Vista Help

[Ghost^BHT]

anyone familiar with Vista sound settings ? I use winamp shoutcast to stream music broadcast and can't get anything to work right with vista. everything worked fine w/ XP. Seems like no one has any answers.

Have you checked the firewall settings?  If you don't know what to do, try (just for a second), disabling the firewall entirely.  If that works, re-enable it right away and post back, and I'll try to figure out what settings it needs.

Do you broadcast stuff, or do you just listen to other folks' stuff.

Ah the fun of Vista

Just go the wife a laptop with Vista , she need to xfer all her crap from old machine to new machine but i cant get vista to see other puters on the network .

Connected it to internet no problems , read a few bits n pieces and followed a tutorial and still cant get to see other puters on the network

Disabled net security , vista firewall and nothing

No problems with that part here...Make sure all the PCs are on the same workgroup and that they have different names.  If they're using tcp/ip, make sure they're on the same subnet.

The only problem I'm having with my Vista install right now is when it's previewing video files, especially if they're xvid.  That's causing Explorer to crash which is a PITA.  I can't live without xvid or divx, and the divx codecs are far worse.  Not Vista's fault though, it's an xvid bug.

Jim: Im not at home right now so i will hive the firewall a try later. I'm broadcasting (djing) or at least i was until VISTA! lol

I have come to the conclusion after asking everyone in the universe (almost) that my only solution right now is to partition the hd and make it dual boot with xp on the other partition This blows bigtime.  Or wait 3 years while micromoney gets if figured out.

I read some of the docs for your broadcasting program.  It looks like you just need to open one port on Windows Firewall and it'll work.  Did you try disabling firewall to see if it worked?  Or is this a categorical Vista no-go?

Hmm I will see about that Jim. But everyone else I talked to said it won't work ?? I just need to get time on the server to check it out. Thanks
