AutoRunはWindowsプログラムを自動的に開始する
Windowsのあらゆる最近のバージョンにAutoPlayおよびAutoRunとして知られている特徴がある。 These functions are designed to launch applications automatically from a external device containing the necessary AutoRun information. This is what causes an installer window to pop up when you insert a software disc into your CD or DVD drive, for example, or makes a pop-up menu icon appear in the taskbar tray when you insert a USB flash drive. (In some cases, the action doesn’t occur until you double-click the flash drive icon in Windows Explorer.)

When a disc is inserted or a drive is connected to your system, Windows looks in the root directory of the new disc or drive for a file named autorun.inf. If found, Windows executes the instructions in that file. (more…)

While Windows Vista is indeed an evolution compared to its predecessor, Windows XP, there is a cocktail of minor glitches with the new operating system that have contributed actively to the product’s rough ride so far on the market. When, even before Vista hit the shelves at the end of January 2007, Jim Allchin, the former Co-President of the Platforms & Services Division described it as neither foolproof nor perfect, he was right on the money. With Vista, a range of issues also came to the table including hardware and software incompatibilities, reliability and stability problems and poor performance under specific scenarios.

And just such a scenario involves the integration of certain DVD-R/RW drives with the latest operating system from Microsoft. (more…)

Re-installing Windows can be a traumatic business, it’s bad enough having to backup all of your data and re-install your programs but the worst bit is tracking down all of the drivers for your hardware and peripherals. Here’s a simple way to avoid the hassle, a freeware program called DriverMax. It finds and exports all of the drivers on your PC to a nominated folder or compressed Zip file, so there’s no need to waste time hunting down discs and downloads. When you have reinstalled Windows simply run DriverMax, import your saved drivers and you’ll be up and running again in no time flat. The program comes as a 30-day trial but you can apply for a free registration code and it’s your to keep. (more…)

After weeks of gruelling troubleshooting, I’ve finally had it confirmed by Microsoft Australia and USA something as small as swapping the video card or updating a device driver can trigger a total Vista deactivation.

Put simply, your copy of Windows will stop working with very little notice (three days) and your PC will go into “reduced functionality” mode, where you can’t do anything but use the web browser for half an hour.

You’ll then need to reapply to Microsoft to get a new activation code. (more…)
