This is a Microsoft web page with a lot of great resources (webcasts, podcasts, etc.) about Widows Vista's security features.

I work for a software help desk and I have several customers that do not have the Enable Protected Mode option on the Security screen. What is causing this?

Hi.

I have just installed Vista Ultimate and have a problem with the windows update section in the security center. It's not working properly and I can only see the sign of the green line moving and that's all.

How can this be fixed?

Hi Folks,

It seems essentially impossible to ping a Windows Vista machine from within a home network. This is the root cause for being unable to map a network drive from one Vista machine to another (or from XP to Vista).

I have already done the set my network to "private" and turned off firewall (I am behind a router, which I can see from both machines in question...and can map network drive from vista to xp but not within the two vista machines I own).

First post from me. Just wondering where I may post this to create a thread that helps out users...just googling this topic (cannot ping vista) will demonstrate that this is a common problem.

As you can see from

The most annoying thing about the NEW security center over XPSP2 is..

The inability (or obviousness of the option) to switch off notifications for only one "problem".

In XPSP2 you can un-tick notification for firewall warnings.. in Vista.. you cant.. you either have "Yes warn me.. " or "no dont warn me.." and the icon only warning.

On MOST of the machines I am asked to set up.. and even after explaining what UAC does .. I am asked to switch it off.

But it then pops up the warning box.. so the only option I have is to switch that off too! Which then no longer warns them about other security vectors..

In XPSP2 I could just un-tick one of the warning options.

Thats my grumble over :)
