ok guys i have 2 question to ask .

1. gif file won't animate in windows photo gallery . and u need to open it with internet explorer . even if i open it with the default viewer ( windows photo gallery ) , it only show the first frame of the animated gif file . so i actually have difficulties sending gif file to someone since windows photo gallery only takes the first frame into count . anyone solution for this ?

2 . the microphone..even after i tick the +20db boost , my friend still can barely listen to wat im saying . perhaps i need to like shout then only my friend can listen laugh.gif ..such problem did not appear on xp tho =/

1. Windows Photo Gallery integrates its own database for file formats that do not support metadata like PNG, GIF, MPEG and BMP.

I duno, it sounds like it doesn't support png or gif to me..

I already posted a while back la... there are some exploitation by worms on gif files, where it will infect a certain frame of the pic which cannot be detected by AV if it's already in ur PC. Playing it in an web browser will force the AV to detect any intrusion, thus this is why Vista does not preview gif. And I use ACDsee for my image files so this does not pose any problem

I'm new to Vista.Just received two laptops for my office with Windows Vista.As for question above...i've encountered same problem.I've tried both Partition Magic 7.0 & 8.0 and it appears that Partition Magic is not compatible with Vista sweat.gif correct me if i'm wrong.

One more thing...it's kinda shock me...is it normal when i open this laptop (without pressing the power button) it will automatically log in to windows?Those laptops are Dell Inspiron 640m.

(1) Not suprising. Partition Magic 8 is very old software. You'll find out very soon there's gazillion more software that won't work properly with Vista. Hasta La Vista dude.

(2) This is normal VISTA behaviour to log into Windows immediately. I think u can set somewhere to have the login screen, but i didn't bother.

did u actually turn off your notebook before? the default function for power button in start menu is standby, not shutdown. and vista can automatically turn on by opening the lid. same as shutdown/standby if u close the lid. can be configure in power option/advanced.

Like that ar?Kinda cultured shock shakehead.gif laugh.gif Previous Windows XP,when we shutdown,it will totally turn off.Then if we wanna turn on the laptop we have to press the power button.Later i'll check those power option.I'm in the middle of downloading Symantec AV for Vista.Quite surpising me also as the download i think more faster than Windows XP.

i am running vista of office network.... windowns recommend me to update the software and after i did it and restart the computer.. vista can no longer connect to my office net work and the internet, vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif
tried to check here and there but still not working,,,,, vista just refuse to reconize the network...

finally i did a system restore and everything is back to normal...... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif



Lesson learned.....

so....DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE......... microsoft will be more likely to mess it up than to makes vista better...

damn ... wasted day trying to figure this out mad.gif vmad.gif mad.gif vmad.gif mad.gif

is Vista quite stable now? My rig is old:

P4 631 3.0 Ghz
2 Gig DDR2 667 RAM
Aopen Nvidia 6600 256MB DDR2
160 GB HDD
250 GB HDD

Will vista ultimate (i only have this edition - free) runs smoothly or at least my rig will survive?
