X64 New Install: Slow Internet Connection In Normal Mode; Fast In Safe Mode

Oct 12, 2009

Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:

Installed all updates including SP2.
Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus.
Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i)
Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia
Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4
Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router.
I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........

OEM Re-Install, Outlook Hangs

Mar 31, 2008

I'm trying to get around a problem in Outlook (2007), whereby Outlook hangs for around ten minutes if you hit key or click the mouse whilst it is mid-stream of checking a POP3 mailbox. To this point, I've tried just about everything, recreating the Outlook profile, recreating the Windows profile, installed SP1, uninstalled SP1, installed other office hotfixes, uninstalled same hotfixes, installed Vista SP1, uninstalled Vista SP1, installed Vista hotfixes, uninstalled Vista hotfixes.

The next thing I want to do, short of a fresh clean install of Vista, is to do an inplace re-install of Vista. However, in the Home Premium stakes, all I have is an OEM disk, which is what the machine came with. Does anyone have any way this can be done? I want to try this as a last-resort fix, as it did work for me in resolving a problem with a different Outlook 2007 problem on a Vista Business machine, but I feel kind of stuck, and in a position where I now have to purchase a Home Premium Upgrade, just to get the disk. Seems a lot of expense to go to, just for a piece of plastic.

New Install And System Hangs

Mar 26, 2008

Made the dive to Vista 64 on a new build. It is on an Asus Maximus Extreme with 2 gig of RAM and an 8800 Ultra video card. I setup to WD raptors in RAID 0. verything with the install seemed to go without a hitch. The install is from a Vista Ultimate 64 builders pack. The install starts with no problems at all and it sees my raid array without installing any drivers. The install does the copy, expansion and so on without a hickup. It is after I enter a user name and password, date, etc and the system initiates into its "performance check" when it completely hangs. It never leaves the first splash screen of the performance check. I let it sit for over an hour and still no progress.............

Not Finishing Install: Says It Is "completing Installation" And Then It Just Hangs

Dec 27, 2008

I'm having some trouble doing a clean install of vista on my machine. I had already installed it once back in January of 2008, and was going to do a clean install here last night. I formatted my hard drive, and start the installation it will go through all of its steps until it states that it needs to restart. It restarts then goes to the part where it says it is "completing installation" and then it just hangs. Things I've tired:.........

Update Wont Install ,cant Use Safe Mode

Mar 18, 2009

Last week, I was unable to install Microsoft updates. They failed every time. I overcame this by doing a system restore to an earlier date before the previous updates. They then installed. However I was left with Microsoft Net framework 3.5 Service pack 1 which failed to install. I went to Microsoft download site and downloaded from there. The my troubles started, in that now on opening my machine it tries to configure these updates and says on screen "configuring 3 of 3" gets to 87% then closes automatically and restarts the process overagain. I tried to open in "safemode" but exactly the same thing happens. Is there anything I can do to stop this, or am I forced in to doing a restore to factory settings, or I note that I have another option of "last known good configuration (advanced)". As I am not advanced this causes me concern.

Difficult Issue: Audio In Safe Mode: How To Manually Install If Possible

Jun 29, 2009

Vista Home premium, SP2. HP Pavilion Notebook. Have to run in -SAFE mode with networking- for next week till new hard drive arrives.

I will then install it as my computer will not boot in normal mode. HP Warranty is replacing hard drive.

But as an aside, I can access my hard drive and copy files to my external HDD.

In the meantime, I wish to use the Internet to access audio via HULU or other sites.

How can I manually access my audio while in safe mode?

Compatibility

Apr 3, 2008

I've been using MS Windows since it's initial release years ago. Hard as it
may be to believe, there was a time when anything that ran on an earlier
version of Windows was guaranteed to run on the latest version. It's gotten
progressively worse over the years and now we have Vista, where anything
that ran on an earlier version is virtually guaranteed to go haywire.

If there's been some sort of improvement here, I fail to see it.

Xp Backward Compatibility

Mar 23, 2008

I recently purchased a new, loaded, Dell XPS laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate. As a systems developer and consultant, I frequently set my laptop up on a customer's network, expecting to browse those networks, and map network shares. With Windows Vista, I appears this utility has been taken away.

I recently downloaded and installed Vista SP-1, and the problem (deficiency)
persists. The only solutions I have found reccomend I should install LLTD on every XP machine with which I wish to establish network connections. This is impracticable because the general maintenance of those machines is not within
the scope of my work (nor always my control).................

Run Vista X64 Can Not Compatibility

Jan 9, 2009

I 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?

Software And Hardware Compatibility

Oct 11, 2007

Can anyone tell me if the old version 7 of Paint Shop Pro can still be used with Vista Premium? I don't need it often, but it seems a shame to have to pony up for a new program if it's not necessary.

Also, I have been unsuccessful in making my old, but perfectly functional, ScanJet 5300C work with Vista. Are there downloadable drivers available to accomplish this?

Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0 Compatibility W/ X64

Apr 7, 2007

I am currently having problems resizing pdf files when viewing them in acrobat reader 8.0. Basically, the window will resize, but the content that I have opened will not. I am using windows vista ultimate x64.I have installed the reader normally, and I have also tried installing it under xp service pack 2 compatibility as an administrator. Additionally, I have tried running the reader in normal compatibility mode and xp sp2 compatibility as an administrator. I have also tried the foxit reader 2.0, which resizes the content, but seems to require a lot of cpu to do so and doesn't display the content as clearly as adobe's reader.Any workarounds, or other pdf reader recommendations?

'Vista Compatibility' & KVM Switches Relevant?

Mar 23, 2008

I 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?

Age Of Empires: Rise Of Rome Compatibility

i'm trying to play multiplayer on this game through a home network. when i create a game i cant find it when i search through another vista running computer it doesn't appear. when i run 2 XP running computers (which are no longer with us), it works fine through those (using a wi-fi connection) and through vista i have tried Wi-fi and ethernet connection, but still no luck. i have minimized the game to unblock the windows firewall for the network accessing, but still no luck. i tried running the game in compatibility mode in both 98/ME and XP and still, again, no luck. i should probably add that a few months ago i tried running it through 1 XP PC and 1 Vista PC and it didn't work on there either.

How Disable Program Compatibility Assistant?

Apr 14, 2009

I'm using Vista Home Premiun SP1. After every startup, the Program Compatibility Assistant of Vista makes a window appear on the lower right corner (inside the system tray, near the time and volume icons) saying that the drivers of a certain program is not compatible with Vista. Actually, this certain program is running very nicely on my machine. So to prevent this annoying pop-up window from appearing, I just want to turn off or disable Vista's built-in Program Compatibility Assistant.

Can't Compatibility W/ASUS Motherboard P4R800-VM

Mar 23, 2008

I've used Vista (home basic) for a while now and there wasn't any serious compatibility issues with the motherboard. I reinstalled it a couple of weeks back, and ever since then, there's been an issue with shutting down the computer. Usually, if I select SHUT DOWN from the start menu, the computer doesn't shut down completely, but enters a sleepish/suspended mode.The red (busy/status) light doesn't flicker, but the fan and the green (power) light remains on. Also, I have a WD My Book (500Gb) connected, and usually it shuts itself down once the computer powers down. Now though, when the computer enters this "sleepyish" mode, the power light on the My Book switches from on to off every few seconds.

Oh and also, even before reinstalling Vista, I've never been able to WAKE the computer after putting it to sleep. It just becomes unresponsive to anything (mouse, keyboard - I've tried a lot of buttons) and I have to press the power button on the computer. The motherboard is P4R800-VM, manufactured by Asus. I'm using a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio sound card, and a nVidia GeForce 6200 A-LE graphics card. I don't think they've got any conflicting issues.
