Can a second Vista install be put on another partition then treated like a new C drive

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:48:20 GMT

I have been looking into partitioning my hard drive. I've not done this before, but the how to doesn't seem that difficult to find (some google searches led me to ways to use Vista to do this).

But I was considering doing this in hopes of installing a second copy of my operating system on what I have believed (of partitioning) to now would be effectively treated like a seperate hard drive. This was in part as a "last hope desperate" effort to escape a persistant problem I've been unable to fix for quite a long time without reformatting the drive and losing all that is on it.

The persistant problem is my inability to install service pack 1 (which prevents 2 as well). That issue led me to repair install and then use of the scannow tool. The log in there identified two files that simply refuse to be replaced during the repair install. I had thought it because of a corrupt sector on the harddrive, but a check of drive for errors did not reveal any.

I stopped trying around the point that the next step was messing with the registry because I don't know what to do in there and don't wish to cause worse problems by guessing. All I could think to do without reformatting and losing everything was to halfway start from scratch, doing a fresh install to a second partition, and moving things one by one to it.

But an article I found about whether to partition claimed that a number of programs may insist on installation to C drive, and that even if they didn't, it may make entries in the registry which would remain on C. I don't know if you could remap and thus call your new partition C and circumvent the issue that way or not. Essentially, I don't know enough to say whether my idea (basically a dual boot that treats the new partition as C) is possible, practical, or isolated enough that if it were some kind of virus damage, the original couldn't reach across partitions to do the same to my new installation. In other words, if the whole concept is feasible at all.

So my first question I guess is if a true installation of the operating system can be done to a second partition. As in second registry which that copy of the operating system would use instead of the original on C.

Second, is a remapping (renaming essentially, right?) of the partition letters to make a new C possible? Is it necessary?

Finally, isolation. Can any program run under either operating system from either partition see the other partition and access it? If so, does such cross partition access require cooperation (read as permission) from the user. More to the point, can you prevent cross partition access, effectively isolating the two installations from one another?

Any help clarifying these matters would be greatly appreciated. read more

Why do screensavers often not go on correctly?

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:05:06 GMT

For example - if you put the screensaver to go on with for example 1min of idleness it often will not go on correctly. Suppose you go on to the computer to check emails and you don't move the mouse or the keyboard for 1min - it will usually go on correctly. But if you move the mouse or keyboard to take the screensaver off because you are busy checking the emails - they supposedly call that a "rapid dismissal" of the screensaver. The other occasions that the screensaver goes on - if you do other "rapid dismissals" - the screensaver often does not go back on in 1min and it goes on in like 1min + 60sec or something like that. If you do it again - move the mouse or keyboard to take the screensaver off - it again does not go on in the 1min and instead goes on in like 1min60sec + 60sec or something like that. And if you let the screensaver go on and not try to take it off - it seems to go back on with the regular 1min the way you put it.

Somewhere on some websites they said that it is the computer or Internet Explorer that "assumes" that if you do a rapid dismissal of the screensaver - it assumes that it is because you prefer that it not go on right away and purposely modifies the regular 1min and makes it like 1min + some seconds like in the example and it does that quite often. Also if you let it go on and not do any rapid dismissals of it - the computer or Internet Explorer puts it back to its regular 1min to go on the way you put it.

Therefore....

A - Why do screensavers often not go on the way they are put to go on?
B - Is there a way to make them always go on consistently the way you put them to go on?

Lost Automatic Launch of Quicken on Transaction Download

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:05:07 GMT

I recently ran a scan from Kaspersky Antivirus. It identified several conditions which were potential security exposures and gave the option of having them fixed. I went ahead with them, but misplaced my notes as to what parameters were changed.

Prior to this, I would routinely download transactions from my bank and credit card accounts, which would carry out the download and then, with no intervention, Quicken would be launched and would receive the downloaded file.

Since the changes were made, the download no longer launches Quicken but instead gives me the choice of saving the new transaction file or cancelling the process. (This is not a major issue, since I figured out that all I have to do to get the desired result is save the file on my desktop and double click the new icon, which in fact launches Quicken and leaves me at the same point that I previously got to automatically).

But I'd like to determine what parameter(s) might have been modified to cause this change so I can put it back the way it was before. read more

Autoplay problem

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:00:51 GMT

I have Vista 64 Home Preminum and I recently discovered that my autoplay no longer show up on screen when I insert and external drive on the USB ports, CD/DVD and SD cards like it used to. The autoplay would just flash up on screen for a split second and disappear.

I can access my files manually by clicking it. When I right click the drive to Open with Autoplay, it would flash up a split second then disappears as well. I have checked everything
- Shell Hardware is running
- Control panel Autoplay Settings has been reset to defaults, unchecked the Autoplay for all media & devices then save then checked it again to enable it
- checked the registries are set correctly which they are to enable Autoplay to run

The strange thing is if I was to select Open folder to view files using windows explorer for the CD/DVD (only for this device), it would immediately show the files from the CD/DVD without a problem but if I was to select any of the others, nothing would happen except for the split second show up on the screen.

I've been trying to figure out how to fix this problem for the last few days and have been unsuccessful so I'm now hoping someone here can help me out. I cannot tell you when this problem started and I have tried doing a System Restore going back only a few days ago which was not far back enough for me to succeed unfortunately. Is there a way I can restore Autoplay using the Vista Recovery disk? Or do I have to do a clean installation? Other than this problem, everything seems to be working OK.

I have search in a lot of places for this solution and have not been able to find one so maybe someone here can help me out. Thanks. read more

Windows Mail thinks this message is suspicious .... HELP!

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:00:52 GMT

For the past couple weeks, whenever I send an email to a couple friends using Windows Mail they get a message that says "Windows Mail thinks this message is suspicious and has blocked it. Images and links have been blocked for your safety. If you think this mail is not fraudulent, use the unblock button to access it".

They have added me and my server (bellsouth.net) to their safe senders lists and made sure I'm not on their blocked senders list yet they still get the message. I'm not even sending attachments. And it happens even when I reply to their emails. We've been emailing back and forth for years so I don't know why it started now.

This problem appears to have started about the same time I got my new Mac. I set up my new Mac using a backup so everything on the new computer is exactly the same as with the old one. Neither of my friends (who are using PC's) have knowingly done upgrades to anything that might be causing this but since the upgrades are automatic they may not know it. I think both have Vista and are using IE8 and of course Windows Mail.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance!

As of 5/2/11 still no resolution and no response! Please help!

Microsoft SAPI 5 Mary on Vista 64

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:01:14 GMT

Can anyone definitively report whether the Microsoft Mary SAPI 5 voice will work on 64-bit Vista or Windows 7?

I can't find any definitive response to this question. I understand why the SAPI 4 Mary won't work on 64-bit Vista, because the Microsoft SAPI 4 engine is 32-bit, and isn't the same standard as SAPI 5. But SAPI 5 voices (not engines), from non-Microsoft vendors which worked under 32-bit Windows will still work under 64-bit Windows, specifically Vista 64, because I've gotten them to work.

However, even if one installs the entire approximately 68 Mb SAPI 5.1 SDK, on 64-bit Vista, while one can see the Mary and Mike voices listed with any other SAPI 5 voices, the Mary and Mike voices fail to work. There's just nothing... no speech whatsoever. This seems rather strange, since other SAPI 5 voices in the same list work fine.

Microsoft obviously has no plans to address this, or some solution would be out there. Microsoft's answer is to apparently move on to SAPI 5.3, which is supposed to be backward compatible to earlier versions of SAPI 5, yet their own Mike and Mary voices won't work in Vista 64. All they seem to care about is Microsoft Anna, which may sound more natural to some people, but Mary and Mike were good enough for many users, and far more responsive.

I don't have access to a Windows 7 machine, but I've read one can run its speech control panel under the 64-bit version and get it to see and use 32-bit speech engines and their voices, so if anyone can shed any light on this as far as getting Mary to work on 64-bit Windows 7, I'd appreciate hearing of this.

I'd particularly hope to hear from someone with Microsoft about why they have no intentions to at least keep SAPI 5 Mike and Mary working under their 64-bit operating systems. Users should have more free options besides just Anna.

webmail draft saver

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:01:47 GMT

11-5-2010

I would like to be able to turn off the webmail draft feature. My computer automatically saves a draft whether you want it or not.
I prefer to "save as", but I am not able to, once the draft comes on after typing only a few lines.

Once this occurs, I can never print or view, email or send the entire email, but only the part which is visable in the box where I
am typing. I can find nowhere to change the draft setting, and I do not click "save draft". So once that automatic draft comes on,
I cannot use it for anything. I am ready to tear my hair out.

Thank you,

Need help getting TV tuner card to work

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:02:01 GMT

I am just your average computer user, and I have found myself way in over my head when it comes to getting TV on my computer monitor. I have a 2 yr old Gateway GM 5470E that came with a ViXS Pure TV-U 4899 (NTSC/ATSC Combo) tuner and Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I tried to setup the tuner through Windows Media Center, but all I get is static- although the tv station current program appear. I have Time Warner Cable for internet, and TV. The cable from the wall is attached to the modem provided by the cable company and then the modem is connected to my computer with the usual telephone-type cords.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could explain to me how to configure these cords and equipment so that I can make use of the tv tuner that came with my computer. I understand that I may also need to update the drivers, but I would like to know that I have things connected correctly before I begin with driver updates. Please help, I'm driving myself dizzy and getting nowhere. read more

Windows Cannot find a network

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:02:36 GMT

Its been 2 days since I last used the internet on my laptop.

I have an ACER ASPIRE 7535G laptop which is just under a year old. I bought it last September. It has all worked fine but recently started running slow especially on the internet. Internet Explorer browser used to randomly 'Not Respond' then shut down.

After defrag of the computer and virus scans etc Norton Antivirus recommended a clean up of programmes at start up. Since doing this my laptop cannot find any wireless network to connect to. Other laptops in the house and the home computer connects fine with the wireless router. As did my laptop until the day before the clean up. Before the clean uparound 10 wireless routers were found which I'm assuming are in neighbouring buildings. I also have no vista dvd/cd installation as my computer came fully set up with everything needed. Please help

I've searched the net to find a solution but had no success. I'm not very good (at all) with computers either.

Can anybody please help me get an internet connection!

Windows Calendar

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:02:53 GMT

Greetings. My problem is that my Windows Calendar keeps "spreading". In other words, a few hours after I open it in the week/seven day format, the Calendar will (completely on its own) expand its columns so that I end up with wider days. This is NOT a change from "week" to "work week" since (1) it is about five and a half days; and (2) I cannot access all of the days, because the last frame goes "off-screen". In other words, I don't think this is normal. I can easily repair it by clicking off the Calendar and bringing it back up; it always returns in proper seven-day format. But that seems to be a bit of a hassle as a solution. I have used Windows Calendar for about eighteen months, and this problem started only during the last two months or so. It is, however, constant: every time I have the Calendar up for an hour or so, it shifts into the wider mode. If it helps, I run Windows Vista Home Premium SP 1. Thanks for any help you can offer. --Paul read more

Sims 2 Apartment Life Wont Play

After playing with this expansion pack for months now, now it wont start and I really need help. Here is what happens:

- I put the CD in, appears that Auto Run thingy and then I click on "Play" and it tells me to put the CD in.

I've tried to restart my computer, put other CDs and they work but my computer just won't recognize that expansion pack!

I can't uninstall and install again because I have really important things in there I cant lose no matter what.

Its weird because when I go into "My Computer" the CD is there, and if I click on it appears the folder that's in the Cd but when I try to run the game my computer tells me to put the Cd in! ugh its so annoying I have no idea why this is happening.

Please help! thanks

80070005 errors

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:03:23 GMT

I'm trying to register a com object with 64 bit vista.

I get: The module "C:\Windows\System32\scrobj.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.

Googling 80070005 leads me to believe that the error is caused by the operating system. I've also triple checked whether the file I'm trying to register is mistake free, and it can be registered/unregistered at will on a machine not using 64 bit vista.

Is there a fix for this or did microsoft let me buy vista, then not help me fix it so that it can perform tasks which it is supposed to perform, then end support altogether for the OS (july 13th 2010), and then want $120 for their cheapest iteration of windows 7? read more

Backup & Restore Center - Vista

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:03:24 GMT

I cannot open the B & R Center in Vista. I am operating in safe mode with networking. I was attacked yesterday by System32/Heur and associated viruses and had hades getting rid of it. I am 95% sure I finally did by running malwarebytes anti-malware in quick scan. It found 16 infections and says it got rid of them. AVG 9.0 kept telling me it put them in the vault but it never did so I used MWB as described and the alerts have not returned.

I then ran the MWB full scan twice and both times it game me a clean bill of helath, but I am taking no chances. I want to do a backup now to my external hard drive, and even though I have the B &R Center shortcut showing on my start menu it will nto open. So I typed in "backup" in search and tried it that way, still no joy. I right clicked the icon and went to "File location" and it took me to Control Panel but I cannot find the B&R Center anywhere in the CP.

Is this problem because I am in safe mode? I would think that B&R would surely operate in safe mode. Did the virus delete my B&R Center? Thank you for any reccomendations you may have to offer. read more

WS Scan Event fails with destination Unreachable

WIreless Network Removal

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:03:50 GMT

I have Windows Vista 64 bit version and have a problem with wireless Internet connections. When I go to connect I have two connections available (both mine). One I do not remember where, when or how I set it up. The other, I set up when I recently got a D-Link DIR-615 Wireless router. The first one is an Un-secure connection. I can click on it and it tells me I am connected. I do not know to what as I cannot access the Internet with that connection. The new one is set up Secured, but I cannot get it to connect, but that is another problem. I thought the first one was an ad-hoc connection, but nowhere does it show as such. I even added an ad-hoc to compare. As soon as I disconnected that one, it went away. How can I get rid of this thing? In Network Sharing, Manage Wireless Networks, it is not listed. Only the new one is. Thanks in advance for any and all help you can offer,

I have a problem with Powermanagement(Speedstep), which will not work as long as the mouse is plugged in. I have no other problems with the mouse. In device manager, mouse and keyboard are enabled to allow both to wake computer. In USB Hub/ properties, the check box to enable machice to turn off this device to save power is not checked. I have tried other mice devices and all have this same problem. I have also done a clean install but the problem remains the same. Now, i have read thet there are some issues with mice and powermanagement, but i never had this problem when i first got the computer. 5 months later my computer restarted itself and when i signed in, i got a windows box telling me to check for a solution. The problem was bluescreen and this happened a couple of days later. Even after a clean install, i still have the problem. So i`m hoping someone on here may have a resolution. Thanks in advance.

Vista and MSN Premium compatible?

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:12 GMT

I really like MSN Mail (aka MSN Premium).

One can view all ones emails on one page and it's spell-check works well with Office 2003. It also has a cool feature to imbed photos directly in the emails.

I downloaded Live Mail, but it wiped all my saved emails off the server and it was a disaster, so I would like to just use MSN Mail.

MSN Mail works great with my computer with XP, but it's been nothing but trouble with my VISTA.

I found old references that indicated that MSN (Premium) Mail software was not compatible with VISTA.

Is this the case or has it changed? I found old posts here that says it works with 9.5 but not the 9.6 upgrade.

Does anyone know if this is still the case?

The problems I have with MSN Mail and VISTA is that it doesn't synch properly with mail on the server. Sometimes it will work or a few days, then I quit getting emails. Yet they're are available on Hotmail and on the computer that has MSN Mail with XP.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Corrupt Files Not Repaired By SFC

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:13 GMT

I ran SFC /SCANNOW and was told some files could not be repaired.I opened the CBS.log file and as far as I could see the only files that were not repaired were as follows:

1.WUDFx.dll

2.WUDFx.mof

3.WUDFxUninstall.mof

4.adcjavas.inc

5.adojavas.inc

6.iprtprio.dll

I hope I did not miss anything in the log file-I scrolled through it and it took for ever to get to the end.

One other thing I did, which I suspect was stupid of me, was to take ownership of the complete Windows folder, instead of just the CBS.log file.

Having done the above I found that my System Restore Points had gone, so I created a new one.

I would much appreciate advice as to what I can do about the above issues.

Thanks and regards,

Robocopy xp026 vs xp027 running on Vista

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:13 GMT

Is anyone aware of any limitations of running xp026 on vista 32 or 64 bit OS's? I can't find any documentation on this so I don't know if the new version put out with Vista(xp027) is a fix release or compatability release. I should note that xp026 will work fine on both Vista OS's but I'd like to know if xp026 sacrifices an forensic integrity on copying data.

Credential Provider: Can we implement 'Switch User' functionality in credential provider?

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:18 GMT

Hi,

I am implementing a Credential Provider in which I want to switch to Microsoft Default Credential Provider if an error message is faced while performing windows logon/ unlock operation using my credential provider.

Using ICredentialProviderCredential::ReportResult() function i am able to display the error message. Can there be some functionality in the Credential Provider so that is switches to MS Default Credential Provider if a particular error is faced.

Thanks in anticipation,

How to add attachment column in Microsofts email clients when using imap and special folders

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:33 GMT

Hi,

Hope someone here can help me solve my little "problem".

I have tried this and the same thing happens in Outlook Express, Outlook 2000-2007, Windows Mail and last Windows Live Mail (windows7).

I use IMAP for my email account. Since I want to be able to see the emails I send, I use the option "store special folders on the IMAP server".

The folder for sent emails is by my provider named 'Sent', so I change the the special folder from "Sent Items" to "Sent".

So far all well. When I send email the get stored in the correct folders, but here is where my problem comes; when I select the sent folder, there is no column for attachments (the binderthingy) and it is not available when I try to add it. The strange thing is that the 3 other special folders that I changed the name for also, have the attachment column. So the problem seem to be only with the Sent folder.

So, basically my question is; how can I get the attachment column in the sent folder? Via registry maby?

Best Regards,

//Kenneth

Create Custom Event Source by turing UAC ON in Windows VISTA

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:34 GMT

Hi,

We have a WPF Windows Application and this application would be used by all our client having VISTA OS. For any error occured, system will create an entry in Application event log using the custom event source - "Application Manager". When the User Access Control (UAC) is turned ON, VISTA does not allow to register custom event source in the registry. But this works well when the UAC is turned OFF.

Is there any way where in we can create a custom event source (on the fly/programatically) with UAC turned ON?

Note: Our application gets installed using "Click Once".

WMI SNMP Provider - simple question ...

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:39 GMT

I'm a newbe in WMI SNMP provider configuration.

I'm trying to monitor IFtable using MIB II (1213 ) of a switch , while the MIB IIis already resides in the SMIR ( by default). I'm trying to monitor a switch and a certain compter ,which support MIB 1213.

I had windows 2000 server. after I used "mofcomp " command on a simple mof file ( which included insertion of "instance of __SNMPMacro" script ) , i got automatiacally the Path in the CIM studio:

root\snmp\mySwitch\MIB_1213_IfTable

Therefore , I Could monitor the switch easliy using this standard mib ( which is what I Need)

While I'm using Vista or Windows server 2003 , I cannot get this path in the provider Path! the Provider ( ie.g: my Switch) does not have SnmpMacro in its classes (as it displayed in the CIM STUDIO) and therefore I cannot monitor it

I tough the transition from windows 2000 to vista or 2003 woul;d be transparent

SOmeone can help me ?

What did I do wrong ?

I can I monitor managed object ( Swich or even computer) eusing MIB 1213 easily

It's very urgent ....

Thanx

My Documents & My Pictures

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:44 GMT

Hi this is my first post here so I hope I am doing this correctly.

I am really at loose ends with this one and have finally given in trying to figure out what has gone wrong.

I partitioned my hard drive to have an additional drive for my data (why vendors don't do this to begin with is beyond me) any hoo!! So I have C:\ for applications/programs and F:\ for data. My next step was to move My Documents and My Pictures to the data drive. I did the usual on the Location tab I browsed to the desired location and used the move option that worked as per normal. My Pictures and My Documents are now at the root of F:\ as I wanted job done!!

Not quite now when I look in the start menu or folder list I see not 1 but 3 My Documents 2 with the lovely blue folders and one with a normal yellow folder. Originally I saw in the start menu F:\Data twice for both my documents and my pictures with a lot of playing around I have managed to make it display My Documents but when I select display my pictures it displays another my documents? Not too sure what has happened there?? I am thinking I should have moved My Pictures to inside My Documents and I have now confused poor Vista but it will not alow me to move any of these folders now so I am where I am I suppose.

I have tried deleting one of the My Documents but that stops me from accessing any of the My Documents folders/links. Functional my computer is working fine but it is just irritating that I have so many links to My Documents and besides doing a repair or rebuild I thought maybe someone else has had this problem and will be able to advise me how to resolve it.

Thanks in advance for any sound advice given. read more

DCOM on Windows Vista

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:04:44 GMT

Hello,

I have an EXE COM Server that runs as a restricted user on Vista. Upon starting the Server, it registers a COM object under HKCU\Software\Classes (it does not have permissions to register it under HKCR). The registered pieces includes the clsid, interfaces, typelib, etc within respective Subkeys under HKCU\Software\Classes.

At runtime however, I noticed that the EXE COM Server is unable to export an interface to a remote client. I figured this was because the COM runtime does not seem to consult HKCU\Software\Classes\Interface\ and hence reports the "Interface not supported" error upon not finding a marshaler to export that interface.

I don't see this problem on prior versions of Windows (including XP) where the COM runtime does consult the HKCU keys (upon failing to locate the Interface under HKCR) and finds the interface and it's marshaling information registered there.

Does anyone know of any COM/DCOM changes in Vista that prevent the COM runtime from consulting HKCU in addition to HKCR.

Thanks
Ranjit
