I had to switch routers because mine kept dropping out while download it. Both attemps finished the 4GB download but the download manager (the one from Akamai) said the MD5's did not match. Now that I restarted my computer after changing routers, I can't restart the download and then I go back to the RC1 site, it says I already have all the authorized product keys - maybe so - but I don't...

Ok I have found the problem and it dates back to Win XP. The OS has locked the account. It can be fixed by editing a key in the registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Under here you will find some long numbers these are known as the Users SID, if there are a lot of people logged onto the machine there will be a long list in here.(Hopefully not)....

Hey guys, I am having one MAJOR problem. Any account I log-in to it tells me is NOT the Adminstrator account. Yet, when I go to my User Accounts, all 3 user desktops are "Administrators". I can't do anything really. I want to update to the next Vista C1, but I already know it won't let me with this problem. I can't even reformat my computer, do a system restore, even install new...

I'm about to install RC1, but before I do I need to know what went wrong between 5384 and 5742. I installed 5384 and, buggy as it was, I never had administrator/access problems. Fast forward 10 weeks, I fresh install 5742, and suddenly I can't download a %^@! mp3 file from a pay service without getting a 'You do not have the right to save a fiel to that folder.

I'm using Build 5728 and I can't get Vista to set up a domain user account on my tablet PC. I have tried loggin in wired and wireless. Removed my tablet from the domain and readded it back. I have even blown out the old acounts and tried to re-add them. I have seen on these boards that this is noy uncommon, but I have seen no answers as to any resolutions. Is this a known issue for...

Well, I needed to reformat my computer since it had been acting up for a while and I hadn't done it in almost a year. It's really nice to have a nice, clean system, for as long as it lasts of course. While I was at it, I went ahead and setup a dual boot with Windows Vista RC1. I wanted to play around with it a little and learn my way around before I purchase in the spring and I have to say...

Every time I run Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 in Vista RC1, I get a dialog asking whether I know and trust the program. Is there a way of telling Vista that I trurt this program always, so that it will run this particular program henceforth without the dialog box? Note - I don't want to turn off this security check for all new software.

Took ownership etc. now returns "you need permission from "ME" to delete this file" Well I am "ME" so how can I give myself permission ?? I have tryed every security setting - auiting/permissions/inherit etc. An Help ??

I was checking out Windows Cardspace. I read the Help, but it doesn't say anywhere how to use it! I want to use a card to fill in some fields on a website. How do I do that? I can't find it. Is this only possible with Internet Explorer? Does the website has to be specially designed to use this?

Just installed RC1. I'm the only user on the entire system. Clean install. I tried to import the Outlook pst file from the last (beta) release, oh, you know, as instructed when backing up the pst file. I get the error that I apparently don't have access to this file. What new pseudo-Nazi Republican B.S. is this? I'm sorry, I'm at my wit's end -- each subsequent release of this OS...

I want to know how to get my disc cleanup to start automatically. I have used "schedule a task" to have disc cleanup start when I am away from the computer. All that happens is that disc cleanup opens up when secheduled. But then it waits for me to hit the ok start button before it begins. Is there a way I can program it to open and start automatically? -- CA

Dear Jimmy, Well, it looks like the control userpasswords2 method of bypassing the user account screen has been completely disabled in Release Candidate 2. Even when the checkbox is cleared, the user screen still intervenes before startup. Microsoft strikes back, again. "Jimmy Brush" wrote:

I want to upgrade my WinXP Pro to Vista RC1, but I tested in the lab and it removes the Admin tools. I have a 2000 AD. The only way I know to get AD admin tools (AD Users and computers, AD Sites/Services, etc.) is to actually set up Longhorn Server, the make it a DC, then use the tools installed to administer the other domain. Is there any other way?
