AVG Free and UAC by
Rick
AVG Free AntiVirus 7.1.405 seems to work fine with Vista 5536 but I have one
question. When I open the application and manually ask AVG Free to look for
updates I have to tell UAC that it is OK for this application to proceed. I
checked the upgrade executable program's security access permissions
(avginet.exe) and everything is checked except "special permissions". What
do I need to do...

Active X problem by
Ron Maxey
I'm having trouble downloading a certificate for VPN from my employer's
website because when I get to the certificate page, I get the pop-up message
that an Active X control is downloading. But it never loads; it just hangs
there. As a result, I'm unable to get a certificate, which seems to be the
only thing keeping VPN and Citrix from running. I'm running Vista RC1. Any
ideas? Thanks in...

Vista RC1 Activation Product Key Question by

Today I download RC1 and obtained a product key with the Windows Live Log
on and acount activation. When I installed Vista RC1 it did not prompt me
for a product key and installed. This was a fresh install onto a computer.

already has a all numbers product key and I can not activate the product.

Vista and HTTPS by
Ignacio
Hi all.
When I try to see a https web the windows vista only permit me if it have
the certificate on date, the name is the same that the certificate and the
certificate is of one trust company.
In the last versions of IE (include IE 7 on Windows XP) you can see the page
after accept a warning message but Vista Doesn't shows this message and
reject the web.

if (hSC == NULL) return GetLastError();
hSchSvc = OpenService(hSC, "Schedule", SERVICE_START |

Blocked Start-Up by
Benny
First of all, I've had relativly few problems with Vista. I am currently
running RC-1 and have an annoying problem. My Logitech mouse driver gets
blocked at startup. I go to the defender screen and it says that it isn't
yet classified, but I can find no way to rectify that. I really don't want
to turn off UAC yet, but am getting really annoyed with the pop-up from the
taskbar.

Can't rename a file due to permission problems by
Roof Fiddler
I'm trying to rename winhlp32.exe to something else so that I can replace it
with XP's winhlp32.exe.
I'm running as an administrator with UAC enabled and all the default UAC
settings, and I've assigned ownership of winhlp32.exe to myself and granted
myself all permissions, yet when I try to rename or delete it, after
confirming (twice) the UAC prompts, I get a "File Access Denied" dialog box...

What is the "None_ploc" SID in process tokens? by
Walter Porter
Hello:
What is the "None_ploc" user or group in the security access token of a
process in Vista? Google only finds a single (useless) reference to it. It
seems to be new with Vista build 5600.
Thanks!

UAC / Signed Drivers / etc. are a joke :( by
Ryan
Ok, I cannot comprehend what Microsoft was thinking. I cannot install sound
drivers. I cannot install 3rd party applications that I paid for that
require driver installs. For example, Alcohol 120%. I used that to mount
images that I own the rights to. Guess what - no matter what I do or tweak,
Vista 64-bit will NOT allow it to install a driver. Same goes for Cubase.
I'm driving myself...

How can I install a Web based certificate in Vista? by
Sam Trego
In XP it was simple... when you log onto a site that has a non trusted
certificate, you simply had to click "View Certificate" then "import
certificate" and it would be installed. I cannot for the life of me figure
out how to install this same certificate (to my company server) onto my Vista
computer. Can anyone help?

What happened to the SID in tokens with the DesktopIntegrity flag? by

Hello:
In earlier Vista betas, processes had two SIDs in their tokens related to
mandatory access control: one had the "Integrity" flag in Process Explorer
and the other had a flag like "DesktopIntegrity". SIDs with the Integrity
flag still exist in build 5600, but the DesktopIntegrity flag has
disappeared. What happened to it? I thought this was a special SID in the
