How to create multiple hardware profiles in Vista? by
DMIOM
Laptop (Sony Vaio TZ11, Vista Business) works OK using the auto-created
"docked" and "un-docked" profiles
However, this laptop is now used, as well as moibile, in two different
offices, each of which has their own docking stations - each with their own
different networks, printers, external displays etc.
In XP we would have just created a (copy) hardware profile and then allowed

CF card not accessible by
[email protected]
I have a 6-in-1 internal USB card reader in my PC running Vista Home
Premium SP1. It recognized the CF card the first time (maybe the
first few times) I put a CF card in the reader. Now however it does
not. All the drives show up on the Computer screen but when I double
click on the G drive, it says I need to insert a drive. From the
Control Panel, I go to the Computer Manager/Disk Management...

Mr.Lionfish
I am running Vista Ultimate 64 updated to SP1.

Integrated on the motherboard is a VIA gigabit Ethernet adapter.
Prior to SP1 install it was working fine. I connect to the internet by LAN

SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio by
Aaronb
After loading Vista Ultimate on my machine I keep losing my sound. The sound
works when the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio driver is installed, but
"automagically" that driver gets removed and the RealTek 97 AUdio driver gets
installed. I have to go to Device Manager and remove the driver and then
search for new hardware to reinstall the SoundMax drive.
Any ideas on how to lock the...

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what the creative x-fi cards are like to use with vista
x64. I remember back when vista first came out, there were major issues with
the drivers. Have they fixed these issues?

Please help with external drive issue by
Rob[_22_]
I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 21 320gb PATA (ultra ATA) hard drive installed in
an external case that I used on my previous OS - XP Professional. The case I
had purchased from NewEgg and it worked really well via a USB connection. No
software was necessary, I simply plugged it in a USB slot and it was
displayed as a Mass Storage Device. I have tried the following with no luck:

Code 10 / 19 DVD Drive RESOLUTION by
Fred Munro
You need *some* experience with notepad and device manager for this to work.
After trawling the net for a solution and finding none that worked, I
thought of my own.
This is only for VISTA
Uninstall your code 10/19 devices in Device Manager
Open Notepad and copy the text below

HD added with SATA doesn't show up by
Foreverkul[_2_]
So I finished adding a Western Digital 160GB 10,000RPM HD, made sure all
the plugs were correct, and using SATA. However, when I started up my
computer it doesn't show up in Explorer, so I look at device manager and
it is listed there. I also went to the BIOS where it is also listed. So
I know the computer knows its there, but why can't I access it? I've
researched similar problems but could not...

HP Photosmart 8250 printer give away by
Dennis Davey
The HP 8250 printer ( borderline warranty!!) jammed up and left me with new
original HP 363 color cartridges - three in the printer and three still in
sealed packs. If anyone living near Exeter is interested in a real
bargain, just get in touch. I don't want to dump the whole lot, but it has
got to go somewhere.

Afternoon all.
Here's my problem;
I'm using a generic logitech USB mic with my vista computer, and it has
worked great for about the last 6 months or so. I use it with Ventrillo
and the speech recognition on my computer.
Anywho, today, all of a sudden with no updates, hardware chanegs, etc.,

DVD not working after failed SP1 install by
Andy G[_2_]
6 days ago I had a Compaq notebook (6720s) that was working OK, although USB
functionality was pretty random.
Then I tried to install Vista SP1 as offered by Windows Update. The install
failed. 2 different System Restore points also failed.... Terrific.
Now the system no longer shows DVD drive in My Computer or Computer
Management, but
it shows in Device Manager as not working, no drivers.

Docking Issues with Peripherals by
Allen Rosenthal
I have been docking my notebook for over a year with NO problems. Recently,
however, when I dock my notebook (hibernated or fully powered), the 'device
failed to connect' sound plays, and my mouse and keyboard fail to come
online. Oddly, the monitor activates as usual. The only solution has been to
reboot the laptop while it is plugged into the dock. What could be causing
this? (Side note: I...
