I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, but I have had a simillar problem in the past with XP 32-bit. I'm using the Realtek HD Audio drivers (latest version) the codec is ALC882 and my speakers are Altec-Lansing 251 series 5.1 surround sound. I have no problems with 5.1 sound like many it works perfectly fine except in a few instances. Problem 1: When watching DVD movies if my speaker...

Ever since I installed last weeks Vista security patch (KB925902), Vista no longer see's my firewire external hard drive. Does anyone know if Microsoft has released a patch to fix the problems that KB925902 has produced? Thanks

I have had problems with vista since installing it and trying to use a wireless network. I am using Dlink DIR655 and DWA652, and most of the time it comes up with unknown network, even though it connects to the network, but does not seem to get the IP address through DHCP,so IPV4 is local and IPV6 is limited. Every now and again it will work, but I have been trying to get it work for the...

Recently, after much vacillation between getting Windows XP or Vista on a new laptop purchase, I settled on a Gateway laptop with Vista Home Premium. I just bought an Adaptec Fireconnect IEEE 1394 PCMCIA card to perform some video capture. The Adaptec website said there should be Vista drivers available on the Vista CD (wrong!). Well, when I plugged in the card, the computer failed to...

This is happening in both Ventrilo and in game sound set up from a MMO I play but it was showing as...

Wireless is a must as I am sick of getting the wires in the way, clear sound is crucial also. Any recommendations, anyone use a wireless set, I have having a very hard time trying to find one that will do the...

I recently bought an Ipod Touch and when I tried to connect to Itunes from my computer the device was not automatically recognized by Itunes. Instead I got Vista's Autoplay menu which gave me the following three options: - Import pictures using windows - Open Device Using Windows Explorer - Take no action When I go to the device manager and I look at the properties of my Ipod (under...

Hello all, Another one of the countless problems with Vista I am hoping someone might have an answer for. Velocity Micro, 256 MB video card, 4 GB RAM, dual-core 2.66, Vista Ultimate. Integrated sound. When the computer starts, everything works perfectly well... well, Vista being essentially a joke, but when it isn't crashed BSOD, it works fine. I start Adobe Creative Suite products,...

Hello, Vista Ultimate... two Lacie external drives, a 500GB USB and a 250GB Firewire. When I go to My Computer (just Computer now in Vista of course) the act of opening that process in Explorer hesitates / hangs / delays while Vista is waiting to sort of spin up these external drives, you know it feels as though Vista has told them to suspend or something when not in use. I have tried...

Hello, I have a dell dimension 4700 with a soundmax audio card. I found lastnight while installing vista that there is a conflict between vista and the current driver for the audio card. After talking with a microsoft rep, and over an hour on the phone, that the driver was indeed stopping the computer from shutting down...i would hit shutdown, and it would just reboot. I would get a message...

I have a 6 month old HP Pavilion dv2310 notebook running Vista Home Premium. My problem started when I hooked up my iPod for the first time. After syncing with iTunes I noticed that my CD/DVD drive would no longer work. Sure enough, the iPod had taken the E: drive designation which had been used by my CD/DVD. So, I used disc management to assign another drive letter to the iPod and...

I am not getting any video or audio on my 37" Toshiba Regza from my laptop. The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6565 with a HDMI port. It is less than 2 months old. The connection worked fine for the first couple of times it was hooked up. The only problem I noticed was a lag every once in a while when trying to watch a movie.
