This forum is moving the week of 1/27/2009

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 05:41:47 Z

Microsoft has created a new forums platform (MSDN | TechNet | Expression | Microsoft) with increased performance, stability, and an improved user experience. During the week of 1/27/2009 this forum will move from the Forums 2.x Platform (http://forums.microsoft.com/) to the Forums 3.x Platform. To make sure this is a smooth transition, we want everyone using this forum to have a chance to try out the new forums in advance, and give feedback. We’ve created a Sandbox forum, where you can create threads and try out functionality, and a suggestions forum where you can give us your feedback. Please take some time to go to the new forums today and let us know what you think.

On the day the forum moves to the new platform, a post will be made letting you know the process has been started, and the forum will be locked to new posts. Once the process is complete, a final post to the forum will be made letting you know the forum has moved.

1. All posts in the forum will be preserved

2. Any points you’ve received for replies will move with you (on a per forum basis)

3. Any bookmarks to this forum or threads within this forum will redirect to their new location

4. Your “My Threads” will be preserved on the new platform

The only thing you’ll need to do after migration is set Windows Live Alerts for any threads you were tracking.

If you have feedback, let us know in the suggestions forum or contact the forum product planners directly at Andrew.Brenner at Microsoft.com or Jeremy.Kelley at Microsoft.com

Thanks,

Alicia

Hi there,

I am Vishwas. I got the Toolkit from Microsoft which is a 2007 one and I have Vista OS and I am not able to install the MCL Layer and unable to install the SDK for vista and all other drivers. Please let me know some good website or some good links which might help me.

Thanks

windows service pack1 sound problems

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:01:46 Z

after I installed windows service pack 1 my sound card started acting strange, I could play cds/dvds and music that I downloaded but windows sounds and audio over the internet stopped working.

I did a new install of windows vista ulta. and got everything back . Now my updates wants to load service pack 1 again but I need to know if the problem is fixed before I reload it.

wondering if microsoft could consider an update that adds processor management to windows xp home & later..

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 00:48:02 Z

I currently have window xp home but am very disappointed that my 3.06Ghz processor's dedicated fan races from time to time when I am not even running programs that demand strong processor power.

I wanted to suggest the adding of 2 things, a processor kernel usage control manager that would run in the background which would be controlled by a tab added to the windows task manager. Within this tab would be a slider for default processor use between 20-100% with an initial setting of 50%.

Ok, I did get a chance to use Windows Vista Home for some time so I realize that Vista already does something like this but here is where I wanted to take this suggestion to the next mile. For microsoft to add a performance tab in the properties settings for all files which, if not for anything else, would have the same slider adjustment but overrides the default for that file's performance handling. Maybe in the future, additional settings for that tab and subwindows triggered from it can further optimize the performance for these files for other things from video acceleration to multichannel sound optimization to advanced networking options. In cases where numerous files & programs are used and there are manual settings "such as, for example, where a program and the file to run on it both have their own ideal settings", the highest processor setting would be used.

With this in place, suppose I wanted to play a game that only requires 266mhz processor performance, I can set the slider to, say, 20% and now the processor's fan wouldn't have to labor but suppose I downloaded some 1080p wmv-hd videos with 5.1 sound, I know it's going to demand performance, both to decompress the video and keep up with the frame rate. Under their tabs, I would set the performance slider to 100%. I don't mind a little fan acceleration to cool the processor when I know the machine is trying to run such a processor intensive thing. This is also good for some older games to where older more simplistic written software along with excess processor power may cause issues in the games performance.

Finally, it would also be great if while this slider is adjusted, the approximate processor performance would be displayed so, for instance, suppose a recording program requires at least a 750Mhz pentium processor, I could slide the slider to that point for the given program's performance tab in its properties so that the machine will run as quietly as it can while still being able to complete its task.

Please consider adding this for a future windows update for windows xp home and/or tell me what you think or know about this. I would love to see the suggestion implemented
