Update Killed Streets And Trips
Apr 17, 2009
I am having trouble with Vista Ultimate (32 bit SP1) and MS Streets & Trips 2008 (S&T). After this week’s automatic up to Vista, S&T will no longer run. Invoking S&T yields this error, Your registry settings for this application were not copied correctly. To correct these settings, run Setup again for this application from the location where you originally installed it.” I did this and that did not correct the problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled S&T and that did not correct the problem. I then turned off “User Account Control” and I can now run S&T. When I turned User Account Control back on the problem returned. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can get S&T to run with User Account Control activated? Please note that ALL software on my computer is legitimate, legal and owned by me.

This got lost beneath the troll trash so I thought I'd repost.
I have a two year old OEM Vista Premium PC. I just installed a number of updates and when I restarted, the PC looks like Win95. In the Performance section I have it set to Best Apperance with every checkbox checked and those settings are ignored. Checking them one at a time doesn't do anything either. I tried going in via the desktop but found no aero settings. It seems the recent updates reset to the PC to Vista "Basic". I thought these setback problems were dealt with two years ago. (If MS didn't have this ridiculous
setback feature, this crap wouldn't happen to legit customers. Idiots!)

1) I hate the auto refresh feature in Vista much. I always use the list view in Explorer as it is the best way to show hundreds files or more. In the past, the files stays at the end of the list after I move / copy files to a directory untill I press F5. I can select and manipulate these files afterward easily. However, in Vista, the list refresh automatically after file move / copy so that all the files became sorted by name. I usually work with folders containing hundreds or thousands of files and I have a hard time re-selecting or manipulating those files again. Vista is really suck, anybody know of a registry key or other mean that disables the auto refresh feature?
2) In XP or earlier, the total file size and some other useful details are shown at the status bar at the bottom soon after I open a directory with the Windows Explorer. Hey, what's wrong with Vista? Where were those info gone?

I just got a new Dell Inspiron 530 (Intel Core2 Duo processor E8200) on Friday, with Windows Vista Home Premium on it. I spent the weekend setting up the PC and exploring Vista (it's the first time I've used it). Everything was working fine until Tuesday morning, when the automatic updates applied SP1. I left the PC on when I went to work as it was installing update 1 of 3 for SP1. When I got home, the PC said that Windows was unable to start as asked if I wanted it to try to repair itself. It tried that four times and said it could not repair the problem. One of the options it gave me was to restore to a previous point (pre SP1). I tried that option but Vista still won't start. I finally resorted to the last option it gave me, which was restoring to the factory setup as it was delivered to me (which reformats the hard drive). After completing this, Vista did start normally. However it immediately told me it had 14 updates to apply, after which I was back to the same problem of Vista not being able to start.
I made three hardware changes to the PC. I installed a second SATA hard drive, I installed a firewire/USB port card, and I installed an old PCI modem. The only reason for the modem is that we have a security system, and you have to use the modem to connect to it to make any program changes. Vista accepted the second hard drive and firewire card fine. It did need to download drivers for the modem, but then said it installed fine. As a last ditch effort (before being on the phone for hours with Dell), I plan to disconnect the second hard drive and remove the firewire and modem cards. Basically restoring the hardware to the way it left the factory. Then I will try restoring the Dell factory image for Vista and seeing if the SP1 update works. I know I could disable automatic updates so that SP1 does not get applied, but I think that will cause all kinds of future headaches. If this last effort doesn't work, and Dell can't help me out, I'll probably roll back to XP. I really don't want to do that, but I'm not going to put up with an unstable OS either.

I was installing the sp1 update and it was going fine until the restart point when there was an error and it froze, after restarting the computer it just flashes with the blue screen of death and reboots and so the cycle continues. I cant run safe mode or anything, I downloaded the Vista x64 boot disk as i didnt recieve and disk with my computer but when it boots of the disk after loading disk contents it blue screens me again. I know there is nothing wrong with the rest of my hardware as i have put in an old xp harddrive and everything runs fine. I know its not a problem with the boot disk because when i unplug my main hd the boot disk loads up as i presume it should but there is no sign of windows on my 2nd hdd so it cant do anything. I dont mind loosing any data on my main harddrive i just dont know how to re-format it as the boot disk won't work and i have no other vista disk.

I'm one of those users who has been using Vista with no problems ever since Microsoft gave out RTM copies to beta testers. However, as a writer, I've watched the media completely destroy the public opinion of Vista, leading many to stick with Windows XP or to look for alternatives, even before they had tried Vista. Even with SP1 out, many have not bothered trying Vista on recent hardware and therefore could not realize the fact that it really is worthy of being XP's successor. If I had to lay the blame on one party for Vista's poor public opinion, I wouldn't lay it on Microsoft, I wouldn't lay it on hardware companies incapable of producing good drivers, I wouldn't lay it on the fact that XP is so good, I would lay it on the media for blowing things out of proportions.
Yes, the problem is exaggeration (it's in this article's title too, in case you missed it); bloggers and journalists alike use their personal experiences to prove their point in their writing. The blame doesn't solely lie with us, as Vista was by no means perfect, but we did manage to amplify the problems beyond reason. And if the beta is anything to go by, Windows 7 is going to fly. This is, by far, the best beta operating system the software giant has ever released. The media has locked on to this, and is using exaggeration already, before Windows 7 is even ready for prime time. Full Story: What killed Vista will make Windows 7 fly

Ubuntu will do the same thing to Vista and Windows 7 (Vista SP3). The hilarious thing is that that Frank, Tweedlee Dee, and the nymshifter, Tweedlee Dum Dum, can't do anything about it but cry in their beer.

Upgraded from 7300se to 8600gts, and now using a DVI connection instead of VGA. Used to be able to play DVDs through Media Centre or WMP11, but now I recieve the error C00D1163 - that "there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card". I have the newest nVidia drivers, newest soundcard drivers. Any ideas - I'm using Vista Home Premium 32bit. Oh and DVDs play fine through PowerDVD or VLC, but I want to be able to use Media Centre because I have a remote - and also out of principal that I can't fix it!

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

As far as I can determine, this update (released 22Oct08) does not work, at least not with Windows Vista Home Premium. I had update 7 running, and got an update notification for Release 10 earlier today. Downloaded and installed the update, tried the Java test page, Firefox (both 3.0.3 and today's Minefield beta-test for Firefox 3.1) hung. Tried the update in IE7, that, too, hung.
Went to Control Panel, clicked on the Java icon, had some problems opening it; when it did finally open, I went into Advanced and found that Update 10 was not recognizing IE. Opened IE, redownloaded the off-line update, to see if that worked; answer is, no, it still did not recognize IE. Back to Java, found the off-line installed for Update 7, removed 10, reinstalled 7; Java works once again. In the midst of this aggravation, trying to figure out what the problem was, I did find one link to an article that said Update 10 had been delayed due to some unspecified problem. Seems to me that, at least for Vista Home Premium, there is still at least one unspecified problem with Update 10.

Microsoft Update was first released a few years ago for Windows XP and Server 2003 as a great way to update all of your Microsoft software installed on your PC. Not only would it update Windows, but it would also update Microsoft Office. Are you a Microsoft Outlook user? If so, Microsoft Update would even download updated junk mail signatures when they are released.
In Windows Vista the new Windows Update application is no longer web-based. Microsoft has built-in the old Microsoft Update functionality into the new interface but you need to turn it on before you can use it. Follow these steps to turn on updates for other Microsoft applications: ...

The last time an update was installed was in January..since the next time i was offered an update, Windows Update or any of the programs that use windows update fail to update. Also i can't download the updates manually..standalone msu installers also dont work.. windows defender, IE8 installations also fail to update. And unfortunately i have deleted the recent system restore checkpoints before i knew about this problem. Windows Update gives error 80070002, i have tried the "solution" to delete temp update files, and all other solutions i could find on the internet. Windows defender gives the same error.
The updates can be downloaded from windows update, but cannot be download (not even manually in .msu package) I also lost many shortcut files of MS Office (the icon turned white and they lost their target). Some shortcuts of 3rd party programs are also lost (which were supposed to be in c:windowsinstallerlabla I have Windows Vista Home Basic with SP1 (SP1 came with the ssytem when i bought it). This is very weird. I have no other choice than to reformat drive and use recovery disk.

It will just turn to blank screen with space at the upper left after if i will insert the installation disc.

I am running Office Home and Student 2007 and have just run a diagnostic which suggests that my installation is not up to date and that I go to the Microsoft Update site and download any available updates. When I do, I am asked to sign on with 'Microsoft Update'. The idea is, I think, to combine this Microsoft Update with my Windows Update and let Office updates come though along with updates for Vista, IE, etc. I have posted here before with issues concerning updates including a fiasco I had last November which involved Office updates and am wondering, since Office seems to be working well at the moment (I was bored so I did a diagnostic ) should I bother with this or just leave it? Does Office have security issues like IE and Vista?

I have it in Windows Update, but I wanted to ask you guys, is it worth it to do it? My computer is really only used for gaming and such, and I've heard it causes issues. Also, if I installed it to 4%, then clicked 'cancel' do the 4% of files get installed, or at least do they not actually come into effect unless it's completely installed?

New system, Vista Ultimate x64. Started with IE7, Update forced IE8 onto the system. 7 was fine, but 8 screwed some things up, and there is ONE thing left that I can't fix. Downgraded back to IE7, but the address bar is still missing, and I can't find a way to get it back.
