During the eveningtime, the spacebar on my keyboard stops working. I am almost certain it's not the keyboard itself because I tried using the spacebar using the On-Screen Keyboard, using a diff. keyboard, and connecting remotely and in all those instances the spacebar didn't work. So it must be a software issue. Any ideas?

I have to add my complaints as to why my USB devices which were working just fine suddenly turned GENERIC after one of MS's famous updates. I mean, I had My Book read as My Book (F) in My Computer; now if I am lucky it loads a generic driver and doesn't register at all in My Computer. In fact, I haven't been able to utilize any of my external hdds because of this. The frightening thing is...

Hi. I recently purchased a 32GB Phason ExpressCard SSD. I tried to use ReadyBoost with that but I couldn't find the ReadyBoost tap in the drive properties. I surely checked the ReadyBoost service was running and also checked the ReadyBoost tap appeard when I plugged another USB memory. But, just for the SSD, there was no ReadyBoost tap. So I thought that the SSD itself do not support...

I know this has been talked about before on this forum but nothing on the forum (that Ive tried) solves the issue. Basically, Ive downloaded a large set of files to an external hard drive. They are all .mov files. The file is no longer listed in the program that i used to download with. (after the download was finished I cleared it from the download list) So now the folder (and all the...

I am trying to get Windows Media Encoder 9 (WME9) to encode video from ATI 650 TV tuner card. I am running Windows VISTA Ultimate operating system. I can successfully encode input from ATI 650 for 20-30 minutes then both the input and output display on WME9 simply "freeze" with no warning or error message. I do not have any restrictions on CPU or hard-drive space and tons of extra...

Dell Ispiron 1420 - almost brand new. Vista Home. A collegue from another office brings it to me. It cannot see my wireless network! (It can't see it in her office either) (I verify that it is on, check all the settings - It can't see a thing.) Cable network connection works perfectly. I bring it to my computer dealer - same thing. He thinks setting are fine. I do Dell connect over the internet...

I have an Asus P5Q-E running Vista 64. Is upgrading the motherboard chipset worth the risk, generally speaking ? -- cutchips

Hi all, I am in the U.S.A., East coast. I have purchased a new Toshiba A135-S4427 notebook that came preloaded with Vista Home Premium, on a 120GB HDD. Using SMC to look at the HDD, it shows up with a partition before the main C: partition:

Hi all, I have a Toshiba A135-S4427 Notebook that came preinstalled with Vista Home Premium. I want to use Partition Magic ver-8 to repartition the HDD into 3 total partitions, in other words - I want to creat 2 additional partitions.

Since my initial install of Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade Academic Edition. I've had a few graphical problems which I'll list. 1. All Windows Vista games (Solitaire, Freecell, Minesweeper, etc) crash the moment I load them. 2. When I open an image and choose to start the Slide Show through the Windows Picture Gallery, Explorer.exe crashes. 3. When an application is started and requires...

There are so many posts in this group along the lines of "Why is my device not supported?" I'd like to suggest how we can all deal with the problem. Let's get a few things straight first: 1) It isn't Microsoft's job to write device drivers for all the hardware out there 2) It IS Microsoft's job to enable the device owners to play their part (they have done this) 3) The device manufacturers...

This has been driving me crazy since I bought this laptop w/ Vista. How do I stop the pointer from choosing to activate a link on it's own, without me double-clicking? If I'm on a web page, if the pointer happens to rest on any hyperlink or regular link, it goes there. I want to double-click myself if I want to go to a link, not have windows vista pointer do it automatically. What can I...

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have been running Vista RC1 and RC2 since the day they were released. I like Vista so much that I decided to make it my sole OS on my 2 computers. Also, I wanted to start playing with the Media Center functions so I went and purchased an ATI "Vista Premium Certified" tuner card, the new TV Wonder 650. I put the card in an open PCI slot in my...

Windows update offered me a driver update for the above device (it is based on a Ralink chipset). I opted to download and install it. All seemed OK until my PC asked for a restart, when it hung on the "Shutting Down" screen and I eventually had to power it off. The PC then refused to boot up. It went through the POST fine, through the initial Vista boot-up screens, then, after a few...

I have an HP 932C Deskjet printer that works just fine with my Gateway computer running W-2000/Pro. I just switched it to my other computer, an HP running Vista Ultimate. Printer works (mostly) fine as near as I can tell. I have found one quirk so far. When I select a portion of a document, and the hit print, and then on the print menu I select print selection and then OK, the printer...
