I was running Atomic Alarm Clock on x86, but that does not seem to work, and I see by a thread in these forums, that Chameleon clock has issues too. So, can anyone suggest a customizable clock, one that can prompt the time servers much more frequently than the built in clock, that does run properly on x64?
Can't seem to get this app to work. D/L and installed properly [I feel] a few times from different sites and no luck. I am using Vista and was under the impression it would work OK.
I dont have windows vista dvd so i cannot reinstall from it. I had a back up but its completely useless. I have a oem key that was coming with the pc.windows update dont want to work anymore.
"Windows could not search for new updates" Errors found: Code 80070490 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
Curious thing is it sais i dont have any currently update installed in my pc anymore. Few days ago the list was full with updates and now I dont have any on the list. For make it worse now my system restore tells me that i dont have any system restore point so i cant restore to any point before i get all the errors and stuff.
1. Personalize window wont work -*right-click function* -a white window quickly opens and closes- 2. Control Panel icons don't seem to have those 'quick links' anymore but only just the icons themselves alone --if that makes sense.
Bought a Toshiba Satellite A100 from ebay with a cracked screen. I changed the screen yesterday, and the laptop worked well with no problems. Then today I decided to do a fresh installation of Vista because of all the previous owner had the hard drive in a bit of a mess. I installed using my normal Vista Anytime Upgrade disk and as soon as it finished installing I started getting all these messages like "Windows Modules installer has stopped working", "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working" and "TFncKy has stopped working". Things I've tried include reinstalling Vista from another disk. Using a different hard drive, changed the ram, installed all the proper drivers, installed vista updates (won't let me install SP1), staring at it menacingly & banging my head off the desk.
For some reason my Windows DVD Maker has ceased to work when it used to work perfectly. I am able to add files to burn but when I hit next and go to where I can change the settings before burning it says that "windows dvd player has stopped working and windows is checking to see if there is a solution to the problem" I then get a message box stating "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
This program used to work just fine but stopped working and I do not get a notification of what the problem is or a code or something from Windows. I've recently updated to SP1 using Vista on an Acer 5570 laptop. I've tried changing the speed and placing the video on my desktop instead of pulling from folders but that makes no difference. I've changed file extensions, downloaded other programs to convert files to different types thinking that's what was wrong. Nothing has worked. I can view just fine using Windows Media Player so I'm not sure why I can no longer burn using this program......
Can anyone explain this: 3219. The screenshot shows the folder view (in Windows Explorer), and a directory listing (in a Command Line window). Why is the Explorer window showing different filenames than the command line window? It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it soon.
i'm using vista x64 ultimate and having this issue for a long time, couldn't find a solution to fix it clearly.
Sometimes when i start Winamp, it just stops responding for few minutes and a message appears'' The program is not responding, if you wait for longer, it may respond etc..'' But even i'm not able to close it via Taskbar by Ending process or processes tree. Cannot get rid of it without changing the user or restarting the pc.
I am getting this error on start up ISASS.EXE application error then getting a black screen can move my mouse but nothig happens can't boot from safe mode/ last good config etc..
I'm trying to install under Vista Ultimate x64 one of those on-the-fly backup programs (Western Digital Backup Anwhere, or R4Yware Clonedir2), but they just won't run... I suspect this has sth to do with the .NET; I googled and saw a mention somewhere that under x64 systems, they require .NET 3.5. So I downloaded and installed. Net 3.5 - to no avail... In the Vista components, .NET 3.0 is still listed (while in the Program List in Control Panel, only the new 3.5 version is present). I don't think my installation actually changed anything in the system.
when running a game in vista (premium 64bit) i get this message: application ran out of memory when requesting 1048608 bytes. i have 4 gig of ram and dual 3870 graphics cards running in crossfire, so i know its not due to ram.
trying to run a MFC application which crashes as soon as I try and launch with the following:

Clean reinstall of Vista only two days ago, the program functioned correctly on the previous installation of Windows Vista. A friend connected via TeamViewer, and the program launched and functioned with no problems, its only when I attempt todo so.
Just discovered a bizarre application switcher from microsoft, somewhat similar to Apple's Expose.
Here's the screenshot ...
The thing came up when I clicked the mouse wheel. The mouse is Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. Microsoft software that came with the mouse is installed. Checked the mouse buttons config, and it says that clicking the wheel brings up the Flip 3D.
But, since I use the basic vista theme with Aero disabled (like it more this way), there is no Flip 3D on my machine. When I enable the Aero, clicking the mouse wheel brings up Flip 3D.
Anyone got any idea what is this thing?
Actually i quite like it, because it is fast as hell, way faster and more useful than other third party "expose on windows" third party solutions I tried some time before.
I was wondering how to bring up this thing from my keyboard, but win+tab does nothing. As for now, only clicking the mouse wheel works.
I've got a Sony VAIO with GeForce 7400Go. Doom 3 and my OpenGL programs run fine before Vista SP1 and crash at startup after SP1 update. I notice the nvidia driver installed is 2006/12/19, version 7.15.10.9754. Sony does not have any new driver on its website and Nvidia does not provide drivers for laptops. I'd like to know which is culprit of the break of my opengl apps, Vista SP1 or nvidia driver?
When my application(32bit) about to launch in Visat x64, it draws the border over my application and says "Not responding". This is not happening in Windows XP. Also the time period that taken by application differs from XP and Vista x64. Vista takes more time to load than Xp.
We have a new computer that came with Vista 64bit. We have Word 03 docs that we can't open and receive this error message: .doc is not a valid win32 application. What can we do to fix this so we can access our old documents? We have some of the same problems when trying to access files from the net that may be in Word format.
I have been looking for an app that will record streaming audio ( web radio stations) like these News/Talk Radio Programs Streaming on the Internet and this Phil Hendrie Streaming on the Internet I found a program today: Wavosaur free audio editor with VST and ASIO support too complicated
I have been using messer Messer - Memo Session Sound Recorderfor years on my XP machine but it won't work on my vista. My mic records all sound in the room even when I breathe/sniff
When i try to open a setting with a shield next to it it says C:Windowssystem32FirewallSettings.exe application not found can you tell me why this pops up?
I have a QUAD PC Q6660 with 4 cores. There is an application that will setup my Windows Vista 32bit to use all cores instead of only 1? in the system hardware vista see that i got 4 cores but im not sure its using all of them. I know that in linux there is such thing that called instance that can use all cores while working on the pc
I recently bought a system running Vista. My Gmail was running fine for a while, but here's the deal: If I have Gmail open in a tab, and it sits idle for awhile, the application appears to freeze. Not only does it freeze (blank screen when I activate the tab), but it "freezes" my whole IE7 (cannot access any other tabs, no tool bar functions, etc.) I have to abort my whole IE7 through task manager. I've started opening Gmail in a separate browser to avoid this, but I still freeze in that browser window and have to abort with Task manager. Anyone else having this problem? It only happens with Gmail, everything else works fine.
