Gary 94541 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It I put a DVD in Windows Media Player Opens The movies plays There is no sound!!! 10 minutes later I can't figure it out?? Today I starts it up and asks me if I want an exteeeeeeendedededed care plan and blocks other use of the computer This window has no close button on it You can't use the computer until you deal with sales extortion. On the plus side the Voice control of the computer is great and works And you can resize windows from four sides Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48651-my-new-vista-computer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tops Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sounds like more of a user error! Step one when buying a Windows Computer from ANYWHERE: WIPE WIPE WIPE REINSTALL OS >>> PROFIT. It is the only way to run Windows on these machines. All the bloatware that ships is ridiculous.

track09 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sounds like someone can't: Use the volume button (If you got it with a DVD player from any major OEM, the volume will work, or the DVD is corrupt) "Today I starts it up and asks me if I want an exteeeeeeendedededed care plan and blocks other use of the computer" Yep, you and alessandro "This window has no close button on it" Perhaps you can't look. Have a look in control pannel/disability options. "You can't use the computer until you deal with sales extortion" Can you click Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs? What was the purpose of posting this in an Apple forum, unless to flame Microsoft. "WIPE WIPE WIPE REINSTALL OS >>> PROFIT" Generally true there, although I just uninstalled the extra {censored} from my Gatway, and I've been running great ever since. (That damn Google desktop that they include, (Does vista not have it's own indexed search?)) Then they included google Widgets or whatever the hell, and Disabled sidebar by default. I really hate google. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48651-my-new-vista-computer/#findComment-348364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

track09 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Your probably the first one to EVER say that. Great search engine, the one I use all the time, but their software sucks.

Colonel Ingus Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Today I starts it up and asks me if I want an exteeeeeeendedededed care plan and blocks other use of the computer This is a feature call SSP. When this kicks in it's what Microsoft calls "reduced functionality mode". Basically you have no computer features. Sometimes the background is even black. SSP is supposed to kick in only when you are using a pirated :pirate2: copy of vista Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48651-my-new-vista-computer/#findComment-348480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric.C Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ya... they all suck, except for google eawrth :pirate2: noone should use google desktop, apparently, it uploads a copy of ur hdd to google... but one thing to do before you wipe the os off is to image it suing ghos or watever, like berfore you even start ur new comp, take the hdd out and image it. then wipe everyting off, saves you steps later in case you need some stuff off of that original copy, i heard thats how a lot of people get to use antivirus software for unlimited amounts of time even though their new pcs only came with a 30 day trial..
