Hello, I bought a new notebook from Best buy about a week ago and I just upgraded it to Windows Vista Home Premium. The software installed perfectly fine, but there is something that I am now noticing: The harddisk makes a clicking noise once every minute sequentially. Now, when I had Windows XP Media Center edition installed on my notebook I did not have this problem. I even called...

My father recently bought a new computer with Windows Vista, the only real issue is that we can not get it to recognize his Lexmark 4350 Printer. I have tried to load the driver from the orginial CD, I have tried downloading a new one, but the system will not print. Any ideas what to do next?

Have Microsoft really turned their backs on their older mice? The Vista-compatible version of IntelliPoint (v6) only seems to support Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 and up, but I have an original Intellimouse Explorer USB, which works fine under XP. Under Vista I can get a basic level of functionality, but I can't customise what the extra thumb buttons do. Surely it wouldn't be hard to add...

I have a quick question. I have 2 LCD monitors, 1 is a viewsonic 19" and not HDCP compliant, the other is a 22" Samsung and IS HDCP compliant. Assuming I have a HDCP compliant videocard what happens when I open 'premium' content such as BluRay HDDVD etc. Will it run full 1080p on the samsung and just not on the viewsonic? Also what would happen if I drag the video player from the HDCP...

Ok, so tonight I installed an upgrade of Home Premium onto my system. Everything was going fine until I decided I should probably upgrade my video drivers for my 6600GT. Upon doing that, I restarted and got a BSOD with the words: SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX Couldn't get the 0x0* numbers, but I finally figured out it was a hardware problem. Tried reverting back to old drivers, reinstalling...

Hello Everybody, I've installed Vista on my computer and try to connect my PocketPC Ipaq 3630. I've already installed the last Windows Mobile Device Center (6). But when i want to synchronize my device, I've got the message (System Not available for the oldest versions of Windows Mobile Only Windows Mobile 2003 or Post versions). Have you got an idea ? Thanks. john

I know that nVidia doesn't have drivers to enable SLi in Vista so I have a question. I have a new system that I just took out of the box. It has dual video cards. Does it matter which one I plug my monitor in to? I hope I don't sound too dumb but this is my first foray into this area.

When Vista boots up i always get a media player has stopped responding error. This happens whenever i have a xbox 360 plugged into my router. xbox 360 turned on or off makes no difference. Unplug it and pc boots up with no errors.

I am thinking of making the jump to Windows Vista (Ultimate 64) in the very near future, as I am building myself a new Clovertown computer. From what I hear, however, at this point in time there are serious driver issues with many major hardware manufacturers (including nVidia and Creative, to name a few). I also heard that it might be possible to try Vista before purchasing a license. I...

Is there a way to remove the password from the old drive??? Please help, I have paperwork piling up AND I have to...

But don't get your hopes up too high. Most of the really glaring bugs still haven't been fixed (or even touched)

Hi guys, Back in build 5600...when I started building my machine, I decided that it was a good idea to have a perfectly normal looking 3.5" floppy drive. Now - BIOS reports it normally, even the new version of device manager reports it normally. When I try to access it, it reckons that the disk in drive A: is not formatted would I like to format it now? I reckon that's kewl, it has a
