Mic Mute/Unmute Button by John Ciccone
In XP, I'd click on the speaker icon in the system tray and have a mixer. There I could mute/unmute the microphone input. In Vista it seems like I have to go through a myriad of dialog boxes: Ctrl Panel sound speakers Level. Am I misisng something? Is there a shorter path? If not, can I assign a shortcut key? Thank you

USB keyboard not working on start up by A7X808
Occasionally, my microsoft usb keyboard won't function when I start the computer, but it's fine when I re-start. This isn't a big problem, but I was just curious as to what could be causing this to happen. Thanks -- A7X808

Windows FAX & Scan and Canon MP780 by PvdG42
I have an MP780 attached directly to my Vista Ultimate box and I'm trying to get the FAX function going as the FAX software that came with the 780 is not Vista-compatible. I have full scan, copy and print functionality, and it appears that Vista recognizes the 780 FAX functionality because I was able to add "Canon MP780 FAX" as a device in Control Panel-Printers. It shows as ready. OTOH,...

Problems with scanner, Windows Update in Vista 64 bit by simonageorgescu
I got a new computer, HP Touch Smart All in One with Vista 64 bit. I also got a scanner, HP scanjet G4010 that was supposed to go with Vista. Yet, it doesn't install. It downloads the software, (tried both from enclosed disc and from the website) but then it gives an MSI Error Error 1935 and the installation is aborted. Also, the computer doesn't accept the XML Core services 4.0 Service Pack...

Nasty problem with nVidia onboard NICs in Vista x64 by Scott[_9_]
Hi all. For 9 months at least I've been happily running Vista x64 on an ASUS P5N32-E SLI motherboard with nVidia nForce 680i SLI chipset, with dual onboard NICs. I keep current with the MS patches (Vista is currently SP1). Following a reboot, and I believe some auto-installed MS patches, my NICs have stopped working. After the reboot, what appears to have happened is Vista has installed two...

Unbootable Hard Drive by Bill
I fried my hard drive last week. Dell has already installed a replacement drive. My question is that the os will not recognize the old drive at all. Like an idiot I forgot to backup my files. Is there a workaround? The disk drive does not even show up in the recovery function.

Vista and 4 gig of ram by Super1
I thought I posted this yesterday but I don't see it. Sorry if this gets posted twice. I have Vista Enterprise with 4 gigs of ram. I have 4 sticks of 1 gig each. Vista only sees 2813. I can remove any combination of the sticks to have three left and it will still see 2813. If I remove 2 it does drop to 2046. Is there a setting to get Vista to see 4 gigs? Do others out there have 4 gig...
