Hi Guys I am having some problem with my laptop. Currently i installed my lappy from vista home basic x32 to home premium x64. However because of the bit difference, i have to search for the drivers.

I think I have been told what causes this problem already, but I just need clarity and one of you experts will clear this up in no time. Every time I turn on my laptop PC, in the "Start Menu", it seems that all of the Icons have changed positions or some new icons have taken the place of previous Icons that were there the previous time I used the laptop. It seems like whatever program or...

I'm about ready to give up and return the drive to the...

(LOL, funny images) apart from that nothing is apparent, i have tried changing drive names, but i

I bought a new computer and I want to transfer all my files from my old computer. Does Windows Vista support host-to-host? As soon as I plugged my USB cable into the computers, I was asked for a device driver. Device drivers are a pretty standard thing, but, is host-to-host not supported at Microsoft now?

I have just installed Vista home premium on a new drive in a computer that used to run Windows XP X64 without any problems. My graphics are ok until I run 3D games even the simple ones supplied with Vista cause the drivers to keep resetting, the screen to pixelate into millions of coloured pixels and eventualy the blue screen of death. I bought a new NVidia 8600gt Super+ 1GB graphics card in...
