For those who were using Vista Winmail in win 7 and find it 'broken' following the installation of the SP1 update (likely due to the inclusion of update KB978542), you can easily restore it by copying the Vista Winmail folder (if you still have it) back to the Program files directory.
Ive been trying to get winmail to work on my 64bit version. i have read all the posts & also tried poppa bears method but no sucess.. windows 7 mail Windows Mail 32 bit winmail is launching 64 bit winmail - Vista Forums . been using the winmail on my 32bit windows 7 without any problems but with my new laptop preinstalled with 64bit no sucess.
I am using Windows 7 Professional on an HP Envy laptop.I hate windows live mail.I do have Office 2010 installed and only use the contacts and calendar programs.I do not use Outlook.I have copied Vistas Winmail.exe program to Win 7 and reinstalled all my mail and settings from before with no problem. It works and I am reasonably happy. However, I cannot set it to default for .eml or mailto: links. I have been to the Control Panel and Default Programs.looked in "Set your default programs" and Windows Mail is not an option. It does not appear there at all.been to "Set program access and computer defaults" and set it as default under Custom.I tried going to the "Associate a file type or protocol with a program", found the .eml and mailto links and tried to change the program associated to Winmail.exe by browsing to the file and selecting it. But the file is grayed out and cannot be accepted as a change. The WinMail.exe file is also grayed out when you browse to it in Explorer, as it is a hidden file.
Anyone know the work-around in getting Vista Winmail to work on Windows 7 Home prem 64bit? I got it to work on a Windows 7 32bit Home Prem but fails on a 64bit sys.

I've encountered this problem with games such as NHL09 and Shogun2. Problem is that when fullscreen launches the other monitor goes freezeframe or goes completely out, thus I cannot see the movie or sportsstream anymore on the secondary monitor, sound remains...
I need a global resolve so that when ever I choose to go fullscreen (such as gaming) the movie or stream or what ever is on the fullscreen in secondary monitor remains viewable and enjoyable by whom ever...
Have purchased a new Intel I7-2700 3.5 with asus p68z68 v. Installed win 7 64-bit on new hard disk and will only install 32-bit. Have checked BIOS and all looks fine, windows sees the chip, but only as 32!Have flashed BIOS to latest version 902, but still same problem, BIOS looks fine, windows won't see it - only says 32-bit system when installed.
Earlier this morning I was on my laptop, and I must have knocked it or something, because the battery fell out and as a result it shut down. A minor annoyance I thought, but nothing extreme.
I then tried to start the computer up again and it told me "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
This had come up before and I always just pressed "Start windows normally" and it works fine. However, this time when I tried it, it didn't work fine. The windows logo didn't come up on the "Starting Windows" screen, and it came up with the "Windows is loading files..." bar that typically comes up on startup repair.
I figured hey, I'll let it do it's thing. It came up with the grey background (The one that it typically loads startup repair on) but it just stayed like that. No box coming up telling me the progress. Nothing, just a screen. The mouse cursor is there and I can move it, but nothing happens.
I thought it might just be slow, went out for a cigarette, came back and nothing had changed. I shut the laptop down and tried to run start up repair. The same thing happened. I shut it down again, pressed ESC and tried to run system recovery. Same thing happened. I tried to run safe mode and the same thing happened again. I tried to run the last known good configuarion and - you guessed it - same thing again.
I have a HP Pavilion g6 with Windows 7 and that's all I know about it. I don't have the windows 7 discs since I left them when I came to uni - it's under warranty but I also left the recipt so I can't take it back either ha.
This is the second time that has happened to me, the first, well i had to reformat because i could not find a solution. When I installed new or older drivers for my nvidia 9800gtx, my vertical refresh doesn't turn off even though it says it is off. It is effecting me within games where i need it off. Any help?
I've got this problem for a while now. Sometimes, out of nowhere my whole computer crashes. And sometimes it doesn't even start up. I've attached one of the latest dumps, the only crash that generated a dump because it's a freeze, not a BSOD or a crash.
Anyone know why having the latest VMWare Player installed, makes you click on your user account at the log on screen after bootup on the Host machine without having a password protected account, when if you didn't, would normally just boot into Windows??
I'm thinking maybe since I didn't set up a password with the installation of my guest Win 7 VM..hmm.
If you prefer the normal way to change the .dll, then this will show you how to: Startup Sound - Change in Windows 7 Below is a and simple trick to change the startup sound for Windows 7 that does not involve changing a dll. So, for anyone who prefers not to tamper with dlls?First (this could be the hardest part): get the sndrec32.exe from Windows XP (just copy it from your old system). On your Windows 7 system, put the sndrec32.exe somewhere you prefer, e.g. in your Programs folder. Run the application once as an administrator and close it so it will register to the Registry. If you don't do this, you might get a warning message every time it runs. Create a shortcut to sndrec32 on your desktop. Right-click the shortcut > Properties > Tab Shortcut. Edit the target: add /embedding /play /close and the path to the wav file you want to be played at startup.E.g., change it to "C:Program Files (x86)sndrec32.exe" /embedding /play /close D:DocumentsMySound.wav Cut the shortcut from the desktop and paste it in your startup folder. (To access the startup folder, click START > All Progams, right-click on Startup > Explore all users ) Disable the normal Windows 7 startup sound. (Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Sounds and uncheck the option "Play Windows Startup Sound") And that's it! What you've done is you have simply told Windows 7 not to use its own startup sound, but to run sndrec32 at startup in invisible mode (embedding), play your wav file and close again. The effect is that you will hear your wave file being played with no lag during startup.
My step dad left my mom and he was the admin on the laptop and i want to play diablo3 but i cant freakin install it cause it pps up with enter the admin password which i dont have and when i ask him for it he wont give it to us like some stupid joke but my mom has programs on here as well so i cant delete anything.
I know I'm in Windows 7 Forum. But Vista Forums does not have a Customization Subforum. I'm just wondering, since you guys are into the shell internals, if anyone has come across a hack to get rid of the Folders section of the Navigation Pane in Vista??
I know I can drag it down to the bottom. But it won't stay there. I move to another location in Explorer and it insists on expanding that stupid Folders section cutting into the space for the Favorites.
This (widely acclaimed) Windows Registry backup utility restores the security feature Microsoft discontinued with Windows 98SE and Windows ME: the ability to retain full daily automatic backups of a user-determined number of registries, as the first (and it should not be the only) line of defense in recovering a 'hosed' system, from registry corruption.Starting with Windows Vista, there has been a compatiblity problem, as noted by Lars Hederer, the utility's author:Quote:Question: Do ERUNT and NTREGOPT run on Windows 7? Answer: ERUNT and NTREGOPT in their current versions 1.1j are still compatible with Windows 7, but as in Vista, they will only work correctly if you turn off User Account Control in Windows' Control Panel (move the slider to the lowest position). ... Future versions of ERUNT and NTREGOPT will of course have these issues fixed. Keep an eye on my homepage for updates. Unfortunately, there have been no "future versions", so users have devised work-arounds, the best known being creating a scheduled-shortcut to the .exe that runs the daily backup, to prevent it from 'hanging' and failing, when Windows' silent prompt (are you sure you really want to run this .exe file, that you just clicked on?) gets no human response. Many users are reluctant to take the author's advice, to just shut off UAC, although this does fix it.
I (hope!) I have found a simpler solution, suitable even for the non-hacker.Install and run this small (85KB) utility, to put UAC in the 'Quiet Mode' -- as shown in the illustration. You should have a Windows Shortcut for eruNT's autoback.exe in the StartUp directory. First, set MS Windows' UAC slider wherever you wish. Then turn on 'Quiet Mode' in the linked utility. Then exit, and don't look again at the UAC slider, as a Windows-bug makes it show an erroneous indication (carefully read the utility's documentation on this point).Just make sure that the shortcut to autoback.exe is set to run its target in Administrative mode, and then set the Target-line as:[CODE]
I am trying to find the registry key that will change the desktop icon size to small.
This is mainly for new users, or for the default user. I have workstations that have several people sharing them and need this for everyone.
I have looked in these locations: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags1DesktopIconSize And HKey_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindowMetricsShell Icon Size I played with both these settings for myself, and the desktop icons do not change. If I reboot, the first key value goes back to 32, and the second key stays at 96. But my icons never change in size. I am looking for any way to do this in the registry. I could try copying the ntuser.dat but fear I will still have issues with paths, and other defaults that will cause the same problem I had originally.
