This function is just driving me nuts, so is there any way to disable the smartselect/highlight stuff like when you click on some text hold down the left mousebutton and drag the mouse to mark a potion of the text. Instead of just highlighting it character by character it auto marks who words and stuff instead, really annoying.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell D630 with a built in smart card reader and I have been trying to use ACS' ACOS5 smart card for authentication, which I have had zero success. So I went out and bought ACS' CryptoMate USB token and client in order to get two-factor authentication working on Vista Enterprise and guess what? It doesn't work. Here's what I have: At the Vista logon screen, the smart card icon has the following error: "The card requires drivers that are not present on the system. Please try another card".
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just want to share with you my thoughts about smart card authentication implementation in Vista. I know that smart card logon, also known as strong authentication or two- actor authentication, can be performed on a machine that is connected to a domain. And in Vista SP1 it's been added the support for biometric factor authentication so that, with the appropriate security tokens, strong three-factor authentication can be performed through Kerberos on machines connected to a domain.
Said that I really can't understand why Microsoft doesn't give a standard option, included natively in her oss, to enable strong authentication in stand alone machines that are not connected to a domain. I try to explain in details what I mean. It happens often, for security reasons, that companies have stand alone pcs not connected to the internet and to the company domain. From my point of view achieving a strong authentication on a stand alone machine is not so complicated; Let's think at this scenario:.................

View 9 Replies View RelatedYou want to install software using Ubuntu? Synaptic is a graphical front-end to apt, the package management system in Ubuntu. It combines the point-and-click simplicity of the graphical user interface with the power of the apt-get command line tool. With windows, insert the CD or DVD and it autostarts. If not, you can click SETUP on the media. then click next and it installs. No command lines. No wonder why 99.999999% of the users reject Ubuntu as garbage. It is garbage.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have to set up a smart card reader on Vista Home Premium 64 bit for a user, but cannot get it to be recognized. It is an SCR331, about 6 years old. I have downloaded Vista64 drivers from SCMMicro but though the card reader will work on an XP machine, it will not work on Vist64. When I install it, or reboot and it detects new hardware, and tell it where I downloaded the drivers it says this folder does not contain the necessary drivers. If I look at the 32bit drivers online it says there is a firmware upgrade but I do not want to apply that and have the reader stop working on the XP machine as well.

These are from my old system and I just want them installed so I can copy across stuff. I have done this in XP with no problem but I cannot seem to get this system to see them. If they do not show up in Bios does this mean Vista wont see them? I have tried varies jumper settings but my Bios just wont see either of my drives. My new system has a Sata HD installed so I am just connecting my slave IDE HD to the empty IDE connector on the Mobo.

I read an article last week that the number one thing to do to protect your computer from malware is to run it in a "user" account. Equal to that is simply good behavior or sites on internet. Also to keep everything updated. I have always done these things. I run the latest Avast for my antivirus protection. I also have windows defender protection on and PC Tools Firewall Plus for firewall. Tonight I looked at drudge report and clicked on a link to a British newspaper. The article wasn't what I thought it was and it looked like a tabloid (Sun? closed so quick don't remember) and tabloid is not news so I quickly closed that window and went on to next links. My computer went slow after that. Just did not seem right. Restarted in safe mode and ran cCleaner computer clean and registry clean in both user and admin. Restarted and all my appearance settings are different. Runs slow or different. I remembered Windows Defender updated yesterday and the update always does a restore point. Tried to run System restore to restore to yesterday settings. After giving admin permission I saw the wait circle just disappear. It was like vista just ignored or canceled the start up of system restore. Every time I retried System restore it did the same thing or crashed my computer.
This smells like a virus. I go to main stream web sites only, run computer with (default limited) user account (use admin only when I need to make certain changes which is rare), Avast updates automatically multiple times a day. With these settings and behavior I thought I was bulletproof. I even read that $10,000 hacking prize winner Dino Dai Zovi and Rich Mogull both said Vista more secure than Apple Mac. I am currently scanning whole computer with a-squared Free. I will then scan with Avast, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, and again with Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, in that order. What do I do if all these scans find nothing?
What do I do now? I never had a virus or malware before. Is it like the mumps, you want to get it as a child and not an adult? Does antivirus or antimalware remove bad stuff or does it just tell me I am infected and I need to reformat and rebuild system
I am about to set up my new HP computer which has Vista Premium 64 bit and a 750 gig hard drive. With all the mp3's, lossless audio and avi's I have on various external hard drives, 750 gigs isn't really "that big" anymore! So I was on the phone with a friend last night and he said "I have to delete a bunch of stuff from my hard drive because my computer geek friend told me I should never have my drive more than 50% full." I said, "Well, surely nowadays with big hard drives that is no longer true. But I will ask."
How full can a 750gig hard drive be, before it causes sluggishness or other problems, using Vista Premium 64bit? Note: I am thinking of shrinking the C partition into various partitions: about 20gigs for a cd/dvd ripping area about 100gigs for Vista and programs and desktop working area" (C drive) about 400 gigs for mp3's and the rest for .avi movie files Is this a reasonable plan? And is it okay to shrink it and divide it after I'm already up and running with Vista, internet, etc.?

View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is probably a very simple question, transferring from xp to vista using easy transfer, over the years theres been a lot of stuff duplicated and deleted on my xp machine. I believe all these deleted copies and all the other deleted stuff stays on the computer, just not visible. Does esay transfer transfer all this deleted stuff as well,and if so is there anything special I should do to my xp machine to stop these copying. Don't want to fill the vista before i've used it with deleted stuff.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have bought a Vista x64 approximately one week ago. Actually I had no problem with the WinXP Professional however the Dx10 and the 64-bit issue caught me and here I am with my problems. I have Samsung 931nwplus monitor and my video card is Palit 9600 GT SONIC. The native resolution of my monitor is 1440x900. On Winxp I had no problems and was able to set the native resolution. However, after I installed Vista x64 I am not able to select the native resolution. I tried it from nvidia panel (custom resolution) power-strip and so on but I the max resolution I can select is 1280x1024. I have installed the final drivers of nvidia. However, I am not sure I have the latest drivers for my monitor. On the web page it says that the said driver is for vista but not sure if it is also ok for x64?
