Vista I am.
15/11/2007I’m back dual booting vista with Widows XP Pro SP2. It’s hell better this time with a lot more support from drivers to software.
One tiny problem, I can’t log into Windows LIVE Messenger, no matter what!
This (source) solved it.
Try this:
- Click start
- Type: cmd
- Right-click cmd.exe when it appears under Applications
- Click Run As Administrator
- Type the following: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Press enter
- Restart your computer
I did not have to restart my PC, it worked immediately. Here’s a shortlist of stuffs I am running with no problem.
- PTGui 7.2
- Hugin 0.7 beta 3
- Pano2QTVR 1.6.6
- Pleinpot 1.8.8
- Photomatix Pro 2.5
- Pain Shop Pro 7 (yes 7!)
- Photoshop CS2
- Winzip 10
- Winamp 5.33
- Daemon Tools 4.10 86
- Firefox 2.0.0.9
- Forceware 169.04 VISTA
- setpoint400 for my Logitech S510 keyboard/ mouse
- Razor Copperhead Driver: v6.10 Firmware: v6.19
- Picasa 2.7 build 37.36.0
- Ultramon 3.0.0×32
- Syntoy 1.4
- A-Patch 8.5
- AVG 7.5 (haha it’s free!)
Something else useful I found to auto login to Windows Vista:
1. Click the Start button, type ‘netplwiz’ and hit enter or click that name on the Start menu.
2. In the GUI window that comes up uncheck the “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer’ box, then click ‘Apply’
3. In the new dialog box that opens type the name of the account you want to auto-logon by default. If the account is not normally passworded then leave the password blank, if the account is passworded then enter the password where indicated. Click OK your way out of both dialogs.
The account must already exist before you do this. I do not recommend that you create accounts without passwords. I do not recommend that you auto-logon your ‘Administrator’ account, use another account name with some admin privilages if you need to. Use this at your own risk, I do not accept any responsibility for anything that happens as a result of you using this.
Thanks Spooky!
and lastly, something everyone want. Disable the irritating UAC!
