Windows Vista RTM has had quite a rough ride throughout 2007, with Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Stave Ballmer acknowledging software and hardware incompatibility problems. And while Service Pack 1 is essentially designed to soften all the rough edges of the latest Windows client, Vista SP1 is not without problems of its own. In this regard, Microsoft informed of a glitch in the Configuration Data store on Vista SP1 and Vista RTM which when the user attempts to resume a copy of the operating system from hibernation is instead informed that the platform was shutdown.
“When you wake a computer that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) from hibernation, you may receive the following error message: ‘System was shutdown unexpectedly’,” Microsoft explained. “This issue occurs when the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store contains incorrect information for the Resume from Hibernate entry.”
In order to resolve the issue all you have to do is edit the BCD, which features all the boot configuration parameters and has complete control over how an operating system starts. Just enter cmd in the Search box under the Start menu and right click the highlighted result, choosing the Run as administrator option from the contextual menu that pops up. Type “bcdedit -enum all” (without inverted comas) at the command prompt and hit Enter. You now have to identify “Resume from Hibernate” segments and take note of the adjacent identifier.
Next you have to type the following command “bcdedit /deletevalue,” and make sure that you associate the Resume from Hibernate identifier, also adding inherit at the end, just as in the following example: “bcdedit /deletevalue {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} inherit.” Just press Enter and you are done. Vista SP1 will no longer shut down unexpectedly instead of resuming from hibernation.

Recently, I was searching for a utility that can be used for using the windows clipboard more effectively for fast and easy copy paste of any text/image simply with a keyboard shortcut.
I found many application on web that solve the purpose but I don’t want to buy any application for this task, after a lot of googling I found lot of utilities like Yclipper , Clipboard History etc.
But still none of them were so much powerful in their freeware mode, then I found ClipX which is completely free.
What is ClipX?
ClipX is a tiny clipboard history manager, it can be recalled via a hotkey and supports both bitmap and text clipboards. It can be used to manage and increase the features of your regular windows clipborad.
As, already said it can be used to copy any type of text, image or file in windows.
Let’s see how can you configure and use it.
Configuration of ClipX:
1. Double click on the tray icon of ClipX or just start it from all programs
2. Now click on the hotkeys option in the left sidebar and set your hotkey for secondary paste and other options (as shown in the image below).
Usage of ClipX:
1. Press the secondary paste hotkey followed by the number of the item in the clipboard history which you want to paste.
This small utility can be very productive at many times specially when you are doing programing for some application.
Tip: You can also search inside the ClipX clipboard history, explore ClipX to know how.
Download ClipX

Even though Microsoft has promised to drop the prices associated with some of the retail standalone versions of Windows Vista (specifically the Home Premium and Ultimate editions), the fact of the matter is that the SKUs of the latest Windows client will still be far from cheap. In this context, you have to take advantage as best you can of the ecosystem of software solutions built around the operating system. And there are plenty of free offerings that are worth a whole lot more than what you didn’t pay for them. The Sysinternals brand dates back to 1996, and was associated with the Windows operating system from the get-go. The brainchild of developers Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell Sysinternals has become synonymous with a collection of advanced system utilities. (more…)

You may be able to free up some valuable space if you’re using two disk partitions, using two physical drives, or dual-booting between XP and Vista on the same machine.
I’ll show you several steps you can take to eliminate duplicate files and get more out of your disks.
Decide on your multiple-partition strategy
Years ago, it was common for users seeking more reliability to divide a hard drive into two or more partitions: portions of a disk, each with a different drive letter. Back then, recovering data from drive d: was easier than from drive c: if the primary partition (containing Windows) became corrupted.
That configuration is rare today, because backup programs and disaster-recovery services have improved. But there are still three situations in which you might find yourself handling two or more partitions or physical disks: (more…)
