I've had a customer have problems installing our program RIP Vinyl (www.ripvinyl.com) on his Vista Home system, but haven't had this from any of our other users. This customer reports that our installer (a wrapper that runs msiexec) gives the error return 1625 which translates as ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_REJECTED As it's not possible (so far as I know) to set a security policy under Vista...

Had to switch off my laptop after a bad program hang, and eventually, when it restarted, chkdsk ran automatically. it then started pumping out hundreds of thousands (350000 or so) of the lines replacing invalid ID with default Security ID for file NNNNN Luckily, things are not too trashed and I can still read my files after manually changing them, and I've done a recent backup, but my...

How does Vista decide that a program is a setup program, and requires elevation? I have some installers that don't actually require elevation, yet they're marked with the little shield icon. Is there a description anywhere of what actually causes elevation? I can't find an explicit list, and have spent days searching Google, msdn, and live.com, to no avail. Does the OS look at the import...

I've been tearing my hair out for the last week trying to characterize why I can't connect my Vista Laptop to another PC that requests remote assistance. Maybe someone here can elighten me (and anyone else with this problem). I have an internal network connected to a NetGear router. There's a couple of XP machines (XP1 and XP2) and a Vista Machine V1. Now, V1 can request remote assistance...

Happy new year everyone, I'm using the 64bit version of Vista Ultimate, I have an ethernet connection to a cable modem & no home network, IPv6 is disabled. When I set the firewall to block all outbound connections but allow a few exceptions, the programs exempted from this rule can't access the internet any longer for example Internet Explorer, Windows Mail etc, irrespective of what profile...

Downoaded MSSE for both XP and Win7 64bit. It runs fine on Win7 but on XP I am seeing as high as 100% cpu spike just from opening a folder. That is NFG Microsoft. Apart from that it seems good but would it have been too much trouble to give a quick right click menu item in the system tray to shut it down for us gamers? I created 2 .bat files that I can stop and start it with but I shouldn't...

How do I get rid of the side-by-side configuration is incorrect, is there any body out there that can explain it, thank you.

OK, here's one for you all. I had installed two other antivirus programs onto my computer, RoadRunner and McAfee. I uninstalled these two programs because they really slowed down my computer. Now, it seems that even though I uninstalled the software, it seems that the firewalls for both the RoadRunner and McAfee are still on. And I think it's because of this that the Windows Update is not...

Hi, Can anyone provide a suggestion to get BitLocker enabled with TPM support on a Gateway computer? I have Vista RC1 installed on a Gateway M280. The M280 has a Broadcom TPM 1.2 chip that is installed properly according to Device Manager. However, the TPM managment console, BitLocker Control Panel applet, and the "manage-bde.wsf" script will not recongize the chip. All other devices are...

My new gateway laptop with preinstalled vista home premium has McAfee internet security suite 7.1 preinstalled. I hate McAfee personally and would rather not use it, however, there seems to be a lot of conflict between vista and other anti-malware programs. What do you recommend and what works? Also, if I'm installing/reconfiguring/etc while disconnected from the internet, would it be safe...

Hello. I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. I used to create policies on my old laptop(XP Pro) using gpedit.msc to block all *.exe files from running except of those in C: partition(my Windows partition). I did this to prevent me(or whoever using my laptop) from accidentally run viruses from usb drives, well there is no need for me to run *.exe files from there...
