The mapping of kernel streaming WDM audio devices to waveOut, waveIn and mixer devices appears to be quite different to previous versions of Windows, and is causing problems with multichannel sound cards. Each output pin seems to map to a waveOut device named only by the pin type (for example ...

Hi. Wouldnt it be better if you could have a vector file saved as a xaml file for each size rather then an image? so youd have a 16x16 vector xaml file rather then having to save it as a png?

I absolutely hate the excess of wasted space at the top of the open IE windows. Unlike XP there seems to be no way of reducing this to a minimum. Hardly worth having a large monitor when a full 1/4 of the top is taken up with address bar, search, tabs, and tools. Although you can unlock it, you ...
Programs like Avast Av won't allow IE to access web pages. If you turn off the On Access control then you are fine. Don't know about other AV programs yet. TTFN.
No matter what is done to change permissions nothing happens. You can't even install apps like Incredimail as you aren't allowed access to system32 and no changes of permissions anywhere allows access. Without access the installer can't see the mfc.dll and so can't install. TTFN.
Many programs that were relied on to provide security simply cannot be installed in Vista. At least not yet. Zone Alarm and Diskeeper to name a couple. Hopefully they will have updates out for them to be used with Vista. TTFN.
