I have Windows File sharing enabled on an OS X 10.4 computer. It's accessible via \rudy\myshare for all the Windows users on the network, except for one guy running Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition. All the other users are running Vista or XP, all 32-bit. All the workgroup information is the same, all login with the same username/password...
I am about to get a new PC from work, and it will include the option to have either Vista Business as the OS, or a downgrade to XP Pro. Aside from a tiny bit of testing, I have never used Vista, but overall I have heard many more bad reports than good regarding Vista. I don't think that hardware will be an issue (Intel Core Duo T9300, 4G...
I'm using Windows Vista x64 with SP1, and developing an ASP.NET app with IIS7 as the web server. I've got a problem where my cookies aren't "sticking" to the session, so I had a google and found that there was a known issue with duplicate response headers overwriting instead of being added to the session. This problem was, however, suppo...

The product we are working on allows the user to easily set it up to run automatically whenever the computer is started. This is helpful because the product is part of the basic work environment of most of our users. This feature was implemented not so long ago and for a while all was well, but when we started testing this feature on Vis...
Does anyone have a recommendation for an NFS client for Vista Home Premium? Preferably open source, but I'll take free (as in beer) if that's not available or even a commercial product if it is clearly the best option. I know there is a client built into Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Vista, but I'd rather not upgrade just for NFS...
For my C# app, I don't want to always prompt for elevation on application start, but if they choose an output path that is UAC protected then I need to request elevation. So, how do I check if a path is UAC protected and then how do I request elevation mid-execution? Thanks. ...
Microsoft says that Visual Studio 2008 can be installed on any version of Vista (excluding started edition). But I am not sure, if Home Editions cause not problems with debugging, virtual machines, IIS, MS SQL 2008 and all other tools which developers use or with some old tools like Visual Basic 6.0. Seems that Vista Business would be ...
On these questions: Which Vista edition is best for a developer machine? Vista or XP for Dev Machine People are recommending 64 bit, can you explain why? Is it just so you can have more then 3Gb of addressable RAM that 32 bit gives you? And how does Visual Studio benefit from all this extra RAM? I went from 64 bit XP back to 32 bit...

I recently burned up my development laptop (it literally emitted smoke from the vents). After pulling the hd I was unable to get it to spin with a USB device attached to a home tower. Since I was on a deadline I had to rush and buy a new laptop (Turion 64 x2) running Vista. After I installed my required applications VS2005/2008, Sql Ser...
Has anyone noticed odd behaviours when using VS2008 on a Vista box? My main dev machine is a Dell SomethingOrOther running Vista Home Premium which is fully patched as is my VS2008. Some quirks are just quirks: when running VS2008 the play/pause media controls on my keyboard don't work (a Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard ...
Hello, I was testing on a customer's box this afternoon which has Windows Vista (He had home, but I am testing on a Business Edition with same results). We make use of a .DLL that gets the Hardware ID of the computer. It's usage is very simple and the sample program I have created works. The Dll is This from AzSdk. In fact, this works ...
When I log into a remote machine using ssh X11 forwarding, Vista pops up a box complaining about a process that died unexpectedly. Once I dismiss the box, everything is fine. So I really don't care if some process died. How do I get Vista to shut up about it? Specifically, the message reads: sh.exe has stopped working So it's no...
I've been using Window Home Server for my backups here at home for most of a year now, and I'm really pleased with it. It's far better than the software I was using previously (Acronis). I'm thinking about a backup strategy for my work machine and I'd like to know how WHS compares with Vista's built-in backup and restore features. The...

Which features and services in Vista can you remove with nLite (or tool of choice) to make a Virtual PC-image of Vista as small as possible? The VPC must work with development in Visual Studio. A normal install of Vista today is like 12-14 GB, which is silly when I got it to work with Visual Studio at 4 GB. But with Visual Studio it to...
I'm doing a fair bit of work in Ruby recently, and using ruby script/console Is absolutely critical. However, I'm really disappointed with the default Windows console in Vista, especially in that there's a really annoying bug where moving the cursor back when at the bottom of the screen irregularly causes it to jump back. Anyone have...
