Vista Home Premium question
-
i always adjust the contrast of my notebook to the contrast i wanted but every time after i off, the next time i on again must set again. why?
-
That's because it's using the default power scheme. Create a new one and use that one.

1. why my wireless network keep get disconnected? my router is working perfectly fine as it is connected to me desktop through Ethernet cables. I'm using my laptop now with Vista Home premium and since yesterday this has been happening. it gets disconnected and i have to reconnect it. is it because of some power saving stuff or my wireless card spoil? my laptop is brand new.
2. can i use my microsoft office 2000 for my vista? or it does not suit? 2007 cost $178(ex) -
im not sure about office 2000.. but 2003 for me works fine thou... mmm.. 2007?? is there a need to spend money on 2007?? got my meaning?? currently i using 2007..Originally posted by fifteen:1. why my wireless network keep get disconnected? my router is working perfectly fine as it is connected to me desktop through Ethernet cables.

1. It's just Vista. I have a lot of headaches trying to get wireless to work properly in Vista. Wireless in Vista is about as bad as wireless in Linux.Originally posted by fifteen:1. why my wireless network keep get disconnected? my router is working perfectly fine as it is connected to me desktop through Ethernet cables.

2. No. It's not compatible. The only one that's compatible is 2007. If you don't want to pay, get it free. Open Office, IBM Symphony are some free ones. -
where is the link to the free office?

my wireless just kena cut off and i have to reconnect it again. dont know whether its the laptop prob or the vista...
-
Well... it could be Vista... wireless in Vista as I've said sucks.
-
what to do then.. lols. anyways, i called Acer. they ask me to connect using windows instead of the acer software.
-
erm, if there are a laptop and a pc sharing the internet, how can i set so that the laptop will get most of the internet connection? the lapptop is using vista business while the pc is using xp
-
Simple. Get a wireless N card and a wireless N router. That will suck the life out of the other.

you know in vista home premium, there's this icon usually located at the btm left hand corner near the START, which allows you to view all open windows and progs in a 3-D-kind of alt+tab way?
if you understand what i'm talking abt, i accidentally deleted that icon, how do i get it back? -
Eh start a new thread about your own issue leh.Originally posted by tut4nkh4m3n:you know in vista home premium, there's this icon usually located at the btm left hand corner near the START, which allows you to view all open windows and progs in a 3-D-kind of alt+tab way?

I have only come across one way of achieving this, that is, to install the paid version of DD-WRT, a third-party firmware, into a router which is compatible with it, namely Linksys' WRT54GL. Their online store is currently down, but I have checked it out a few weeks ago and it's 20 Euros (around 40 SGD) if I remember correctly.Originally posted by ninek200:erm, if there are a laptop and a pc sharing the internet, how can i set so that the laptop will get most of the internet connection? the lapptop is using vista business while the pc is using xp
- Wikipedia
In July 2006, DD-WRT Shop started offering a pay-only "special version" of the router firmware.[1] It includes increased functionality such as per-user bandwidth control. Since then, DD-WRT has been accused of violating the GPL provision against binary-only public distribution of derivative works.[2][unreliable source?][3]

Edit:
Errr ok nvm. I just did some Googling out of curiosity and there is one free tool that allows bandwidth control through router firewall configuration.

my only prob now is with the wireless. vista is working fine for me. as i dont play games much.

Thanks for the respond for mayi and latecomerx
Per User Bandwidth control
how do i go to my routers firewall rules screen?
I found this tool through the DD-WRT forum. I guess it would work for any firmware that lets you put in firewall rules.
It allows per user (IP or MAC) bandwidth rate and ceiling
Nice job!!!!

You simply run the tool, cut the output and paste it into your routers firewall rules screen.
It suppliments any QoS settings you may have - for example, I went through great pains to get my VOIP working well. Nothing bothers it now. I wanted a way to restrict my kids usage - downloads and Xbox. There is a special DD-WRT build that allows this BUT you loose the conventional QoS settings and it takes alot of tweaking.
With this tool you are simply adding special rules to your filters already in place
what is QoS?
needs alot of tweaking? without a step by step guide for a noob like me, i dun think i will be able to do that....
about the wireless N card and wireless N router, what so special about it that it will suck all the bandwidth?
Looks like there is no way to control bandwidth with installing a third party program? -
The Wireless seems working just fine for me. I guess it's more on the router-modem communication issue.
My issue with Vista is the IE, where when you open quite a number of IE windows, it will kind of disable your right click, certains functions like a pop-up link, crash certain service that one of your application needs.
And you have to log-off or restart to restore everything back to normal.
Very...very...very...annoying.

about the wireless N card and wireless N router, what so special about it that it will suck all the bandwidth?
Wireless N changed the way how bandwidth is being used. Wireless N introduced a technology called MIMO (although it's now compatible with some wireless G routers as well).
MIMO increases the bandwidth channel without additional bandwidth or transmitting power.
Older wireless products don't use MIMO at all. With MIMO products nearby, they can effective affect these products, thus reducing the bandwidth and transmitting power of these older products.
Most of the time, you will either notice a drop in signal or a drop in speed. This indicates that MIMO routers are nearby. -
Here's a pretty good definition of QoS:Originally posted by ninek200:how do i go to my routers firewall rules screen?

The short answer is - QoS stands for "Quality of Service".
What that means practically, is that a router that supports good QoS capability allows you to set it to give a higher or lower priority to certain types of traffic vs other types. In the context of Vonage and VoIP, a QoS capable router like the WRT54G or WRT54GS allows you to set the VoIP traffic from your Vonage adapter to have a higher priority than traffic from websurfing, downloading or uploading files, or other activities. So, if you're doing many things on your internet connection at the same time, it will make sure that your Vonage calls still happen without choppiness or cutouts, even if it means slowing down your file transfers or the speed at which you are surfing and loading webpages.
And I don't think it is as difficult as you imagine. As how one of the users have described, it seems like you're just a cut-and-paste job away from getting it working.
You simply run the tool, cut the output and paste it into your routers firewall rules screen. -
but i dun seems to have much problem with my IE thou.. haa.. kind of working fine... only tt when as u said, open too many tabs will sumtimes disable me from opening a new tab by juz right click from a link.. but it only happnes once in awhile.. but im not required to restart my laptop in order to my IE working properly again... all i need to do is to exit the IE, and open up a new IE again...Originally posted by p4tp4t:The Wireless seems working just fine for me.
