CD DVD Not Working by austin
Hey, Since I installed Vista my CD/DVD drive was working and has stopped working. When I go into Device Manager theres a message: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) The Check For Solutions or Driver Update offer no solution. How Do I fix this without having access to the CD?

usb hard drive not showing in explorer by Shane
Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I have using a USB hard drive. When it's connected windows vista goes through the usual USB driver installation process without a problem, however the hard drive doesn't show up in explorer. Nor does it show up in computer management/disk management. It does show up in computer management/device manager/disk drives.

Help- I deleted something and now my computer's messed up! by [email protected]
Hello, I deleted something from my computer (by mistake). I think it was something with the ATI program. Now my desktop is all stretched out. Before, my screen resolution was 1280 x 800, now the highest it will let me set it at is 1024 x 768. Things look stretched out and blurry. Is there something I could download?

missing screen by rookieinct
I am using Microsoft Vista Home Addition and I am a novice. I downloaded a copy of turbo tax and part of the screens are missing --- no buttons. I have that problem with other software as well. I know its not Turbotax because it works just fine on my XP laptop. It's driving me crazy. How do I fix it?

RAID0 by Norsk
I made a mistake and created a RAID0 of my 2 drives. Since the drives were not the same size I lost disk space on the larger one. Can I make a full system backup, remove the RAID0 defenitions from the drives in BOIS and do a full system restore and that way get rid of the RAID0, or will the restore process require RAID0 again? Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Nordmann
