Nov 30, 2007Been having issues with my lap top recently so on the advice of a bod on here I decided to get a better fire wall than Zone Alarm free. I am now using the free trial version of Zone Alarm Security Suite and will buy it if it is any good. I ran a virus and spyware scan and the virus scan came back with nothing and the spyware had 3 items. I then ran my free version of adaware and this found 74 items!! Is it best to keep using both these products together, or should I just find something better than ZA? At a loss as to what is the best thing to use. Running Vista 32 bit.

Jan 9, 2009I want to run Vista x64, but heard about some compatibility issues with some programs and actually need it for the 8GB of memory. I know Vista x32 will only read 3 GB Memory. What I want to know is there that many programs that will not run on x64? Should I stay with x32? I only have a few older programs like Lock-on Modern Combat and Flight sim X and want to run COD 4 and WaW. Will I be ok with this set-up?

View 5 Replies View Related'Vista Compatibility' & KVM Switches Relevant?
Mar 23, 2008I am not sure if the issue of 'Vista compatibility' & KVM switches is a relevant one. (One KVM vendor I contacted claimed KVM's functioned independently regardless of the operating system). I would like some reassurance because:
1. I will soon be installing Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a new PC
2. I run two W2K PCs thru an old Belkin, PS/2, KVM switch ("OmniCube 4-Port") that has never been a problem but I'd like to replace it if it might become an issue with Vista.
3. The Microsoft Vista-ready hardware listing does not appear to include KVM switches
4. Belkin Tech Support has failed to reassure - their responses to my inquiries has been mixed & less than a clear 'yes' or 'no' (a Belkin tech agt.has indicated their USB models have Vista issues)
5. I did discover that zonenetusa.com posted a Vista-ready list for their components & they claim their model KVM3304 - a PS/2, 4-port KVM - is 'Vista-ready' - (That is reassuring but do I need it?)
can any Vista hardware guru advise if PS/2, KVM switches represent any relevant Vista 64-bit compatibility issues? If so, can you suggest what options I have to prepare for a relatively painless installation that will continue to maintain my KVM setup?
Blizzard Games Compatibility Windows Vista X64
Jan 5, 2009For all those detractors out there who believe Vista is rubbish for older games, and in particular Vista x64, I'd like to present some evidence to the contrary, in the form of a blast from the past. 1995 to be exact.I've recently re-aquired an original Diablo 1 (what can I say - I'm a Diablo fan), and figured because I was using Vista Ultimate x64, I'd have to run it in Windows XP under Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. However, when I got home from work this afternoon, I inserted the disk and allowed the autoplay to run.
The game installed without problems. Although I must mention that I changes the install path from "C:Program Files (x86)Diablo" to "C:GamesDiablo". And it played! To top it off, it even showed up in the Vista Games Explorer. This has surely got to be the oldest game I know of that has installed without any issues whatsoever onto Vista x64, and does not even need to have any compatibility mode settings manually changed! Here are two screenshots that shows the following information: That I am using Vista x64 Diablo 1 displays in the Game Explorer Diablo 1 runs without any Compatibility Mode settings! A view of the game in action, with a newly created character This is truly a testament to the compatibility of Windows Vista x64, and the quality of games produced by Blizzard!

Apr 13, 2008Why does a VPN connection setup with an XP computer so easy and it fails when I try to set up the connection with a VISTA Ultimate computer. Since Microsoft knows the default settings within XP to create the VPN connections why not have MS make available the necessary changes to the default settings in VISTA in order to make this connection work from VISTA. Have had to add an XP box at the office for on connection. And more money for MS software.

View 9 Replies View RelatedLong File Names In Vista Nothing Works
Feb 21, 2009I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit, and on one particular drive, I had backed up some files with extremely long names from a different system. The kind of stuff you find as temp files in the "Content.IE5" sub directory of "Temporary Internet Files."
Now, I'm trying to delete a parent directory where all these files are located. But Vista, in it's ultimate wisdom is giving me an error, indicating that it cannot delete these files becuse the overall path is too long - It suggested I move the files to a place with a "shorter path," but when I try, it won't let me do it for the same damned reason! The Source path is too long Nothing works.
Attempting to delete individual files, the parent directory, the "grand parent" directory all fail because Vista attempts to calculate/sum space and thus accesses each individual file, and fails because the "path is too long." When I try to rename individual files, it grays out the "rename" option. Is there any way I can either get rid of these files or bypass the "file length" warning so I can delete them? Formatting the drive is *not* an option. This is a SAN drive with lots of stuff on it and I'd never be able to off load it all.
Processor Power Management Works In Vista?
Mar 23, 2009After reading multiple articles on various site regarding how the processor power management works in Vista, I have yet to find a resolution to my current situation. I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit on my HP Pavilion tx 2110 with an AMD X2 Mobile Tech TL-62 2.1Ghz and 3gb of RAM. Whenever my laptop is unplugged from the wall and running on the battery, Vista seems to limit the processor frequency to 38% of the max (roughly 800mhz) no mater the power plan or processor load. While the computer is plugged in however, everything runs beautifully with the frequency at 100%.

View 6 Replies View RelatedNetwork/internet Connection Works Fine In XP But Not In Vista
Mar 23, 2008I have a fairly new desktop (8 months old) with windows xp. On another partition I installed Vista Business, then updated the chipset drivers for my system. The network adapter was not picked up so I installed it manually with the updated drivers from the manufacturer (integrated adapter) which seemed to work (it made a connection) but when I re-booted there was no network connection and the light on the card is not longer on. In the device manager it says the card is working properly. I tried reinstalling the adapter driver but to no avail. My network/internet connection works fine in XP. I'm suspecting it may be some sort of security issue or possibly something with the drivers although I contacted the manufacturer of the machine (Systemax) and they said they've had no reported problems with the drivers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDid Not Installed Xp Office Suite
Mar 2, 2009I still don't have a clear answer to my question(s). I get different answers depending who I speak to -- sometimes from the same company. It has become frustrating and time-consuming. I currently have an HP computer with Windows XP. I use Word 2002. I obtained this as separate software. It did not come installed on the computer. It was not the XP Office suite. Just Word 2002 (part of a Works package, I believe). So I have the Word 2002 CD. Also, all my saved documents on my computer are Word 2002 documents saved as Word 2002 documents. I am considering purchasing a new computer from Dell. It comes installed with Vista Home Premium. I inquired about having XP installed instead, but they charge an extra $120.00 to give you XP instead of Vista. Here are the questions that I can't seem to get a consensus/straightanswer for:
1. Can I install and use Word 2002 on Vista Home Premium, using my Word 2002 CD?
2. What happens to my saved Word 2002 documents? I am planning to use a flash drive to save and then transfer things from my old computer to the new one. When I transfer the Word 2002 saved documents, will I be able to open them in Vista Home Premium?
3. If Vista HP will NOT run Word 2002 and I need to purchase a new version of Word, how will I be able to open my saved Word 2002....
