Sharekhan's SpeedTrade on Vista 
Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 06:41 PM
If you are thinking of using Speed Trade on vista than you are in a real problem
This software is a premature kind of software.. (a low quality software or not well developed or unprofessional)..

What you can do:

1. May be this software is developed in Java,
Windows Vista has Java version 1.6 and the software is developed using Java version 1.4.2 may be this is causing a problem.

to fix this remove the Java v1.6 first and then login to htttp:/www.sharekhan.com/speedtrade/login.aspx
and download the Sun Java, IE Patch 1,2 and DSClient and install them. (to restore java v1.6 back, you can download it from google, search for 'jre download')

2. Contact the Software Company that has developed it for Share Khan. They may give you support..

This software is developed by Spider Software.
You can contact them for support here:
hxxp:/www.spidersoftwareindia.com/support/support.htm

3. If finally everything fails..
The last alternative that will surely work..
format your PC remove Vista and install XP until an updated version
of speed trade for vista does not arrive in the market..

IIS 7

About IIS
Hi there,
I have recently buyed an Windows Vista Laptop with Vista Home Premium and it has IIS 7 included.
I am not sure about Vista Home Basic, weather they have included IIS 7.
Also, the bad part about IIS 7 is it does not include SMTP Server.

SMTP Server Issue
Windows Vista comes preloaded with IIS 7 (I don't know about all the edition but at least Home Premium, which I have) but IIS 7 does not include SMTP Server, so if you want to send a mail through IIS you need to have an third party SMTP Server, or wait till the SMTP Server for IIS 7 is released.

You can download a free SMTP Server at:

Firewall

I have been using Outpost in XP...
But its not available for Vista.
Only Norton and Jetico(free but difficult to use) are available..
Can any one suggest a good firewall for vista?

It really difficult to get softwares for windows vista.

MS SQL Issue 
Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 06:33 PM
Windows Vista has released... but Microsoft's SQL Server is still in beta stage..
If you buy vista, you cannot use MS SQL with it, its still not out in the market.. only beta releases are available but this beta releases are not yet stable.
So, if are using MS SQL than you need to wait to upgrade to vista atleast till 2008.

User Access Control

User Access Control
This is one of the bad thing implemented in Windows Vista.
If you are running any software that worked well in XP, it wont run in Vista. For that you need to be part of Administrative Group.
This thing is know as 'User Access Control' in Vista.
This is causes a lot of problem so it better or recommended to switch it off.

How to switch it off:
Start > Control Panel > (Select the 'Classical View') > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off > off it > Ok > you are done.
