  1. the yellow highlight means that the fixes are already integrated. You should always use a clean MS DVD as source
  2. next time read my sticky post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=127712
  3. sliptreaming and integrating of Updates doesn't work. The rest works
  4. please try to update your graphics card driver.
  5. no, you can't do this. But you can reinstall your laptop and use the new DVD. After doing this you'll have a Windows Vista with Sp1.
  6. Do you use any kind of "Tweaking tool"?
  7. please tell us more about your specs (CPU, RAM, graphics card)
  8. have you tried the Vista drivers for your card reader?
  9. no, this will never happen. MS already made a statement about this in the Engineering Blog
  10. oh my god, wtf are you doing here? Your examples only show that you are a n00b, task scheduler is the solution You don't understand UAC and and you are not willing to learn how it works. The comparison to nazi is too much, you're now on my ignore list.
  11. for Windows7 use DISM to mount the Image!
  12. sorry, if you are intolerant against improvements change your job so that you're no longer confronted with new things. If all people would think like you we would still sits in caves
  13. Yeah, this was the way XP should be configured, but all the n00bs don't do this. But this kind of configuration has some issues (due to runAs service). now that's the trick inside the UAC. You have 2 accounts in 1! The normal administrator accounts have 2 security tokens (1 as limited user and 1 for doing operations with needs elevated rights). The normal user token is used when you login to Windows so you are a limited user. When you want to install applications you click the UAC prompt to have the elevated rights. This is cool Read about how the UAC works before posting this whole nonsense and disabling it: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.06.uac.aspx Here is a comparison of Vulnerabilities between XP and Vista http://blogs.technet.com/security/archive/...eport-2007.aspx Also using UAC means that IE7 is running in Protected Mode, so that a malicious program can't change settings and can't install itself in an autostart location. With this IE7 is a really good and safe browser! It's always the same, people are not willing to learn new things and that's why they turn off features they DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I thought that people here are better informed and have fun with learning new things, but I was wrong. That is sad
  14. installing applications is a task where you mostly need elevated rights, so the UAC prompt is correct! As I said before, try do the same from a Limited User Account in XP!
  15. no, your "thank you" is enough. Have fun
  16. you can use this tool to download the updates: http://www.heise.de/ct/projekte/offlineupd...wnload_uk.shtml
  17. I give it up. You're posting nonsense. Give me DETAILED example where the UAC dialog pops up when you do normal work (browse WWW, read emails, listen to music and so on) You are not willing to understand and learn what NT security is. As I said several times before, DO THE SAME THINGS WITH A LIMITED USER UNDER XP AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE RESULT!
  18. It is better to download the updates from the download center.
  19. Only download them and store them in a folder like D:\VistaUpdates and select them in vLite
  20. this is nonsense. This never happens! I tell you again. Do the same things (you do under Vista where you get the UAC prompt) under XP with a limited user account and look at the RESULT!
  21. you don't understand NT security, that's all For normal use you NEVER need elevated rights, sorry. sorry, you play Russian roulette and one day you'll get a malicious program. People like must be force to use UAC, I never understood why MS let the user the choice to completely disable it
  22. download all updates from the download center and store them on your hdd and select them from vLite
  23. because you don't know what NT security is and how it works. Let me make a guess, you switched from Win9x to XP? Right? And with XP you have full elevated rights and this IS Stupid! LUA is a fundamental idea in all *nix system for several years. There is no need to have elevated rights to read emails and browse the WWW. Try to start a application with needs elevated rights under Xp when you're not administrator and look at the RESULT. You'll get an Access Denied error message and under Vista/Win7 the UAC helps you to start applications in elevated rights MS made the Mistake with XP NOT with with Vista and the UAC. Disabling ALWAYS means you don't understand what you are doing. You can use the taskscheduler to start application in elevated rights WITHOUT disabling the UAC and WITHOUT clicking the UAC prompt.
  24. Do you trie to integrate the Express Updates (small cab files)? This doesn't work. You must use the Full Updates (MSU or CAB)
  25. turning UAC off is stupid
