Hi - I keep getting a blue stop error screen when I try to restart or shut down. Then I always get a message that the computer did not properly shut down. Here are the codes: STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x000000000, ox939ECD64, 0x00000000) Can anyone decipher what this means and how to fix it? Many thanks!

Update your video card. Thats the problem -- rowanrg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rowanrg's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/rowanrg.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/1039913.htm http://forums.techarena.in

I installed a USB-related update through Live Update last night and when I rebooted my computer my mouse & keyboard no longer work. They light up, and the keyboard works in BIOS so I assume this is a driver issue. I've reseated them, switched USB ports, even tried them in the ps2 ports but nothing seems to work. I've even tried a different mouse & keyboard but I get the same problem.

The latest drivers for Vista work fine if I plug in the camera after booting, but every time I boot with the camera plugged in, Vista says it can't find the drivers, and it won't work until I unplug and plug it back in. Any ideas?

The motherboasrd on my old computer went out, and the computer wouldn't even turn on. I salvaged the old hard drive, though. How do I get some of the old files/programs out of that old drive? I tried hooking it up through my external backup drive, but nothing comes up. Do I have to change/remove the jumpers in the old drive to make it a "slave"? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Since I have installed Vista, I can't get my ancient Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 to work with firewire. It works on USB, but this old mp3 player only functions at USB 1.0 speed, which is a bit slow when transferring files. My question is, is firewire supported in Vista? The firewire setup worked like a charm in Windows XP Pro. Ros

I have an odd thing happening with my Outlook (we use 2003). After the upgrade to Vista Business, parts of the folder names (down the left side) are now cut off. They are not in a straight line, but cut off in a jagged manner down the entire length of the panel. I have considered reinstalling the outlook, but thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and see if there is another...

My sound issue is similar to some I've read, in some ways. I upgraded seven computers to Vista (over the weekend), all the speakers worked when I did it except mine. However, today I find that in addition to mine not working two other computer's speakers stopped working. Both of these computers are actually new systems, both came with Avista Home prior to the upgrade, and both have Dell...

I successfully paired my bluetooth headset with Vista. When I paired them, Vista opened the Found New Hardware wizard and wanted to install device drivers. No disk came with the headset, so I told Vista to search online, and it found nothing, and told me the driver installation failed. But the headset does show up in bluetooth devices in Vista as an audio device. In its properties, on the...
