I installed Vista RC1 on a HP Compaq NX7000 laptop with a 1.8GHz Intel Centrino Processor, 512MB of RAM, and 64MB Radeon 9200 video. The chipset is Intel 852/855. When it got to the part during setup where it asks to create an icon, user name, and password the screen suddenly went crazy like it was out of sync. I did manage to get through the rest of setup even though the display had...

I know it is unheard of nowadays that there are people out there who still connect through 56k dial up Modems, but unfrotuantely I am in an area where I am unable to get broadband. I was wondering if anyone... Microsoft or the public... knew of a dial up Modem that is actually supported by Vista 32bit? I have an AOpenFM56-PX internal modem installed and everytime I receive the Windows update...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to get ideas on the Dell forums about this issue, and figured I'd try here to see if this is an issue that reaches beyond Dell computers. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, Vista Home Premium, Duo Core 2 2Ghz, 2GB Ram, 7200 RPM HD. Now, you would think that with all of this that playing a simple MP3 file would be a piece of cake, but alas it is not. Whenever I...

Scenario: Didn't know if Vista would work well. So simply added another drive to my WinXp machine. Installed Vista on this drive so I could dual boot either to WinXP or Vista. Works fine, can boot to XP or Vista. Now, I have decided that Vista supports the applications I like and has the drivers for the hardware I have on the machine.

After trying to install the 376f XP software for my Umax Astra 6400 flatbed scanner Windows Vista won't restart. I had to reload Vista as no restore point was made to undo in Safe-Mode. Nothing I tryed worked.

I have a Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC, 2GB running Vista RC1. I am trying to setup a partnership with a new i-Mate K-Jam device. When connecting the device via USB on either of my 3-USB ports, Vista installs the drivers and recognises the device and presents it to the Mobility Center and Sync Center. Nothing happens when I select "Set up" from the Sync Center menu, or via Right-Click on the...

This problem has only occurred using Windows Movie Maker version 6.6. I have posted a query on that group, also. The bottom of the screen normally contains the " go" or " do it " button when "publishing" a movie. On my Samsung wide screen monitor that button is BELOW the bottom of my screen. I've tried different screen resolutions. Can anyone help me figure out how to make the screen...

I have a i-Mate Windows Mobile 5.0 K-Jam device that is recognised from Vista RC1 and is correctly presented in the Sync Center and Mobile Device Center. When I select "Set up" from the Sync Center menu or via a Right-Click on the device nothing happens and the partnership setup fails to be completed. I've updated with latest updates, tried different cables and different USB ports with the...

Hi, all: I'm using a BenQ S73G laptop so everythiing is built-in. While I was using XP home, everything was fine. Now that I installed Vista Business, one device in device manager can not be recognized, and I have absolutely no idea what that device is. I've tried updating using both windows update and my own driver CD from the vendor but still can't solve the problem. The following are...

I am puzzled by the following behavior: a sata HDD (160 GB) has 4 partitions; they are all well seen under XP but when I mount the hdd with a sata/USB converter (which works for sure, with other drives) and connect to my laptop using Vista HP it shows the 3rd partition as not formatted space. Just by accident I found out that under XP all my data are in place and not lost as I feared, so I...

The LCD monitor LG L1900 series has no buttons to tune it up, so one should use their software (Forte 2.80, vista compatible). Since in my case it is not compatible, in fact it crashes every time upon restart after installation, I know "microsoft" is investigating the problem (reported by sending dumps). However, is anyone of you aware of a workaround for this issue? I don't care about LG...

Hi, on my new laptop with Premium license I've got the Canc key on the upper right corner, which is different than what I was used to on a Toshiba Satellite, where it was more conveniently located just replacing the right CTRL key. Now, I d really like to know how to reassign the right ctrl key to work as a Canc key. Any hint or way, no matter how tough, I will put into practice. Thx a lot...

On my Acer laptop (which I recently bought together with Vista Premium) when I go out of standby the fan doesn't stop running at max speed. It doesn't make sense that, being power settings at min level, during normal operation it just switch on once in a while (and not even at max speed, judging from its noise); and as soon as it wakes up it's impossible that it needs cooling down anything...

I have an Averatec laptop and since I installed Windows Vista my wireless device stopped to work. It’s a built in 802.11 b/g wireless card which worked well on Windows XP. Averatec is refusing to support me because Windows Vista isn’t the original operating system and so it’s not supported. Despite that, there is a label glue in the laptop saying "Windows Vista capable". I can’t be...
