Hi, I have written a service with "requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" " in the manifest file. In the service I call into LockWorkStation or WTSLogoffSession, which do not seem to be working on Vista. GetLastError to both the functions returns error code 5. Is there anything that I need to do. Please help.

Hi, I have run into problem with consecutive tries to update Windows Vista automatically and manually with some of the latest patches which constantly fails. Hope someone can provide an suggestion. Thanks in advance. Mega

I just discovered a program called "Smart UAC Replacement 1.0". It's supposed to, well, replace regular dumb UAC. I haven't tested it yet and I don't know if it has anything to do with the true UAC mechanism in Vista. FWIW it claims to also work with XP and Windows 2000. I'd be interested to know what others think about this (once you get over the revulsion and disgust g) Here comes...

This is a Windows 7 question, but I’m hoping the answer is the same as for Vista. I'm the sole user of my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 computer. There is no security problem of misuse by others. By default, the Windows 7 file structure has set up as users: All Users Default

Hi, all. I'll have to log into the default administrator account, because I can not do anything under the current standard user account status. I went to the safe mode, and tried to log into the admin account, but the password is forgotten. I built the reset password USB disk under the account before. Now I follow the instructions for resetting the password. However, the window popped up,...

I scanned my computer with Windows Defender every day last week and I still get the message you haven't scanned your computer for 9 days.Is there a way to reinstall Windows Defender?It isn't listed in programs and features for Vista.

I downloaded a RAR file, and while the file did have the files I wanted it also had an "extra" folder, and when I clicked on it I think it's safe to say it installed something on my computer. I ran Adaware, and Spybot Search and Destroy, and removed what was found, however, at start up "My Documents" still opens every time (sometimes in two windows). Here is the log of HiJack This. Can you guys...

I have a new computer from HP that has Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit installed. Mostly, it seems pretty good. It has been quite stable since initial trouble got ironed out (blue-screened severely, fresh out of the box from day one). Here's my current problem... My daughter came to visit over the holidays and brought her laptop with her. When she connected to my wireless network...

Defender is turned off and notice says that it can only be turned back on via "GROUP POLICY". How do I do this? Information on group policy seems very complicated and I'm hoping there is an easy solution to turning Defender back on. Help!!! I am running Vista -- WILDTOPIARY

I received an email claiming to be from Microsoft Awards Center saying that I won $2m. There IS an attachment which I WILL NOT open. Would it do any good to report this to someone and/or send it to an abuse center?? This email was filtered and placed in my Junk email folder by Windows Live Mail. Thanks, James
