I have gone to the Sony website, and it tells me that Vista includes the driver for the DSC S-70, and the Sony website does not provide me a driver to download for Vista. Can anyone shed some...

Dell Docking Station - External PCI Card Not Detected by DavidEdwards
Hi guys, I have a Dell Latitude D520 laptop and a Dell D/Dock docking station. The docking station has a PCI slot built in for standard PCI cards so when the laptop is docked the extra device becomes available. Under Windows XP the cards work perfectly when you dock the laptop.

Verify that your handheld is connected to a powered USB charging source and that the proper USB driver is installed." When I check the device manager, it shows that "the device is working properly".

Docked/Undocked Profile by DavidMo
Is there a way to reset the 'docked' profile in Vista Ultimate? after months of working just fine, when I put my Dell M90 on the port replicator, it boots up to a black screen and the only thing you can do is move your mouse around. If I take it off the replicator, it boots just fine. I'm thinking that 'docked' profile has somehow become corrupted.

USB External Hard Drive Spin Down by David[_2_]
Please, I have a question(s) about my external (USB) Maxtor Personal Storage 3200 Disk Drive and how to "re-enable" it to spin down after a fixed period of time related to inactivity. When I initially installed the drive it did spin down after a period of inactivity. It would, logically, only spin up if you opened Explorer or when the Backup Utility started. I don't think I made any changes...
