    2 Quick Vista Questions

    I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, if that matters. Here are my two questions. I've searched for some answers, and either came up with no solutions, or non-working ones. 1) How do I change the "Selected Items" color for Appearances? It's at the default "baby blue" like color, and it's tough...

    Looking for a clear answer: DVD to DivX

    I'm looking for some software that will convert DVDs to DivX files. Simple as that. I have Nero 7, as I've read that Nero Recode might be able to do it, but I'm not sure. These are DVDs of unencrypted content, so I am not looking for any kind of ripper. As a side benefit, does anyone know...

    Virtual Machines Portable?

    I was under the impression that virtual machines were meant to be portable across different computers. I also see this in the fact you can download many virtual machines, ready to go. So, that leads to my question. If I were to create an XP virtual machine in Virtual PC 2007 on my computer...

    Symantec E-mail Proxy

    I have a user who allegedly clicked open an attachment from her Yahoo E-mail account. Ever since then, if her network connection is active and enabled, she has tons of pop-ups from Symantec E-mail Proxy blocking random e-mail messages from being sent, complaining about the e-mail address...

    Photoshop and Vista

    My wife's new PC is almost complete, and she would really like to learn Photoshop, to go along with her web dev stuff. Through various legal channels, I can get some decent discounts, so I'm trying to get a poll from you guys as to what versions of Photoshop and/or Photoshop Elements work fine...

    Exporting Group Policy Settings?

    I never really fooled around with Group Policy settings that much, but here's a question. On a non-domain PC, where the Group Policy Editor was used to make some local changes, can those changes be exported somehow to be re-applied to a new computer? I'm thinking something along the lines of...

    Updated Vista Games List?

    I may have missed it due to the search being gone, and I may also be typing in the wrong search strings into Google, but I'm looking for an updated games compatibility list for Vista, and extra points of it includes Vista 64. I've found a few on Google, but mostly they were very short lists...

    Exporting Exchange Mailboxes to .pst

    Is there a way on an Exchange 2003 Server to export a users entire mailbox to a .pst file? When a user leaves my company, I'd like a way to backup their mailbox to a file and burn it to a disc. For now, I'm been logging in to a spare computer as the user, setting up Outlook, and then exporting...

    Vista in VirtualPC 2007?

    Has anyone tried running Vista in a Virtual PC session? A friend of mine is asking if it's possible, and his system is identical to mine in my sig (top one) for the parts that matter. I know Aero won't be an option, but will it at least be usable enough for him to test it out and play around...

    Batch File Syntax

    I'm trying to write a batch file that sites on our H drive network drive, that will rename the users local hosts file to hosts.old and copy down a new one. I'm getting a path error, so I'm thinking I did something wrong, maybe because of the spaces, or possibly because the hosts file has no...

    Missing PMs

    I'm sure it's all due to the forum upgrades and such, but I'm missing some PMs, and can only see ones I deleted over a week ago. No big deal at the moment, as it's probably related to the changes.

    FS: (2) Vista Home Premium Express Upgrades

    Both are shrink-wrapped and include not only the license key, but the COA sticker for your case. As far as I've been reading, these can be used for the upgrade to an upgrade method for a clean install. These are for Vista Home Premium 32bit. I'm not sure if they can be traded in for a 64 bit...

    Corsair XMS DDR2 and D965WH

    If I remember right, my motherboard has some low voltage requirements for memory. Does this mean Corsair's XMS memory won't work with my board? I vagualy remember it being too high in voltage. I'm off to check both Intel and Corsair's sites for any info.

    Backup Software for Remote Users

    I currently have about 20 remote users. The Admin before me setup Folder Redirection of My Documents to a server, which works flawlessly for people in the office, but very rarely for people who are remote.

    Flash problem with Safari and Firefox?

    Converting Flash to DVD?

    I have a CD of a web conference my company did, that's in Macromedia Flash format. It's the Play.exe type. Is there any method or software out there that can convert this to a DVD, or atleast a movie file that I can burn as a DVD? It isn't locked or copy-protected in anyway.

    Drawing a blank....Exchange User Permissions

    I remember changing the rights on some of my remote users...to allow their managers to see/edit their calendars, all from the Exchange 2003 server, instead of having to go to each client's machine, and setting them up from within Outlook. I'm drawing a complete blank on how I did this. Can...

    Dual Boot Question I Should Know...but don't.

    If I was setting up a dual boot system with XP and Vista 64, how would my drive letters be arranged for each OS? I vaguely remember reading that Vista handles the C drive differently, such that each OS would treat it's system volume as C. Here's how my 2 250 GB drives are partitioned: Drive...

    Second issue in Vista...network file copy

    I spent 3 hours last night on this problem, and I tried every solution I've found online. Hotfixes, disabling the Windows Search Service, disabling IPv6, and disabling the autotuning. Whenever I try copying files to my server from my Vista box, the copy hangs almost right away. If you hit...

    Resoltuion and Nvidia Driver question

    BartPE question

    I'm taking a guess at putting this into the OS section, since PE environments are like an OS, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I digress (shocker there). Has anyone been able to add memtest or drive diag tools to their BartPE discs?

    XP Folder Redirection Problem

    My CEO is having a weird problem. Our My Docs folders are set to redirect to a server share, also mapped as the U:\ drive. If you right click on the My Docs folder, the properties list it as being on the server...\\servername\users\username. For some reason, on her laptop, if I pull the...

    Office 2003 & Office 2007 at the same time?

    Has anyone installed both Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same PC? If so, did you have any issues? I have Office 2003 installed, and I changed the install path from Microsoft Office to Microsoft Office 2003, thinking I could do the same for Office 2007.

    My only issue with Vista

    Remote HOST file editing?

    RDP Tip I just learned
