On my desktop, I have a been using a PCI to PCMCIA adapter with a 54Mbps PCMCIA card on a XP for a while, works fine. I tried installing the same driver under RC2 and it will not work, any idea ? Best regards, DS

I have an external hard drive I use for backups. Is is a USB 2.0 device and it's been working great to date, with XP SP2 speed has been OK. But since I have installed VISTA RC2, it is incredibly slow.... like it's a USB 1.1 device, like the 2.0 drivers have not loaded properly or something. Under XP when connected to a USB 1.1 device or hub, a message pops up alerting that it would run...

I found out that my external DVD drive with firmware 1.29 was the cause of my Vista Ultimate 64 bit lockups and sudden power offs. So I removed it from the enclosure and put it on the IDE channel on the motherboard. Now if I put a disc in the drive Windows pauses all activity except for already open windows and programs. I can call task manager, but until I eject the disc it doesn't appear. ...

The default software that comes with the Epson scanner is great for everything but the negatives I want to scan. The sizes they let you select for the negatives don't match the negatives I am working with. So instead of seeing 8 separate pictures it sees 6. I downloaded Vuescan from 'VueScan Scanning Software' (http://www.hamrick.com) and it at least lets you scan the whole negatives strip. I...

Hi all - I cannot seem to get the wireless 360 pad for PC to show up in Halo PC. I have updated the drivers. Also the controller light is flashing constantly - does that mean anything as i've not used one before. I was sure you would be able to use this thing for Halo ?

I have a Philips SBCHM200 microphone connected to my Realtek HD Audio (ALC 880) via the front pink jack. The microphone is partially working as it clearly plays through the speakers of the PC. It appears on the list of Recording Devices on the Sound dialog and is selected as the default device but when tested it plays through speakers but the recording bars show no activity.

::I installed vista x64 ultimate RC1 on a Gigabyte E45-UD3R motherboard with 8 megs of RAM. Everything seems to be working fine except for the DVD read/write drive. Incidentally the hard drives are SATA but the DVDROM is an ide device. If I put in a blank disk and then burn some files to it everything is fine and responsive. However if I put this same disk in at a later time and try to view...

It appears that Realtek made an OOPS yesterday (July 24), with the Version R1.72 package for their High Definition Audio Driver. I installed the driver twice, noticing the driver wasn't actually updating their previous R1.71 package. The driver version remained unchanged after the update (Version 6.0.1.5443, dated 7/10/2007), and was not reflecting the version noted in their README (Version...

I purchased an Amcap video cam (cheapo) and it worked fine for some time. I had some issues with some processes and had to restore my system back a few days. That worked, except the Amcap program does not now work. Then I had some register problems and purchased Uniblue Registry Booster for a fix. I believe the fix worked because my DVD player now players; it did not before. I tried...
