Reasonable setting of Vista common problems to solve

Vista has made a lot of improvements, but still inevitable problems, let's talk about the solution to the common problems of Vista.

First, unable to boot

Unable to boot is a more common and serious fault. Previously under XP, this kind of fault requires manual repair by the user. Under Vista, you only need to boot the machine through the CD to enter the Recovery Console, and then enter the fixboot command, Vista will automatically detect the startup failure, and automatically use the BCDMD command to repair. This is a great help for the average user and is commendable.

Second, the sidebar weather can not be displayed

In the Chinese version of Windows Vista, the "Weather" sidebar tool is not available by default. The reason is because the locale is not correct, you can fix it by following the steps below.

1. Open “Control Panel & Rarr; Clock, Language and Region & Rarr; Regional and Language Options"

2. Set the "current format" to "ld"; English (United States) )”

3. Go to the “Location” page and set “Current Location” as “United States”

4. Go to “Manage”, Click “Change System Locale", set to “English (United States)”

5. Restart your computer.

6. Click the Settings button in the upper right corner of the Weather Widget and use the Pinyin to enter the name of the city you are looking for in the “Current Location” text box. For example, Beijing can enter “"Beijing” You can check the weather in the corresponding city.

However, after setting the region to the US, some software may not display Chinese properly. Fortunately, I heard that Microsoft has fixed this problem in Windows Update.

Third, the screenshot Huaping

Many times you will find that Vista itself is no problem, but whether you use the Print Screen button or other screenshot tools, the resulting image will have a part of the screen. Sometimes it is a piece, sometimes a piece. This is mainly caused by the imperfect graphics card driver that comes with Vista. The solution is to download and install the latest version of the graphics card driver, which can be easily solved.

Fourth, the drive letter is disordered

The drive letter disorder often occurs from the Win95 era, this time Vista is more serious. If you are installing Vista from a CD, the system will set its partition to Area C, and then arrange other partitions according to management. To solve the problem of Vista's drive letter is not easy, you need to manually set the drive letter in the disk management, and then re-upgrade the installation system. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Go to “ Control Panel & Rarr; Management Tools & Rarr; Computer Management & Rarr; Disk Management & rdquo;, then set the wrong drive letters one by one.

2, restart Vista, you will receive a lot of error prompts, and can not enter the desktop. Press “Win+R” to activate the “Run” box, then click “Browse” to find Setup.exe under your Vista installation CD, click “OK” to start the Vista installer.

3, when the installation program wants you to choose to upgrade or a new installation, you must choose a new installation, so after installation, Vista will not mess with your drive letter. The old Vista will be automatically backed up to a Windows.old directory by the installer, although it can be deleted.

V. Using QQ Blue Screen

The QQ before the 2007 version cannot be used normally under Vista. When it runs, it will be blue screen. This is because the keyboard input encryption control used uses the bottom layer. Drive technology, not compatible with Windows Vista.

Solution: First close QQ, then enter the QQ installation directory, and delete npkcrypt.sys, npkcrypt.vxd and npkcusb.sys three files, you can start QQ. However, since the relevant files of the keyboard encryption control have been deleted, QQ will prompt your machine to have a Trojan virus. Don't worry about it, just use the soft keyboard to enter the password to log in.

Six, find the disappeared & ldquo; run & rdquo; dialog box

By default, the bottom of Vista's start menu is not the familiar "running" command, this It will cause inconvenience to some higher level operations. We can use the following two methods to bring up the "Run" dialog box.

1. By using the “Win+R” combination, you can open the “Run” dialog box, which we have used in the fourth question.

2, right click on the start menu, select "properties", enter the start menu property settings interface, click the "custom" button at the bottom, find in the list box below “ Show Run & rdquo; and tick, then click “ Confirm & rdquo; Exit, you will find that the "Run" & rdquo; command reappears at the bottom of the Start menu.
