Mar 23, 2008The thumbnails that appear when you move the cursor over minimized applications or windows now don't show the contents of the window properly, apart (it seems!) from Windows Mail....all the others are blank with a small square icon in the middle. Anyone noticed that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedInstalling Old Applications On Vista
Jun 16, 2008I was planning to purchase my new computer with Vista OS. I had in mind to install all my applications I currently have on Windows 2000 onto Vista. This could be Photoshop, Dreamweaver, some image and video editing software, some tools, etc. I heard from some technical sources that Vista will become buggy with the old applications installed. Could anyone confirm that from your own experience and describe the bugs if any, so I could have a better understanding what to expect. Perhaps, a better advice would be to stay with Windows XP for a fewyears?
View 9 Replies View RelatedInstall Vista Over Installed Already Installed Vista
Apr 17, 2008In November I upgraded my system with Vista Ultimate. When it was returned to me I followed each prompt and did everything during installation it asked of me. Now 5 months later is states that I need to validate. I guess whatever was running on my system was temporary. Does anyone know that if I purchase a new product key this will solve my issue or do I have to purchase a full version? If I do have to purchase a full version can it be installed over my already installed and running vista on my system?

Mar 13, 2009Overall, I have to say the move to Vista was not at all what I had expected. So far I am very happy with this version of Windows (nice to move away from XP after 6 years). Is there any hope for Vista to ever overcome it's generally poor reputation?

Apr 5, 2008I am having problems trying to figure how to get vista on a 400g SATA drive. I have tried with both 32 and 64. When I boot from the disk and do a custom install.. the drive just is not there. So I gave up on that and plugged in a smaller IDE drive and of course Vista installs no problem and guess what.. I can now use my Large Sata. Problem is that Vista runs extremly slow on the IDE. how I can move Vista to the SATA drive or at least do a fresh install to it, then I could transfer my settings.

Mar 18, 2009I just bought a DV4t laptop from HP. Due to the hard drive heating up problems with this particular laptop, I went out and bought a 60GB SSD which runs a lot cooler. Is there a way to move the Vista x64 Home Premium to the new SSD drive? I thought about reinstalling the OS from scratch, but the HP system does not come with a Windows disk, just a recover disk that will fill up most of the SSD space with bloatware.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMove Install Of Vista To System Without Reinstalling
Jun 6, 2008I recently built a new computer and I would like to move my current install of Vista to the new system without reinstalling it. My only problem is that both setups will be using a raid 0 array for the installation and I don't know if I will be able to boot off the old disks with the new hardware. My old PC was a nForce 4 based AMD rig and my new one is a P35 based Intel rig. Is there a way that I can install the drivers for the new raid array prior to booting with it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMove Outlook Express Over To New Vista Computer?
Mar 23, 2008Back in the 60s the saying about Ma Bell was "We don't care - we don't have to." The feedback on these threads makes me think that it's time to resurrect that saying. Microsoft is not the 2nd party - Norton and McAfee are the 2nd parties - we buy their software. Microsoft is the 3rd party that installs their oh-so software on our computers and then expects us to uninstall or disable the functions of the 2d party software in order for their 3rd party software to work. Truly Ma Bell thinking on Microsoft's part.
So I give up - I'll not be using Windows Mail. The question now is whether I continue to have two computers running - my old laptop that has Outlook Express that has NEVER been a problem. Or can I move Outlook Express over to the new Vista computer? (The problem I'm dealing with is not a new one, rather it's one that has been kicking around here on the various discussion sites since last spring - that is that the antivirus programs seem to render WM useless, i.e., no mail in or out and no access to the messages in the folders with some lame excuse about the lack of memory etc. Yet here we are into Feb 2008 and Windows Mail and it's advisors are still saying dump the 2nd party software.)
Move Installation: Transfer The Drive With The Vista Install To The New Computer ?
May 22, 2009My computer just died, with a complex Vista installation on a 250 GB drive. I have a replacement unit on its way, but is there any way to transfer the drive with the Vista install to the new computer and get a working system? My Vista is a full retail copy. I'm now working on XP from my backup machine, an old Dell Optiplex GX200, with a 733 MHZ P3 that's not capable of running Vista. I could reinstall Vista, but would lose an awful lot of data and installed programs.

View 7 Replies View RelatedVista Installed Can't The Ram
Aug 27, 2009I have run Windows XP on my system since 2004. I have been running 2GB of system RAM through 4x512 Corsair valueselect memory sticks. I attempted to install Vista Business on Monday and the system would never get to the point where it would ask to create the user account without going into a reboot loop that I couldn't get out of (even in safe mode). After removing and replacing hardware, the only thing that would solve the problem was to remove 2 of the 512 sticks and leaving the RAM at 1GB. Now after vista is installed, I can't put the RAM back without having the reboot loop return. Does know how I can get Vista to recognize my other 1GB without getting all mad and throwing a temper tantrum?....

View 9 Replies View RelatedInstalled Vista : Bootmgr Is Missing
Jun 5, 2009My PC has two hard drives. Windows gave me the option on boot up of proceeding with either Windows XP or Windows Vista home basic which worked fine. I then Ultimate 32 bit over the XP installation and again all seemed ok. However, the other morning I switched on the pc and got the dreaded Bootmgr is missing message. I have tried fixing using the vista disc but when it says select the OS to repair nothing is showing. If i click next and then choose the repair option it goes through the process and then you reboot but the problem still remains. I have also tried the command prompt options but they make no difference either. The Bios recognises both my hard drives are there ok.

Jun 20, 2008I installed a copy of Vista x64 Ultimate to try out on my machine because i have 4Gb of ram and windows XP doesn't recognize it It installed on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ black edition no problem, but after it downloaded 42 updates i went into a BSOD loop. No matter what i did after that, i could not re-install XP on anyone of the 6 Hd's i had in my system. If i tried... BSOD.
I had no choice but to purchase yet another HD (which i didnt really need) just so i can use that as a singular connected drive to install XP on again.Now then, most of my drives are now unreadable in XP and i get messages like this an error occurred reading folder:the volume does not contain a recognized file system. please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted (1005) I have even tried connecting said drives to USB/Firewire external enclosures to see if i can access files that way. If i have lost over 2Tb of data on these drives just for installing vista, i will be looking for someone at MS to assassinate please tell me there is a viable solution to this
