  • WINDOWS VISTA 64BIT. a little help please!!!

    hi
    i am running windows vista 64 bit, my motherboard is Asus M3A32MVP, soundcard: Soundblaster Xfi, grapics card ATI 3870x2, processor AMD Athalon 6400 plus running on 4 gb of RAM
    as i read all the posts as to how vista does not have the decoding for the audio sound, i think i may have solved the problem that we need in order to get surround sound. everyone needs to take a look at power dvd 7 max ... which has all of the decoding/encoding software for 5./6./7. surround sound, which seems to be missing from vista's os as far as sound is concerned. I keep seeing the particular fix for the creative driver for xp 64 , and vista 64 which was released on 3/4/08. this will fix the 4g of ram problem. i also purchased the instalation cd for the xfi soundcard for vista which is avaliable through the creative web site... IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE RUNNING THE SAME TYPE OF CONFIGURATION AS I AM OR IF SIMULAR TO WHAT I HAVE...AND IF SO IS IT WORKING TO IT'S FULL CAPACITY...... MEANING NO PROBLEMS..... CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS BEFORE I PUT VISTA 64 BACK ON THE COMPUTER??

  • Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message:

    Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",process orArchitecture="x86"". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.

    A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
    First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
    Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
    Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
    Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
    Windows Update error 8000FFFF
    If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
    After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

  • Backup a dual boot iMac with OSX + Vista to Time capsule and USB hard drive

    I have just bought a Time Capsule which is now working as my WiFi Network base station and backs up an iMac and a Macbook. The iMac has both OSX and Vista (using Boot Camp) and I was using a USB Hard Drive that has 2 partitions (HFS+ for the Mac; NTFS for Vista) to back up the iMac. Rather than leave this attached to the iMac just to back up the Vista partition I would like to move it to the Time Capsule's USB port and use it as NAS. The idea being that it becomes a NAS with one partition used to back up the Windows data when I run the iMac with Vista and the other partition to archive the Time Machine backups from both the iMac and Macbook. I tried to connect it as it was but got an error and reading the forum it seems that it won't work unless both partitions are HFS+ or FAT. If I reformat the NTFS partition to HFS+ will I be able to use the built in backup function of Vista to back up the Vista partition to the USB hard drive? I read somewhere else that Time Capsule takes care of the formatting for an external NAS drive and Windows will be able to read and write to it even though it's not NTFS. Any ideas comments appreciated.

    This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
    You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
    As far as mounting the TC..
    In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
    AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
    Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
    Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
    It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
    Shorten it to FredTC
    No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
    TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
    You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
    But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard.

  • Every time my PC shuts down I need to reinstall Thunderbird on Vista. Why?

    Thunderbird works fine, but when I shut down my PC (running Vista) none of the links to open the programme work and I need to reinstall. The folders I set up are still there after the reinstall, as are the messages!
    Not sure what to do!
    TIA :-)

    That sounds like Vista rolling back to a known good state on restart. I think you need to check the health of your operating system and it's computer (Memory and Hard Disk particularly)

  • Fireworks 8 Vista GIF Transparency

    In Fireworks 8 on Vista Home Premium, when I use the Export
    Wizard and try to select a color for transparency in a GIF, the
    cursor starts alternating rapidly between the eyedropper and the
    arrow. If I move the mouse, the transpaency option seems to go away
    and the cursor continues to blink. When I click on Export, the
    cursor continues to blink on the next screens until I finally
    finish exporting the GIF image.

  • Fireworks 8 compatible with Vista Home Premium?

    I just loaded Macromedia Fireworks 8 to my new Windows Vista
    Home Premium computer. When I open the program, Vista reverts back
    to Home Basic - meaning it's not compatible with Home Premium. Is
    there a free fix for this anywhere on the adobe site????? What do I

  • Vista x64 and MacBook Pro 65nm

    According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    ..this MacBook Pro 15" model is the only one with Vista x64 drivers: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008).
    I have the model from mid 2007, and am wondering why it is not supported?
    As far as I can tell almost nothing has changed in regards to hardware, so why wouldn't it be supported?

    The 2008 Mac Pro went from EFI32 to EFI64, not sure if that is the main or only reason.
    I had to grab 64-bit BootCamp setup elsewhere, as Leopard 10.5.0 retail didn't include those and I wouldn't have support needed for HAL and such.
    Apple started using new Intel chips, but that alone doesn't explain an even more glaring question: the latest 2008 iMac has Penryn cpu and would seem an excellent "candidate" for 64-bit Vista, but that model is excluded and not listed in that article.
    No one of course that knows can say and just speculating out loud.
    Can Vista 64-bit be installed? Probably yes and I think you can find some threads. I started with Vista x64 back in fall '06 pre-beta BootCamp with RC1 of Vista Ultimate but lacked a few things.
    I suspect you have 32-bit EFI firmware is the only real reason.

  • UNINTENDED "Restoration & Recovery" to XP not Vista

    After 18 months hard use of my ThinkPad 7668-CTO I decided it was time to 'start over.'
    So despite this kind of thing making me nervous, and the hours wasted copying the important stuff,
    I embarked on a full restore & recovery to my original factory-set Vista Business by using the 7 CDs provided.
    It went fine - neither a glitch, nor complication, nor any heart-stopping moments.
    Until the process finished, that is,  when I saw my ThinkPad now sported XP,  not the original, factory-set Vista Business.
    I'd like to know why Lenovo
    1. Included only CDs to restore XP on my ThinkPad but not the original, factory-set Vista Business?
    2. Did not label the CDs to show clearly they would install XP
    I want Vista Business back.
    What can I do?
    Message Edited by aldo on 06-16-2009 02:00 PM

    Many thanks for the advice guys,  it's illuminating but leaves me annoyed and unhappy.
    I ordered a ThinkPad X61s  factory loaded with Vista Business. 
    It was delivered together with one Rescue & Recovery CD, and six Product Recovery CDs.
    The Product was Vista Business.
    There was nothing stating the CDs would "downgrade" the Product to XP.
    Why would I think to burn an additional set of recovery discs since Lenovo appeared to supply them?
    It defies logic that Lenovo should consider those who order Vista but later wish to downgrade to XP,  yet does not make clear the recovery discs are for that downgrade and not for Product Recovery which is what it says on the tin labels! 
    The problem was caused by the inclusion and mislabelling of the CDs as recovery discs  -  if they had not been supplied,  or been clearly labelled as the downgrade to XP, then I would have burned the correct ones.
    At least some colleagues with HP notebooks are supplied with TWO sets of recovery CDs, one for Vista, the other for XP. 

  • Backing up partition

    OK, Boot Camp is asking me to reformat the entire drive as a Mac partitioned drive. It says I need to create a backup image. How do I create a backup image of the drive, in order to restore it after I reformat?

    OK. I tried creating a Disk Image using Disk Utility of the Mac partition. But, when I do I get an error
    "Unable to create "Macintosh HD". (Resource busy)
    Please help me fix this problem, so I may get my Vista Partition back up and running. Right now, I have NO Boot Camp partition, as it has been deleted. And, I need it back up ASAP. Even if I've lost my Vista data -- I need Vista, with or without the old stuff.

  • Windows Vista - 'Create New Folder' unavailable

    When I 'right-click' in an open area, the drop-down menu no longer includes 'create new folder'

    Hi，
    As mentioned by
    Luigi Bruno , this issue is mostly caused by registry entry corruption, please first backup the registry before you making any changes on registry, because any incorrect modification might cause serious damage.
    If you have a restore point, then you can also choos to return PC to a previous state at which everything is working fine (note that you wil lose some recent settings)

  • Windows 7 Pro x64 does not detect HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor (accelerometer)

    Hello there.
    I installed win7pro x64 yesterday and already came across a serious problem that makes my way of using the notebook a bit dangerous for my precious data.
    When I was working on HP-branded Vista 32bit (from recovery partition etc), there was a device called HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor together with HP ProtectSmart (or Protect Smart) software. In other words, the HDD accelerometer that parks HDD's heads when it "feels" it's falling or something, and software for it. It worked brilliantly.
    Until I decided to install Win7... Then, surprisingly after a driver-install failure and taking a look at the Device Manager I noticed that there's no such device! I checked it three times, looked at every device's property, even reinstalled Vista 32bit back - it showed again - and installed Win7 - not detected again. There's nothing that has Device ID's HPQ004! I remember people saying that after fresh Windows install, there were 6 unknown devices or more. I had only 5. [Fingerprint device, 3x MemCard reader and IR receiver]. There was no accelerometer... Also, when I try to install the drivers/software, the windows pops up:
    ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection: with text Property.AccelerometerNotPresent
    and then another one saying something like Features were not installed because of installation error or unsupported feature.
    So now I'm stuck with a notebook that is unsafe to travel with, because the disk is no longer protected
    I already installed all the drivers available from HP page, even downloaded newest ones from Intel (chipset) etc.
    Is there a solution to this? Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Windows 7 is officially out and available as RTM version, not beta, so I think HP should open support for it and release new drivers for win7! And most importantly, fix this issue ...
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well, thanks to myself, I fixed it. After some thinking I remembered that ACPI = BIOS-related. It appears that there is a problem with the newest (F16) BIOS.
    F.16 changelog is below:
      Version: F.16 A  (26 May 2009)       Fixes  
    Updates the Intel MRC Code to version 2.7.
    Updates the Intel AHCI OP ROM to version iSrc 1.20_E.0012 11252008.
    Updates the BIOS to support Microsoft Windows Vista Operating Systems with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
     I went back to version F.14 and... boom! New (unknown) device found And guess what, it's ACPI/HPQ0004... So now my HDD is protected again ^^ yay!
    I don't know which of these changes cause that, but it looks that that can be fixed.
    I'll go back to F.16 again to see if the device will disappear and then contact HP support on that case.
    EDIT: Well, F.16 breaks things again, so it's definetely a BIOS problem. Thanks for... umm... well... at least spread the word, guys I hope this helps if someone has the same problem.

  • Several issues with Lumia 810/820

    I am a tech reviewer looking at the 810 (T-Mobile) and 820 (AT&T). There are some issues I want to address before I publish to make sure it has not been resolved or if I am doing something wrong. Here are some excerpts. Comments/corrections are welcomed.
    Connecting to Wi-Fi should be easier. It takes 4 steps to connect to a Wi-Fi signal. The steps are swipe left, swipe up, settings, Wi-Fi, choose signal. This is particularly irritating since Nokia does not have an agreement with public Wi-Fi providers such as Starbucks to bypass the confirmation screen automatically. The result is no connection is made without user intervention. By contrast, the Samsung Note on AT&T connects automatically to Starbucks and does not time out and disconnect. This means synching, updates, and other alerts are automatic once you are in range of an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot using the Samsung Note. It’s unclear if this is an AT&T feature but the Lumia 820 using AT&T did not auto connect to AT&T’s network. If an app requiring an Internet connection is launch and none is found, an error is displayed instead of prompting the user to connect using an available Wi-Fi connection. 
    Both the Lumia 810 & 820 has an irritating habit of timing out and disconnecting from Wi-Fi after some predefined period. If you're connected to a public Wi-Fi which required an acknowledgment, your connection will stop working until you re-confirm. It will even disconnect in the middle of downloads. This is not a public Wi-Fi policy issue as my laptop, tablet and Samsung Note never disconnects from the same Wi-Fi. It appears to be a combination of the Lumia and public Wi-Fi as the Lumia connected to a private Wi-Fi network does not disconnect.
    On both the 810 and 820, when trying to connect to Starbucks’ open Wi-Fi, the user is sometimes presented with the web page www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt instead of the usual Starbucks welcome page. While I know enough to change the url to www.yahoo.com to receive the Starbuck’s Wi-Fi acknowledgement page, your average soccer mom will just be baffled and sit there with a blank stare wondering why there is no connection. Looking at the explanation for ncsi, I am convinced this is the evil spirit of the dreaded Windows Vista coming back to haunt Windows 8 users.
    Although the Lumia 810/820 are NFC enabled, users should beware that NFC transfer is often not interoperable between NFC devices from different manufacturers. It’s sometimes not even compatible between different devices from the same manufacturer if they are running different version of Android. Despite the presence of NFC on both the Lumia 810 and 820, it is not possible to transfer photos via NFC between these two very similar phones.
    Another photo sharing option is Photobeamer. Photobeamer is initiated from the phone with the sending photo. The receiving end works by going to www.photobeamer.com where a unique QR code is displayed to be scanned with the source phone. In testing, it works great between mobile phones including the Lumia 810/820 and Samsung Note connected to Wi-Fi but trying to receive the photo on a laptop running Chrome just displays a black screen. It eventually times out and redisplays the QR code. On Firefox and IE, a corrupted image is displayed. This may possibly be due to bandwidth or browser issues but Scalado touts their solution as non technical, requiring little bandwidth with zero configuration. On phone connected to slower 2G connections, www.photobeamer.com failed to display the unique QR code altogether or only did so after an agonizing 5 minute wait.
    Nokia acquired Scalado (creator of Photobeamer) in 3rd quarter of 2012 so while the app is available for Nokia running Windows 8, it may not be available for other Windows 8 phones. There was an iOS app but it no longer shows up in the Apple App store.

    hi mate,
    As this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services, you can reach someone more directly by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page and leaving your feedback with them, for Nokia issues. Additionally, you can also leave feedback with Microsoft directly by the link: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com
    I can however, respond to some of the issues you are facing. The first of connecting to WiFi, though not natively in Windows PHone 8, you can download an app from the Store such as ConnectivityShortcuts which lets you pin tiles to the Start screen to enable one-tap access to WiFi and Bluetooth and Network etc.
    For the disconnect from the WiFi, the update from Microsoft that is Portico and that has already been released for AT&T and Rogers customers, and that is coming in February 2013 for other Lumia WP8 devices, addresses this issue and adds an option in the WiFi settings, to keep the WiFi on when the screen is locked.
    For the Starbucks thing, it sounds like a Starbucks thing as i've had no issues connecting to McDonalds WiFi here in Australia, and as for the Photobeamer, i had no issue running it in IE10 and the latest version of Chrome on Windows 8. It is dependent on the speed of WiFi and cellular, so images will appear pixelated until the data transfer is completed.
    For Scalado, Nokia makes some great products and keeping it exclusive to the Lumia range, is another way of differentiating their product from other competitors.

  • Itunes connects in one account, not another

    I have two user accounts set up in my computer, one for the adults and one for the kids. When I open itunes in the adult account, it works fine. When I open itunes in the kids' account, it won't connect to itunes store, even if I use the adult itunes account. How do I make it connect in the kids' user account?

    If I recall correctly, some folks had success with disabling Vista parental controls on the kid's windows user account.
    After that's done, start itunes and log into the itunes store with the kid's itunes account.
    Then close itunes, and change the Vista permissions back to have controls.
    After that, the kids should be able to log into the store with their itunes account - with Vista parental controls intact.
    I can't remember the exact steps posted, but it was an iTunes bug tied to not handling Vista parental controls correctly.
    just thought of something else, it might also be a problem with the additional itunes preferences > edit > Parental tab.
    You might try turning that off, logging the kids in, then turning it back on.

  • TX2Z - 5 days of use: my initial impression, issues and need for advice

    Hello All,
    I have had my TX2Z for a complete 5 days now. Prior to purchasing, i had a Dell 700m for almost 4 years. When I bougt the Dell, i got it loaded with a 2GHz Intel processor, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, XP Pro, etc.  It is a brilliant machine and I really enjoyed it...it was good to me and I really can say I never had any issues with it.  I took care of it and it returned the favor.  I upgraded to Vista Business back in November and it was still great.  In fact, I still think it out performs (in terms of speed and stability), most other new laptops owned by my collegues. However, for work, i really needed a tablet and although i read some bad reviews about the TX2Z, i read many more good reviews.  So a couple of weeks ago, I called them and ordered a pretty loaded one.  I have the 2.4GHz processor, 4GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64 bit, 250GB 7200 RPM HDD, etc.  I assumed it would be quite fast since reviews i read stated the standard 2.2GHz processor was sufficient.
    So it came in last Tuesday and I began the migration process.  I did a lot of reserach online about what bloatware to remove and did so.  Between work and time at home, it took me 2 days to get everything to migrate over from my Dell and install my applications. I partitioned the HD and put my data on the new partition.  Outlook migration was quite bothersome to say the least.
    I've had a lot of strange issues and had to do a lot of reserach to find fixes but it seems random new issues pop up from time to time.  They may be small, but i'm not too technical so I just expect things to work as they did on my Dell for so long.  
    1. I feel its very slow. When you click on something, like when going through email in Outlook, the email just doesn't show up in the preview pane right away...it takes anywhere from 3-5 seconds...something that was instant before.  Same thing when doing many other things...I feel like even web browsing has slowed down. i have defragmented, cleaned, optimized, etc...still inadequate.
    2. I feel its very delicate.  I've had it freeze on me a couple of times and today, i booted up and logged in and it went to some other profile on the computer with a message stating that there was an issue with my user profile.  scared me, but i restarted and then it booted into my profile.  then when i booted up again later, it did the same thing!  thank God this time it was fine on the first go, but now i feel i have to worry about that every time i boot up...not a cool feeling.
    3. I'm trying to get used to the tablet portion of it, but i feel it can be a little annoying sometimes.  i won't complain much about it though because I think i need more practice first.  i can write pretty well, but drawing on teh screen, the main reason for my using it, isn't that friendly...i always have to put the screen up to access teh keyboard and touchpad to really have what i want happen...i can't just do everything from the tablet.
    4. heat: ive seen many people complain about this...it really is annoying how much heat comes out of this thing.  i have to keep a folded cloth on my lap so it doesn't bother me.
    5. fan: again, another concern i see expressed a lot...very annoying so i try to use only when unplugged and charge when i'm not using it.  for the heat issue and the fan...i don't understand why HP doesn't use something else...i mean in this day and age, when they know this is a known issue on other models, why would they use it again?
    so that's pretty much all i can think of now.  i do like a number of things too, but i really would like advice on the above.  i know a lot of you will say just to wipe everything out and start over, but is there any other way to run some tests to see what the issue is?  i really don't want to go through another 2 day process. also, if i have to do this, is there a better way to migrate programs and data to an external HD and then back?  i just moved my data to an external HD and basically just installed software using discs and internet downloads...took forever!
    what about these recover discs i hear a lot aboutt?  if i make them now, will they keep all current data and configurations too or just the original OS?
    sorry for the long post, but would like some help on what to do.  i need to have some confidence built in me about this machine and some reassuracne that i should be happy for the next 2-3 years.  TIA.

    4. A swipe gesture to the apps screen.
    hmmm this is actually a not bad idea!
