Speech - Does Doc Scanning Really Improve Accuracy?
Feb 25, 2009
Does WSR (Vista Speech) provide a way of selecting _which_ documents to scan in order to improve speech recognition?
Near as I can determine, it does not seem to matter at allwhether my Vista Document folder is empty, or chock-full of text documents, as far as speech recognition accuracy
is concerned.
I _did_ check-mark the box that allows user documents to be read, but it does not seem to have any effect one way or the other.

Does Vista Speech have a so-called "accuracy slider" similar to the one in Dragon NaturallySpeaking?

How fast can a modern speech recognition app' translate speech into text with no mistakes?In my case, 384 wpm, because that is the very fastest that I can speak, and still have another human understand what I am saying. Neither my hardware nor my software limited me, only the rate at which I talked limited me. My computer is a run of the mill model that has a 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo CPU. Ram is 4 GB. OS is Vista Ultimate, with all the patches............................

I can't seem to find the speed vs accuracy control
on Vista Speech. (WSR)
Does such a control exist?
If so, is the accuracy affected if I adjust it for
maximum speed?

You try to copy a folder. It says, not necessarily at the beginning, "Do you want to merge these folders?" It should check for mergeable folders at the start of the transfer. About five minutes later, when it comes to a duplicate file, it says "Do you want to replace $File1 with $File2?" Again, it should check for ALL of these criteria before moving/copying anything, right at the beginning. I usually copy a multi-GB folder and leave for a while after clicking "Yes to all" on a prompt. I come back later to find that my files have not yet copied and there is yet another prompt. In conclusion, when I move a file, it will make the "done" sound, but then wait at the end of the loading bar for a few seconds. MS, please hear my cries and fix this. Remember to vote for this suggestion if you agree................

I don't understand how my "graphics" can have a score of 3.4 when the gaming graphics is 4.6...(I have a Nvidia 9300 GS 512Mb). How can I improve this score? I already have the latest driver for the

I'm running Vista Home Premium SPA, 2 GB RAM, Firefox, Spyware Doctor, MBAM, SAS and CCleaner, Office 2007. I also have Spyware doctor installed on a Windows 7 laptop. Can anyone tell me (or redirect me) if my Spyware Doctor scanner (or any other scheduled scanner) runs when the computer is either sleeping or is in hibernate mode?
My Spyware Doctor history file suggest that it's been several weeks since the last scheduled scan, yet the scanner scheduler is set to run every night. We close the laptop cover each night and I'm not sure if closing the cover stops the scheduled scan from running.

Do you have old programs that have slow disk performance on Windows Vista or Windows 7? If so, you can squeeze a little more performance out of your hard disk by enabling what I call compatibility mode for your file system. This speeds up the performance of your hard disk by changing how write caching works. However, if your computer is not connected to a battery backup and you loose power you have a increased risk for data loss or corruption. If you have a laptop your chances are data loss or corruption are dramatically less since your laptop battery will kick on if your power source is lost. Let's get started: ....

Someone has suggested a possible 'cure' for the many Win Mail probs I am experiencing would be for me to:-
1, Uninstall my McaFee
2. Then install another anti-virus prog ("AVG") disabling "just the part that scans email".
Sorry if I am being dumb but surely that would result in my leaving myself wide open to even more probs (i.e. importing viruses)?

1) My brother plugged in a pen drive in my laptop which contained viruses at that time i had norton internet security 11.0 which hang during scanning the usb drive.
2)the virus was transfered anyhow without opening any file in my laptop then i manually deleted unrecognized files and folders including desktop.ini this i think was main virus i know its a config file but there was 100 of this files.
3)everytime whether i insert a blank cd,dvd or data cd dvd it always showed me that files ready to be written on disk and the file was hidden guess what was it it was DESKTOP.INI and 3 days before i burn a mp3 cd using roxio media creator and since then my dvd drive has gone... it automatically ejects when i insert blank or data cd dvd and the msg is given to me that "there is no disk into drive please insert cd"......

I was wondering if you know if there is a way to improve Vista's Video Preview on the Details Pane.
The problem I see is that Vista shows the very 1st second of video, while Windows 7 shows the 4th. That's why many of the video previews on the details pane show a black screen on vista instead of actual video.

Microsoft’s Windows Sysinternals group has released a new virtual desktop utility called Desktops. If you have used virtual desktops on *nix or spaces on OS X you will feel right at home with Sysinternals Desktops.
For those of you that are new to virtual desktops, they are a great way to organizing your work and help you multi-task better.
Running Sysinternals Desktops is like having 4 monitors with 4 different desktops that you can have different windows or applications open on. You can easily switch between the desktops with your mouse or shortcut keys. I like to break up my tasks on different desktops. For example, I have Outlook open on virtual desktop 1 and my web developer apps like Dreamweaver and Photoshop open on desktop 2. When I am switching between different tasks I can just switch my current desktop view instead of minimizing and maximizing windows. This allows me to quickly switch between tasks without losing my window locations and setups.
After you download Sysinternals Desktops and run it you will see a new icon in the system tray that looks like 4 blocks. If you click on the icon you will see a preview of what you have open on each desktop....

On my PC the longest part of the sync process in iTunes with my iPhone or iPad is the device backup. Taking up to an hour at times I can live without a backup. Especially since I jailbreak my devices which makes ever restoring a backup after an OS upgrade a bad idea.
There are two methods to disable the device backup feature. First, I'm going to show you the manual tweak....

The problem is my PC will start, brings up the scanning Microsoft bar thingy then goes blank.
I have tried a System Restore to various different dates - no joy.
I have run Startup Repair (numerous times!) and get the following:- Windows cannot repair this computer automatically

In the Diagnosis and Repair Details it says
A recent driver installation or upgrade may be preventing the system from starting.
Repair Action: System Restore
Result Cancelled
Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code 0 0x2
I have run the System Restore Function to the oldest stored point, before a HP update which is the only update that I can see on there.
It will start quite happily in safe mode, I did the msconfig thing and turned off all the bits in as per another thread and all the start up stuff but the problem was still there. I am now well and truly out of my comfort zone.

I have a problem with my PC (vista). It just freezes randomly while I am working on it. It also freezes during the Antivirus scanning (avast), windows defender scanning and windows update. I cannot do anything except turn it of manually (ON/OFF). It also freezes when I insert a usb drive, and recently is making strange sounds (beebs,toot) as some creatures are living inside it. (It also freezes in safe mood). Moreover, a blue screen appeared morethan once and I don't know if the problem is due to a virus or an error in the system.

I have Windows Defender as an active part of my Laptop Security, and have it set to install updated Definitions automatically. This is run in conjunction with avast! v4.8 Home Edition - Free Anti-Virus, and with regular checks using Spybot Search and Destroy v1.6.2.46 - both kept right up to date. Regardless of the fact that at Windows Defender>Tools>Options, I have these settings, Windows Defender never automatically completes the set task, and I am sometimes reminded that a scan has not been done for 2-3 days, and then need to complete the job manually. The Laptop is always ON at this time, and I fail to see a reason why Windows Defender should fail to activate the set scan. It's a minor nuisance, but a nuisance all the same.

I just got a new HP Pavillion Elite m9040n computer, am hooked up to HP 2610 All in one printer, and cannot scan since I am now using Vista Home Premium. Have all the upgrades to the HP all in one, driver, etc. If I can't scan, will there be a service package 2 coming out since it seems Vista and my scanner are not compatible?

I've just started to use readyboost by pushing a 4GB usb stick into the port and configuring it to 'Improve system performance'. I can see its little light flashing, so I assume it is working. Is there anyway of measuring how much it is improving (or not) system performance. I have 2 Gb ram.

I run Windows Vista Home Premium (32). I've used my HP Photosmart C4280 printer for about 2 years, worked fine for the most part. Lately I started having problems, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver & software (got the latest versions from HP download site). Since reinstall, my scanner isn't working. Whether I press the "Scan" button on the unit, or I select "Scan picture" or "Scan document" from the HP Solution Center, an error pops up: "An error occurred communicating with the scanning device. Please ensure that the printing device is properly connected and try again".
Also, I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers/software several times, cleaned temporary files and registry, still the problem persists. Having said that, the printing/copying works fine, so I know that the printer is properly connected. BTW, tried connecting the same printer to a friend's PC running Windows XP and it scans with no problem, so the issue must have something to do with HP interacting (non-interacting) with Vista.

I have two labtops, one (gateway) with Vista and one (compaq) with XP. Each one runs on a Netgear router and for the first few months I had the Gateway which I bought last December there were no problems. Around August I could get to the start page on Internet Explorer but when trying to get to another website my page loaded half way slowly on my usually fast connection then stopped, no error message no internet conection problem screen, just kept loading but couldn't load any farther. I've tried everything, updating Vista and McAfee, resetting Internet Explorer, deleting cookies and favorites as well as other internet files, scanning for spyware, othning works. Details: 2006 Gateway M-6816 model with Vista Home Premium 32-bit, wireless connection, Netgear router provided by Comcast, Internet Explorer 7.

I am concerned that Microsoft Security Essentials [MSE] is not performing as it should, because it doesn't appear to be activating and running a scan as scheduled under Settings.
If I open MSE and choose to click on the Scan Now button to carry out a Manual Scan on demand, then three events are clearly visible in 'real time' -
There is activity on the progress bar of the window that opens, and files being scanned are clearly seen. The MSE Icon in the Notification Tray shows rotational movement indicating that a scan is in progress. and, At the end, a summarised report window opens. Example here -
this shows how many items were scanned, and reports on the 'threats' status.
I have tried to verify my claim above, by carrying out a number of 'tests', primarily to try and determine if User scheduled scan settings, are actually initiating the automatic update and scan by MSE.
The scheduled 'test' scan times have come and gone, without any visual evidence to show that MSE has automatically activated and conducted the scan, as set by User settings. None of the following show any evidence of a scan either starting, being 'in progress', or ever being carried out;
The MSE Icon does not activate. There is no post-scan report [as shown above from the manual scan]. and, A check of Windows Update, shows that no further Updated Definitions for MSE, have been added to Update History. I am beginning to suspect that because I use Firefox as my default browser, somehow this may disable or immobilise the automatic scheduled scan function of MSE. I also wonder how many other Users are experiencing the same difficulties.

I have been online for over 8 yrs and on my XP i refused to use your server. Outlook and now i am finding that with my new Vista some things i am forced to use you for. like scanning pictures to send to others and if you dont have the right info input; you will be advised of a lot of error remarks...As long as you have been around; i think you should make your server more friendly user for people that are not pro's or experts..

"I think the most disappointing thing for me is that part of me wants to like Vista, because there are a lot of interesting APIs and kernel features that really do improve system performance and make it easier to write for Windows" Many of them even work on older computers, and I doubt these features are why Vista is bloated. That is why I suggested trimming down Vista once.

I have tried to find an update to my BIOS (Phoenix Trustedcore Ver. R01-B0F), but it seems almost impossible to find! I have tried at Phoenix' homepage, but they redirect me to DriverAgent that is a driver scanning program and that costs money. It must be possible to find the update elsewhere.
