I'm using Vista 64 Home Premium SP1 with Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP2 and have several USB controllers for yoke, throttle and rudder pedals, all CH Products. I have the latest drivers from CH installed and they work fine -- until I close FSX, run something else and then reboot FSX. Then I lose one or two USB devices, seemingly at random. The solution is to unplug/replug the devices each...

I just bought a new PC with an Intel DG31PR Motherboard and a Seagate 320 GB ST3320613AS SATA2 drive. Everything was working fine, so I decided to add a second SATA2 drive. I bought a 750GB Seagate ST3750330AS and plugged it into the second SATA port on the motherboard but it was not recognized by the BIOS. Finally figured out that the drive only works in port3 and not ports 2 and 4. Could...

Hi, New to the Vista world and I recently upgraded from an older computer. Now I have an IDE HD that I would like to add to my set-up. My problem is that my MD does not have an IDE connection. I have a lot of pictures that I need to retrieve. I am not computer expert, but have no problems adding components. Is there a certain controller card or adapter I can use that is compatible with...

I'm running a simple home network under WindowsXP Home with my Vista Home Premium 64 box networked to the XP box, hardwired through a wireless router. My Epson printer is running on the XP box and is set up to be shared on the network. Trying to print from the Vista 64 machine, I get a message telling me I need the correct driver installed.

Every other day my computer randomly crashes with a blue screen. This happens most frequently after I have woken up the computer after sleeping it. When I turn it back on after the blue screen it says that there is some kind of problem with wireless networking. I have tried several different options, but nothing has worked so far. I have a Gateway M-1615 laptop with an AMD Turion64 The...

About 8 months ago I put together a computer running Vista ultimate 64 on an EVGA 780i, 8gb ram, and Intel E6850 (3.0 dual). Everything went smoothly, and it hasn't had any huge hiccups since. About 2 months ago I picked up a Q9400 (quad 2.6). I shut down my computer, installed it, and re-booted. The BIOS detected the 4 2.6 cores in the POST. Windows did a little firmware fiddling on its own as...

All of a sudden, my HP laptop cannot write to any of my sd cards. It says they are write-protected although they are not. I can write to my cards on cameras but not on my laptop. I have tried the trick with the tape but it doesn't work as it seems the trouble is on the laptop. I have tons of stuff on my laptop and it's big trouble to restore it. Is it actually Windows issue or hardware?

When I wake from hibernation, I often blue-screen now. Vista says that it is because of wireless. The crash information: Fault bucket 0x50_athr+1102, type 0 Event Name: BlueScreen I recently applied Vista Service Pack 1 and also downloaded a video game. Any ideas? Should I uninstall Vista SP1?

I'm running x64 Vista and I keep having issues with my Plextor Px760 Drive not appearing. I researched this issue and found out about removing the upper and lower filters in the registry. I deleted my UpperFilters key (I didn't have any lower) and this did fix the issue, BUT...
