Apparently a ‘leaked’ beta driver. You better be desparate if you’re trying this!
-
The IT staff is recommending it only have SP1 when preinstalled, and users that already have SP1 should ‘wait and see’. Understandable from the viewpoint of the people that will have to go fix any problems that occur.
-
They’re at it again in their typically smug way.

Windows Vista includes a new hard drive encryption feature called BitLocker Drive Encryption. BitLocker can be a very useful security feature for businesses and home users that have sensitive and confidential information stored on their computer. Unfortunately, BitLocker Drive Encryption by default requires a Trusted Platform Module (TPM Chip) version 1.2 or later installed in your computer. If you have Windows Vista Business, Ultimate or Enterprise but do not have a TPM chip, you can still use BitLocker Drive Encryption.
Hidden away in local group policy is a setting that will allow you to turn on the ability to use a USB storage device instead of a TPM key to store the encryption key. This is a great feature for users that don't have the latest high-end hardware because you can still use hard drive encryption. However, every time you turn on your computer, the USB storage device that has the encryption key located on it must be plugged in. Without it, your computer will not boot up. One BitLocker Drive Encryption is setup with a USB storage device, that USB storage device basically becomes the key to your computer.
Follow these steps to turn on the ability to use a USB storage device with BitLocker Drive Encryption on hardware that does not have a TPM device:
- Click on the Start Button and key in gpedit.msc and hit Enter.
- Navigate through: Computer Policy, Administrative Templates, Windows Components and BitLocker Drive Encryption.
- Right click on Control Panel Setup: Enable advanced startup options and select Properties.
Check Enabled and hit OK.

If you remove a piece of hardware, particularly USB devices that may be frequently swapped out, without first Uninstalling it in Device Manager, the drivers remain behind, but the device no longer shows up in Device Manager by default.
Plug and Play, when it works, makes life simpler by automatically detecting and configuring new hardware as it is attached to the computer. With today's USB, smartcard and other removable media, it makes life much more efficient. But, while Windows is fairly good at detecting the hardware and installing the appropriate drivers, it is not so good at realizing that the device is gone and purging the drivers from the system.
If you actually right-click the device in
Device Manager and select
Uninstall, the device and its associated drivers will be removed. But, if you just remove the device, it will disappear from the
Device Manager, but may leave the drivers behind. Those drivers, aside from taking up space, could later be found to contain vulnerabilities and expose your system to compromise even though you aren't aware the drivers exist.
With the device physically removed from the computer, the only way to view, and thereby have access to uninstalling, the drivers is to alter
Device Manager to
Show hidden devices. Follow the steps below to display the hidden device information:
1. Right-click
My Computer and select
Properties 2. Click on the
Advanced tab 3. Click on
Environment Variables 4. Below the bottom
Environment Variables window pane
(System Variables), click on
New 5. For
Variable Name, enter
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices 6. For
Variable Value, enter
1 7. Click OK to close
Environment Variables and OK again to close
System Properties Now that you have created this entry, when you open
Device Manager, you can click on
View and then select
Show hidden devices from the menu. You can identify the hidden devices by their grayed-out icons.
This works in
XP and
Vista.

Chris Pirillo says “My rants on Windows Vista have been legendary. The only reason I’ve been so vocal about it, is because I care. If I didn’t, I’d just leave it be. As someone who felt he was slighted by Windows Vista, I couldn’t stay quiet. Microsoft has lost the community. I am trying to help, in whatever way I can.”
