PatchGuard and Vista x86 by Lorne Smith
Question... What with all the recent furore over PatchGuard in Vista x64 and Symantec & McAfee's inability to do what Kapersky and Sapho's do, I found myself wondering something... WHY is there no PatchGuard in the 32bit version? I saw a vague mention about backwards compatibility, but pfft to that I say. Properly written software doesn't need kernel access, and quite frankly, I'd like my...

Trend's PC-cillin Internet Security--now updated by k_fonda
Has anybody noticed that Trend has updated their Beta suite and it now does not expire untill 12-31-06 (was originally going to expire the end of Octiober). It supposedly works with any version of Vista and is now version 14.56 (used to be 14.55). I like OneCare Beta but there are a lot of people who used Trend which did not work with RC2 so this should make them happy. Just wanted to give a...

UAC and permissions on HKLM registry by Doug Walch
In the XP environment, we have an asset management program that sucks the machines serial number out of the BIOS, and subsequently writes the value to the registry in the HKLM hive. I'm wondering if this will be possible with VISTA AND UAC. Will it be necessary to change the permissions on the specific registry key (during the imaging process) in order for this to occur without the user...

ANS: "What's the deal with UAC (Windows Needs Your Permission scre by Tim
Jimmy, Maybe you can help me...I'm trying to install HP Printer driver and software. I'm logged in as Administrator and running RC2. The install fails with an error of "Can't use 'run as administrator' to install this software". It gives the same error if I actually use the "run as administrator" switch to run it. Any ideas?

Blocked Startup Programs not Blocked by cvp
(Vista RC1-64)I added a program (Highpoint Raid Manager) into the startup folder. Now Windows defender tells me on boot that it has blocked the program which it shows as "Not Yet Classified". In fact it hasn't blocked it at all (which is good!) If I try to select the program in the Software Explorer list of startup programs, I'm only offered the options of "Remove" or "Disable". How am I...

Can UAC settings be made permanent? by Pirate Pete
I participate in the Stanford University "protein folding" distributed computing project. I need to run a command line program called FAH502-Console.exe. I put it in a directory in Program Files, put a shortcut on the desktop and marked the shortcut "Run as Administrator." When I click on the shortcut icon, I still get two warnings every time I run the program: an unknown publisher...

ISA 2004 Authentication by Julian Stone
I applogise if this has been asked\answered before but: From my vista rc2 workstation, whenever I attempt to browse the web etc. I'm presented with a proxy server authentication box. In some respects this is to be expected as our systems require authentication to use the ISA 2004 server, but no matter what combination of username\password I use, authentication always fails. That is until I...

Firewalls for Vista by MB@MI, USA
What aftermarket firewalls function properly under Vista? Dont get me wrong, I feel Microsoft has done a great job with thier built-in firewall, but as an advanced user I much prefer two features to my firewall: a) easier rule implimentations/port allowances/etc, and b) the ability to either view live or view logs of actual packet/ip/transport information. Under normal circumstances I have...

AV and Firewall apps by Kuane
Can someone provide a list of which AV and Firewall apps work with Vista 5728? I read the post concerning AVG Free needing to be installed using Compatability mode but was curious what else may be available. I always preffered Zone Alarm but when I attempt to install v 6.5.722 I get the error message this product has issues with Windows Vista. TIA,
