I have am thinking of buying a new Gateway desktop system. I also picked up an ATI HDTV Wonder card. The Microsoft Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility List website claims it is compatible and the "x86 Driver available as part of Windows Vista". I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this combination and whether it really worked. Thanks for any information.

I am trying to sync up my Cingular 8525 with my PC (running Vista). The moment I plug the USB cable into the phone the PC asks for the password, I type it in and WMDC tries to connect and then says: Error! I deinstalled WMDC and reinstalled it but have no luck. Can anyone help? I was on the phone with the Microsoft helpdesk for 4 hours and they can not figure it out. I think it has something...

After a clean install of Vista Ultimate I downloaded the new Windows Mobile Device Center, but it will not allow me to sync with my HP Ipaq which is running Windows Mobile 5.0. I can view my PDA files but not sync up. I even uninstalled and re-installed making sure my PDA was connected. I get an error message "Active Sync encountered a problem on the desktop". Support code was...

I have just installed Vista and my Epson Perfection 1660 scanner won't work. Epson tells me it is "not supported" and drivers are not available for this set up. They suggested I try to get them from their Canadian site (I am in the US). I also tried the UK site, at someone else's suggestion, and that didn't help either. Seems to me this might be a bit like Ford Motor Company ceasing...

My "Sonic Solutions DLA" is malfunctioning again, as Windows Vista tried to reinstall an update right under my nose, an update which, when I previously uninstalled it, allowed "Sonic Solutions DLA" to work correctly. Since the time I initially uninstalled the update, I have forgotten what update it was. Can anyone help me? Brandon Taylor

I installed Vista on my Macbook Pro. My Mat****a DVD worked for a week and then stopped working. I tryed rolling back the driver, uninstalling the drivers everything. And nothing. Still not recognized. Is there a driver out there for Vista Home Premium that will cure this problem. Or is there anything I can do. Windows still recognizes that I have the Hardware there. Funny thing is...

I have an ASUS p5rd1-vm mainboard with a nvidia geforce 6200 graphics card. I upgraded to Windows Vista from a XP SP2 operating system. I now get an error showing I do not have enough resources for my pci to pci bridge that runs my graphics card. I am in VGA Save mode and cannot get my PCI Express graphics card to work. If I disable it and use the onboard graphics card everything is OK,...

Hi, For some reason Windows Vista is no longer recognizing my DVD player. It is saying I need a new driver but Sony is not being helpful and I can't seem to use the windows driver update to auto update. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I need to get a new laptop, but have never liked some of Windows XP's "features" - mainly that it often thinks it knows what I want better than I do! I'd like to find out about some things in Vista before going with that though, in case it's even worse than XP (which it may be if some of what I've heard is true). I currently use Windows 2000, as

Hi I just installed my ATI Radeon X1950PRO graphic card. The drivers and Catalyst Control Panel 7.2 installed ok after several tries. However - I CAN'T get the Windows Experience Index to update without the screen going black and Graphic card fan going nuts. I have to do a hard Reboot. I suspect it to be the 3D settings... Questions about my cards 3D options:

This appears to be correct. I have an Asus k8v-x and with cpu-z processor is running at 2000 when it should be 1000 unless pushed. I have enabled cool and quiet in the bios and set power management in control centre to minimal. Rebooted and still running at 2000 per cpu-z (a great utility) but temp is at least down to 31 this time (per Asusprobe). Temp usually runs at about 32 c in...

Hi all! I did check the newsgroup for this problem and did not find any previous thread for it. After installing and reinstalling WMDC several times, now it "disappeared" completely from my Laptop (Windows Vista Ultimate.) In my last install attempt, it looked for HP RNDIS driver, installed it but, then, it "disappeared." I checked CONTROL PANEL, INSTALL-UNINSTALL menu and it is not there; I...

Seems as though MS havent made any drivers for this lovely little bit of kit. Works fine on XP (and there are still XP drivers, Intellipoint 5.5 being the latest, which of course refuse to install in Vista) but cant map the middle mouse button to double click without the software. Unhelpfully Vista's problem solver (great idea, i like it) directs me to download Intellipoint 6.1 which......

I'm looking for a driver that is usable for the Snapscan, as for as I know Agfa give no support. With XP it worked splendid.. is there somebody that can help me ? Henk Kortekaas

Hi! My Logitech Wingman force joystick is not supported by vista because it's not a true HID device (it lists under "other hardware" though but with yellow exclamation mark). I am missing the "add generic game controller" feature that exists under XP so I could possibly use it as generic 2 way, 4 button controller. Any idea if that can be done? Martin

Hello all! I have 1.5g of memory installed at the moment on my Asus K8V SE Deluxe running Vista 32bit edition. My lowest number on my Windows Experience is 3.1 for memory. Would I benefit much more from moving to 2g or even 3g of memory? Thanks in advance. HC

Recenlty installed Vista Business. Have a RAID-1 configuration. Ever since Vista installed, I keep getting random alerts on startup about one of my HDD's imminent failure and to do a system backup 'now'. I have been ignoring this, (but I have done a backup!). Anyway, I am not sure which HDD is supposed to be failing. I think it is rubbish because they are only about 6 months old. Any ideas?...
