I need some assitance. I am doing an upgrade from XPP sp2 to Vista Business. I get all the way through to the final reboot and I get a blue screen and the the system reboots. When it comes back up I get a Windows Recovery Error to boot to safe mode etc. I select boot normally and it happens again. This is a never ending cycle. The compatability ran perfectly and there are no problems till it gets to the very end. The blue screen shows the following...

Compatability resolution change
by Guest SteelCadman- 0 replies
- 374 views
I have an application that wont run if the screen resolution is higher that 1024 x 768. Right now I am running Vista Home Premium, with a beautiful Dell 22" Wide FPD, at a resolution of 1680 x 1050. I use this app fairly frequently but I dont want to leave the res at 1024x768. I noticed that the resolution can be temporairily reduced through the compatability tab of an apps link. But 640 x 480 is WAY to low for anything. Is there any way to have the OS temorairily reduce the res to some custom value for the duration of the apps session?

I have a new computer with Vista. And ever since receiving it, I can't view any photos in my email unless I download each one. I USED to be able to see what photos I was receiving. Now, nothing. Works fine on my XP computer. I tried checking Internet Options to be certain the "DISPLAY PHOTOS" was checked. It was.

File Registration on VISTA Question ????
by Guest Superfreak3- 0 replies
- 385 views
We have an install that places some .net .dll's and places some 'stuff' in the registry, etc. The registration 'stuff' is written to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, which I now know is a merge of HKCU/Software/ Classes and HKLM/Software/Classes. On XP all seems OK as the registry information appears under HKCR and HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes (it is only set up under HKCR in the .wsi (Wise installation template file)). Now on VISTA, all looks the same after the install, but our installed PlugIn is seen as not registered by our application. The way I trudged around this was to export the information from HKCU/Software/Classes and import under HKLM. Would anyone k…

Hi! So I simply can't seem to detect my serial port on the hyperterminal, although after using another device, I sensed some communication from my serial device to my pc. In both cases however, I could not see any output on the screens. And I have double-checked to make sure my connections are all ok. Does anyone please know what could be wrong? Thanks, Laure

windows xp reinicia al apagarlo
by Guest Esteve Valentí- 0 replies
- 337 views
Hola. No se que pasa que el windows XP se reinicia al apagarlo. No es un virus ya que acabo de reinstalarlo y no hay internet. Creo que ha sido después de instalar los drivers de un escaner genius que no soporta muy bien wXP ya que en panel de control->escaneres no aparece pero si en el administrador de dispositivos de hardware. No he probado de apagar el reinicio automático en Inicio y recuperación, pero no creo que sea eso ya que no aparece la pantalla azul típica aunque sea un segundo. No podría ser que haya quedado una orden "reboot" en algún archivo .ini del sistema... dónde tendría que buscarla. En que archivo .ini tendria que buscar el "reboot" ?…

multi-purpose chat program built into the OS
by Guest gamelord12- 0 replies
- 355 views
So my girlfriend has a Mac and iChat is built into the OS. It works not only with other iChat users but also with AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, and a variety of others. Why is it that Vista doesn't have a client like that built into the OS? There's Windows Live Messenger, but that doesn't manage other IM clients that my friends use and I can't join in a video chat room where a host of people are all video chatting, rather than just a two-way conversation. Also, I know that programs like Gaim (which now has a new name that escapes me) manage multiple IM clients, but they're not feature complete. I would think that a feature that a competing OS has had for so …

Problems With Sleep Scrambling Desktop Icons
by Guest M C Hamster- 0 replies
- 335 views
I have a new Lenovo Thinkpad X60, running Vista. Every single time that I put the computer into sleep mode, when it wakes up (thank god it does that!), all the desktop icons are scrambled and I have to re-set them manually. My "fix" is simply to never put my laptop into sleep mode, which is moronic of course. (Is this Microsoft's idea of an improvment?) So I wondered if there are any workarounds, other than that particular one. Grrrrrrr. -- M C Hamster "Big Wheel Keep on Turning" -- Creedence Clearwater Revival

Can't add the url to my WSS 3.0 site
by Guest Art Billings- 0 replies

Hi, This one has been plaguing me for awhile now, and I have searched and searched and can't come up with an answer or reason for the behaviour. When working on my Vista Business workstation, I have tried adding the url to my WSS 3.0 document workspace using the "add Network Location" wizard, but it keeps coming back with the following error message after asking for my credentials three times: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another." Now this by itself wouldn't be so bothersome if it was the only "security" problem that was occurring. When I click on a Word or Excel document in the workspace, the corresponding …
