Okay...this is wild...So I moved my pc from one side of my desk to another. It required me to unplug everything and plug everything back in once the tower was moved. This means I unplugged my USB port mouse in the process... So when I plug everything back in, I didn't immediately notice anything and after a short while my cursor freezes on my desktop. I realize that the mouse is, in fact,...

My vista 64 setup is working great, except for one annoying glitch: every time I boot up from shutdown, Vista freezes (while that green progress bar is going back and forth). If I then press the reset button, it starts up fine. This behavior happens in safe mode and in normal mode.

I recently upgraded my sound card to an Azuentech X-Plosion Cinema (Nice card BTW) which I connect to my receiver via coax. I also connect my Xbox 360 to the receiver via optical. The dilemma: Both the coax and optical inputs on my receiver are on the same input (Sat/Cable) which means in order to hear sound from my 360 I must disable the sound card in device manager and then re-enable it...

I have a desktop running windows XP. I have 2 hard drives, one is the master and the other is jumpered as the slave drive. I want to mirror the master so that the slave is exactly the same.

If my hard drive crashes I want to be able to change jumpers on the slave to make it the master, reboot the machine and keep on...

Hello everyone, I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit with 2 graphics cards. The second card should be an independent display (not part of the desktop), and shouldn't have a monitor attached. However, I still need to create a device context on it. The problem is that CreateDC fails on the second display with ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_READY. On XP the call to CreateDC succeeds. Why is this and how can this be...

Anyone know how to create a new profile? I know how to add and remove services in the services tab but can't seem to add a new profile. thanks, Bill -- bigbill

Hi, the creative drivers for my Audigy 2 works fine under pre-rc1 but not under RC1 I'm using RC1 x64 version versus x32 for the pre-rc1 release. anyone as the same issue?

Everytime I have tried to update the drivers, I get the error "The driver installation file for this device is missing a neccessary entry. This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor" These are the latest "Vista approved" drivers for that card, but...

Ok the problem is !!! Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. After installing the Software to use n callibrate all 6 speakers (5.1) the software would not start at all. Software can not start because its missing the compatible Drivers or something. But in Device Manager i can see that i have - Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM)

I was an early adopted with Win95, Win98 and XP....
