Windows Vista Sidebar destination.msi issue
When I try to start Windows Sidebar I get popups searching for destination.msi folder.
How do I fix this?
Ok, seems like this issue appears once in a while. But you could try the following:
First, you have to open the command prompt, but with a right click "Run as Administrator".
Then navigate with the CD command to following folder: C:\progam files\windows sidebar-
Ok, now you have to type in the following:
1. regsvr32 -u sbdrop.dll (after each command approve with ENTER)
2. regsvr32 -u wlsrvc.dll
3. regsvr32 atl.dll
4. regsvr32 sbdrop.dll
5. regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll
Done that, your sidebar should work again.

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!
am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.
hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

M515 and Windows Vista 64 bit HotSync Issue
Hi
I have a M515 which I am unable to sync with a Windows Vista 64 bit machine using a USB cable. My computer does not have a IR port.
Read thru several threads but did not find a solution for this problem for a 64 bit machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Post relates to: Palm m515Hello 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.

Thinking about playing with Vista don't really know why except Just to look , Missing lots of Software and a few Harddrive Drivers.. Ok I was trying to install Vista on one of my 2 SATA promise controller drives, they are set up as Storage, Not raid at the present time. when trying to install , I see that my 2 Sata's are setup as Dynamic HD's So what can I do to make one bootable.? I did a low level fromat one of them it is clean..MSI Drivers
urrr.... can Vista suport Dynamic HD? If your current OS can boot to this Dynamic HD, then why not Vista? If these 2 SATA is not a boot drive, then I guess u dun have much choice but to format them for Vista...

Windows Vista Home prem Sleep issues on macpro
Hi all i recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15" 2.5 processor and duel booted it with vista home prem,
(i use refit as my boot-up program)
recently after using the vista side more often i've discovered that if i leave the laptop on and its idle it will go into sleep or hibernation not sure which one(i use a LED mouse which stays on during the laptops 'sleep' state), however i cannot re-awake the laptop from this state i usually have to turn the laptop off then on again, when entering windows after i have done this it says its recovered from a serious error and would i like to start in safe mode etc..
i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows a way to solve it,
thanks allIt is possible that even the latest Apple BootCamp 2.1 drivers don't handle the latest MBP hardware.
Early on, hibernation was a problem for anyone on Vista, PCs as well as Macs.
I have to unplug my mouse and keyboard when it goes into hibernation. When you restart in that manner, do you do a chkdsk or have any errors crop up as a result? I know on OS X side that can leave the disk dirty and in need of repair.
PS: I thought you were talking about the desktop MacPro, not the MacBook Pro... -
Upgraded to 10.5.1 and bought the cloud on an XP desktop. Downloaded 10.5.1 to a 32 bit Vista laptop and iTunes doesn't fully function. I can't access the store or the cloud where my library is. I also can't back up from my iPhone. Apps do update. I have tried the repair utility and uninstall/reinstall.
I would do an archive install. the archive install has improved since tiger. I did a upgrade and it failed and ended up with most of the same problems you are having.

ITunes 7.7, Windows Vista, 80GB iPod classic issues...
Since installing iTunes 7.7, I have been unable to anything with it. When I connect my iPod, it freezes iTunes, and subsequently the rest of my system.
At one point, iTunes recognised my iPod, but told me that I had to reset it to factory settings. When I did, everything was fine until I ejected. When I reconnected, I went through the same thing.
This was after an hour or so of iTunes telling me that it could not recognise my iPod.
I should mentioned that I uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes numerous times. Attempted to revert back to 7.6 to no avail. Then reverted my hard drive back a few days.
My iPod has likewise, been restored at least three times, since it has not shown up with anything on any other computer, since 7.7 was installed.
I get the feeling that I am not the only person with this problem, however is there a way to resolve it?

Itunes Video Quality issues and crash in Windows vista
When using itunes listening to music works great, however when i play music videos purchased from the store they keep on skiping and after a while itunes will close and a message from windows will appear saying the software stopped working. when the video is playing the sound is fine and plays quite happily in the background however the video freezes and jumps.

ITunes 7.3.2.6 and Windows Vista Performance Issues
I recently purchased an 80GB iPod, and downloaded iTunes promptly, disregarding all the negative attention about how "iTunes crashes your computer" or "iTunes kills Windows". So far, the only real problem I've had with iTunes is the amazingly poor performance it has on my computer. When iTunes is minimized to the system tray, or compressed into Mini Player mode, it runs better, but not well.
Running in the full mode, the player bogs down my computer substantially. Knowing my laptop isn't a powerhouse, I expected a slight bit of slowdown, since there is some evident with QuickTime.
UPDATE: I've just stumbled across something. Apparently, wiggling my mouse over the iTunes program, iTunes runs about two or three times faster. The moment I stop moving the mouse cursor over the window, the speeds return to slow. It seems to only do this during the "Processing Album Artwork" phase. Bizarre? Very. Any explanations?
I find this to be very annoying, especially when syncing. Syncing my library (which is about five or six gigabytes) takes an amazingly long time. Are there any workarounds, registry hacks, or anything else that can be done? Thanks!

Secutiry error in windows vista gadgets
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to add a flash into a microsoft windows vista

My flash needs to download different files (pictures, music,

gadget (html pages) via javascript.
I tried to add a crossdomain.xml file and to set the
'allowScriptAccess' to 'always' but with no success so far...
Here's how the flash is added into the gadget :
var div_id = "playerDiv";
var fo = new FlashObject(
http://test_server/player/widget.swf,
"flash_movie", "262", "265", "9", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addParam("menu", true);
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
fo.addParam("allowNetworking", "all");
fo.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
fo.write(div_id);
Thanks in advance to anyone who could help me,
Cheers,

Service pack 1 for windows vista home premium
Recently my computer had a virus. I had to do a complete system restore. Now that I have done this I am trying to install the service pack 1 for this operating system and I get to the third step and the progress bar hardly moves. I have let it run for
up to 8 hours and no progression. I tried to install the service pack 2 but it says I need 1 first. Need lots of help on this issue please. Windows update not catching that I need this.Hi,
During the Windows Vista SP1 installation, this issue occurs when a third-party application holds open a file or locks a file that the Service Pack installation program
has to use. For example, a third-party antivirus or antispyware application may cause this problem. If you are running any third-party applications such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost the speed of the Internet connection),
security or anti-virus programs (McAfee, Norton, etc.), I recommend temporarily disabling or shutting them down during the troubleshooting process. Please be sure to re-enable them once the process has completed.
I recommend running Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool. System resources, such as file data, registry data, and even in-memory data, can develop
inconsistencies during the lifetime of the operating system. These inconsistencies can be caused by various hardware failures or software issues. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows servicing store, and they can cause software updates
not to work. We can run Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool to resolve these inconsistencies. When Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool detects incorrect manifests, files, or registry data, it might replace the
incorrect data with a corrected version. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Run Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool
1. Please download and run Reset Windows Update Tool from the link below:
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9665683
2. Please download and run System Update Readiness Tool from the link below according to the System Type:
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista 32-bit

3. Restart the computer and install Windows Vista SP1. Let’s reinstall
SP1 standalone installer in Clean Boot.
For your reference, I have attached these steps as below:
Step 1: Download Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Standalone Installer
====================================================
1. Download Windows Vista SP1 from the link below according to the System Type:
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista 32-bit (Size: 544.3MB)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f559842a-9c9b-4579-b64a-09146a0ba746&DisplayLang=en

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=86d267bd-dfcd-47cf-aa76-dc0626dcdf10&DisplayLang=en
2. Please save it on the Desktop.
Step 2: Install Windows Vista SP1 in Clean Boot Mode
=========================================
Please disable all startup items and third party services when booting to avoid conflict when installing
Vista SP1.:
1. Click "Start", type: MSCONFIG in the search box and press Enter.
Note: Please click "Continue" if the "User Account Control" window pops up.
2. Click "Services", check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click "Startup", click "Disable All", click "OK" and restart the computer.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We can manually run these programs later.
4. Please double click the downloaded Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Standalone Installer and follow the instructions to install Windows
Vista SP1.
To restore the computer to use a Normal Startup, repeat step 1 above. Then click "Normal Startup" on the General tab, click "OK", and then restart the computer.
Please take your time with the steps and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If there are any questions or concerns, please post here for further
research.

Videos won't play properly with Windows Vista
Hi there,
I recently installed iTunes on my new computer, which is running Windows Vista Home Premium. After transferring my library over I tried to play a video to test it out, but found that the videos were all extremely choppy. I installed new video drivers for my video card (Nvidia 8800 GT), made sure I had the latest version of iTunes (7.2.0.35) and went through most of the steps in this troubleshooting article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305392
I didn't perform the last two steps (Modify your System Drive Configuration and Disable Readyboost) because I didn't see "the IDE bus that contains your hard drive" and am not using a flash-based drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Windows Vista
Does anyone know if Dreamweaver MX 2004 will install and run
on the new Windows Vista?Looks like the only thing I can't do is establish a
connection to a db. I
get a 405 error with both DWX 2004 and DW8 trial.
If I manually setup the string in code it will work, but then
you can't use
server behaviors.
