If you have not changed your partitioning scheme since you unencrypted the drive it is probalby just a matter of no contiguous disk space. I ran into the same thing. To solve it I defragmented the drive (righ-click the drive, select properties, click tools) and deleted a few files I did not need any more. BitLocker hogs a lot of disk space when it first encrypts, and it does not seem very...

I have installed Vista in my network with OneCare. The windows firewall is disabled, the ICMPv4 inbound is enabled in OneCare Firewall, however I still cannot ping myself by IP address. The strange thing is sometimes I didn't change anything and it can ping itself, it's also pingable by other nodes in the same network, but when I really want to access it from other workstations, it cannot...

Vista Home Premium Internet Explorer Problems I frequently loose connectivity to the internet while reviewing a long BB posting or inactive for long periods. The only way to get reconnected is to restart my new HP 7760 PC. Meanwhile my wife is Happily Surfing the internet in the kitchen on her new iMac 20. We are both on the same LAN, behind the same router that is connected to the high...

I uninstalled NIS (with Symanec website uninstall tool) to try OneCare. I keep getting the window to update Malware, etc... When I check to see what security programs I have running, Norton still shows. How do I completely get rid of it?

Has anyone looked at the GPOs created by the Vista Security Guide and found that some settings appear not to have admx template files associated with them? When I view the VSG EC Desktop, Laptop, and Users policies in GPMC on a Vista computer, I see an "Extra Registry Settings" category under Administrative templates. If I expand this category, I see a number of registry settings in the...

I have just installed NIS (vista compatible version) and all went well. It installed fine and it runs fine. It updates fine... .... But I am having a small problem. If I go to the security centre in control panels it ALWAYS shows it as "might be out of date"? I know that NIS 2007 is up to date because I ran live updates. I wondered what could be causing this. I know there is a LOT of Symantec...

Does a group Policy exist to allow users to disable Wireless Network adapters without the UAC logon popup. It is preferred that network be disabled when not in use while in the wild. Ideas??? Thanks in advance.

Hi, When I go to the security check tab of a folder or file I want to encrypt it is greyed out. Home Premium doesn't come with built in encryption? Thanks in advance. Eric

I downloaded Norton Anti Virus. The LiveUpdates were successfuly installed. When I launch the Norton Status, this is what shows at the top of the interface; "Norton Anti Virus needs to be configured". When I click on the "fix now", I get another error message saying; "Failed to migrate Virus Defs." It asks me to "reboot" to "launch the product" but I still get all of the mentioned errors all...

I have an external drive on which I keep files. If I encrypt files at home using Vista machine, backup certificate, import it on Windows 2003 Server machine and try to read files from Windows 2003 machine I can't do that. The reverse process works just fine. In other words files encrypted on Windows 2003 machine, its certificate is imported into Vista machine and vista can read those...

I can't get any of the programs I used with windowsXP to install and work on Vista. This is really dissapointing! For some reason non of the executables are allowed to be installed in the "programs" folder. Is there something I need to do so my software will install?

I have detected a very strange thing in (probably) UAC. I have an application called AudaUpdate.exe. This app has a "run" entry in the registry. When Vista Business is started the app is blocked and and requesting permission to run. Now, the strange thing is, when I rename the app to a name not containing Update, the app is starting up without any problem, no permission to run is...

I've been stuck on this issue all weekend, have calls into MS tech support, etc, because basically I'm locked out of any admin tasks. The problem I'm having is that the UAC prompt that says I need to enter an admin password to continue doesn't actually list any accounts. This happened after I reverted my regular account from admin to standard (there still is a built-in Administrator account...

what is pfochk.exe and why is it trying to run in my start up routine. I currently have it blocked. Do I need it?
