BitDefender Antivirus 2009 And Rename The "Removable Disk"s On Vista
Nov 29, 2008
I just found this forum while looking for a solution to rename the "Removable Disk"s on Vista (I.e.: set them with a significant name). It looks great so I decided to subscribe and share my little knowledge about Vista. Well, it's actually mainly to ask you to share your knowledge with me. Here is my story: I have installed BitDefender Antivirus 2009 on my Vista Ultimate x64 and experience two big issues. I have reported those issues to the BitDefender's technical support but it's the weekend, so not yet any answer...
First, Firefox 3.0.4 crashes when I exit the browser if I keep the BitDefender Antiphishing add-on enabled. Everything goes fine if I disable it (from the Tools/Add-ons pane of Firefox, not from the AntiPhishing's right-click menu). I didn't see a lot of people complaining about this issue yet. Do you know something about that and maybe how to solve it? Next, the Bitdefender services stop to run when I wake up my PC (I.E.: after a "standby"). And the following message appears in the System event log : "The BitDefender Virus Shield service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).". This one is really a big issue as I often use the Sleep mode instead of a real shutdown... meaning that I will often be without any protection when I wake up my PC... Did someone else experience the same issue? If I get answers from BitDefender (I hope I will... as I paid for the licence), I will post them here.

I had been trying to install Norton AntiVirus 2009 15 days trial. When i click on the installation file, the installation will start. The status of the installation will only remain at "Intializing". Approximately 5 seconds later, the installation will stop, no prompt message appear.
Same scenario appears no matter how many times i tried to install.

I have just installed Vista Ultimate 64 Bit (on my 500 GB Seagate hard disk, the main hard disk). Then, I added 2 more hard disks (a 1 TB Hitachi and another 500 GB Seagate), so now I have 3 SATA hard disks installed. However, Vista cannot start. Sometimes, it stuck on the boot screen (the one with the scrolling green bar), sometimes it just show black blank screen. I then tried to disconnect, completely, the 2 hard disks I just installed. Vista can boot properly, I can access my data from both hard disks without problem.
When only the 1 TB Hitachi and the main hard disk are connected, Vista can boot properly and I can access my data from both hard disks without problem. When only the other 500 GB Seagate and the main hard disk are connected, Vista can boot properly, I can access my data from both hard disks without problem. However, if I connect the 3 hard disks at the same time, vista doesn't want to boot. I already installed the SATA controller driver from the CD that comes with the motherboard.
My system spec:
- Motherboard: Asus Striker Extreme
- Processor: Intel Core2Duo Dual Core 2.4 Ghz
- RAM: 4 GB (4x1 GB) DDR2
- Graphic Card: Nvidia 8800GTS, from ASUS
- 2 DVD Writers (LG and Sony), both IDE
- 1 Floppy Disk Drive

I have an hp desktop that came with vista home premium preinstalled. It will not boot up now. So I tried the emrgency recovery disks that I was told to createwhen I first got the computer and they didn't work. I thought I would have to boot from windows vista disks to repair this. No Vista disks came with the computer. My question is can I buy the upgrade SP1 disk to both improve the system and resolve the boot problem or am I forced to get the Full system

The tech at HP told me that I need to use the exact same hard drive (Fujitsu 120G) that came with the notebook originally to use the recovery disks to reinstall Vista. Is that true? I wanted to use a Western Digital 160G HD instead.

I want to reinstall Vista using the provided recovery disks using my laptop, and then set up 7 as a dual boot. You know, have Vista for those games, and have 7 for everything else.
I have an Asus G51VX-RX05, which also is referred to as simply G51VX (Best Buy). Yes, I've heard it a million times, don't buy a computer at best buy. I know, I know. I won't do it again, I promise. So I want to use the provided recovery discs from my laptop to reinstall Vista. When I was installing 7 over Vista, I followed this: Clean Install Windows 7 - How to Perform a Clean Installation of Windows 7 - Part 1 of 3...........

Does anybody out there know if there's a free antivirus app that works with Vista? My Norton subscription ran out and don't think Norton is worth what Symantec charges. I know Computer Associates had a very good app for winxp, can't seem to find the same for Vista.

I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista. Vista Antivirus Pro has appeared and is creating havoc on my system. Is anyone familiar with Vista Antivirus Pro? I removed my laptop from my network and then I ran a boot scan with Avast! It said that it removed a Trojan, but today, Vista Antivirus Pro is back. I don't know what else to do.

I have hp laptop with Vista Home Premium (OEM) installed. I've made Recovery Disks using the Recover Manager. I wish to have a clean install of Vista instead of using the Recovery Disks. I've read previous threads but I have to say I am only getting more confused.
- Can I perform clean install of my Vista OEM?
- Can I use any copy of Vista OEM cd and use the Product Key sticked behind my laptop?.........

So I basically explained what I wanted to do with the title: I want to add desktop icons of removable drives whenever I insert a flashdrive/memorystick/or some other kind of drive. I also want it to disappear once that drive is removed.
This is probably the one feature I want from Macs that Vista doesn't have. The dock is the second, although that's an easy fix with so many dock programs around.
So am I asking for too much with this small feature? Already I have shortcuts of the drive icons on my desktop, but it looks a bit ugly, especially when an icon has a question mark sign on it. And I'm trying to keep my desktop as clean as possible. Last, I'd prefer that the program is free.

Given an internal drive with multiple Vista installations how do I change the drive letter of the boot drive of an installation?
Best explained with an example. Given:
Partition 1: Vista 1
Partition 2: Vista 2
Partition 3: Vista 3
etc.......
In other words, Vista seems to insist on the currently running system living on C: (like in the olden days). I thought since W2K Windows can be installed on any drive e.g. my old system has W98 on C: (no choice there) but W2K boots from and stays on D:.

I have a newly built rig which I dual boot Vista HP 32bit and Win7 Ultimate 64bit. Up until about 3 days ago, I have been able to use my external USB backup drive, transfer music to my phone’s memory card, and use my thumb drives. Now every time I try to transfer something new to one of them, I get this. “The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk” I booted into Win7, and I was able to transfer files with no problems at all. As soon as I go back into Vista, can’t transfer or delete anything.

Windows Mail's export only works to the local hard drive (heaven knows why). vereything works fine up to that point. Then the last step - copying the export from the hard drive to a removable medium fails. Eg I put the export into a folder on the desktop, but it won't copy to a USB flash stick: it gets started and then hangs - suddenly saying it will take 20+ hours to complete. There is no conceivable space issue. How can I do this last step, which is the key step? Have MS put in a spoiler?

it will almost be Windows 7 time which, as we well know. means it's time to say Hasta la Vista, Baby (and take Frank with you). In the meantime, as a registered and legal local OEM, I am going to stock up on XP licenses.

About 2 months ago i upgraded my WLM suite. To my horror, they changed windows live mail from an application, back to a website email. So quickly system restored back and luckily was able to retrieve the old version which is an actual client installed on my PC as opposed to hotmail.com. Anyway, I've noticed with my old version of messenger, i am plagued with that annoying cant sign in troubleshoot thing and thought i might want to upgrade to the WLM 2009 messenger. THing is, with this new WLM suite range, i cannot upgrade messenger without upgrading my email client. Is there a trick to upgrade messenger without upgrading mail?
