How do you do this. I can see all the restores but no button to get rid of them........so how do you reduce to the last restore point?

Computer is HP with XP. I was downloading drivers for my cell phone USB cable. After it downloaded it said I must re-boot for it to take effect. I did this and now when it turns on there is a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner. Nothing else. What can I do? I must have downloaded a virus or something, who knows. How can I get it to boot up so I can see what is...

PC recently purchased with Vista Home Premium pre-loaded. DVD/CD ROM drive has stopped autoplaying, and windows explorer won't work on it (it will still work on the hard drive though). A photoviewer, AD/CD will allow me to see/explore the files on the disk, though. I have checked that the relevant options are selected for Autoplay. I have tried uninstalling the CD ROM and then rebooting,...

Hi there, I'm thinking about getting a Lacie Two Big external 1TB raid 0 hard drive to use as a scratch disk for Photoshop CS3 connected through my eSATA connection on my motherboard ( Asus p5B deluxe ). Does anyone know if Photoshop will see an eSATA drive and will be able to use it as a scratch disk? Also are eSATA speeds really the same as internal SATA drives?

My mates Dell precision 690 workstation suffers from the dreaded flashing amber light with diagnostic error code 1 and 3 before post. It won't boot at all - just the flashing amber light starts when you turn it on. According to other websites this seems to indicate a power failure of some description. Has anyone resolved this issue with Dells...next stage is probably an RMA - but my friend...

Hi, I like to connect my Laptop up to my TV when I am on Illustrator and Photoshop, and combining with my tablet, recently I had a problem with my tablet where instead of the pen would be "related" to the monitor where it would be on the display where my pen was, I pressed something on the keyboard and it changed it to act like a mouse which made it hard to use. Anyways, after some fiddling...

I have had a terrible time of trying to get my pocket pc to sync with vista. It sync'd just fine with xp and activesync 4.5, but won't do anything with vista. Any tips or settings I need to tweak or is vista just not ready to perform this ? Thanks in advance

Same problem with RC1 (2 supported video cards don't work, only the primary card as set in the BIOS works). I've seen a lot of complaints about this and no solutions. I don't know that Vista supports multi video cards at present... Thought RC meant feature complete?!?! "markesdale" wrote: Does Vista Beta 2 support dual monitors yet?

I have a unsual boot problem which I have seen with someone here aswell but doesnt work for me (Doh!). Whenever I leave my USB mouse in (Razer Copperhead) my system refuses to boot! It starts fine but just cmpletey stops but if i take it out, it goes like a rocket. I have no idea why it does it and as you can guess its not that much of a problem, but a serious pain with keep banging it in...

Actually I have the same problem with 2 'supported' cards. Don't know that 2 cards work at all in vista, only the primary from the BIOS works and the other Code 43's out... need to go find a single card that will drive 3 monitors I guess :-) "ryuujin" wrote: i have the same problem. it seems like the video drivers from nvidia (beta for vista) doesn't even support my nvidia video card....

Hi, I work on Vista and i have a P5P800 SE from Asus with a Soundmax chipset. I have found on Windows Update a driver for this soundcard. But after a short moment of using, the drivers apparently "shutdown", specialy on "skype". If i go to"services" and i restart the Windows audio, the sound come back. Do you have this problem or do you have a solution ? Thanks

Hi, I have a DWA-547 Wireless adaptator from d-link. The drivers for xp are bad for Vista RTM. Do you have the same problem with this PCI wireless card ? Thanks.

None of the drivers I have been able to find for the chip (an ST Microelectronics module) will run in Vista. Also, there does not seem to...

i think there should be a list of all vista compatible soundcards, like microsoft did with media center and tv cards, a sort of kick up the arse for the soundcard developers for being so slow in releasing drivers for old products if at all. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes. To vote for this suggestion,...

No sound drivers found for the hardwa "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) mfg: unknown location: PCI bus 0, device 20, function 5" The computer manufacturer has been unable to help me.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit what gamepad can I get that the programmable software will work with? Only my Logitech Rumble Pad 2 wont run the programmable software and I want it for my PlayStation Emulator

I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with almost no problems, except for one. I dual boot with another operating system, and created a RAID array with a different filesystem (i.e. not NTFS.) It uses the GPT partitioning scheme. Vista does recognize the big RAID drive, but it thinks it is a RAW partition. There is another filesystem on it, and I found out selecting it asks me if I want...
