Hi, There, I'm run automation in Windows Server 2008, DEP blocked my program everytime i run it. I have another two machines with the same hardware, windows server 2008 installed. There is no problem when those automation program run at the other two machines. i tried to exclude my automation program from exclusion, but not allowed. I also tried to turn on DEP for essential programs only,...

Not sure if this is the correct group for this assistance but here's the problem. My computer is a Dell XPS 420, Vista Home Premium, my account has administrator privileges. My wife's computer is a Dell Dimension E520, Vista Ultimate, her account has admin privileges. We run OneCare Live for all security and backup needs.

When I try to install Google Earth on my computer (using i.e.8), I get a error message code 0x8004905 and the message which discontinue the installation. Do anyone have any idea what this means and how to correct it?

Hi; We have a problem where one of our customers has installed our software which is an AddIn to Microsoft Office. The registry entries that tell Word where to find this AddIn cannot be accessed by any user, even when the user logs in as administrator and and does a RunAs as the administrator. He is not on a domain and got his computer from BestBuy where they "optimized" Vista for him. One...

Hi; In our installer we want to make sure all users can read the registry entries we set in HKCR & HKLM. Our app is an Office AddIn and these are the settings needed for Office to load the AddIn. It's not sufficient to use the currently running user because in many cases it's an admin installing the program and a different user running it. We also cannot use domain groups because the user may...

I keep getting this pop-up on my new HP laptop. My on-board security tells me it's from an unknown source. What the heck is it? Google search is not turning up many inquiries about this, and no answers; only place to download the thing. My own theory is that Norton, etc put this stuff out to keep you paronoid! Is anyone else getting this?

Vista is offering elevated privileges (UAC) for uninstall and repair, but is _not_ doing so for change. Our uninstall and repair options bring up an elevation prompt. Change does not, and out installer fails as a result. This is via Control Panel / Programs and Features. Is this expected behavior? If so, why? Something we are doing wrong?

The new security model of Vista is nice. But I have the following problem: Some administrative actions cannot be started even if it's run under Domain Admins. e.g. if I am domain admin and type NET STOP SPOOLER as domain admin, you get Access denied on the local Vista system. I then made a shortcut for C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c runas /user:domain\adminuser cmd.exe which will start CMD as...

Hi, I created a backup from uxtheme.dll in system32 folder and patched it afterwards. Now i want to unpatch it because my vista theme is only grey. :( I cannot delete, rename or do anything other with that dll because there is only written: access denied because i haven't got the access authorisation for it.

Hi, I am trying to find a instant messenger that i can go on aim with thats not supported by Parental controls. Currently i am using Pidgin Portable off a u3 flash drive. I would like to know if Parental controls can still log conversations off of Pidgin. Thank you for any help ~Jamal --

I followed the guide http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66966-logon-automatically.html When i did this: *::2.::* In the white line (Start Search) area, type *netplwiz* *or* *control userpasswords2* and press Enter.... nothing happens. I can't get to the User Account window shown on that page.:cry:

I'm getting a pop-up during some (but not all) boot ups in the morning. It gives me the option of allowing it or cancelling it - cancelling means I don't know what the program is and don't want it to load. What the heck is going on? Is this mal-ware? Is it already on my computer? My mal-ware scans with Ad-Aware don't mention it. Nor do scans by Windows Defender. But it's spooky....

How do you edit the file c:\windows\_default.pif? I see it is very well protected.

You paid for BitDefender support with your subscription: What have they had to say about all this? Both Bit Defender and MSRT KB890830 are recognising and deleting the file US30Kbd2K.sys as a trojan - but they are not deleting/modifying the associated registry entries. Have you tried to delete them manually? ...I suspect this version may have come from a P2P source

I imported a personal digital certificate from an XP machine running Outlook Express onto my Vista Home Premium (32 bit) laptop. With the certificate installed, Windows Mail instantly (either when mail is started, or when send/receive is clicked) gives the error message below: "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network...

Somehow one of the standard accounts on my computer was changed to an administrator. Now I can't change it back. I have tried changing it from the account and from another administrator account, and when I click "Change Account Type", nothing happens. Does anyone know why the account type would have changed in the first place, or how to get it to change back? Thanks --

I have a Microsoft Access database runtime application (split front end/back end) that normally runs fine with the backend data file (BackendData.mdb) sitting on a shared network folder. I have been contacted by a user who says he's getting a 'No permission' error when the front-end app tries to write to the BackendData.mdb file in the network folder. He says however that through the...

I recently set up Vista Business on a notebook in an AD domain. Then I added the domain admin account into the *local* administrators account based on this blog: 'Manoj Nagpal's Blog | Add domain user to local vista administrator group' (http://www.manojn.com/blog/post/2008/06/20/Add-domain-user-to-local-vista-administrator-group.aspx) However, I am still required to actually type the...
