I have a HP Pavillion a1632x which came with XP, but was advertised to be upgradeable to Vista. Later on, this option was not supported. This falls on false advertising! Doesn't HP have trial drivers? I called HP, but they don't seem to support Vista for this machine. Last week, I was infected by a virus and was unable to recover my XP OS. I received a copy of Vista at a trade show, and...

I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 with 2 GB of RAM, all WU's, Firefox, MBAM, SuperAntiSpywareProfessional, CCleaner, Spybot, CA Security Suite, and WLM. The machine's running just great but after the last restart (to complete the uninstall of Ad-Aware) my little Lexmark All-In-One printer icon is missing from the notification area. It's usually placed right next to my network icon. I've...

I recently purchased a Sony Z5U HD camera and tried connecting it to my Vista Premium 64 bit notebook. Windows does not "bong" and recognize anything is connected. If I plug in an older camera, it works fine as it should, so I know the firewire connection is working correctly. Also, I plug in the same new camera to an XP tower, and it works great. I contacted Sony and they said Microsoft did...

I am using Windows Vista Home Pre 46 bit. I have tried several different cameras and vista will not allow the computer to send data to the camcorder (print to tape) but it allows the camcorder to capture (send information to the computer). I am using a 6 pin to 4 pin fireware. Everything worked fine in Windows XP. -- Anthonean

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...

Just discovered a 'potential' bug in Vista x64... how unusual is that :D I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop, 4gb ram running Vista x64 Ultimate. I only recently upped its ram from 2gb to 4gb (replaced 1 x 2gb with 2 x 2gb Crucial). I always used the laptop for transferring pictures from a 1gb Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo, without incident. Yesterday was the first occasion since the 4gb memory...

I apologize for my ignorance, but I just can't find an answer. I notice that the SATA DVD Burners, such as Sony and Samsung, do not have an audio output. Does this mean that it is not required to connect the audio output to your sound card if the drive is SATA? Thanks for any information.

If you have purchased the laptop from Microsoft partners like Dell, acer etc. between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007 then you are eligible for Express upgrade to Vista. It is not free entirely free, you have to just pay minimal Shipping & Handling ,Charges. Please visit the below site for more details...

Using a Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 graphics card in a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista Home Premium. Having several video related problems. There appears to be no Vista dedicated driver available. Any ideas?

Help me out guys - I fired up my brand-new gaming box running Vista home Premium and alas, no sound... The device manager says the sound card is working properly, but when I attempt to update the driver to the latets version, I get an error that reads, "You have previously updated the driver without rebooting. Reboot your system now." I have rebooted many times without avail. I have also tried...

I have the same problem. MFC-6800 that worked fine with XP pro doesn't work with Vista x64. I am using USB connection and Microsoft built in drivers. Scanner works. Printer doesn't. If I use "Print directly to the printer" option in Advanced tab of the printer property dialog I am getting the following error: "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooterfor...

I'm having a few problems, and if someone could help me with them, since I've dedicated ENTIRELY too much time to fixing them, with absolutely no positive results. #1.) I don't know if it's important, but "npkcrypt" is apparently either missing or damaged, according to Device Manager..... I imagine there's no file that's missing that can be GOOD, but I figured I'd ask if there's a way to...

Since installing SP1 on my desktop, I have experienced a very frustrating problem coming up over and over again. I try to set up or attach a USB device, and instead of connecting, I get a message that the driver can't be found and asking me to insert the disk. When I click that I don't have the disk, I invariably get a option to search for the driver, but it is never found. This has...
