it doesn't have the overhead of OSX. Indeed, most Mac machines are among the fastest Windows machines available for equivalent hardware when running Windows in native mode. There are a few more arcane advantages to running natively, particularly in terms of connecting to external devices. There is no background RAM overhead when run natively.
Thanks....

Ethernet Controller & Safely Remove Hardware With Windows 7 On X200

Hi,
I'm having a weird issue with Windows 7 on my X200. For some reason, my ethernet controller is being displayed in my system tray under "Safely Remove Hardware". Is anyone else having this problem? If you are not having this problem, would you mind checking what driver you are using so that I can try it as well?
I have the "Intel 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter III" and I'm using the driver that was installed automatically from Windows 7 I presume. Its seems like the only option though...
Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using Parallels and a Dell Windows Vista CD

I was hoping I could use a Windows Vista CD I have from Dell in conjunction with Parallels but I keep getting a message informing me that the product key is incorrect.
I've checked 100 times and I know it IS correct. But is this an issue concerning the Dell OEM disc and the fact it might not work with Parallels?
Thanks

There are two kinds of OEM Windows discs - those from a major manufacturer like Dell and those that you can buy from stores like NewEgg. Generally the OEM discs from major manufacturers are specifically tied to a computer model, the same as Apple's restores discs. Chances are the disc installation is looking for a specific component and not finding it. This is consistent with Microsoft's dubious claim that the operating system license is tied to a specific motherboard and when the motherboard is replaced you must purchase a new license.

Hotsyncing a palm centro using a bluetooth adapter and windows vista 64 bit

Please help. I have read and followed all of the other suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked.
I have a palm treo. When I try to hotsync using the bluetooth adapter, it gives me a message stating:
"unable to connect,port is being used by another application".
I have rebooted, soft reset, etc. and still get the same message.
I do not know how to set up another port on the windows vista program. That was one suggestion.
I have selected both bluetooth and serial port under the hot sync manager.
Nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

Safari on Windows Vista doesn't function very well

I recently installed Safari web browser on my Windows Vista OS. I tried it a few minutes and soon it didn't function anymore. When I use any of the buttons in Safari, the programme gets stuck and Vista reports an error and closes Safari automatically. I can only use it to browse websites; that's it. I cannot add bookmarks or anything else. Oh yes, I can change some settings too. I reinstalled it several times and rebooted my system. None of these has helped this problem away. Does anyone has some suggestions?
(ps I know my English isn't that good at all. I live in Belgium you see...)

I was able to install, but in my corporate environment where we use Microsoft ISA server as a Proxy I get prompted for my credentials and then the browser crashes hard.

Using Safely Remove Hardware

I finished charging my ipod and usually I press eject ipod but this time I just clicked on safely remove hardware after it was done charging. It said it was safe, so I removed the usb cable and the screen went white. I had to reset it to turn it back on. Was this just a fluke or what? I'm just checking to make sure.

If it happens very often, restore the ipod.

Hi
As far as I know the Tecra M5 was delivered either with the Intel or nVidia graphic card.
On the notebooks with nVidia graphic card you can set different option in the nVidia Desktop manager; for example Enable multiple desktops
You should find it in control panel.
Unfortunately, I dont know exactly where the settings are placed in the nVidia manager because this notebook was delivered only with WinXP but Im sure you will find it.
bye
