    turned out that clicking the button in IE that resets everything fixed it, strange.

    wireless

    yeah i check the wireless config service, called something different in vista. had been stopped so obviously another program is taking control. looked in the taskbar and there was something there and i dont think its working properly. so i went to msconfig to look for it but couldnt see it. It wont be the dns servers as the laptop is set to get them auto and another laptop connects to the router fine. Im going to post a hijack this log see if there is anything wrong.

    wireless

    I have a toshiba laptop that wont connect to the wireless. It says it is connected to local and internet but it when IE, msn etc is used it wont work. I have tried scanning for crap but couldnt find anything. there is another toshiba laptop in the house which is connecting to the wireless and a desktop with a wired conenction to the router so i doubt its the router. Any ideas?
  5. yeah i tried that, the only thing that i found worked was reinstalling the cd drive.
  6. When I insert a cd/dvd into my disc drive windows explorer will not recognise it, will just think its a blank disc. Also autorun will not do anything at all, i have tried googling about autorun and tried a few suggestions like with the registry and stuff but no luck. If i try to look at the cd in windows media player for example, it can see and use it. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
  7. tools - options - alerts and sounds
  8. It seems by them fixing the country selection cheat that I no longer have to watch adverts, damn!
  9. I did download farcry, you get static ads on the menus and a 10 second advert each load it does. There are already patches about that remove the adds.
  10. it says its supported by in game advertising, surely for a free game you could put up with seeing a few adverts starting the game. I am going to try farcry. edit - Don't try them if you don't live in the US Edit - Apparently if you make an ubisoft account and just select the United States as your home country it works, also don't download off fileplanet. I am downloading from gamershell. No wait and i am downloading nearly at max speed

    CCleaner and Vista

    yes, mine does. When you first set up an account you are a admin, didnt have to do anything special.
  15. yeah some of the services that vista has are just not in xp or are named something else. For example the index service is now called windows search. On my xp computer I was running around 26 services aswell, and the new xp computer has 34. I guess that seeing that this is a laptop it has more, it has procceses running for all the extra things on the keyboard like displaying how much battery is left in the middle of the screen, possibly the most pointless thing in the world.
