Need info on using a web cam by The Learner
Perhaps this is the wrong newsgroup for getting information on the use of a web cam - but, if it is, please point me in the right direction. I can't find a newsgroup for webcams. Thanks.

I would recommend the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy to anyone. by Omar123
*I spent a lot of time searching for a good scanner at an affordable price. I tired many different ones before I found Search-and-destroy Antispyware but when I tired it I was very happy with the results. I would recommend the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy to anyone searching for a great scan that works just as well as Norton and many of the others that you would pay more for....

Mouse 'Magnifier' Function Unstable by John Ciccone
Hello. First time I set up the right side button to 'magnify' on this MS Laser Mouse 6000 in Vista 64 bit, clicking it would cause the entire display to flash on and off a couple times before teh magnifier. Very disturbing. Recently had to do a new install, and it now works perfectly. Today I upgraded another computer to Vista 32 bit, and it exhibits the same problem (display black, then...

Possible to detect prohibited graphics hardware acceleration by UlrichK
I read in a lot of places that disabling the graphics hardware acceleration might be forbidden with Windows Vista. I also have a computer/graphics card like this: the slider/option in "Troubleshooting" is missing and it says changing this setting is forbidden by the driver. My question: How can I detect programmatically that disabling the hardware acceleration is prohibited? This is useful...

Vista won't recognize 2nd HDD by chris7519
I got a second HDD yesterday due to my old one running low on space. Both are hooked up via SATA, both Seagates, old one is 320GB and new one is 500GB. When I installed it, I was able to format and assign it a drive letter and copy files to it. When I turned the computer off and on, it was gone. My BIOS can read it, the device manager can see it, the Disk Management can see it, but every time I...

Microsoft Mouse BT5000 can not install by Carlos[_6_]
Hi all, I've been trying to install a MS bluetooth mouse 5000 to the Vista Ultimate partition in a Macbook pro with no success. The irony is that is works flawlessly on the MacOSX side but not under Vista... Sometimes it can be detected, and supposedly able to add it to the list, but when I open the bluetooth wizard again, the device is not there..

Is There Any Hope? by Bunbear
Yesterday, my computer blanked out and started a funny noise with the on button flashing. I tried to shut it down, but it wouldn't. When I got a "hot" burning smell, I pulled all the plugs real quick! Is there any hope that my hard drive is still there? If not, my second questions is should I get Windows Vista instead of the XP that I am used to..? I have been reading (on my husband's...

Compaq nx7010 ATI Drivers... by Keith Jetton
I agree with JO's post about the ATI drivers. I installed Vista RC1 last night and found out about the video issue. I found that if I disable the AGP port that my laptop screen is fine, but there goes the dual monitor support as well. Right now I have it setup as external monitor only. I have also tried to download drivers at ATI direct, but they do not have drivers for the ATI Mobility...

No native Vista drivers for ATI Radeon 9000? by Torben Gundtofte-Bruun
Hi all! Is there no native Vista driver for the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB? I've looked at www,ati.com (and ati.amd.com) but the only Vista driver pack is "catalyst_8-31-100_vista32_rc2" which doesn't include the 9000 cards. My computer gets a rating of 1,0 because Vista doesn't detect any RAM on the card. (Other components get ratings of 2,6..4,8.) But I don't think the graphics card is the...

LG 16x DVD Burner not working (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B ATA) by JeffO
I have an LG 16x DVD Dual Layer Burner that works EXTREMELY SLOW 5% of the times but most the time just freezes when burning. It can read ok, but burning anhy sort of cd or dvd is pretty much a coaster. I checked the LG website to see if there are any updates, but there was not for my model. I contacted LG but they said there is nothing they can do, I'll have to pray that microsoft releases...

Vista is not recognizing my Camera by DakoRakkun
I'm having trouble with my camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-W70) and Windows Vista. What happens is that when I connect it through its USB cable, Vista tries to look for a driver and can't find one, which is strange. I recently formatted, and my old installation of Vista recognized the camera perfectly, autoplay would popup when I connected the camera, and I could see the camera on My Computer...
