Gaming: Make The Computer Run Fine With Vista-64
Dec 7, 2008Im upgrading my computer of 5 years within the next 2 weeks. I decided to build a sick machine (Intel i7, DDR3, GTX 280 all the goodies.) With doing so, im going to put 64 bit vista on it. Now as far as my use of the computer, well its simple, gaming. Im usually stuck to the World of Warcraft, FPSs, and RTS. I have no idea what im getting into with vista. With what I'm using the computer for, how should I go about doing stuff on windows to prepare the computer. By this I mean, what drivers do I need, what other software should I install. What do I basically need to make the computer run fine with Vista-64

Jan 30, 2010I don't find the desktop to be of much use, too many icons take away from the image I choose to display, but I do use the desktop toolbar from the taskbar quite a bit. There are icons that I cannot remove from the desktop toolbar such as the Network & Control Panel icons they won’t leave the toolbar, and I can’t seem to kill the IE icon off for good, either.

Apr 17, 2009Bought and installed WEB EASY 7. Ran fine no problems. Shut down system and when I started up later and executed WEB Easy it said that it could not fine the serial code. Put the serial code in again and it ran fine, until the next shutdown and restart. Worked about 6 weeks with WEB EASY (Avanquest) to resolve and they could not. Their final fix was to format the disc and install a clean Vista with all updates.
I have not problem with any other software that I have purchased. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WEB EASY from my account with Admin Priv as well as Installed with the "Hidden Administrator" logon. Avanquest has of course said it is Microsofts problem and hung up. Apparently when I do an initial install and enter the serial code as requested it puts it in the worng place or somewhere that later users, including the Administrator, does not have access to; or the prgrram itself
is locked out of.

Mar 23, 2008All of my picture icons were changed to standard-generic icons when I had my computer restored to the factory direct setting. Now they don't display anything except a flower, house, ect. My question is: How do I change the picture icon setting back so I can see a tiny preview thingy for each icon, instead of having to click on each one to see what they really are?

Screen Goes NEARLY Black, But Cursor Still Fine
May 5, 2006The issue is the screen goes nearly black, i.e. everything is still displayed but just really dark, as if the brightness on the monitor has been turned right down. However, the mouse cursor still appears bright white. It seems to occur pretty randomly. It has happened with both the default video drivers and the ATI beta drivers, and it has also occured both before and after the logon screen.

Apr 15, 2008We have XP computers and an external hard drive on a network, all working fine. Just got a new Vista computer right out of the box and I can not get it to do anything with the network and none of the other computers can see it either. There are no fancy setups, just a small business network. There isnt even an internet connection we need to deal with. With Vista, all i can see is an "unidentified network" as being seen but it doesnt seem to do anything with it.

May 12, 2009A Vista SP1 Home Premium problem - 9 live icons covering 9 dead icons: Several days ago I had a desktop with 9 live, working icons at the bottom of the desktop. ie: recycle bin, computer, network, control panel, etc. The 9th icon was a folder called 'powershell'.
Several days ago I deleted the 'powershell' folder, and, underneath that folder, was surprised to find a dead copy of the 'powershell' folder. The deleted 'powershell' folder was in the recycle bin, and an undeleted dead copy on the desktop. This dead copy cannot be accessed with selection, left-click, or right-click operations - so the 'Properties' info cannot be displayed.........

Wireless LAN Fails, All Parts Work Fine.
Nov 28, 2007Small home wireless LAN, Netgear WGR614v4 router, Using WPA, two XP machines, one Vista (home Basic ),
1) all working ok for many hours, except when
2) Vista machine goes to sleep mode. On wakeup, no connection. Network SSID is visible, good signal, but repeated attempts to connect fail.
3) Other computers connect to router, and internet fine. They can also standby/poweroff and restart fine. Still connected.
4) Reboot Vista computer, no help. Network settings look normal, just no connection to wireless router. Incredibly irritating Vista diagnostic tool suggests I connect to a another network, or recycle the router. (If the router was close enough to be easily recycled, I would just plug in an ethernet cable. But it is not, and I am tired of unnecessary trips to the basement.)
5) Power cycle router, and everything fine again.
Limited On Secure Network Fine On Unsecured
Mar 25, 2009One new computer using Vista Home. Installed wireless network card and ran software. Found and established connection to wireless network in the office. Then....I setup the network to be secured, connected with a Win XP computer with no problems using the correct key. Did the same process with the Vista computer, found the network, asked for key, entered correct key and have limited connection. Reset everything on network. Switched back to unsecured and hooked right up. Disabled firewall, the only thing running is McAfee Total Protection, no firewalls.
View 5 Replies View RelatedNetwork Connection Running Fine Ics Cannot Work
Mar 28, 2008Ive just had broadband connected to my house. Currently I have a network consisting of four computers connected through an internal switch on one of my computers in one of the bedrooms for ease of cabling. The computer with the broadband modem has been chosen as it is newest and is closest to the telephone line socket. It has two network cards, one connected to the modem and the other to the rest of the network. Independantly, the network connections are running fine (all computers can see each other and transfer data properly) and the internet connection is working well for the computer connected directly to the modem.
The network is setup using Static IP Addresses 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.4 (With 0.1 being for the host) and the modem is connected using a different set of IP addresses. I have also set the internet connection sharing options according to what is required on the microsoft website for both the internet host and clients. I have both Norton Antivirus and Zonealarm activated on all computers but have set them up to allow access to each other. My problem therefore is, despite my broadband connection working on the one computer, and my network connections working, I cannot get ICS to work.

Mar 5, 2007Windows Vista has many new icon sizes. Using a simple mouse scroll wheel trick that was primarily used in Internet Explorer to change the text size for years, it is now possible to change the icon sizes of almost any window you are in, including the desktop.
While on your desktop, hold down the CTRL key and scroll your mouse up for larger and down for smaller icons. You can make your icons very small or extremely large as shown in the two examples below.....
Integrate Dreamscene To Aero. Screensaver Fine-tuning
Mar 26, 20081. Integrate Dreamscene to Aero -Most home users like Vista Ultimate because of Ultimate Extras, Complete PC Backup and Restore, and BitLocker. Dreamscene happens to be a popular feature of Ultimate, but if that's all a user wants, it's not very wise to spend 100$ more than Home Premium or Business just to get Extras. There is also an Extra that lets you play Poker, but there are 3rd party software/websites that can let you do that.
2. Screensaver Fine-tuning -I've seen it before: you have to play with some values in the registry to change some settings in some Windows screensavers, namely Ribbons, Bubbles, Mystify. However, for the inexperienced user who just wants bigger bubbles or thinner ribbons, it's quite hard to follow instructions that assume the reader is an experienced computer user.
3. Where's Luna? -Some Vista users just miss the Luna theme that XP came with. Personally, I miss it as well, and I doubt that most users would like to buy
WindowsBlinds just to get XP look on Vista. The Luna theme should be available for download. Maybe as an "Optional" update in Windows Update. Or, as a download in the Microsoft website.
4. Change color in Windows Vista Basic Theme -The generic light blue color scheme that the Vista Basic theme has isn't very attractive. There should be options to change the frame color so that computers unable to run the Vista Standard or Aero theme can also enjoy the customizable interface. It can also help laptops by not making it a hassle to switch between Aero/Standard and Basic, which uses less GPU and CPU power. The "ColorizationColor" registry entry is deleted whenever you switch to Basic through Personalization. It saves the user time to get that perfect shade of Green, Violet, or Yellow that was lost due to someone changing the theme to Vista Basic. If possible, on computers capable of running the Vista Standard or Aero theme, the "ColorizationColor" registry entry should not be deleted, so that the user will not have to fine-tune sliders to get that perfect shade.
5. Additional Aero Effect...........
