Mar 7, 2010This function is just driving me nuts, so is there any way to disable the smartselect/highlight stuff like when you click on some text hold down the left mousebutton and drag the mouse to mark a potion of the text. Instead of just highlighting it character by character it auto marks who words and stuff instead, really annoying.

Mar 11, 2009I have a Dell D630 with a built in smart card reader and I have been trying to use ACS' ACOS5 smart card for authentication, which I have had zero success.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWindows Smart Card Logon On Stand Alone Machine
Mar 23, 2008I just want to share with you my thoughts about smart card authentication implementation in Vista. I know that smart card logon, also known as strong authentication or two- actor authentication, can be performed on a machine that is connected to a domain. And in Vista SP1 it's been added the support for biometric factor authentication so that, with the appropriate security tokens, strong three-factor authentication can be performed through Kerberos on machines connected to a domain.
Said that I really can't understand why Microsoft doesn't give a standard option, included natively in her oss, to enable strong authentication in stand alone machines that are not connected to a domain. I try to explain in details what I mean. It happens often, for security reasons, that companies have stand alone pcs not connected to the internet and to the company domain. From my point of view achieving a strong authentication on a stand alone machine is not so complicated; Let's think at this scenario:.................
Not Recognized Smart Card Reader On Vista Home Premium 64 Bit
May 26, 2009I have to set up a smart card reader on Vista Home Premium 64 bit for a user, but cannot get it to be recognized. It is an SCR331, about 6 years old. I have downloaded Vista64 drivers from SCMMicro but though the card reader will work on an XP machine, it will not work on Vist64. When I install it, or reboot and it detects new hardware, and tell it where I downloaded the drivers it says this folder does not contain the necessary drivers. If I look at the 32bit drivers online it says there is a firmware upgrade but I do not want to apply that and have the reader stop working on the XP machine as well.

View 7 Replies View RelatedBios And Revert Would Not Bios
Sep 19, 2008I've been messing around in my BIOS. Installing some faster RAM and trying a slight overclock (2.4 t0 2.7Ghz on a Q6600) and seem to have caused myself several problems. Firstly I tried to push it a bit further on the FSB- from 1200 to 1300-the system wouldn't boot and wouldn't let me into the BIOS. I eventually got round this by removing the mobo battery. I was able to get back into the BIOS and revert to my original oc. However when I booted I got a re register Windows this is not a genuine version notice. I had to 'phone microsoft and get a new activation ID. I'm now back in windows (Vista HP 64 bit) but seem to have a few left over issues. My clock was set back to 2006 and that meant I couldn't activate Gmail etc. I went back into the BIOS and reset the date but could not change the day. So it's 3.19PM on Monday the 22nd of September, 2008. I've tried everything I can think of but cannot find a way to make it Friday, which it is.
Also I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. This keeps reporting that my computer is at risk and I need to update. I've updated over a dozen times but it doesn't seem to change and is still telling me it needs to update. These are ther first problems I have noticed. I hope I don't find more. Does anyone have any advice as to how to get my day and date correct and how to convince Kaspersky it's up to date?
External Harddrive
Oct 4, 2008I am getting a 1TB external harddrive and was wondering weather I could basically copy the whole of my C: drive including the OS to it. I also want to boot straight from the external drive. I also do not really care if it is'nt recommended lol. If this is possible would it also be possible to dual-boot with XP? I have both install disks for Vista and XP and I am willing to buy software.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHarddrive Stuck Up
May 11, 2009I was about to order a new harddrive since mine has failed. But then I decided to look inside one more time, and found that there are two harddrives in there. I never used he second one at all even though it was always there (i figured it was just one harddrive split in two and never needed the extra space). So I decided to switch the harddrive cords since one was hard to get to and because I have no idea which is the one I was using and which one I never used. I used my recovery disks on it and it seemed like everything was going fine. Then to test it, I shut down the computer then turned it back on 5 minutes later. Then I got stuck on the black screen with blinking "_", and eventually it says failed to boot disk please insert system disk.
so my questions are:
*Did switching the cords make the secondary harddrive the main one,
*Does this mean both harddrives have failed?
*Are my system files corrupt?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHarddrive Slowing Down
Jun 26, 2008When I power on my PC running Vista and having a huge engine, the first approx. 30 minutes something is accessing my harddrive. It sounds as a program is constan tly reading and or writing to the drive, slowing down the entire system. I am using the avast virus protecting, but shut down what I don't need (I have no virus), the indexing I have also closed, and I am not running the Sidepanel (closed down a few days ago). Looking at the joblist I can see no processes using more than 2%, however the disk is used 48% (as shown in the sidepanel). Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to cure this? The PC is a Medion bought late last year. It is my first PC with Vista.

Apr 29, 2008And i can hear the harddrive running all the time, even when the PC is doing
nothing.
I have turned off indexing, that search thing, and auto defrag and also the superper frech thing but still it is running at 100%.
if i check the monitoring tools it shows it at 100% all the time.
i left the machine on for 3 days doing nothing, and still hd is running at 100%.
i cant do that much with the thing, it can take 5min to copy a 10mb file on the desktop to my documents folder.
I have done a totaly reinstall (and disbaled the above services), and again still running at 100% all the time the machine specs, are quad 2.6ghz, 3gb ram, 750gb hd.
i have also noticed that the avalible memory is 10mb when checking on task manager.
(i have also installed windows xp pro, and this works all ok, so i am guess it is something to do with vista)

Booting From Harddrive On A Desktop?
Sep 12, 2009I am building a PC for the first time and the assembly wasn't too bad. Every component is powering up and seems to be operating fine. I also installed my 2.5" Hard drive from my broken laptop that runs 32bit Vista Home Premium. So after the motherboard posts when i first started up, vista boots but is extremely sluggish.
I am a real novice when it comes to this sort of stuff, but i think the problem is that the harddrive hasnt detected the new components. Aside from the processor it still shows old hardware from the laptop like memory and video card and doesnt even register the second hard drive installed. How can i get vista to recognize all the new hardware? The reason i did this is because i wanted to get around buying another copy of vista if i could.
