Vista login

Greetings,
Does anyone else have a problem with Vista users having to authenticate every time they login to UCM. When we originally set up all my clients were using XP. They were able to login without having to authenticate as we are using active directory. I have recently had two users switch from XP to Vista and now they are required to authenticate every time they attempt access UCM.
I have added the site to 'trusted sites' and 'intranet sites' in their IE security settings and still no luck.
I know this isn't alot to go on but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Malky,
I did try everything you suggested with the users computer and still nothing worked. Funny thing is that the users computer can access my virtual UCM instance but not the production instance. All IIS and folder permissions are identical between the two. Also...I have XP users who have no issue at all.
I've even had the supreme overlords of tech support at our organization take a look at it and they are shaking their heads.
I'm getting ready to dive into ASP.NET to see if I can find a solution there.

Setting Up Vista Login

Hi. I know that I can get Vista to login to OS X server. For the OS X clients I have, their home directories sync to the network, since they are setup as Mobile Accounts. Can I make the Vista home directory sync with the server just like OS X? I basically want PHDs for the Vista clients. Thanks!

If all you want is command-line access (no GUI), or command-line access plus X clients (xterm, etc.), then you need to enable Remote Login in System Preferences > Sharing > Services, and you need to know the IP-address of your machine. If you have a router at home, then you need to set up port forwarding on the router.
Once you've set these up, then you should be able to use an SSH client (ssh on OS X, UNIX, and Linux, PuTTY on Windows) to connect to an OS X command line shell on your home machine; and you can use sftp (from an OS X, UNIX, or Linux machine) to transfer files to and from your home machine.
There's no telnet server on OS X by default, and you probably don't really want one -- it's not a very secure protocol. ssh is much better.

ACD 23" - No Image Until Vista Login Screen

System: Windows Vista 32-bit Business Edition
Processor: 3.06 Ghz P4
Video Card: Raedon 9800 XT
Hopefully someone can give me some clarification on this. But when I boot up my PC none of my boot up screens are visable on my 23" ACD. I cannot view the prompts to access my bios or anything until my PC loads Windows Vista up to the Login Screen. Everything is fine after that. Is this because my BIOS runs at a non-supported resolution? Is there anyway to get this to work? Currently I have to hook up another monitor if I need to make any BIOS changes and its really annoying. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

When I was searching I didn't realize it was only looking at the last 90 days. Sorry for the post.

Vista login does not fade in, often black artifacts or half screen black

I've installed a legitimate copy of Windows Vista Business 32 bit on my new Macbook Pro 2.53 Ghz Late 2008 twice now, as well as installing all the bootcamp 2.1 drivers and getting to the latest windows update -
This still happens - the windows login screen (after the vista circular logo appears with the noise) is supposed to fade in as I've seen it do on my friends' identical macbook pro (but he installed vista 64 bit), but it never fades in for me - it either flashes black and then appears or sometimes the black will appear jagged and cover up half my screen for a second.
Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, know if it's a software/driver issue or a hardware issue? I want to get a new macbook pro if my graphics card or memory is messed up -
I'm not using fusion or parallels, just bootcamp.
Thanks,

Huh, it helped to restart the computer. :-) And I thought that Apple never needed to be restarted. :-)

T400 vista login screen too dark

On my t400 with Vista Business the login screen is so dark that it is hard to see anything. It can be made brighter by using the brightness control keys, but this is a nuisance if you have to do this first before you can logon. Is there any way to set this logon screen to a higher default brightness??

It's a power saving feature.
Check the Power Manager options under the Globat Settings tab and uncheck the option to dim the screen during startup/log-in.

Sync problems with Vista, Desk Top Vers 6.2 and Tungson C

My wife recently bought a new cell phone with Palm Centro that loaded vers 6.2. My palm TC running OS 4.5 will not sync. If I try overighting either way I get duplicates in Address catagories but my datebook, Docs to go, address, memo, ToDo, and expences do not sync. I have lots of new data added to both the desktop and Palm but they stay in their respective enviorments. Any Ideas? I have cleaned out my desktop on my old PC, Windows XP, Palm vers 4.1 and am now using that. Go figure!!! Isn't new tech and upgraded vers great?
Post relates to: Tungsten C

You can use the same version of Palm desktop that you are using for the C on the Vista PC and the Centro should sync to that version.
You will need to "clean" uninstall the 6.2 version on the Vista PC. Install the version of Palm Desktop you got with the C. Create a username in Palm desktop for each device. Connect each device and then sync.
Here are the "clean" uninstall instructions for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install

Windows Vista won't upload

Help. My HP G50 will start but the Windows Vista will not upload. I've pressed the F 10 and F 11 buttons. Memory is good. I've backed up my files using the F 11 back up function. I've tried to go back to an earlier date using system restore, no results. Can I reset the computer to factory defaults, there is function in the F 11 button, and then retrieve my files. Do I need a recovery disc?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Your subject is a tad strange. I believe you may mean that you can start your notebook, but the boot does not get as far as the Windows Vista login screen. Is that accurate?
From the description you have given, I suggest that you will need to use your recovery media to recover your notebok to the state in which it was delivered to you.
Be aware that a recovery deletes all of the files.
If you want to recover the files then you will need to use the backup funstion of the Recovery manager when it asks you if you want to bakup your files. Backup the files to an external disk connected to the notebook by usb. If you skip that step then your files will be deleted and gone.

Windows Vista and No Driver Software for Tungsten E2

I have had my Palm Tungsten E2 for a few months. It works fine and did perfectly well with the Windows XP operating system. Recently I changed computers and have Windows Vista. I installed the program from the CD and then was alerted to go to the website to get the newest version to function with Vista. After doing all of this my Palm will not sync with the computer for it states that I need the driver software installed so that it can function appropriately.
I have done searches on teh computer and online looking for this "software" and it is nowhere to be seeen. Is it part of the Palm Desktop software? Is there a special place it is hiding? I followed the instructions on the Palm site regarding where to find the software manually, but could not come across it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

So you have Palm desktop 6.2? Go to help-about in Palm desktop and look for the version number.
The driver is part of Palm desktop.
You can try this method to see if you can load the driver.
Open device manager on your computer by right clicking on computer, go to properties, hardware and then open device manager. Look under USB devices and see if there is an entry for Palm OS handheld. If you see it, right click on the entry, select uninstall driver. Disconnect the handheld and reconnect. Look at device manager and see if the handheld appears. IF it does then try and Hotsync again.
If it doesn't work, you will need to do a "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop and re-install.
Here are the instructions. Bypass the first step below regarding backing up your data, since you don't have any on the computer.

Palm Desktop Conflict with Vista

I use Windows Vista Home Premium, and I have installed Palm Desktop 6.2 to be used with a Tungsten E2. Problem is that I get an AppCrash error message for the program Windows Media Player when the Palm Desktop software is installed on my computer. About every hour or so, I get the following error message that reads as follows:

Additional Information 4: 719ef9a8ab079fcb5b3b21da22d4fa30
I have deleted the Palm Desktop software from my computer, then deleted the Palm folder under Program files, and finally restarted my computer. After this the error messages stop.
I have then reinstalled the Palm Desktop software onto my computer and the AppCrash error messages for Windows Media Player then come back. Very annoying.
So far as I can tell, the Desktop software syncs fine, using Outlook program as its source.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a glitch with the Palm Desktop software as it is used in computers with the Windows Vista OS?
Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 7 and Vista hotsync instructions here

Recently I have seen a lot of older devices and the question asked. How to hotsync my device to Windows 7 or Windows Vista? Well there are three ways.
First is good old USB. This depends on if your new OS is a 32bit system. How to tell if your OS is a 32bit system, go to: Start-->Right click on Computer or My Computer and select Properties. Look for the System Type. If it says 32bit then all you need to do is download Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (Download Here) and a 3rd party program from Pimlico Software located here: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/, and look for a free program at the bottom of the page called: “PalmHotSyncSetup”.
[UPDATE] Aceeca has come out with 64bit drivers for PalmOS devices! It works with Vista64 and Windows 7 64bit versions! See this thread for download links:   64bit Drivers are HERE!
If you have a 64bit OS below is the only two options you have to sync your Palm OS device. If your computer does not have a Bluetooth or IR adaptor be sure to get one that is compatible to the PC you are using.
Second is Bluetooth. Now if your handheld has a Bluetooth radio you can hotsync though this and not have to worry if you have a 32bit or 64bit OS. To set this up download Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and then look up this link: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/49229_en.html. Depending on your PC you may need to buy a Bluetooth dongle or adaptor. Be sure to get one that is compatible with your system.
Third and last is IR or aka Infrared. This is for the older handheld that do not have Bluetooth. You will need to have an IR port on your computer or find an IR dongle or adaptor for your PC as well. Once you have one look at this link to see how to set one up: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/1941_en.html
This was posted by forum member Candrews. Here it is if you want to view the whole post yourself: Click Me
1)     If you have a Windows 7 version that is compatible with the Windows XP Mode (Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate), go to the Microsoft website and download Virtual PC and the Windows XP Mode application files (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx). Install both;
2)    Install Palm desktop while in the Windows XP Mode;
3)    Launch the hot synchronization manager while in the XP Mode;
4)     Connect the handheld using the USB cable;
5)      Make sure that the handheld is listed under the USB option in the Windows XP Mode toolbar on the top of the screen (you may have to expand the XP Mode window to see it);
6)      Start the hot synchronization operation;
7)      Go back to the USB option in the Windows XP Mode toolbar and choose “Add” for the Palm devise.
This will start the hot synchronization all right. Tip: If you choose "Add" before starting the syncronization operation, it will not work; follow the sequence above. Obs.: I used the older version of Palm desktop (4.2).
Also as a heads up we do not support Windows 7. The directions here are to help and give a work around for this OS.

Did you have a Bluetooth adaptor before you installed Palm Desktop?
You may need to do a clean uninstall. Here is the directions on how to do that:
You should first make a copy of your data. If you have Palm Desktop 4.2 and lower you can copy your user folder by going to C:\Program files\Palm or PalmOne. Once in here look for your username and right click on it and copy it. Then open up My Documents and Pasting it in here. If you have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 go to My Documents/Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. Copy the folder(s) in here and Paste them in My Documents/Documents
Now you will need to uninstall Palm Desktop. First go to Control Panel and in XP go to Add and Remove documents, in Vista Programs and Features. Then look for Palm Desktop and uninstall it. Then go to C:\Program files\Palm or C:\Program files\PalmOne and delete this folder. If you have Vista you will need to go to here:
C:\Program files\Palm
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\Palm or PalmOne
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go into your Control Panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
One this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of your self see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete. To help against this we need to do a backup.
Go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
Easiest way to make sure your doing the right one highlight the key i.e. Palm Quick Install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.

Sync Problems After Installing Vista Service Pack 1

I just installed Vista service pack 1. Hotsync ceased to work. So, after checking Palm online help, I downloaded and installed Desktop 6.2 and Hotsync 7. The instructions said not to uninstall my previous version of Desktop 4.2 and Hotsync 6.01. After completing the installation, I find that my data had not been moved to the new location and that some Hotsync items had changed such as Quick Intall to Install. And, I still can't Hotsync. So, here's a series of questions:
How can I get my data over to Desktop 6.2?
Do I want to move the data over or should I reinstall Desktop 4.2? (I use an XP machine to print my schedule and usually simply copy the user folder from the Vista system to the XP system. There's no Vista print driver available for my hp printer.)
Is Palm trying to become Microsoft by changing where they store information to the confusion of a power user?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

The version 6.2 of Palm desktop does not support your Vx.
Click here for the support page for 6.2; http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html
The only handhelds supported are Palm TX, Z22; Tungsten E2.
You will need to install the version that is on the CD that came with the Vx. You will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop on the Vista PC in order to re-install the older version of Palm desktop.
First thing to consider is, where is the current data. On the device or in the PC?
If you have the data in Palm desktop 6.2, do an export of the data for backup. After the re-install of the older palm desktop, import the data for each category. Since you are still using the XP PC and has data on that system, you can export the data from that PC.
In Vista, the userfolder is in documents-palm os desktop. One caveat here, the data format in the 6.2 user folder is not compatible with the data format in earlier versions of Palm desktop so you cannot copy and paste the entire user folder into the older version of Palm desktop.
Here is a procedure for backing up your data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
To do the "clean" uninstall on the Vista PC, here are the instructions.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Disregard the first step above because your data is on the XP PC and we are just going to import the data.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC

The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)

Viewing Vista Folder Containing Palm Stuff Crashes Window Explorer

After I install the Palm software, it creates a directory in my Documents folder. When I open the Documents folder, Windows Explorer crashes. After I uninstall the Palm software, I have no further issues. So, I tried to be clever and create a folder called Palm Stuff and installed the software in that folder. This worked, excdept when I sync for the first time, it creates a new folder in the Documents folder for the synced info and I am back to where I was. How can I change where that folder is created when I sync?

There are registry entries that need to be deleted to completely remove Palm desktop. Here are the uninstall instructions.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. When it asks for a username, use the name that is in the upper right corner of the hotsync application on your Centro.

Lifedrive and Vista

I haven't been able to synch my Lifedrive since I got Vista. I get a "PalmOne Remote Library failed to initialize" message. I've looked around the Palm website but haven't found any helpful info. Would appreciate any assistance from the electronics gurus out there. I am a zero on the guru scale.

Palm desktop 6.2 was designed for Vista but has reported data loss. If Palm desktop is left open when the system does an update or is shut down, it can lose data. Palm desktop 4.1.4e should work on Vista and will not see the data loss.
What version Vista are you running? On the PC, right click on my computer or the computer icon in Vista. Go to properties and look on the screen for the version, is it 32 or 64 bit?
What version Outlook are you using? If you are using Outlook 2007 you need the conduit update.
Here is the link to the page for the conduits download;

you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen.

Vista automatic logon doesn't work

Please Help!
When Vista tries to automatically login it says it failed.
We've never had a password, just the return key but it won't even give me a prompt to provide the password, just the stupid button.

Your posting doesnt offer any relevant info for better understanding.
Suddenly Vista login failed. What you have done last days?
As R2D2 wrote try to start Vista in safe mode and try to rollback OS to earlier time using system restore tool.

Z22 and Vista

I'm new here so if this has been covered somewhere just let me know where to look.
I just purchased a Z22 and I haven't opened the box yet. I want to make sure that it is compatible with Vista. I downloaded PalmdesktopWin62 and ran the install. It stopped partway through and said it could not upgrade the version already installed. Well, I haven't installed anything yet. but if I go to Control Panel, it shows that Palm software has been loaded (I suspect it is really showing the partial installation I was running) but when I try to uninstall it, I eventually get the message that dll PalmdevC is missing and the uninstall terminates.
So, can someone tell me definitively whether the Z22 is compatible with Vista, and then help me figure out where I should go from here to get it loaded?
Thanks~
Cathy

You need to do a "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop. After the uninstall, install the version of Palm desktop that you got with the Z22.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
You don't need to do the first step above.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.
