I have a dell xps M1530. After fiddling with a bunch of settings to get protools 7.3 (an XP program) to work in compatability mode, it wouldnt work after installing and uninstalling it a few times so i bought the new vista compatible version but when i went to uninstall it it wouldnt let me. I then turned off DEP with setup>performance>dep but it didnt work so i disabled it in command prompt but it still wouldnt let me uninstall it. Then after i turned it off the next time i turned it on it wouldnt start. Every time i try to start it it loads up to the start of the windows load screen where the green bars usually go across the box, but after loading the box and the windows logo it blue screens and goes back to the initial loading screen. Every time i run startup repair it says there is no problem, then restarts and does it all again. Every time i run system restore i run it back before i tried installing protools at all, and it says its successful but then the same blue screen happens at the same time. When i run system restore it only lets me run it on the OS: (system) drive and the other drives are able to be highlighted but i cant tick the boxes.

the thread title says it all: I'm looking for a lightweight bootable command prompt which supports ntfs drives and supports x64 command line tools. Something like Freedos x64 or command.com x64 (if they existed which unfortunately they don't).
So far, all I can do is to boot into Windows' own command shell, but this is far from being lightweight. Every Linux supports booting into a pure command line mode, so there must be something similar for Windows with x64 support. Basically, the recovery console would suffice if it allowed using external command line tools, but afaik this is not the case.

While re-installing Vista Home Premium recently, I seem to have lost the C-Prompt which I always found on the start menu under "system tools". Can anyone tell me how to get it back? I never had this happen before but I cannot seem to locate it.

Is there a way to bypass the security prompt under windows vista? Every time when I run the setup.exe I got a security prompt asking if I want to proceed further. I need to develop an application that will run a silent update in the background, and therefore I need to bypass the prompt to ensure the setup process will be executed without interruption. I have done quite a few research and couldn't find a solution to work around,

For power users Command Prompt is where you go to get work done quickly and efficiently. If you spend a lot of time using Command Prompt, why not customize the appearance and operation to your preferences? There are actually a few Command Prompt customizations that will make it more useful and good looking.
Just follow these steps to customize your Command Prompt:
Click on the Start Button and key in Command Prompt and hit Enter.
Once Command Prompt has started, right click on the top left icon in the menu bar and select Defaults. Alternatively you can select Properties if you want to have different settings for different Command Prompt shortcuts.
You will now see the four tabs of options to customize. The sections that I always work with are Font, Layout and Colors. To get started, click on the Font tab. Here you will be able to change the font and size used. If you would like a micro prompt as shown below, select Raster Fonts and size 4x6.
On the Layout tab you can specify the size and location of the window as well as the buffer. I usually only change the Screen Buffer Height setting. This controls how many previous command lines are saved and can be scrolled back up through. Increasing this value is useful if you are looking at a large directory with more than 300 files. I always increase the Height value to the max which is 9999.
The Color tab is where you get to have the most fun changing the look of your Command Prompt. Just select what you want to change the color for and then change the color.
Back on the Options tab I recommend turning on Quick Edit Mode. This allows you to easily highlight text without having to go to Edit -> Mark and copy it by just right clicking. Then you can paste it by simply right clicking once more....

Upon starting my computer I'm getting error 0xc0000428, ntoskrnl.exe is missing verified signature or something like that.
I am unable to use the startup repair from the recovery disc - I get an error called StartuprepairV2. I can not use system restore, and using cmd to copy the file from the DVD to my hard drive does not work (the file is still missing the digital signature). Bootrec doesn't fix the problem.
I have read somewhere that if startup repair does not work, you can update your vista version as a workaround. However I can not upgrade unless I delete SP1 first, but I don't know how to do that when I can't start windows.
Is there a way I can remove SP1 using command prompt ran from the recovery DVD? Or any other solution anyone can think of? (except for doing a clean install)

What is the administrator command prompt for 'defrag.exe' in 'cmd'? I am being asked when trying to open defrag.exe in cmd. It seems windows defrag was hijacked by DiskeeperLite, a downloaded program I thought was free, but turned out to be a mistake. When I want to run defrag now, I am asked to reinstall it via add or remove programs, which is not available in my Vista Home Premium, SP2, 32 bit. Is there a way to recover it? If not, that's not all bad, because I have 'Defraggler', which works quite nicely.

Got a question here: If Password protected sharing is off in Networking and Sharing Center in Vista...
why am I still getting a login prompt on my WinXP computer?
My network map:
The dashed line is a wireless connection; the solid line is a wired connection. "Nnet" is the wireless router. The switch is the hub which is a part of the wireless router. Michael-PC is Vista, and mdoccomputer is WinXP.

Here are a few tips that will help you become a Command Prompt Pro:
Turn on Quick Edit Mode. This will allow you to easily select, copy and paste all with just your mouse and a right click. Details Here
When typing in a file or folder name, type in part of the name and then hit the TAB key to bring up matches. Use SHIFT +TAB to go the other direction.
When searching for a file, type in dir part_of_filename* to look for the file in the folder. To search sub directories as well, append the /s flag as well. Example: dir exp* /s
Use the up arrow to go back over past commands. Alternatively you can hit F7 and go directly to the command ......

I'm sure you are familiar with the traditional way to kill or end a process in Windows using Task Manager. This method is effective but not nearly as fun as killing a process in Command Prompt. Additionally, killing processes in Command Prompt provides much more control and the ability to end multiple processes at once....

I have created a second partition on my primary C: drive.
I am currently using XP Professional SP-2.
Partition was created to install Vista Ultimate.
When I added partition to my primary drtive (C) it assigned drive letter designatioin of J: as letters D E F G H I were assigned to DVD burners and other hard drives both internal and USB Vista will be installed to J: as noted.
Will programs already installed - Office 2007, Nero, Adobe, ITunes etc. need to be installed to Vista partition or can I access them on my first (XP) partition?

I want your opinion. I need to reformat and reinstall vista. A friend who insists he is an expert told me to partition HD and put the vista operating system on one drive and install and have everything else on another drive. The reason he said is if I need to reinstall vista I do not have to reinstall everything else like I am doing now. I am skeptical. (Definitely do not want this guy touching my computer.)
Questions:
1. Assume I figure out and do this install configuration correctly. Can I actually reinstall Vista later if needed without causing trouble with my apps on the other drive (partition?)?
2. I use Vista Windows Mail as my email client. Does using Windows Mail make this configuration irrelevant?
3. How easy or difficult to do this? When does "The law of diminishing returns" start to apply? Will there be sufficient benefit for the amount of work invested configuring this way?

I have seen a couple of threads talking about similar topics but none of them provided a solution. My vista 64 home premium worked fine until last week. All applications started without problems and I was happy. One day, I tried to click on some recently launched applications (such as Firefox which is my default internet browser) but this time, it didn't launch When double-clicking, nothing was happening...
I tried with many other applications, even the Windows Vista ones such as media player and... the same... VLC media player, Firefox, Avira (my antivirus), IE 32 bits,... nothing launches! The only apps apparently not impacted are IE7 64bit, Notepad and Comodo (firewall). Both Windows Defender and Firewall are up and running but nothing happens when I deactivate Comodo and Windows defender/firewall. Still the same. I don't know if this is related to a previous update installation (it's on automatic) but I can't make use of my laptop in such conditions.

I have had a major problem for a while now with my fujitsu siemens laptop, I can use it for about 1 week or so and the laptop will run very slow and will not allow me to access any applications, and my computer acctually crashes now, And yes I have had that annoying blue screen. I have no choice but to wipe the hard drive fully, then re-install windows vista 32bit via the Fujitsu Siemens Recovery Console, I will say I never shut my computer down, I only ever put it on hibernate because I hate waiting for it to boot up, And I do know that the hibernate feature can affect the hard drive, but I can not see why I have this problem,

My old desktop is dying so I ordered this new HP tower to replace it. It seems it has a Phenom x4 processor, 4GB RAM and 640GB disk. Delivery is expected in a day or so. Re-reading the spec just now I am horrified to discover it will be pre-loaded with a 64bit OS. But I don't have any 64 bit applications. Use mainly MS Office, WMC, photoshop elements, CorelDraw and a finance package. Although I have a newish LCD monitor my printers and router predate VISTA. Reading the various problems with 64 bit on these forums I am frankly scared. I can't afford a learning curve and non-functionality. What do you advise that I do? Can I down-grade to 32 bit before I start to load applications? Or are the problems with 64 bit over-stated? I know the box is over-spec for what I do but I bought what was in-stock and at a reasonable price.
