View 9 Replies View RelatedWithout a doubt the worst windows version ever made! Microsoft were finally on track with windows XP pro but they had to go and screw it up by bringing us vista! Nothing works, nothing is compatible every program supposedly compatible seizes or shuts down! It is constantly vulnerable to viruses! There's no end to the complaints I have about this crappy version of windows! Wake up microsoft because you're just soft now and nothing micro about it!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm just starting to use Windows Mail - looking for a way to display the names in my contact list (previously address book) on the "home" page of Mail, under the folder list, as I used to see them in Outlook Express. It's much more cumbersome to have to open the contact list, find a name and then click on the email button. Is that the only way to open a new mail with a person's name in the To field?

Wlan drivers were not installed or supplied which I thought odd but went to Toshiba site and downloaded and installed driver for:"wlan-intel-3945-4965-v1200730-vista32.zip". From the start connection was very hit and miss, if I persevered and kept trying diagnosing and repairing the connection it might connect or might not. Now it won't connect at all. From previous experience I knew that a misconfigured firewall could cause problems so I uninstalled the trial version of McAfee and turned off Windows firewall, I intended to install Zone Alarm anyway. Also disabled router firewall. No difference at all.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know how to get Incompatible games to work is the simple answer. I will be here during my time on this forum correcting any issues for games. Dungeon Keeper is one of my all time favourite games, took me about a week to find this fix, been working on it really hard. You don't need DosBox, or Virtual Servers etc, just Windows Vista, and Dungeon Keeper. I am at work at the moment, so I can't post what to do to make it work, but will do shortly, on my break or something.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSetup: New Vista PC (bargain-rack special - a bare-bones office machine with Vista Home Basic) has a built-in VGA adapter. I want to do the two-monitor setup, so I plugged in my ATI video card as the second video driver. Problem: When I boot the machine, I get the following error: Incompatible display adapter has been disabled. At least one display adapter on the system has been disabled because its driver is not compatible with the driver for the VGA adapter.
What I find odd, though perhaps it is not odd to you, is that the internal driver was the one disabled - the ATI card is now defaulted as the main (and only enabled) driver. In Control Panel, it does not say that the drivers or controllers are disabled, but instead that there are problems. Clicking on Troubleshoot does nothing at all.
I use Verizon Wireless Vzaccess (wireless card) as my internet provider. I have my Windows Mail set up, however, everytime I try to use it, it automatically disconnects me from the internet. I have not problems using my Windows Mail with other internet providers.

After i install it, i cant find it anywhere, its like its not installing even though it appears to install and i dont get any error messages.

Ive reinstalled it mulitple times with the same results.
I am trying to find an external hard disk drive that is fully compatible
with Vista x64.
I purchased a Western Digital My Book Premium II drive and it doesn't work
properly even though their web site states that is Vista compatible. I
contacted them and they fairly ridiculed me for assuming that that meant it
would be compatible with 64-bit Vista. I can still use the drive to
actually copy files to but there is no 64-bit driver so the bundled software
doesn't work and Vista keeps telling me that it needs to install a driver
for this device.
I contacted Seagate about their FreeAgent Pro product and they claim it
should work even though there is also no 64-bit driver for it. I don't
trust that statement after my experience with the WD drive.

My concern is that all my old software in my current PC (with XP) may not be compatible with Windows Vista.

Has anyone had any problem with Windows Compatibility in installing old software from XP into Vista?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell M6300 laptop running Vista Ultimate x86 that I want to ugprade to Ultimate x64. I currently use Embassy Trust Suite on this laptop (with Vista Ultimate x32) for hardware authentication. My HDD and system are locked by passwords which are both mapped to my fingerprint. The hardware authentication is the only functionality I use it for. The 2.1.2.25 version of Embassy Trust Suite is available from Dell for my model but it doesn't appear to be x64 compatible. It lists only Vista x86. Embassy has a full version on their website but it references the TPM driver from my manufacturer. Does anyone out there have an M6300 running an x64 version of Vista?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed Sandboxie and used it untill I realized it toggled Protected Mode to OFF. I posted on the Sandboxie forum my concerns about Protected Mode: OFF. I questioned why Sandboxie is not compatible with Vista defaults. I questioned why and how Sandboxie is able to toggle Vista defaults. I received several very ascertive and defensive comments from the site admin.i.e. I don't need Protected Mode > Protected Mode offers only a very limited Sandbox for IE7 >Sandboxie will protect IE7, my programs, my apps. and my HDD/Computer better than Protected Mode or anything else Vista/Microsoft has to offer. The application does run flawlessly and after hours of use I had no tracks, no temps, no reg. entries, nothing got to my HDD. Everything was dumped when I closed the program. So, in theory any malware was also dumped. The Author of Sandboxie and several reviews claim Sandboxie as the best first line of security defense. Defense against Zero Day attacks, Hacker Wednesday etc. etc. Nothing gets to my HDD, so no worries. I hope this post is not too long and your still with me. My concerns are Protected Mode:OFF and I don't know what else Sandboxie toggles away from Vista defaults.
