I have installed Windows Vista Home Premium. When installing from scratch the internal DVD/CD drive is properly installed and working, as are all other devices. But from time to time the DVD/CD simply disappears from the system. Last time : it was changed in a removable disk. I think it has to do with using my Nokia E61i als an external hard disk. The same happens when using my iPod...

Howdy all, I searched all over the net and can't seem to find any info on my problem. I got a blue screen about a week ago caused by something with my Graphics card(during the blu screen I was able to read something about graphic memory dump I believe) This makes sense, as I had just clicked to exit NWN2(the game that came bundled with the card). Anyway, ever siscne that, it has booted slowly...

Then i go to my computer and find nothing. So i...

How do you get Windows Vista to activate the screen saver, sleep and hibernation while the wireless mouse is running? If I unplug the USB connection the screen saver sleep and hibernation work normally. I have a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000.

I wanted to post some of my testing results with my Linksys WMP54G wireless NIC dropping connection to my WRT54G router. I have been playing with the "Advanced" properties of the Broadcom driver that Vista loads as Linksys does not have any Vista compatible software available for use. I used the Broadcom drivers default settings for about a week and was getting connection drops several...

After installing an upgrade to 5600 I tried to install - a compact flash - 2 different usb sticks - a cf card, sd card, memory stick card reader on USB All have the same issue. The USB storage driver installs but the device driver underneath fails with the error "Disk Drive" The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) The parameter is incorrect.

I have a 1-year old Satellite Laptop with Vista and plenty of RAM & the such. Since last night when I try to click on something there is no response. No right- or left-clicks have any results. This is happening every 5-60 minutes. The only way I can get it to work again is to Control - Alt - Delete to get the Windows Task Manager. I don't have to do anything further once that window...

I have searched the forums through and through, i have removed filters from the registry, rebooted, deleted the driver from device manager and let the system reinstall. When I put a disc in my drive, autoplay does not start or anything. I have checked the autoplay settings and they all seem to be correct. I can put a music CD in and go to Media Player and play the CD. but when I go to my...

If it wasn't for this darn wireless Linksys card that stops working so much, I might just keep Vista. Does anyone have any ideas before I resort back to XP Pro ? So far I have tried : o Loading different drivers on the card o Loading different firmware on the WRT54G router (Linksys, Sveasoft, & HyperWRT) o Checking in vein for updates from MS and Linksys o Turning WEP on and off (even tried...

Hello, I work at a college and students are bringing their new laptops with Vista (all different version) into the Help Desk because they can't connect to our wireless network. They connect to the access points, get an IP address, but can't go anywhere. Google comes up and you can search for anything and get a response, but when you click on a link it just sits there and doesn't go...

This has been happening on my system since Beta 2 and I have an Nvidia 7800GTX card (so not just an ati problem) and my monitors are both Viewsonic G220fb's. If I unplug my Viewsonic monitors and plug...
