Multiple Inboxes: Can't Find Any Options Under Tools/Accounts
Sep 18, 2009In Outlook Express, I was able to have different inboxes under different folders for multiple email accounts. For example, I want my yahoo.com emails and sbcglobal.net emails placed into different inboxes. I can't find any options under Tools/Accounts to specify this, and when I create a new folder, my only choice of where to place the new folder is under Local Folder.

May 23, 2008My machine keeps dropping the internet after an hour or so of use online. It normally requires me to restart the laptop to get the internet to function again. What is strange is that it still sees my network name but does not allow me to reconnect to it when the internet drops. I went to device manager and disabled and re-enabled the wireless and it brought it back to life. What could be causing this, and is there a fix for it? My dads laptop with vista doesnt have this problem. I have already tried turning off the power save feature on the wireless and also unchecked Qos, ipv6, and both link-layer topology in the wireless network connection properties. Also, I just did a fresh install of Vista to see if it helps and no dice. Also updated all the windows updates, even to SP1 and still no dice.

Digidesigns M-box 2 And Pro Tools!?
Mar 9, 2008Lately I bought a new nice laptop with a strong cpu and lots of ram. The reason was, that a wanted to use it for both gaming, programming, designing and recording music.
This other day, I finaly had enough saved up for buying the M-Box 2 with Pro Tools software. At this point, I realised, for my big dissapointment and confusement, that it wasn't supported for my Vista system?
I learned, that Digidesign doesn't support Vista Home Basic, and overall doens't support 64 bit systems!? Ok, maybe this is Digidesign's problem, but then again - if I had known this before I bought my laptop, I would surely have bought a mac instead, so at that time it gets your problem.
My question is therefore: Why is M-Box 2 and Pro Tools not supported for x64 Vista systems, and why only a couple of x32 systems? This is simply not good enough, and I really must underline my dissapointment in this case.

May 20, 2008It reads in part "Ironically, the new operating system has been hailed by
Microsoft as the most secure version of Windows to date. However, recent
research conducted with statistics from over 1.4 million computers within
the ThreatFire community has shown that Windows Vista is more susceptible to
malware than the eight year old Windows 2000 operating system, and only 37%
more secure than Windows XP," Clausen said. "
DAEMON Tools Not Working
Apr 26, 2007I installed the 64 bit version of DAEMON Tools (the 32 bit version won't even install), and it gives me this error when I try to run it that says:
Initialization error 7.
This program requires at least Windows 2000 with SPTD 1.37 or higher.
Kernel debugger must be deactivated.
What are they talking about? I'm using Vista x64, and this is the Vista x64 version. What is the kernel debugger, and how do I deactivate it (and do I even want to)?

Mar 31, 2008I was poking around and noticed the following: Administrative Tools > Services (%SystemRoot%system32services.msc). However the following exists as well: (%SystemRoot%SysWOW64services.msc). So, is Vista 64 by default using the 32bit versions, or are the 64bit version in system32 as well? Note: When I run both neither have the "*32" which I'm assuming is a flag for 32bit support.

Performance Drop
Jan 20, 2010I've suddenly got a steep proformance drop that makes playing all my games pretty much impossible.
It usually states when I'm playing MW2. I turn on the game and have no performance issues. I enter a game and no performance issues. The game starts and no performance issues. It's only until around 5-10 minutes in that I experience the performance drop. When that happens, I can't do anything except to hope that the performance goes back up again. Reducing the resolution does not help. Changing my graphics card from quality based to proformance based does not help. Increasing my performance vs power saving does not help. I'm not running any other programs that are using up all the space (How would I? you can't even tab out of MW2 while you're playing it). Restarting the computer also does not help.
Worse still, this performance drop also affects everything else randomly as well.
I really don't know what I can do.
This has happened before, but not for this long.
Cannot Drag And Drop
Jan 24, 2010I have an Acer Extensa 5430 Laptop running Windows Vista 32 bit.

Is there a setting somewhere that I can change so that it's moving the file instead of copying?
View 8 Replies View RelatedDrop In The RAM Rating?
Nov 30, 2007I kept BSOD'ing due to the patch required to use 4gb of ram to use/install vista (seriously, wtf?). I got my machine up and running. I went from vista hp x86 to hp x64. So my question is this (little backstory): Way back when (3 days agho) I had this setup.My ram would get a rating of 5.6, 5.9 when overclocked. I changed out my ram for g-skill 2x4gb sticks (5-5-5-15), but when one was defective i put my old patriot ram back in (along with a NEW asus-p5ne mobo since my other one died), reinstalled vista x86 and the ram suddenly now gets rated as a 5.1 Fast forward to today. With the 2 gb of RAM (the same 2 sticks that got a 5.6). get rated at a 5.1 again in vista x64. when i added the additional 2gb, i get a 5.3. Now before anyone asks, YES I: changed the timings in the bios to 4-4-4-12 and adjusted the memory to proper voltage (2.2). So FINALLY the question is this --- what would cause a drop in the RAM rating? I know its NOT the motherboard since it got hte same rating on both my p5ne-sli and this new abit board.

Oct 17, 2009I have a sound trigger for the 'Open program' event in Vista Basic sp2 x32 When my computer is idle and I "here" a program open the only thing I have to go by is the time it occurred. If I want to go to Event Viewer in Administrative Tools and see what this event was that triggered the event sound I'm overwhelmed with a bunch of categories and sub-categories. In order to find what opened at the specific time I need to check each category and sub-category. That is a real pain in the ass. I find no search capabilities in Event Viewer unless I've missed it. Is there some way of making a hunt for a specific time easier in Event Viewer? Or, is there some 3rd party software with the capability to sort all events by data and time??

View 9 Replies View RelatedCPU Usage And Drop Down Menu
Jul 24, 2009Okay just re-confirmed a solution to two simultaneous problems that I think will be helpful to folks. Soon after I got my Vista x64 pc I started noticing huge constant CPU usage spikes attributed to dcomlaunch.
Turned out it was my ATI video card's HDMI audio driver. Go to device manager, expand sound, video and game controllers, and disable "ATI HDMI Audio". Problem solved instantly. My CPU usage dropped from ~30-40% constant use to <5% average.
Fast-forward 6 months after I upgrade to sp2. I notice that in PhotoShop and a couple other apps that use old-school file open/save dialog boxes, I can't choose a new file location from the "Look in:" drop-down menu at the top of the box. Every time I click it, the menu opens and then immediately closes again. Infuriating! A couple days later I notice my CPU has been working overtime too. Could it be the ATI HDMI Audio device is active again?
Yup, there it was active again. And this time I see there are (2) of these devices (I have 2 ati cards) and my CPU usage was up to >60% average! (2 x 30%). Insane. Again, I disable and usage drops back to nearly 0. Yay!
Amazingly, this ALSO SOLVED the problem with the file open / file save drop down menus. I re-enabled the ATI devices to test and confirmed that this was the cause of both the CPU usage AND the odd problem with the pop-up menus closing instantly.
Exporting: How Drop Folders Into OE
Dec 11, 2009I need to export a portion of my Windows Mail folders from my vista desktop to a different compter which is running Outlook Express 6. Elsewhere on this ite I found how to move contacts over and that is done. The instructions for exporting the emails (and folders) that I found told here said: file/export/messages. I did that and came up with a folder that had inbox and sent folders, each with the appropriate subfolders. The instructions said to drop this into OE. How do I drop the folders into OE. I tried drag and drop into the email folder panel in OE and directly onto the inbox but got an error message saying this could not be done but offering to make a shortcut -- not what I wanted.
