View 7 Replies View RelatedSuperFetch Has Stopped Working.
Dec 4, 2008I understand what SuperFetch does. It monitors automatic updates, and processes and sends them to a lower priority queue in order to make your processes and work run faster (if I am not mistaken). My SuperFetch crashes when I update McAfee, or other programs. This then crashes my svchost.exe..... In fact.. this is the second computer I have recieved from Dell. The first (exact same) was crashing under a stop code of 0X0000001A and having issues with the svchost.exe. I exchanged it, and this computer aswell is having similar issues (although not many unexpected crashes). This computer has only crashed for explained reasons (graphic drivers out of date, etc.) All reasons have been fixed, and haven't had a crash since. If there is any logical explanation for why this is happening, i'd love to get an opinion from a software-savvy person out there because I know little to nothing about computers to be completely honest.

May 1, 2008I built this computer about a year ago. I installed Vista Home Premium 64 bit along with 4x1 gig sticks of dual sided RAM. Vista memory test said that everything was good. Recently I`ve been getting an error message telling me that the Superfetch has stopped working. This usually happens while running memory intensive programs. I checked out Superfetch and it was set to Start and Automatic. I did another memory test with Vista memory test tool and this time it tells me that I have a hardware problem. At the end of the test it is supposed to reboot and give me a detail list of the errors but instead I get another error message telling me that "windows has failed to start put in the installation disk and use the repair option.
"When I try to repair with the disk it tells me that I should remove A recent USB device that I have on my computer such as a music player. The only USB devices I have connected to the computer is my keyboard, mouse and printer. I use the computer to charge my ipod but I have long since removed it. I don`t know what to do. I tried swapping out each individual stick of RAM and running the memory test but I get the same results. All of the sticks can`t be bad can they? I reinstallled the motherboard drivers. Same results. Vista also keeps telling me that I need to activate. I activated 4 times already. The activation was successful but Vista just keeps asking me to activate. I have`nt made any major hardware changes except for swapping the memory to do the tests.

View 5 Replies View RelatedCannot Disable UAC,
May 15, 2010I'm on Vista x64 Home Premium (SP1), and I have a problem. When my laptop got shipped with Vista, I disabled UAC on the spot because of various software incompatibility. Recently I have been led to enable it again because of some failing software. It didn't solve the problem and thus I decided to disable it again. However, this time, when I go on to User Accounts and I click on the "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off", it brings up the popup that asks me whether I want to proceed. I click "Yes", expecting the dialog box to show up so that I can successfully disable the UAC. But the dialog box never came up. The UAC popup just closed and the computer remained motionless. I tried rebooting, and manually deactivating UAC using command-line prompts which yielded "Access Denied".
And now, I cannot use my computer effectively, as most of my software is uncompatible with UAC and fails to run. Is there any way to fix this ? I only have one account that is being marked as Administrator, and it seems quite strange that I can't set UAC back off again. Google search didn't help me a lot either - most links only tell me how to actually disable it, which fails on my system....
Disable Parts Of Uac
Jun 14, 2008Is it plausible to disable parts of UAC? this because I hate the parts -blocked startupprograms (in dutch geblokkeerde opstartprogramma's) -'are you sure you want to proceed'-messages (weet u zeker dat u hiermee door wilt gaan) , but the other parts are very usefull. so is it plausible to disable these parts? the only thing I know is how to disable the whole UAC.

Jun 6, 2008I recently bought a new PC with Windows Vista on. It supports HD audio, and came with Realtek HD Audio Drivers. I do however only have 2 "normal" speakers -- no surround equipment or anything like that at all. And I think the audio sounds weird now, compared with my old PC, which did not have this "HD Audio" thing. Is there any way to go back to plain old audio? Maybe it can be done in the Realtek HD Audio confguration in the Control Panel?

Mar 23, 2008I've seen posts for months about what a piece of crap TrustedInstaller is. It constantly goes out, buries the CPU, and otherwise makes Vista totally useless. Of my list of 100 annoyances about Vista, this has to be the 1. Is there any way to shut this off? I'm not one of those NOOBS incapable of doing my own updates, why does MS deem fit to kill my machine and check for updates so often?

May 1, 2009I've noticed in running my registry cleaner that there are many megabytes of multiple program entries in the registry under Wow6432Node. Is it possible to disable this through i.e. using autorun from sysinternals: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun] ?
I remember reading somewhere this was important for the operation of Vista but in another post from Woody Leonhard in his column, "Windows Secrets", as stated below, it can be disabled as it's unneeded: "Autoruns works well with Windows 7, rooting out autostart programs in some mighty obscure Windows 7 places, such as the following Registry key:" HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432Node

Apr 23, 2008I'm looking to Share a folder on my Vista Ultimate machine. I want this folder to be accessible via the WAN. Simply put, is this possible? I have not found information going either way right now.
Firewall is using Windows One Care
What I've tried:
-Enabling File Sharing.
-Enabling Public File Sharing.
-Enabled Firewall exception for File Sharing.....
I don't want to do this via VPN connection Basically I've tried all I know. So I'm assuming this can't be done, security reasons for this?Probably. I can't even telnet into the above ports to see if it will accept the connection. RDP with port forwarding works fine as does Web Access. Reason? I do programming at both Home and Work, but would like a centralized location of where the projects are stored. If I could get to my Home PCs Shared Folder using the UNC path, that would be great.
