Vista's SuperFetch works well with applications installed, but it does not seem to do so with Eclipse, which is just copied in a directory. Does anyone know how to correct this ? Or is it simply not possible ? [I hope this one will not be closed as "not programming related", since I need Eclipse on my machine for programming ;-) ] ...
Hello I've just started with opengl but I ran into some strange behaviour. Below I posted code that runs well in xp but on vista it renders just black screen. Sorry for posting unusally (as for this board) long code. Is there something very specific to open gl in vista? Thanks. #include<windows.h> #include<gl\gl.h> #include<gl\glu.h...
Are there any compatibility issues with running Visual Studio 6.0 (including Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Client), Visual Studio 2003 & Visual Studio 2008 on Windows Vista 64-bit? Can I interactively debug the applications with the Vista Web Server? Can I still make/compile projects? Is it correct to assume that Visual Studio 6.0 & 2003 will ...
Vista displays the dialog "Close programs to prevent information loss" when the system is low on virtual memory. In this dialog it names programs you should close. People have reported to me that it sometimes names the program I develop. How does Vista decide which programs should be closed? I'm wondering if this dialog is telling me t...
Running VISTA 32bit. I am trying to install c# Visual Express 2008 - but it requires .NET 3.5. One of the prerequisites during the install is .NET 3.5 ... it attempts to install it but fails, with no real error message. So I downloaded .NET 3.5 standalone from MS website and tried that.Again it fails with the error [10/17/08,23:17...
Where do I get the ULONG LoginID values to pass to WTSConnectSession? I need both a ULONG LogonId and a ULONG TargetLogonId. Is this the same as the SessionID I'll get back from WTSQuerySessionInformation when I pass in WTSSessionId? I suspect not (I tried it and WTSConnectSession did not work.) The MSDN glossay says a logon identifier...
I know a fair bit about the Windows Task Manger in XP, but I would like to understand it better in Vista. What is the difference between "Working Set (Memory)" and "Memory (Private Working Set)". What is the Paged Pool, what is the NP Pool (Non-Paged?). How do I use these to determine what is going on with memory usage? As an aside, ...
I need to a script that will pull up the Task Manager in Vista but with processes from all users (like when you click "Show processes from all users"). I don't mind the UAC interruption but I'd like to save some time and go straight to the "all users" version. I don't care what language per se, just something that'll run it native to V...
What's the best way (or tool) on the Windows (Vista) command line to get size and modification time for a file on a remote webserver, without downloading it? ...
I installed Python 2.6 for one user on Windows Vista. Python works okay, but when I try: import Tkinter, it says the side-by-side configuration has errors. I've tried tinkering with the Visual Studio runtime, with no good results. Any ideas on how to resolve this? ...
We are currently using the NetBios method, and it works ok under XP. Preliminary tests under Vista show that it also works, but there are caveats - NetBIOS has to be present, for instance, and from what I've been reading, the order of the adapters is bound to change. Our alternative method - with SNMPExtensionQuery - seems to be broken u...
If plugged into an external monitor and I suspend before unplugging the monitor from my laptop I am unable to see my screen next time I open my laptop. Is there a configuration or procedure to avoid this? ...
Accessing a raw disk partition in Windows Vista requires kernel mode control, as opposed to for instance WinXP where you can access it from user mode. However, I've heard that when it comes to USB flash memory, a partition can still be accessed from user mode even on Windows Vista. Is this true? Regards /Robert ...

What compatibility issues have you found when developing with Visual FoxPro 9 on Windows Vista? ...
I have a project with Crystal Reports files that doesn't seem to build correctly if I upgrade it to VS 2005 and .NET 2.0. I think the reason is that the new version of Crystal Reports is incompatible with the older report format. Since I am now running Vista, and .NET 2003 doesn't work correctly on Vista, I want to be able to build usi...
I have a rails application that I am running with Vista,IIS7 and SQL 2005. For some reason the CSS is not being rendered. The CSS works fine when I use Webrick. Any ideas how to get CSS working correctly with IIS7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows components "Common Http Features" with no luck. ...
Update: So, this turns out to have nothing to do with Tortoise SVN. I use Mozy.com for off-site backups and their new version includes these icon overlays. They can be disabled via the config options...or see here http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?p=1385433. Thanks @OS for the answer. Been using Tortoise SVN for some time on my Vis...
I think the title says it all. How can my vbscript detect whether or not it is running in a UAC elevated context? I have no problem detecting the user, and seeing if the user is within the Administrators group. But this still doesn't answer the question of whether the process has elevated privs or not, when running under Vista or Window...
Reading up the new Vista/Win2008 features, I wonder what is the point of the Thread Ordering Service. In other words, in which scenario the "classic" scheduler's "fair to all" policy is not sufficient, and a definite order of threads is preferrable? To clarify. What would be a concrete application that would benefit from it? Thanks fo...
