Doesn't Look To Pretty On 24 Inch Widescreen
Sep 23, 2008
I was just on my desktop working on some editing and 3D apps, decided to give it a reboot for no other reason than I hadn't in a day, and the computer boots back up with nothing but problems! First of all the resolution looks like it reset to default 640 x 480 or something. Which doesn't look to pretty on my 24 inch widescreen. I have a video card that's less than a month old, and it's not overclocked or anyhting, so no idea what's going on there.
To make it worse, I have no device input control whatsoever. I first tried with my normal DiNovo keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth. Getting no response at all, I swapped to a standard wireless keyboard I have and mouse. Still no input reply at all. When windows loads, it's saying it's loading a device driver in the taskbar, but it just loads forever. I don't even know WHAT it's trying to load! Getting back to DOS and booting off my CD, I can get to the repair and recovery section...for all the good it does me being as system restore is turned off. I tried the startup repair but of course it didn't find anything wrong. Oddly enough the keyboard and mouse DOES work while Im here in the system recovery app. I have no idea what to do. I just got my PC all nice how I like it. I finally get in the mood to edit me and my wife's home movies and this happens! Help? Anything?

I am setting up my vista machine. I would like to change my DPI (dots per inch) on my screen. So, I go to my desktop's Personalize -> Display Settings -> Advanced Settings. As the Vista help says, I should be able to see a tab called "Scale (DPI)". But I only see tabs "Adapter", "Monitor", "Color Management", etc. My graphic card is NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700. Is it a graphic card related issue? I don't think it's a monitor issue since I was able to set DPI using my old XP machine and the same monitors.

I have been looking thru all the major guides on the web on how to enable widescreen resolutions and nothing seems to work. I've tried altering the DoomConfig.cfg and added the AutoExec.cfg file and everything that they says works but they don't. I can't even switch it from 640x480 to 1280x1024 using the ingame options it just keeps being set to 640x480.

here and ive been wanting to Underclock for specific reasons but thats not the point. When I boot up my pc I get into setup (which im pretty sure is bios :P) but there is none of the settings I need to change. for example Front End Bus or Core voltage or Frequency voltage my Clock speed whats going on? I bought my cpu built already so. I dont know if that has something to do with it but this is really bugging me?

Vista is good looking software, but pretty slow. Altough my computer has no problems running it, because there's WAY enough power to do that. BUT, some serious issues have come up. And the most worst and annoying thing is the lag in games, internet etc. There's this lagspike that comes every 10 to 60 seconds. When youre playing a game that needs connection to internet example Guild Wars, it's annoying. There's no way you can play the game properly. First this lag wasn't so bad, but it has come to a point where the whole game disconnects from the server because lag is too long. This problem is experienced by many people and they are as annoyid as I am. More specificly the problem is experienced with wlan connections. I hope Microsoft quickly fixes this major problem.

I'll be attending a 5 day course, 8 hrs per day. I'd like to take my Vista laptop with me and record the voice. I'm worried that I'll run out of disk space pretty fast. Is there any software that would allow me to record in a compressed form straight away?

I have created a stable version that trims a lot of the fat, including 30 languages i don't speak, "pretty" features that i paid extra for, and tons of drivers/features that i haven't ever used. However, after running sfc /scannow i don't get normal error messages (maybe this is obvious to everyone but me ;p). the only errors i get are "cannot verify component..." which include Intel and amd64. however i do not have an Intel chip so this seems odd to me.
my goal is to maintain the sanctity of my slipstream copy as much as possible and to be able to install sp1. i haven't tried using the repair installation yet due to fear of it "fixing" my installation more than just fixing the errors i get. i am posting an attachment text file of my sfcdetails.txt with the above filter because i get none of the member style errors per the tutorials

I have had Windows Vista 64 for 2 Months now and of that period of time it worked soundly for about 2 Weeks. I am NOT an irresponsible User, I don't just delete Data, I know a little something about computing, I don't visit or download from dubious sites etc.
1) Without any reason software suddently doesn't work.
a) I installed a Antivirussoftware - after 3 Weeks it suddently didn't work any more (Kaspersky) I couldn't reinstall it.
b) I installed a new Antivirussoftware - after 5 days it didn't work anymore.
c) 4 days later I started to get errormessages "Windows Defender doesn't work any more" - "Windows Hostprocess doesn't work anymore"

Running Vista Home Premium on Compaq Presario notebook. This is my first Vista machine and I find its inability to do a "proper" search a stunning shortcoming. Or am I missing some secret setting? Scenario- I want to do a search of my entire hard drive for a file. I only know the extension so I enter .snf and the results are 1 file found. Wrong!First of all, the results don't show me the complete path to the file.
Instead of displaying C:UsersownerDocuments, it displays C:Usersowner. That's it. I either have to flail around and manually check all the owner folders or right click and look at the file's properties. Why won't Vista display the FULL path to the file? Secondly, and this is really disappointing, is that I KNOW there are at least 70 more .snf files on my C drive that Vista apparently can't locate! I never had this search problem with XP. You ask XP and it tells all. Simple. So what gives with Vista? Is there some way to make Vista do a COMPLETE search and display ALL found files with FULL PATHS?

I wish to UPGRADE (not clean install) my vista ultimate to win 7 ultimate.I put the win 7 (full version) DVD in my computer, setup ran and told me to remove Kaspersky anti-virus.I removed Kaspersky anti-virus and did the requested re-boot.
Now when I put the win 7 DVD in, setup does not run. When I try to double click on the DVD drive in explorer I get a readme text file and that's all.Trying to run: d:setup.exe in the run command on the start menu and at a command prompt does not work either.
I can boot from the DVD but that is only for a clean install, which I don't want to do.

I bought my computer a few weeks ago and I can't find the information anywhere. It just says I'm running Home Premium but doesn't mention if it has SP1 or not. Windows updates haven't said it needs downloading so does this mean it already has SP1? Is there a way to find out?

I have an HP dv6500 laptop running Vista Home Premium. Suddenly the CD ROM has quit working. It doesn't show on My Computer and at one time I got an error 39. I had Vista check the drivers and it said they were good. I'm only good enough on the computer to follow explicit instructions. When I put a CD in the drive the light will come on like it's reading but then goes off and it does nothing.

I just bought a Hp 8300 with the Windows media center running Vista. If I try and watch the TV, it will pause and need to restart the computer to use the computer. It just locks up. Hp Tech support had me install new drivers, then they had me do the reinstall to original settings.. It worked until I tried to record, then it locked up again and the TV doesn't work again. It will lock up after watching the TV about 15 seconds. I returned the computer and got another one, it does the same thing, Tech support told me I had a bad tuner (on 2 computers?) they sent me a new tuner, that didn't work. Then they said I needed to reinstall the factory settings from the disk, they sent that to me and that did not fix the problem. The computer did not come with a new monitor and I am using a Sony flatscreen, its about 4 years old. Is that my problem? I'm going to take the computer to the store and let them see if they can make it work with a new monitor.

Alias is getting a big hard on ( well for Alias it's big, but in the scheme of things 1 inch isn't much) about the new release of that INFERIOR Opetating System Ubuntu, Spicy Sphincter or whatever it's called. One thing for sure, Ubuntu is WORTHLESS for 99.999% of the population out there because Ubuntu doesn't run any of their software. Alias is the Ubuntu Marketing Department and Alias is a lost mental soul. He believes that he can convert users to that piece of crap when in reality

I have a Dell M6300 laptop running Vista Ultimate x86 that I want to ugprade to Ultimate x64. I currently use Embassy Trust Suite on this laptop (with Vista Ultimate x32) for hardware authentication. My HDD and system are locked by passwords which are both mapped to my fingerprint. The hardware authentication is the only functionality I use it for. The 2.1.2.25 version of Embassy Trust Suite is available from Dell for my model but it doesn't appear to be x64 compatible. It lists only Vista x86. Embassy has a full version on their website but it references the TPM driver from my manufacturer. Does anyone out there have an M6300 running an x64 version of Vista?

Whenever i click on the feed button in IE, it doesn't show a list of available feeds, I just gives me a page of html/xml code. This is for any site, I've tried google news, msn news, everything. If I click the down button on the orange rss button, it shows feeds, but when I click on any of them, I get the page of code.

have looked through other helpful posts on here regarding the Autorun problems, having looked into that i checked all registry entries etc that were fine, however, i dont have the NoDriveTypeAutoRun where it should be all i have is
(Default)
BindDirectlyToPropertySetStorage
This doesnt seem to tie in with the write ups i have looked at and cant find the NoDriveTypeAutoRun. Also, there is no action when i insert the cdrom or dvd etc into the pc, have looked to find the manual start procedure but cant see anything in there, what drive should i be looking in?

I've got the Home Premium 64-bit edition and I need to enter a registration key for my password manager. Unfortunately this version of Vista doesn't allow me to do a merge, although I did find a way to have a look at the registry itself yesterday. Is there a way around this? I'd really like to get this registered and be able to use my password manager.
