Reasonable set up Vista six FAQ

One, unable to guide

Unable to boot is a more common and serious failure, previously under the XP operating system, this failure is required to manually repair the user. And in Vista, you just need to start the machine through the disc to enter the Recovery Console, and then enter the Fixboot command, Vista will automatically detect the boot failure, and automatically use the BCDMD command to repair. This is a great help to the average user and is commendable.

Two, side bar weather can not show

In the Chinese version of Windows Vista, the Weather Sidebar tool is not available by default. The reason for this is that the locale is not set up correctly and you can repair it by following these steps.

1, open "Control Panel → clock, language and area → Regional and Language Options"

2. Set the current format to English (USA)

3, go to the Location page, set the current position to "United States"

4, go to management, click Change System Locale, set to English (United States)

5, restart the computer.

6. Click the Setting button in the upper right corner of the weather gadget and use Hanyu Pinyin in the "Current position" text box to enter the name of the city you are looking for, such as Beijing can enter "Beijing", you can see the weather in the corresponding city.

However, after setting the locale to the United States, some software may not display Chinese properly, but I heard that Microsoft has fixed the problem in Windows Update.

Third, screenshot flower screen

Most of the time you'll notice that Vista itself shows no problem, but whether it's using the Print Screen key or other screenshots, there will be a portion of the picture, sometimes one, sometimes a piece. This is mainly due to Vista's graphics driver is not perfect, the solution is to download and install the latest version of the graphics driver, generally can be solved

Four, the disk character disorder

The drive-by-letter disorder often occurs from the Win95 era, and this time vista is more serious. If you are installing Vista from a CD-ROM, the system will set its partition to section C, and then arrange other partitions according to management. It's not easy to troubleshoot Vista's drive-through, and you need to manually set the letter in Disk Management before you upgrade the system again. The specific steps are as follows:

1, into the "control Panel → management tools → Computer Management → Disk Management", and then the confusion of the disk character set for you want to look.

3, when the installation program you choose to upgrade or new installation, you must choose a new installation, so that after the installed, Vista will not be disorderly change your letter. The old Vista will be automatically backed up by the installer into a windows.old directory, even if deleted.

Five, use QQ blue screen

2007 version before the QQ is not in the normal use of Vista, a run will be blue screen, this is because the use of keyboard input encryption control using the underlying driver technology, and Windows Vista is incompatible.

Solution: First off QQ, and then into the QQ installation directory, and delete Npkcrypt.sys, Npkcrypt.vxd and Npkcusb.sys three files, you can start QQ. However, because the keyboard encryption control related files have been deleted, so QQ will prompt your machine may be Trojan virus, ignore him, directly using soft keyboard input password login can.
