funky_boogaloo
I have recently upgraded to Vista (what a nightmare) and when doing so, I
needed to update my drivers for my UPS - APC Powerchute Personal Edition
v2.1, for Vista.
Yesterday my PC cut out; there was no power cut, but the PC shut off

4GB RAM??? by
mtogni
I have a brand new pc with Vista Pro and 4Gb of RAM DDR800 on board. BIOS
correctly recognizes the right amount of memory but Windows don't. It reports
only 3,5 RAM. Am I missing something or it's a O.S. limit?
Thanks in advance.

Can't install LaserJet 2500 by

My brand new Vista system refuses to install the software for my
LaserJet 2500 printer. I know it's supposed to use the generic PCL6
driver for this printer and that seems to get installed ok, but there is
no communication with the printer.
I can't even add it as a network printer when the printer is connected
to an XP system. HP and Vista say the corect software is supposed to be...

Frozen mouse after Vista upgrade by
patruns
Upon upgrading to Vista, my mouse stopped working. I have installed and
uninstalled it and tried both a PS/2 mouse and a USB. After reading of other
related issues on here I thought to completely uninstall all of the original
mouse software to make sure it did not conflict with Vista. According to
Logitech, there is no current Vista driver for my mouse but if you uninstall

ALL USB Devices need drivers??? by
Digitalfuzz
Okay, after a SMOOTH install of Vista H.P. Ed, EVERY USB device I plug in
gets a "Windows Need to install Drivers For your device". Flash drive,
printer, MP3 (Zen), Wireless Mouse, Etc. These devices are supposed to have
"native support" drivers built into Vista. Anyone have a suggestion as to
why Vista isnt loading drivers for ANY USB devices?

Can't get CD/DVD drive to work in Vista by

For months the DVD burner in my system was working fine, but in the last
few days it stopped working. Vista detects it and loaded the device
drivers, but it does not initialize the hardware properly. (I always
get error "code 37".) Note that the system does detect that the DVD
drive is there, and the driver does get the model number from the drive.
Just to make sure there wasn't an...

I am using Vista Home Basic and both of the processors are AMD K8
Processors. Each processor is 1.8GHz for a...

HDD not recognized by
S Murder
All of a sudden Vista won't recognize my Samsung hd1600jj 160GB SATA II
Drive, or my Samsung CD/DVD Reader/Writer. It's asking for the drivers, but
I never needed drivers for them in the first place.

Vista blocking recordings by

Hi all:
I decided to install Vista Ultimate as a test on the PC we use to run our
plasma TV where we have had MCE for at least the last 2 years. We have
always been pretty happy with the setup, a few performance hiccups here and
there but nothing worse than I have seen with any PVR. So now that Vista is
on there, a movie just came on the kids channel that I wanted to record, and
I got a...
