A Vista Business 64-bit was booting fine until an Epson printer decided that the ink was low, put a two page document into the queue, and never operated properly since. We first deleted the printer object, connected to another printer on another workstation, and were able to print. But that failed on the second attempt to print, so we waited for the refurb Lexmark to arrive. The Lexmark...

Hi, Some people on the XP Discussion told me that Widows Vista only really runs well if it has 2Gb RAM. I know that the Upgrade advisor states a lot less, and that the Minimum system requirements is less also. Is this 2Gb need/want true, in what cases, and why? Is it just that Vista runs much smoother on 2 GB RAM? Thank you.

I have extraneous sounds left over from viewing a Web page video. I have done all the anti-virus/Spybot/reset Internet Explorer tricks that I can think of. Brand new Dell came with Vista. Ignore it? Or anyone have hints for fixing the sound card?

when i remove a driver in device manager, then restart, vista automatically installs a preconfigured driver. is there any way to disable this? what i want is for vista to stop and ask, i.e. "new device found, would you like to search for the best driver or install a driver from a cd or other location"...

Mac, These error codes always include an error message. Could you post it? The code likely has more than one cause, and the message accompanying the code can provide a clue as to which direction to look. -- freddy "Mac" wrote:

I have this 35mm film/slide scanner that attaches with a USB cable that works under XP but not Vista (64). Vista can't find the driver even when I point to to it in the Windows/system32/driver folder (usbscan.sys). Is there something else I can use.

Sigmatel drivers have a well known solution to monitor the Mic Input through speakers/headphones in Vista, by adding EnableMonitorInput in the registry. It only worked with Sigmatel. I finally found a similar solution for Realtek drivers.

I have a new pc w/ vista, 2 sata hard drives. Everything was fine, then a week later the slave drive disappeared. The BIOS recognizes the drive, but Vista doesn't. I've seen enough threads on here w/ no resolution. System restore is not an answer. Microsoft - Fix the problem.

I called microsoft yesterday asking what will be done via this problem for those who cannot get updated drivers for the Sigma Tel audio driver. The problem is Sigma no longer makes audio drivers and passed it off to another company who told me they are not making updated drivers at all for this type of audio codec. So how do you get updated drivers if you cannot? I have been on many forums via...

Hi, I have a DWA-547 Wireless adaptator from d-link. The drivers for xp are bad for Vista RTM. Do you have the same problem with this PCI wireless card ? Thanks.

I have an HP Media Center m470n and it allegedly has an 'Asus PVR-416' TV/FM card in it. Worked fine in XP/MCE2005 but I didn't dare try the XP driver in Vista. I don't know where to look for drivers. Anyone have any luck with this? -Rob
