• MSDN Windows Vista DVD (disc 4455.01) - too big to make local copies?

  De : Steve F

  Let me give a few quick information. (If you don't care that go to paragraph 3). I am the administrator of the program for the software system MSDN Academic Alliance here at my college. We have our system MSDNAA configured via E-Academy, so that students can sign it, sign up for a MS product, get an online product key and then go visit to get the installation media.

  We have a method of distribution of DVD copy custom on our site: instead of students to download ISOs of the software they want (which may take more than 18 hours on our trendy slow campus), allow us them copies of MSDN distributed under the MSDNAA program disks. From a functional point of view, this is equivalent to letting students discover records and return them, but it allows them to have access to their installation disks for the long term (with an extraction program does not). It was working fine, until recently.

  From the summer of records received 2008, titled "Windows Vista with Service Pack (x 64 and X 86) (English)" and numbered "Disc 4455.01", DVD discs indicate that 5.7 GB and are therefore too large to copy disc-to-other.»»» I usually just our students burn a copy to retrieve and install, but now Nero won't let them, saying that the disk does not fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD media. This leads to several questions.

  First of all, why the Windows Vista DVD is distributed via MSDN liked 4.7 GB? Is it a double disc layer or some other new technologies, and if so does that mean that it will cause problems in certain student DVD players? If it is a standard DVD, then why he reported to 5.7 GB when the standard tops out at 4.7 GB? Is there a way to copy it, or are we stuck with only one departure program?

  I suppose another option would be to download and burn copies on MSDN, but the representative MSDNAA told me it would be identical to what we received in the mail. Does this mean that they too will be 5.7 GB, that is to say, too big to burn? (When searching in the MSDN Downloads, I see not a disc image that matches one in front of me, but rather separate downloads for x 64 and X 86. Maybe that's the answer.)

  In any case, this is really two questions. The first is, why the Windows Vista DVD to 5.7 GB and that problem? The second is, I somehow a version of the Windows Vista DVD that students can actually use to copy so that we can continue our program of distribution of copy?

  In an aside, technical support E-Academy sent me to support MSDNAA, which sent me to MS software Support, who told me MSDNAA had a support agreement for media support and they could charge me $250 or send me here. Then... I am here.

  This is because, as with the movie DVD here now drives media 8.2 GB double layer (DL).  These are fully supported by Nero and you CAN copy them as long as you use the double disc layer and a writer of the double layer.

  Yes, it's a disc double layer (not exactly new technology). Large capacity is needed to adapt the WIM image format now used for the distribution of the operating system.

  Not too big for burn - you just have to DL discs and a DL burner.

  Yes it works as the unique images ISO MSDN x 86 and x 64 are compatible layer because they are less than 4 GB

  No handset x 86 and x 86 media is available in some programs - it can be put at your disposal, as the media you provided are perfectly usable for installation of software etc.

  Are you sure that you are allowed to make "copies" of the media for distribution, you have the option to purchase spare media and that's what you are supposed to provide students, if you are authorized to distribute copies of MSDNAA software to them. If I'm not mistaken the front of the drive has still the text - do not copies of this disc... "is it not?

• The screen visuals are too big

  After stopping for the night, a ' install updates and shut down ' was launched. The next day, newspaper on desktop, to all the screens of the site web, etc., Visual of the screen are too big. How can I get this back to fix the little plus size.

  Hello

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  'Remove an update - Windows 7'

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the performance and security of your system.

  You can also go to the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card or your computer > Search a drivers and download article > search your computer or your graphics card model number > your operating system > drivers for it: is video / graphics / Chipset (according to the label) > download and install the drivers.

  You may need to change your DPI settings. See the link below:

  Make the text on the screen larger or smaller
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller
  You can make text and other items, such as the icons on your screen easier to see by making them bigger. This by increasing the dots per inch (DPI) scale. You can also decrease the DPI scale to make text and other items on your screen smaller, so that more information fits on the screen.

  If at the end you can not click on the button 'OK' because it is hidden, press your 'Enter' key (OK is defined as the default value).
