Don't ask... but I've managed to compress the partition of my HD with my Vista install on (by checking the little box on the HD properties in Vista). So now whenever I try and boot up I get an error message saying
"BOOTMGR Compressed, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
I've already tried the stuff a google search brings up ie:
Win Vista DVD > Command Prompt>
C:
expand bootmgr temp
attrib bootmgr -s -r -h
del bootmgr
ren temp bootmgr
attrib bootmgr -a +s +r +h
But I still get the error after i've done that. I've tried doing that for every archived file in the C: root directory and that still doesn't help. I've downloaded Hirens Boot CD and tried a load of tools on there (including zeroing my MBR and then getting windows vista to fix it with its auto-repair feature) and i still get the same message!
I guess with Vista, the command prompt is gone. How can I look up IPCONFIG information in Vista?

I know you can type slmgr -rearm to continue using the trial period for a total of 120 days. However, I can't get to the command prompt, as all I see is the web browser. Is there a shortcut command or something I can do to get to the command prompt?...
Just bought my wife a new laptop, watching it finish setup as I type this.1] Command prompt?? Where'd it go?2] Office 2003 work reasonably well w/ Vista? She doesn't want to upgrade to 2007.
Hi all,
Just a quick intro: I've written a driver for Vista64, and need to sign it. I have signed files before, and am familiar with the process. I used signtool.exe (this is a common file with many versions, the latest version is apparently distributed with the Vista WDK). Now to sign kernel mode drivers in Vista, you have to cross-sign with a certificate depending on your root CA. This is done using the /ac option of signtool.exe
