Too many thread open up by all those switching to vista and don't RTFM or solutions not included/addressed in the RTFM. Put all your question in this thread please.

Please state clearly...

Vista Build:

Problem:

Vista Build: RTM 6000
Vista Version: Windows Vista Home Premium
Problem: It's taking forever to shutdown sometimes. Usually it happens when I on my computer for too long.

Vista Build: Retail 6000
Vista Version: Windows Vista Ultimate
Problem: My case is exactly the same like samurai1337. But it rarely happens, very rare. Usually it also happens when I on my computer for too long.

How to answer here? Well the reason why it took long time to shutdown is because vista need to configure the update setting or any new device added. Thus it will take very long. Moreever u said it took long time to shut down after long time u nv shutdown. Thus this shows that there is many update configuration vista need to be set.
If ntg is updated or no program is added, it will shut down very fast.

Vista Version: Windows Vista Ultimate
Problem: It's taking longer time to shutdown.Usually it happens when I on my computer for too long.

wireless connection disconnect automaticly randomly. need to restart my laptop to gain back the connection

Guess this is a common problem.

I don't think it's because of the update/new device reason that adriankhoo153 was saying. It takes really long (> 30 minutes) that I'd rather turn the power off...

yours more then 30 minutes ?
mine is just more then 10 minutes

really?

i use vista since beta and never encounter this. i leave my pc turn on quite long sometimes. around 20hours. i know there is a option to turn off "saving profile setting" in vistamanager. that might wat make the shutting down process so long.

but if i need 30min to shut down the pc, i rather unplug the power cord...

In my case, if this 'long shut down' happens..it will take about 15-20 mins to shut down..but like others said, I rather unplug the power cord.

agreed, it become very laggy after turning on a day, needs restarting sometimes, restarting takes 10-15min



but.. >30 minutes per shut down is too long

my proposed solution : theres a fast reboot/shutdown app for win xp.. dunno it works for vista ?

Open Regedit (WINDOWS KEY + R on your keyboard, or by clicking Start and typing on the search bar "regedit" without quotes. Hit Enter

Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l] On the right panel look for the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" string and change it value to 1000 by right clicking the string and selecting Modify...

Default Value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=20000

Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=5000

Vista Build: RTM 6000

Problem: all graphics games lik got frameskip and firefox lag about every 10 sec

Vista Build: Vista RTM 6000
Vista Version: Ultimate
Problem: The shutdown (red button) on the start menu, even I change the option to use it as Shutdown, it is still actiing as Hibernate

still cannot find driver for my aztech WL635USB wifi adapter. i e-mail this to aztech and this is their reply.


so sad

make a restore point and try force install the driver. 50% chance it will work

just wondering, whats your memory size installed on the pc? if you already have it installed with 2gb ram, then it must be something wrong ith your vista..

just a suggestion, each time you want to shut down your pc, just use the ccleaner to clean up the cache/cookies/recently open document. might as well help the shut down process, maybe.

so far i dont have problem with mine, the booting and shut down takes only several seconds..

how come when i installed daemon tools, it say wat need local adminstrator for 1st time run. But i only got 1 account at vista, some more is admin..

More likely it's the UAC. Right click on the EXE file and choose 'Run as Administrator'

mine prob oso same with ben3003.how come?daemon only work on XP kah?

Like I said, right click and choose 'Run as Administrator'. I use that frickin software in Vista, thus it's compatible.

chill linkinstreet.
yes, daemon compatible with vista.

hello .. im new here sorry if i off topic ..

i need some info about Windows Vista .. about the availability on the market
any1 know windows vista version and its price ?? and what option to purchase it ?

go download the latest version of daemon and it works

i e-mail again to aztech and they say the texas instrument chip can only support up to xp. they say it is texas inst fault.

Built : RTM 6000
Version : Ultimate
Problem : I couldnt find any option to turn on Hibernation.... i dont like to turn of, always hibernate... even if it takes 1gb++ of HD space

deamon tool works well with my vista...mybe your daemon tool sofware got probz?

bro..u must go to Power Options in Control Panel...

either Balanced, Power Saving or High Performance..

Click Change Plan Setting.

Then Change Advance Power Settings

Go to Power Buttons and Lid

Then Start Menu power button

Select Shut Down

i know this is kinda outdated question..but what to do, if my soundcard driver dont produce sound? i read about the alternative.. installing some software?

what soundcard are u using? onboard or pci?

Vista has crap support for older hardware.

Right click your driver software, goto properties, and choose XP SP2 Compatibility mode and try to install it

can anyone tell me how to enable hibernation.... couldn find the option in power settings

yeah thats because firefox is ram hungry..

was comparing 2gb vs 4gb
its insane for u to run on vista on 2 gb.
was a b*** getting all the drivers but so far everything works.
also for nvidia gpus advise to use the 101.7 driver from guru.
finally can play texas holdemup
also dreamscene and sidebar is more stabe with sli configs.

also till now no luck in getting ntune working...with all drivers..
graphic card is freakin hot...

im using onboard


will do.thanks.

EDIT:

done as u said..the software ran as usual, but still the sound wont come out. checked everything. any other solution?

i think im gonna wait for a few weeks..should there no update on this, might revert back to XP. i can't live with a mute pc.

Chipset? From what I read and use, cMedia and Realtek (AC'97) latest XP drivers will work. you need to go to Device Management, locate your sound hardware, right click, properties, drivers, update drivers, have disk, and locate the folder for the drivers. DO NOT INSTALL USING THE INSTALLER.
Creative Soundblaster have BETA drivers

To disable hibernation:

Click Start. Type powercfg /hibernate off. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

To enable hibernation:

Click Start. Type powercfg /hibernate on. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

Hi guys,

How bout the DVD/CD Burning software? I havent personally tried yet, but from what I heard earlier, there were issues concerning Nero's burning software and Vista.

I'm using the Nero Burning Program which came with my SONY DRU-810A. It's an OEM version which wont run on any other optical drive but the one it came with.

I didnt notice any patches or upgrades in the "SUPPORT" section in www.nero.com.

Any idea how to fix this for free?

Thanx ya.

The latest nero 7 works with Vista, the "issues" comes from ppl that uses Nero 6, found that it won't work, and say Nero won't work with Vista

that`s why i bought myself a Linksys one...i afraid this thing will happen to me...
