I click on the bubble that pops up and it either goes away or the configfree selection box pops up. this has been happening since I installed the Winows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) update a few days ago. what did it (the...

I have an application installed on the C: drive, but Vista is on H: drive. The application on C:, was installled from Vista, and runs without problems, except for one. Specifically, the app updates the data it uses via Internet download, then runs an update .exe locally. When I try to apply the updates, the updater app stops with a "Access Denied" error, showing the path to the file with...

Hello, I installed Vista about a month ago, and since the beginning I have this strange issue: after some hours (between 10 and 30 approx.) my computer is not able to create any TCP connection for from 30 to 180 minutes. I don't know the cause of this problem but here are the symptoms: - if I try to open any TCP connection, for instance my browser to www.google.fr, I get "access denied...

Hi all, I have an encrypted folder on my Vista-SP2-PC. From one day to the next, the files in there could not be opened anymore; I am now getting an "Access is denied"-error. Now, I know about certificates, and the need to have exactly the cert. available with which the encryption was done, and it is there, and still valid (not expired). Nothing has changed with my user account, I am still...

In my Inetpub\wwwroot directory's subdirectories, I am trying to lock a web app so that I must use Windows Authentication and log in as myself to access a locally hosted web site. For some strange reason, I cannot enter the Advanced security settings so that I can disable inherited security and remove the permissions granted to everyone. Is there some reason why the Advanced button is...

Hi, more a "nice to know" question he After doing an upgrade from XP SP2 to Vista RTM, it seems what was previously "C:\Documents and Settings" is now C:\Users, but the folder "C:\Documents and Settings" is still there. Running cmd.exe as Administrator or normal user, "dir "C:\Documents and Settings"" just says File Not Found. NTFS messed up? Or is Documents and Settings still used by...

temporary internet files ("tif") are laced with scumware - viruses, trojans, data miners, .... as i understand the concept of "delete," the file is not erased but rather merely that its pointer is removed from the ntfs. therefore i ask, if i "delete temporary internet files" without first scanning them (with od av or od antimalware), can the scumware contained therein still be active and...

I'm sure there's some simple explanation for this, but I'm currently stumped. If I open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and type "dir c:\windows\system32" in my Vista Ultimate x64 install, it shows that I have roughly 2300 files there. However, if I open a 4NT window (an alternate command shell by JPSoft Inc.) -- whether it's as myself or when choosing "Run as administrator" -- and type the same...

I've tried to convert my hard drive to nfts, and it says that the drive is already in that format. When i try to encrypt a file or folder, the "encrypt contents to secure data" box" is unclickable.... What's wrong? 0_o

I'm have a problem getting the printers to show up in Print Management MMC. I need to change File and Printer Sharing's exception (those 4 ports) scope from "local subnet" to "Any computer". It was easy in XP - I could click on the "Edit" button and choose "change scope" button and do the job. But not in Vista. There is no "Edit" button. "File and printer sharing" firewall exception...

What do they really mean by this? I was able to shut down a server with no users having this user right, using terminal services. I took everyone out of this user right, and I refreshed the policy then connected to the server via terminal services, and proceeded to shut it down, no problem. What kind of tool does this policy expect the remote user is going to be using to accomplish the...

Hello. I have recently installed Vista Business on a Dell Optiplex. Whenever I access a particular application, a message box tells me that "A program can't display a message on your desktop." The details on the message box say that there is a partial incompatibility with Vista. I can close the message box, but it continues to pop up every few minutes. The application program seems to work...

I have a Linux-based NAS running Samba with user-level password protection (the same userid and password as Vista). I can browse files, etc., but I am unable to run any executable files. UAC prompts me for approval, but then give me a "Login failu unknown username or bad password" error. It must be a UAC issue because I have no problems when I turn UAC off, but I'd like to leave it...
