Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 by Mark_S
I have a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 which has its on charger. Last couple days when I set the mouse on its chargers it blinks green a few times and them rapidly starts blinking red. I have a new battery in it and it still does the same thing. Tried resetting the bluetooth adapter and have read everthing online and cannot stop it from doing this. Just to make sure I tried another...

Scanner Problem by Mickey Mouse
My scanner (CanoScan FB 630U) won't run/install on Vista Premium, incompatible drivers. Although I might get it to work using Vuescan, I'd like to know whether you can get Vista to run in XP mode for incompatible software. My scanning is very infrequent so can't really justify the price for Vuescan. Mickey

question about drive letters by Robert[_19_]
Once upon a time the letters A and B were reserved for designating floppy disk drives. Now that those drives are obsolete, why has the standard not been changed so that hard-drives or DVD drives can be labelled A or B. Are those two letters doomed never to be used again? Or are the powers-that-be in the computer industry saving them for some future use?

2 Gig SD card issue resolved? by Mark C
Greetings. I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, SP1, and my multi SD card reader can't read 2 gig cards. It can read other cards with less than 2 gig. With the 2 gig card it just sits and tries to read it, doing nothing at all, no offer to format or even open a window to view. I've seen many others that have this issue. Has this been fixed to anyone's knowledge? Thanks in advance. -Mark

Toshiba M305D-S4830 DVD drive disappears by Filthgrinder
I just bought the Toshiba M305D-S4830 which has Vista Home Premium 64bit installed. The drive keeps disappearing. When it is working and I open up Device Manager, it suddenly refreshes and the drive is gone. No error message, the drive is just gone. It cannot be ejected, but the light on it is flashing all the time. A reboot brings the device back, but only for a random amount of time.

Graphics Tablet on 2 Screens Stops Working by Cam_M
I am having a problem with my graphics tablet. It works just fine on both screens after a reboot, however after a little while (I am not sure what exactly is causing it to do this) it just suddenly reverts to my main monitor only, and nothing I do seems to make it work again aside from rebooting. Also at the same time that it stops working on both monitors, I also no longer get the "Ripple"...

Vista and 7.1 surround sound by Morose
Hi everyone, I run Vista Ultimate on an Asus A8N-Sli Premium motherboard, which is equipped with a Realtek AC97 audio adapter (fully 7.1 enabled sound). Since I've upgraded to Vista I've been able to persuade vista to let me run standard output out of Itunes through both front and rear speakers. I have found the Speaker Fill Enhancement through "Sound" in Control Panel, but that forces a...

Can an expert please tell me why my PC has two Gigabit LAN controllers? by Stan Kay
My computer motherboard is an ASUS P5B premium which contains dual gigabit LAN controllers. I am using one for my home network and everything works fine. In these circumstances I do understand why a second gigabit LAN controller is provided. Am I missing a trick here somewhere because I cannot see what purpose this second controller might serve. Can someone please tell me?

Since installing SP1 on my desktop, I have experienced a very frustrating problem coming up over and over again. I try to set up or attach a USB device, and instead of connecting, I get a message that the driver can't be found and asking me to insert the disk. When I click that I don't have the disk, I invariably get a option to search for the driver, but it is never found. This has...
