So my cd/dvd drive doesn't show up on my computer. I have a dell inspiron 5315 desktop. I searched the forum here and found nothing that worked. I tried to uninstall it from my device manager but it would reinstall itself upon reboot, i tried to delete my upper and lower registries for the drive but I don't have lower registry for that. I also checked my autoplay settings but everything was fine...

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 have just purchased a new computer (Gateway FX7026) and I am wanting to link my Wireless Cable Modem Gateway SBG900 (wireless router/modem) up on it. I do not have the original CD (which was before Vista even came out), but I do have a flash drive and have loaded the "Vista Drivers" off of Motorola's website found here...

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...

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..

Does anyone know where I can find a decent whitebook/barebook? (preferably at a low cost) Thanks. -- MasterAlex

Ok. So, I firstly I have Windows Vista Home Premium on an MDG Visionbook model: MS-10342B. This comes with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (model 900 or 950 not sure which but apparently it uses the same driver). The driver can be found on a third party site that I have. I'm not sure if we're allowed to post 3rd-party sites on the forum, and also it doesn't really matter for the issue...

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...

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...

Every time I log on to or begin to log off from Vista I am prompted by the Windows updater to install an updated driver, but the update always aborts with the message that the installation has failed The updater says the driver is for "Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter", which is integrated on my ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE motherboard. The...

I have an Epson Stylus CX4800 all-in-one printer with built-in card reader. If my printer is turned off, Vista will not cold-boot (restores from hibernate with no trouble, though). As well, some applications or installers won't function properly (ATI Catalyst installer hangs while searching for hardware, but continues the moment the printer's turned on, and Acronis TrueImage hangs while...

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...

Hi, I have a dual monitor setup with one of the monitors rotated 90º. I used to use nView or Pivot Pro on Win XP but neither of these will install on Vista. Is there any other software that would do the job? My graphics card is a Geforce FX 5200. Thanks, Richard
