Pardon my off topic post, but I have to vent somewhere after waiting on the phone for eon's to speak to a Microsoft representative. You can no longer cancel subscriptions to Microsoft products (in this case, OneCare) on line, and you have to call customer service. Of course there is a barrage of sales crap on the phone while you are waiting, and waiting, and waiting. This was my third...

Has anyone had any experience with VISTA and Navy & Marine Corp Intranet (NMCI) smart card DOD CAC cards. VISTA sees the smart card when inserted but say it is unable to read it. Wondering if I could use my DOD CAC card with PKI certs to login to a VISTA laptop equiped with a smart card reader to improve security.

After running Vista on a few machines in my network, I have come to realize that Vista seems to (over)err on the side of security. DFS shares, printer shares, authentication, etc. all the things that run quite efficiently with Windows XP SP2 and 2003 R2 machines have occasional issues under Vista.

Just installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit version a few days ago. Defender was working normally. A day later, possibly coinciding with having installed the updates from Windows Update, the Defender service will not start automatically or manually. I tried every "fix" I could find: - Client for Microsoft Networks is installed - I unchecked all the boxes on Windows Update (WU) settings,...

I'm trying to run my main user account as a non-admin, but any time I try to perform any admin task, the UAC prompt tells me I have to enter an admin password and hit OK. The problem is, there isn't any textbox to enter a password! OK button is disabled (I guess I should expect since I haven't enetered a password), but how am I supposed to perform any admin task? And I can't log in as an...
