I love Vista after MY BIG 3 FIXES !

To avoid the hassles in Vista, just:

I.) disable that horrid User Account Control OFF for crying out loud. Go to
Control Panel and sniff it out under User Accounts.

II.) to get around that Media Center / Media Player crash when you look at
video icons in your library, download the famous CCCP codec package at
http://www.cccp-project.net/download.php?type=cccp

III.) disable that creepy Data Execution Protection crap or "DEP" with this
process...

1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. Right Click on Command Prompt
5. Left click on Run as Administrator
6. Click the Allow button if it asks you for permission
7. Type or copy and paste this into the command prompt window:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff


8. Hit enter and you should see the confirmation: Operation Completed
Successfully
9. Reboot and DEP should be off.

This is what your friends crooks, malware writers are waiting for: for us to
disable UAC.

You guys resort to some very imaginative tactics. Very "clever." "Vox
populi" out of gutter.

Pillock! You've just undone two years' of development work, and now your
machine is just as vulnerable to security challenges as XP!

Why did you bother to upgrade?

Personally, I've done none of your mods, and I don't get problems with UAC,
or DEP, or anything else. Vista genuinely works really well for me. I just
can't see any point at all in buying Vista if you're just going to
"downgrade" it to XP again.

Unless you're running legacy apps, UAC hardly ever comes up. I get a UAC
prompt maybe once a day, if that.

Joe Duffy,

The information and advice you are giving is stupid. I'm not saying
you're an idiot, I'm just saying that your advice is moronic.

If you're not running incompatible or legacy software you will seldom
see a UAC prompt. If in fact you do see a UAC prompt is for the purpose of
protecting your system. My advice is to leave UAC enabled.

Installing codec packs on a computer will do nothing but create
conflicts within the system. My advice is to install only the codec, not the
entire package.

There is no reason to turn off DEP. The only time DEP will come into
play is if you visit a bad website or try to run programs that shouldn't be
run. My advice is to leave DEP enabled.

If you are having problems you are causing them yourself by not knowing
what you are doing. As they say, the biggest cause of computer problems lies
between the keyboard and the chair.

I feel sorry for the people who take your advice. They will soon visit
these forums seeking answers to their problems caused by your idiotic advice.

If my comments offend you please accept my apology. My bluntness is
caused by your rediculous and unintelligent comments. Feel free to criticize
me for my comments. Undeserved criticism rolls off me like water on a duck's
back.

Have a nice day.

C.B.

The crashes in II and the DEP errors in III are quite possibly the same
problem: you have broken/bad third party codecs installed to your system.
If you identify the crash information from the Problem Reports and Solutions
Center control panel-
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
- it might be possible to deal with this in a more productive way.

If you install CCCP, that still leaves the broken codecs on the system.
If you turn off DEP, that still leaves bad software using memory badly. =\

Of course he is not stupid. Malware writers seldom are.

He is moronic though, that's correct. He wants others to be as insecure as
possible. I am sure he is running Vista with double UAC installed
