Unable To Connect To Virtual Disk Service
Oct 6, 2009
This just started. Other symptoms:
Disk Manager: "unable to connect to virtual disk service"
Internet: "Connection Status Unknown, not enough storage is available to complete this operation"
Speakers: "The audio service is not running"
Quick Launch Toolbar: Cannot start Windows Explorer, but other apps ok.
Internet is up and running fine, can still get email and visit web pages.
Yesterday, tried to run VS C# Express for the first time, and could not open a project without getting a error message. So, I ran the following script usin subbinacl:
cd /d "%programfiles%Windows Resource KitsTools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
What's happening?

I have an hp with vista hp 32bit and recently I am unable to connect to the Internet. My Internet icon has a red X over it and it says connection:unknown the dependency service or group failed to start. I have no idea why this is happening. I tried system restore but an errormessage says it's unable to restore. I ran the antivirus (norton 360) and 3 Trojans were found and destroyed. Still doesn't work. Ran the cmd prompt and tried the sfc /scannow fix and nothing was found. I'm flatout of ideas.

Am I correct in assuming that, for Windows ME to run in a Virtual PC 2007 window, the Windows ME virtual disk must be located inside a disk partition that is FAT32? On a test run, I tried to install WinME on a virtual disk in a folder that was in my normal Vista partition (NTFS), and it didn't get far. I tried placing the WinME virtual disk inside an FAT32 partition, and although I didn't finish the installation process, I got that far, with the WinME instalation screen having popped up and ready for installation. One other thing: Is it possible to place the WinME virtual disk inside a logical FAT32 partition? Or must it be a primary partition?

I recently purchased a Vista Home Premium upgrade package and I want to upgrade by OEM version of XP (Media Center) shipped on my computer. I must also maintain XP on a dualboot partition for legacy applications compatibility issues. My plan is to do a clean install of Vista Premiun updrade, then use Virtual PC to create a virtual XP OS partition using my OEM XP disk. My question is, will this: Does this create a license issue?

unable to install Service pack 2 on her Vista Home computer it says it can not install and is removing files. It even did the same after I took over a downloaded version and copied it on to her computer. Have also tried the program that you use from Windows site (windows6.0KB947821-v5x86) to prepare for the installation of SP 2 but even that will not install.

I think I may have a problem: I have installed the Vista beta service pack (6001). But I don't know how to uninstall it. I have gone to add/remove programs/view installed updates and it doesn't appear there. I definitely have it, because under My Computer it says: Windows Vista ™ Ultimate Service Pack 1, v668 On my desktop, on the bottom right hand corner, it says: Windows Vista ™ evaluation copy. Build 6001. In Windows Updates, it has an entry on 15/12/2007: Update for Windows Vista (KB937287) - Build 6001.17052 (x86). Status: successful. When I double click on it, the information panel says (among other things) it cannot be uninstalled. It has another entry, also 15/12/2007: Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate 1 - Bulid 6001.17052 (x86). Status: failed. I believe that I have to uninstall the beta service pack before I can load the full version when it is released. Also,

How do you edit a virtual pc hard drive image so that you can add files onto. So that if you have say MS-DOS 7.1 running on virtual pc and want to add SIMCITY 2000 to its virtual hardrive. Then you could run SIMCITY 2000 from dos on windows vista. And once simcity 2000 is added to the virtual hardrive how do I execute SC2000.exe from dos or dos shell.

I brought a laptop of mine over to my gfs today and connected it to anexisting network that her roommate has setup. I have not had any luck getting it to connect either by wireless connection, connecting to an ethernet cable to a wireless router which goes to the modem, or connection to the ethernet cable which goes directly to the modem.
I had no problems with this laptop at my place connecting to wireless or wired and both places use comcast cable for internet.
I've been searching forums all day looking for clues. I have seen a lot of talk of MAC addresses, unable to contact your DHCP server, ip renewing etc. But nothing seems to work. It defaults to a 169.254.*ip which I believe means it cannot connect to the DHCP server.

I am having trouble booting up my computer. Vista SP1. My computer hangs occasionally during start up. And usually when i just turned it on, it gives a few long beeps and nothing happens on the screen. Could it be having problems with the CPU or my screen?

I have been using a legal version of windows vista business with SP 1 and have installed all the recent updates. Just a few days ago some of the applications that I often use dont work any more. The applications are freecall ( a voip software ), Bit Comet and DC++ . I have searched many forums on all the above mentioned applications and also many Windows vista forums but still am not able to figure out what has gone wrong or why am unable to fix this issue. Some of the things that I have tried,
1) Tried system restore by restoring the system to a week earlier settings. This didnt work out.
2) uninstalled the firewall ( comodo ) I had on my comp. Disabled windows firewall . Even this didnt work.
3) I had VMWare installed and hence I thought that it had disturbed the network settings . So later i also uninstalled this VMWare application.
4) Then after reading some posts in other forums, I ran services.msc then disabled UpnP and SDSP . Even this didnt work out.
5) Now I have only my windows firewall turned on with exceptions to all the applications mentioned above.Even now it does not work out.
For the Dc++ thing, am unable to connect to the university Hub.

I am unable to connect to internet using my wireless. I have tried resetting the router and rebooting the laptop. Each time I try connecting to internet the system throws and error " the dependency service or group failed to start". I have tried using vista's diagonse and repair option, but no luck. I have tried restarting the wireless, troubleshooted drives. On doing the ipconfig /renew at the command prompt the following was seen. " No operation can be performed on wireless network connection while it has its media disconnected.No operation can be performed on bluetooth network connection while it has its media disconnected. An error occured while releasing interface loopback pseudo-interface1" On futher diagnoses i have notice that DHCP clinet service is stuck in the "STARTING" state. I am unable to stop and restart it. I have logged using the administrator.

When I try to connect an external USB hard drive or a USB memory stick to my laptop, Vista throws up a message saying: ???Windows needs to install driver software for your Unknown Device???. I let Vista search, but Vista cannot find the required driver. However, when I connect the same external USB hard drive or a USB memory stick to my desktop PC, also running Vista Ultimate, Vista has no problems recognizing the device and installing the required driver automatically and without throwing up any messages. I suspect that some Vista service(s) on my laptop might be disabled or not functioning properly, but I cannot find out which one could be the cause. Perhaps someone here could point me in the right direction.

I am unable to connect to any wireless network. When diagnosing why i cant connect, i am simply told 'you are unable to connect'. additionally, when directly connecting through a cable, I still cannot use internet, however my AOL instant messenger will work fine. I have tried restarting my computer and router with no success. All settings have been set to match my home network. I am lost as to what the problem could be.

I'm running a visa 32 bit laptop and a Windows xp PC on a network and im trying to send files from the laptop to the PC. My laptop is unable to connect to the internet and I think the problem is that I have a virus so I'm just going to reformat the whole thing. I want to send my laptop files to my PC, but when I go to the network and sharing center on the laptop to turn public folder sharing on, the whole window just freezes when I apply the setting. The workgroup names are the same. Is there anything else that I have to do to be able to share the files?

I just bought Windows Vista Home Basic to use on a MacBook, and created a partition using a program called BootCamp, which allows the use of Mac OS X as well as Windows XP or Vista. I installed Vista and was excited to use it but then I was unable to connect to the wireless router in my house. I'm not sure why, but the Mac OS X part of my computer is using the internet through the router, but the Windows Vista will not pick up the signal from the router. Does anyone have a similar problem or solution?

Now, I've seen that there have been a couple of posts up on the internet concerning this issue and it's frustrating to find that there is no solid answers out there. Hopefully we can get something moving from this thread. Recently I decided to move from Vista x32 to Vista x64 due to memory upgrade limitations. Upon loading up Vista x64 I discovered that while my media sharing worked just fine I was unable to setup my 360 to be an MCE.Upon researching all of the solutions posted out there and trying them all, I decided to do some controlled tests to see if I could replicate the issue. EACH series was conducted on FRESHLY loaded installations of Vista Ultimate and here's the results. Setup parameters
MCE: Xbox 360 Elite Edition
MCPC: Intel based Core 2 Duo System with 4GB RAM @ 3.00Ghz (DP35DP)
The base connectivity is a 3COM unmanaged 10/100 switch connected into a Cisco ASA 5505 which is bridged to QWEST DSL via a Cisco 678 DSL modem. All drops in the residence have been checked for interference and signal quality, all passing with flying colors. A Server 2008 based Active Directory Domain is present in this configuration with GPO enforced to the Computers via a link to the OU that contains all PC's. There is also an Exchange 2007 server present in this configuration. When each test is completed, the XBOX is wiped to factory defaults to ensure a fresh approach.....

I've been running Ultimate x64 and had occasional freezing problems. I'm pretty sure those are related to a memory issue. Normally I just have to hard reset the system and everything is fine. But yesterday I had a lock-up, hard reset and somehow the date was changed to 18 Apr, 2066. I obviously couldn't connect to the internet, so I reset the date to 2009 and restarted. No change.
My software subscriptions think they have expired, and I'm at a complete loss here. I require the internet and that software on that system for work and have no idea what to do. I believe as soon as I get the connection up, my subscriptions will talk to their online server friends and all will be fine (hopefully), so that's why this thread is here.

I'm having a problem with Vista's networking. A lot of my friends who still have XP are able to use remote desktop and tunneling services easily, where as I am unable to on my Vista machine. It's quite ironic cause I'd think Vista (newer than XP) would have better networking capabilities. But that aside, I've followed the instructions in order to install Tunneling on Vista (Since MS removed it from Vista) by going to programs and features and adding the telnet feature. This seemed to work somewhat, but now I'm trying to use SSH Tunnel Client to connect to a server and I'm unable to. Overall it seems Vista is locked up tight. Is there any information I can get in order to open up Vista in order to do what I want to do. I've looked at a lot of Q&A's, tutorials and how tos, but most of them explain very basic things. What steps do i need to take in order to connect to a server using SSH in Vista?

When I first set up my Firewall on my new computer, I kept getting a warning pop up from the Firewall (AVG) that said ".NET Runtime Optimization Service wants to connect to the internet" and it wanted to know whether to block it or allow it.
Not knowing what it was, I blocked it. I did research on google and I found nothing that explains what it does or why. One site said it is malware and I should block it, another said it is important to keep my computer running well and I should allow it! Anyone know exactly what this is, why it is here, and whether or not I should uninstall or block it, or allow it?
