This is an issue related to IE 7 on Vista OS. Whenever user clicks a link that opens a new window using window.open, parent window throws JavaScript exception with message "window object is null or undefined. Do you want to continue?" But this works fine on IE 6 (or IE 7) in other OS like Windows XP. In Vista, if we disable the "Protected Mode" option in IE settings, then this error is...

I'm running Vista Home Premium. I also use Sunbelt CounterSpy 2.5 for anti-spyware and BitDefender 2008 AV for antivirus. Since Windows Defender's real-time protection would conflict with CounterSpy, there's an option in CounterSpy to disable Windows Defender. However, at some point when I was using Windows Defender to check out the Software Explorer, I took a look at the options and noticed...

Hi, I just figured out the reason for my extremely slow DNS lookups. It is Base Filtering Engine service in Vista. If I stop this service, everything runs at blazing speed. As soon as I start it again, when I try to go to a web site for the first time in that windows login session, it takes about 10-20 seconds for the "Looking for www.somewhere.com" message to disappear in Firefox, and after...

Hello, In my Windows Security Center I see the following messages: "Multiple antivirus programs report that they are turned on and up to date" "Windows Defender and Kaspersky Anti-Virus both report that they are turned on" However, I only have one installed now (AVG). I did have Kaspersky installed, but I uninstalled it. Windows Security still thinks it is

I have McAfee and was told thru this community that it is not compatible with Vista. A friend told me to get Avast, which is a free download. What is your position on this Avast and is it compatible with Vista? -- dsmith

I have a brand new Dell Vostro 1700 laptop. I re-installed Vista Business yesterday, loaded on AVG anti virus. All was ok. Today, AVG won't update, I can't browse to microsoft.com (+others), and Windows Update failes with code 8024402C. All other machines on my network (wireless) are working ok, it's just this one machine running vista (all others xp). I can ping microsoft.com, but it...

When I purchased my laptop recently I was sold a Norton 360 package which includes a variety of things and I thought one of those things was Virus Protection. However, it appears that this wasn't included as I continued to get Windows Security Alerts saying that I was not protected! I have since purchased from the Norton site a further package which I believe I have installed correctly...

It is safe to say that the constant nagging of the UAC is unbearable... i have a mac too and it's a nuissance to have to put your whole password every now and then but it is nothing compared to Vista's UAC... So ... How safe is putting UAC in quiet mode? AND will the UAC nagging be fixed a little bit in SP1.

When needed, I would like to be able to boot my pc so I have absolutely FULL adminstrator privileges, i.e. so I'm not questionned about the tasks I'd like to perform. Case in point: I would like to delete the "My Pictures" folder in "My Documents". "My Documents" is located on my D-partition. However, when I try to delete, I'm sometimes told I need Adminstrator rights or sometimes that I...

In Windows Vista I enabled pagefile encryption with EFS (via secpol.msc - Public Key Policies - Encrypting File System - Properties - Enable pagefile encryption) and rebooted Windows but pagefile.sys is still black. Why doesn't it become green like my other EFS encrypted files? how can I be sure that it's encrypted?

Hi, I've got a Canon LBP5200 laser printer. Since getting a new PC with Vista Home loaded I've had problems with the printer. Got the correct driver from Canon installed and the printer works but takes forever to spool & start printing. Checked with Canon support and all the printer configuration settings are as they recommend - they couldn't recreate the problem but suggested a firewall...

Hello all, We have a test web server (XP/IIS) at work, set up to accept connections on port 8080. All of our clients (XP and Mac OS) connects perfectly, except for the 4 vista laptops we have. All of them suffers the same fate: An endless wait for connection that never succeeds... (Waiting for connection...) Some keywords: All machines on the same subnet No domain / AD. Just plain workgroups...

Hello everyone, I'm seeking for a solution of unusual problem with Vista Ultimate 32. Storyline: Few days ago resinstalled my dual setup (Vista+XP) due to a necessity to re-mount my RAID0 setup. Vista installed well, + all updates including the optional ones. Problems started when I decided to update Intel's Chipset (INF

Smiles everyone. Am running a solar-powered, rocket-propelled Windows Vista Home Basic operating system. Norton Internet Security 2007 pre-installed by OEM for my benefit. So Vista has DEP available for Vista but is off by default because of backwards compatibility I read. I put it up for awhile to protect essential Windows and for IE7 to "help mitigate against online attacks". Noticed...
