Windows Vista Tech Support

[Jimmy 2004]

is there a way to stop it from asking you for permission when your run programs and stuff. its really annoying...

Open a “Run...” box (press the Windows key + r ), type MSCONFIG, go to the “Tools” tab and then select and launch “Disable UAC.”

Should sort it for you without trying to find it in the control panel. Check out the Vista guide in my sig for more tips and tweaks.

2. this juswt happened recently my computer wont reboot or shutdown anymore it goes into some kind of power standby it goes through all the screens and then it makes the power down clicketc...hard drives shutting down my video disspears but my computer is still on it just sits their and idles....no actual power down same with rebooting it wont come back from that "state" any ideas? iv alreadyt tried changing the setting then looking ion the bios power options no go all the same it just randomely did it.

 

[Wile E]

For the shutdown restart issue- Did you recently add/change/update any software. Kaspersky did that to me at one point in time. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and the problem disappeared

 

[Solaris17]

no iv only installed oblivion it wont properly shutdown at all iv even tried defaulting the power options etc. no go wtf?

Audio Drivers Issue :~

Hi! I've installed Windows Vista 32 bit on a Celeron 1.7 with 64mb VC and a gig of Ram... Mobo is Asus P4S533-MX

My "particular" issue is that I can't install my audio drivers xD (Onboard ones) the other things that I've installed works perfectly, such as Office, MSN Messenger and other programs...
Everything works well so far, but the audio driver (the error is when installing it, it says that is not compatible with windows)

 

[Namslas90]

The onboard audio is ADI AD1980 6-channel CODEC, and I havn't found a Vista driver for it yet, still looking.

Keep in mind that is 32 bit Vista, that's why I'm so confused...
Every 32bit application I've used works, excepting that damn driver

 

[Namslas90]

Found several links that say there is no Vista driver for that, all of them say to add a sound card.

I was afraid of that lol, then I'll suggest to buy a soundcard... Thx Brotha

if you have the driver as an .exe try running it in compatability mode it could possible work then just right click on it go to Properties>compatability tab> and select run as xp sp2 it might work then thats what i have to do on a couple of my apps and games.

Damn why did I not think about that before?! You're right I've forgotten totally about that option!


I'll msg if it worked, Thx!

hey i have a digital usb tv tuner its a leadtek one apparently it is vista certified and has drivers on their site i download them for my tv tuner but when i extract the file all i get is a bunch of files but i have no clue on what to do with them i also downloaded the software but it doesn't recognize the tv tuner also vista does not recognize the tv tuner

these are the files i get when i download the 64bit vista drivers from http://www.leadtek.com/eng/support/download.asp?downlineid=144&downline=WINFAST DTV DONGLE

these are the files i get no .exe files



driver cd with the tuner dont work my guess is i have to place them somewhere in windows directory but no clue were

thanks for any help

 

[Solaris17]

those ones with the yelolow bands are driver files tell it to search for the drivers and browse to that folder it should install and it should work.
same with the .sys files those are driver files their basically all important but if you have to manually place them the .sys and the yellowband one s are what youll probably need to move.

 

[EviLZeD]

ok ill try it out thanks for the help

EDIT: nope vista doesnt recognize then wen i specify that folder it just says unable to install

Systool Crash with Vista (Help)

Hello I am new to these forums, but not to Systool. I was able to run the app just fine when I was running Windows XP but when I made the move to Vista(32Bit) and I installed it and the driver, Systool would not work and would cause my computer to behave unstable. If someone can help me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it beacuse I want to overclock my AMD Athlon 64 3800+ and need to increase the voltage to it for further overclocking. Again any advice toward solving this problem or if anyone knows of anyother software that I can use to increase the voltage to my processor would be appreciated.

Tryed by the BIOS? It's the best option IMO

Installing dx9 freaked out my graphics

Hello there forumreaders! I have a problem where I really could use your help!

I am running Vista Home Premium on my Vaio laptop. Some weeks ago I was told to test a game for my work. When installing, I had to press continue on directx9 installer in order to complete the installation.

After that several of my 3d apps are going nuts. 3DsMax 9 reverts back to dx 8.1. And when viewing DDS files my screen goes blank sometimes for a few seconds, and then saying something like "your displaydrivers recovered from internal error".
If I try to assign a dds texture in Max 8.1 it says "error creating direct 3d device".

Anyone know a solution to this? Perhaps some way to uninstall those drivers. And since there isnt any installer for dx10 I cant try to replace. I can live with it, but those errors ruins my day quite often. My comp is a sony vaio VGN-C2Z, "vista only". With a nvidia 7400(i think)go.

cheers /Håkan

Can't Overclock in BIOS

Tryed by the BIOS? It's the best option IMO

Yeah I know Man, the thing is I have an OEM computer and they have all those Overclocking setting removed thats why I Used to use Systool.

 

[hakanpersson]

wich is the game

One you most definatly not tried, "Paradise", we are UK publishers for it. Rather old by now I think. I also tried to download latest dx9 from microsoft too see if they were using some odd release, but its still same result.
