Wireless Zero Configuration Still Not Fixed In SP1
Mar 23, 2008
This message is in regards to the Wireless Zero Configuration not being fixed in SP1. This is a serious issue for multiplayer gaming enthusiasts who play wirelessly. This system causes a lag spike in games that lasts between 1-3 seconds and reoccurs EVERY 60 SECONDS. This is unacceptable! This makes playing games over a wireless connection completely unbearable!
The problem goes like this. Every 60 seconds, via Wlan autoconfig (WZC), my computer (and ANY computer using Vista and wireless connection) attempts to find the best connection. During this time period, if you're doing something intensive with your connection such as playing a game, the connection spikes and causes an intermission between your game and the server you're playing on because your connection is being temporarily interrupted. There are no options to stop WZC from doing this. Manually disabling Wlan autoconfig causes you to be shut out from connecting to the internet at all........

I note that a common subject here is the problem of USB wireless mice not being recognized by computers. For what it's worth the following is my experience. This evening my 3 year old Logitech wireless mouse just stopped working, abruptly, and I started getting repeated messages of an unknown USB device even with nothing attached. I tried the mouse on two other computers...it worked fine. I tried a system restore from yesterday with no results. I followed the advice offered on other threads to delete USB ports and reboot...no go. Still weird behavior. I noted that one person with a similar problem turned off notebook and removed and reinstalled battery...whalla! It works. The mouse now functions and no more strange messages. I have Vista Home Premium 64 bit on a Sony Vaio notebook.

it's possible and economical to have wireless broadband without having a fixed land line connected because i'm sick of paying the line rental on a phone that i just about never use. I sometimes think we pay through the nose for communication that's not really up to speed in Australia.

But this thread it will be explained in depth, each step how to set up a wireless access points for laptops.

SP1 has NOT fixed a reported bug in Windows Mail. I am using Vista Home Premium now with SP1 but this also occurred. The bug is that, if an email is open in its own window then Windows Mail is shut down (leaving the email open) then the computer shut down, then, when the computer is rebooted, that email now appears in the Drafts folder as well as in its original folder

Ive recently got a gaming pc and installed Vista ultimate. Since then its been crashing after 10 to 15 min of gameplay. Anyway, My spec are Core 2 duo 3.0, 4gig of ram and a p5n32-e sli plus motherboard. To fix the "freezing", I had to remove a 2 gig of ram. Anyone else had to do this to fix vista from freezing?
Anyone know if SP1 or any update will fix Vista for computer with more than 2 gig of ram ? Ive downloaded the window update 929777 but it did not fix anything and im still running with 2gig of ram. Kinda sucks to have 2gig of ram laying on my desk.

Windows Vista/32 bit/Home Premium. I installed IE8, started getting "command failed to execute" when I tried to open an attachment in my Hotmail (old style not Live) on MSN Premium with MSN Explorer. They would open in Live. I like the old stuff because it's easier to use for me. I read the threads to uninstall IE8. I did and problem fixed. Go to microsoft.com, click on the support tab, click IE Solution Center, click How to uninstall IE8, click Microsoft Fix It.
If it goes to your Download Manager, run it fro there after it downloads. Restart and check as it tells you to see that it uninstalled. Hope this works for you also. You'd think Microsoft could put a package together that would work with their own systems.... I have another problem that no one seems to know how to fix, had a recommendation to go to Mozilla Firefox.

I have been searching for a way to get my Snipping tool back in my vistax64 system. It started with the common errors saying there is a problem and to restart and so on. I installed a Wacom Bamboo tablet on a Vista x86 laptop and a x64 Desktop both SP2. The laptop has had no issues and the x64 desktop ran the snipper fine for months afterwords but eventually lost the tool's functionality. So do not blame the Wacom in my case. I say this because I have read elsewhere it was a suspect cause.
After reading about some folks doing an Office 2007 Office diagnostics from the Outlook Help menu I tried it and it worked but there is a different behaivor. I have dual displays and before it went bad it would open up in one display but now it opens the selection area across both displays. That's OK with me, I just wanted to report.

i had a major issue w/ my sound, and finally just figured out what was causing the problem. i wanted to share this following information with any of you that might find themselves losing sleep, dumbfounded, and/or otherwise unable to find help elsewhere (i couldn't find anything on this particular issue!).
the issue: sound distortion, crackling, poping, and other abnormalities w/ sound.
let's break this down fast:
my system:
- windows vista premium home edition 64-bit (6.0, build 6001) service pack 1
- evga geforce gtx 260 over-clocked edition graphics card (drivers: 7.15.0011.8250)
- 640gb westren digital hard drive
- intel core i7 cpu 940mhz
- gigabyte ex58-ud4p (bios version: 6.00pg) motherboard
- soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio pci edition (driver version: 5.12.0001.2007)
background info:
i had a clean installation of windows vista (3rd installation after testing w/ another hard drive, and confirming my hardware wasn't causing my sound issues), all microsoft's recommended/critical updates installed, all motherboard drivers installed, and so forth. clean sparkling new system, sound was working great, and then as i was installing other programs .....the sound problem/issue returned (see above for details)
the resolution:
if you own a gigabyte motherboard (newer!), and have installed gigabyte's dynamic energy saver software, and have it enabled through bios + the program ....then this can cause issues w/ your sound!
immediately upon disabling the program's features (which i had previously manually enabled myself), all my sound distortion, crackling, and poping issues disappeared! gone! problem solved! once again all my music, videos, Internet.com videos, etc have returned to working/sounding flawless!
so, if you are out there, and facing similar issues with sound under the same circumstances/hardware i have, then check to see if that's what's causing it! i hope this helps others like myself!
who'd of thought that would be the issue behind a sound problem. this almost drove me insane! anyhow, good luck and happy computing everyone! *salute!*

My pc was configured in raid5 but I lost all the data. Since then I decided to go back to the classic drive C,D,E each by themselves. The point is that things are going slow / sometimes I try to access drive D with music and there is a significant latency in the hdd response. I can even hear the sleepy drive waking up. I might want to aim to high but here is what I dream to do.
1. I want to go back to a raid configuration in which all those hdd(i have 3x 500 sata) to work hard for me.
2. Find a way to add the fourth one in which to save important data. I case of crash to reinstall vista and all the soft without losing all my projects. I am doing video editing.
My motherboard has a sata external connector. What would you guys do with this configuration in order to set up a raid. Don t tell me trash it 'cause i won t. I paid more than 4000 bucks last year. Today might value less than 2000 ( hurts so bad). This is another reason I want to squeeze as much as possible from what I have.......

How can Vista (no router) be configured not to use TCP/IP as transport protocol for NetBIOS, SMB and RPC, thus leaving TCP/UDP ports 135,137-139 and 445 closed.The best to my understanding is that Seconfig works with WinXP only.

With Windows XP, when you ran msconfig, and rebooted, you got that box with the message about how your settings have changed, and at the bottom there was a checkbox that said something to the extent of "Do not show this message at startup".
With Vista, when you run msconfig and reboot, Windows Defender comes up and gives you a message something to the extent of "Some programs have been blocked, click here to see which programs or choose to unblock them".
But now there's no easy, evident way to not make that message seen at startup.

As youve seen from the title, its the access: local only error! I just built a rig this weekend, hours slaving over the damn beast! I cant connect to the internent, it says "access: local only", after doing a bit of googling i can see it must be a bit of a problem for vista? I can connect to the internet sometimes for small amonuts of time before im shut off! Im using a wierd connection straight into the router, have all drivers installed ect, other comps on the network can connect, just not mine I get a I am also getting "Cannot communicate with DNS server (ip)!! (Think its somthing todo with that!) I tired this Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers, but didnt seem to resolve the issue! I also tried disabling ipv6 and setting the DNS in ipv4 settings! Im am at my wits end!

Is there a way to grant an applicatoin the right to execute now and forever more? An app that I use 3,4,10,15 times a day triggers an UAC prompt. I understand that the app should be written in a different manner so that it does not need Admin rights. Until it is re-written, I do not want to be prompted __EVERY__ time i launch it. Is this possible?
Since I think I already know the answer (but I am wrong far more than I would like to admit which is why i am posting), Why not? and to answer the first 3 arguments against:
1) I don't care that the app should be written differently. It is not written differently now, and I need to run it now.
2) It's not really a security hole to whitelist an app(s) - UAC is still running. Firewall is still running. User is still a least priveledge account, etc.
3) i haven't thought far enough to have 3 counter arguments.
Can someone explain to MS the value in grannular configuration? 'Configure UAC' should have a few more options than Turn On / Off.

I am trying to back up the configuration of a Cisco switch. I am using TFTP. After accessing the switch I try to ping and telnet to my Vista Business PC. I can't do either. I have Windows Defender turned off and I have shut down my Symantec Endpoint Protection. Under Windows features I have Simple TCP/IP services, Telnet Client and Telnet Server turned on. I also have TFTP client turned on. What might be stopping me from accessing my PC??

This problem happened after I installed Vista SP1. Here's my setup: Vista Ultimate 32bit with SP1 USB Microsoft Trackball Explorer (directly connected - does not go through a hub) I used the Microsoft IntelliPoint software (version 6.1) to map the keys differently than the default settings. Before SP1 this worked fine. After SP1 the trackball still works but my custom settings are lost. So I opened up the Microsoft IntelliPoint software and was presented with the following dialog: "Some mouse settings might not work until you connect a Microsoft mouse to a USB port on your computer or set up a Microsoft mouse that uses Bluetooth technology."
Next step was to Google for answers. There were several suggestions, so I started trying them:
1) Unplug and replug the USB Trackball - FAILED
2) Remove the USB Trackball from the device manager, unplug and replug it (so the OS sees it again) - FAILED
3) Remove the USB Trackball from the device manager, reboot the computer - FAILED
4) Remove Microsoft's IntelliPoint software - FAILED, it starts to remove the software but then fails with the following error: "Setup Error, Setup was interrupted before Microsoft IntelliPoint software could be completely installed. To complete installation at another time, run setup again." This is a bit strange since I was removing the software. Oh well............
