Everytime I plug a usb flash drive into my computer, the LCD screen turns black completely for a second or two. I am not talking about the gray screen that you get everytime because of UAC. The thing I am talking about happens everytime I insert a usb flash drive or take it out. When you want to take out the usb flash drive, you have to look at the icon in the bar at the bottom right...

I just upgraded my Laptop to Windows Vista Home Premium, primarly for the Movie Making enhancements in the Vista Version. After installing Vista, and trying load the Movie Maker, I was informed that my video card does not support it.

I played with all the jumper settings(switching from slave to master and back) and switched the ribbon cable out and Vista will try to...

I have 2gb of system ram and am always showing 55%-60% being used by the system even when there are no other processes running - for example; when i first installed vista.

I just updated my Vista from Home Premium to Ultimate. I feel this was now a mistake, I no longer have any devices being seen under sound so my speakers don't work.

hi - I'm having the same problem with an HP nx7400 with Vista RC1 Build 5600. Attempting to use the XP drivers for the SoundMax card doesn't work with RC1, works with Beta 2 Though. I copied th C:\Setup\Audio folder off another 7400 running XP to a USB memory - manually located the driver and it worked fine in Beta 2. No such luck in RC1 though.
