I had every one of these words in arabic transcribed on a dictionary I made with visual basic. There was never a problem until I started using window vista. I had xp. You can see that the words arabic script is incorrect. Somehow the first and last position of the two symbols are reversed...How did this happen. My Arabic Dictionary was completed 3 years ago. I have never had a problem before with this program. Now I will have to do the entire program over agian. From scratch....

We have developed a 'deployment tool' (say program A) which need to modify system registry, etc info which requires admin rights. This program will be triggered by another program (say program B).
Question, when B call A, how can B initiate A with admin rights? is there any command like A.exe /runas admin or any other way to achieve this. Please note that both programs are developed using VB6.

how to get working aero in Visual Basic 2008.I am making this media player and got everything I need for that. But what I really wanted is aero since Windows Vista got a nice interface and a few lucky people got it.But the tutorials I got worked great on Windows 7! However, I couldn't get aero because of a transparency key. (I swear I use a color picker to see if background color and transparency key are the same color.)I can't get it to work any piece of code I give.But the good part is that aero WILL work on any 7 or Vista without any form change, but the text is white with blue specks and that is not what I want.
EDIT:i found how to do it now! you need to use the property UseCompatibleTextRendring and put it to True. Now the problem is how do i do the same for the rest? (microsoft was to lazy to edit the controls)

So I'm a bit new to the whole Vista/7 audio setup. My understanding is that a new "mixer" is created for each application. Is there some new .Net function which interfaces with these mixers? I'm actually trying to create an application which can adjust the MAIN system volume level as well as the mute function.
I was looking at the Endpointvolume API however I cant get it to work for me :(. Does anyone have a vb.net demo of how to harness this API?

Durring game play of a game I am designing, I recieve a lovely crashing event in which my computer tells me that "vshost" has stopped working. Also, i get a message after debuging that tells me the problem is due to a compatability error between my version of windows and the version of C++ that is running.
I was not aware C++ was running. Can anyone offer any explanation for this? I will gladly share the code and the game with anyone interested. So far both computers that I have attempted to play the game on ultimately ends in a crashing vshost or windowsapplication1 but the second computer was able to run the game smoothly for much longer.
If anyone wants to try the game on your own system I will e-mail it to you, (small file) 4.7 mb
I'm curious to know if it will crash on every computer.

Using VB6 to create a file and then open the file just created fails when run on a Vista client with Windows 2008 Server. The same code will work when run directly on the Windows 2008 Server or when using an XP client. If a Sleep 10000 is placed after the close, the program will work. What is the problem here? The code is as follows:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetTempFileName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempFileNameA" _
(ByVal lpszPath As String, ByVal lpPrefixString As String, ByVal wUnique As Long, _

This is an extension of this post: [URL]
The reason I am starting a new thread is to be more concise; explain the exact issue I now face in detail. Reading my last thread may help, but what I provide here should be sufficient. I am basically trying to find the best route I should take for my program as far as UAC and Vista is concerned. My program (SysPad) is accessible through my sig).
My program requires constant write access. The purpose of my program is to provide access to a quick notepad-esque program that is directly accessible from the Notification Area. It saves every time the user types into one of the textboxes.
The issue lies in the fact that when UAC is enabled on Vista, there is no folder that is writable to without elevation to Administrator rights. The hitch is that my program is designed to be a startup utility and the issue is that a user who has UAC enabled will have to allow my program through UAC confirmation every time my program runs at startup.
Basically, I am looking for options that will resolve this and make it less "painful" on the end user who uses UAC.
Basically, the only idea I've been able to come up with that is least annoying/intrusive, is to create a Launcher.exe program that does not require elevation and have it sitting in the Notification Area with the same icon as my program at startup. When the user goes to access the program, it then launches the actual program (exiting the launcher) thus invoking the UAC verification.
Of course this would happen every time they boot their PC or restart my program; but, at least they won't be asked for UAC verification as soon as their PC boots.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I really would like to get this to work with UAC as best as possible. Otherwise, I could just make my program check if UAC is enabled, and if it is, tell them they can't use my program lol. But, I'd rather not do that.

I have a program originally compiled in VS2008 on a WindowsXP Pro box. The program uses Microsoft DAO 3.5 Object Library to access an Access database.
When I try and run the program on Windows XP (any version) it runs just fine. If I try and run in on Vista (any version) it doesn't work. When I try and run it on Windows 7 Pro, it runs fine. I really want it to run on Windows 7 Home Premium, but I get an interop error anytime I try and access the database.

i have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

I'm trying to make buttons that will open each of the "special folders" in Windows Vista. Here's an example:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
Process.Start("explorer.exe", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments))
End Sub
As you can see in the above code, the button will open the Documents folder. My problem is the only folders this method can open are the documents, pictures and music folders, while I also want to open these folders below:
Downloads
Videos
User folder (aka the folder that has the user name on it)
Computer (aka My Computer in XP)
how to do that?

I develop applications in Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio 2005) for a long time on Windows Vista without problem.
Now, I'm changing my laptop, and the new has installed the Windows 7. So, I reinstalled VS 2005, taking care to install the Vista compatibility. Thus, the version of my current VS 2005 is 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600) SP2. And that is my problem.
When I ran the application in debug mode (F5) on Windows Vista, a windows appeared whenever there was an error, like below:
Now, on Windows 7, the application just shows a exception message in the Immediate Windows, don't showing any error window, continuing the application execution, as below:

I have a program that has been running well under both Windows XP and Vista. Recently I tried installing the software on a Vista x64 machine and the program keeps crashing at runtime. I have tried running in Windows XP compatability mode and other solutions but nothign works. If I run it on the machine under Virtual PC using Windows XP I have no problems. The only two clues I have are these 1)One of the error messages I got when the program crashed said "missing dll file" and 2) the error log viewer shows that the error involves kernel32.dll This problem feels like it is way out of my league ont face value.

I have an application that works fine on Windows XP. However I have taken the same application and made some modifications to it to run on vista the app loads fine etc.
the problem stems from trying to change a service in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesDiagnostic Service Host
Start = 4 instead of 3 (which is what it is currently set to)
when the program tries to change it I get a dialog box with the information below. How can I makes the changes to the registry without getting these kinds of errors. I tried to get the Framework configuration tool but it talks about XP and Windows 2000 for VB.Net 2005 so I am not sure what to do... I should mention I have only been programming for a month...

On windows 7, if i right click the exe and run as administrator, it runs fine. But, i can't expect my users to do this every time they want to run my app.
