Vista Playing Dumb, Can't find a Driver for anything! by
ke3pup
Hi
i recently posted my problem in a thread called "USB Flash drives not
recognized" here which related to my USB flash drive not being recognized and
i had to look for drivers manually!
Today i tried to make a new partition (Using Acronis Disk Director), and
during the process Vista prompted for Driver for "Generic Storage" and then
for "Unidentified Device"? Yes Vista can't find a Driver...

Vista shows a A: drive that isn't installed. by
Rustin
I put together a PC with no floppy (A:) but Vista seems to believe that I
have one installed. I have disabled it in the BIOS but it still keeps
showing a A: drive. Any one run into this before?

Dual Monitor Issue by
Hutch
I am running dual monitors, and having a problem w/ the arrangment of the
monitors. In Display Settings, I arrange Monitor 1 above Monitor 2. The
settings take effect w/o any problems. However, if I lock the computer and
then unlock it the settings go back to the default arrangements of the
monitors being side-by-side.
So is there a way to keep it from doing this or is there a way to...

Line of dead pixels appeared but only in Windows by
Tatham Oddie
I have a vertical column of dead pixels (locked yellow) that has suddenly
appeared on my laptop LCD.
It is not a problem with the LCD itself or the video card because they are
not visible during the BIOS stage of the boot, or the Windows boot menu.
I have checked the Windows Update history and there were no autmatic updates
applied over the night that this occurred.
I have uninstalled the...

ps2 keyboard won't work by
Mary
Didn't you get a keyboard with the new computer? KB's need to be directly
connected to the computer. PS2 is old technology now as are switches and
computers do not recognize it. Buy a usb keyboard--any of the new ones will
do. You can't use a switch. I like my MS KB model 4000--usb, wired, no
batteries and cheap--one of the stores had it on special in Sunday's paper
for $30. BTW, I don't...

Vista takes 10 mins to boot up! by
Carlos
Hi:
Turn your computer off and unplug it from the wall outlet.
Open your PC case and unplug the offeding CD drive from the motherboard, as
well as its power connection.
Turn your computer on now and see if that solves it.

Where is my hard disk drive space?!?! by
Mary
The memory sounds fine. It's never the full amount because of various
factors--system setup, reserved for video etc. And you hard drive is probably
fine, too. You are most likely looking at the recovery partition & utility
partition. All the rest is the huge drive that's usable. Go to Administrative
Tools on the start menu, computer management, disk management and you will
see a graphic of...

HP dv6263cl Won't mirror desktop on external monitor by

My brand new HP Notebook seems to work fine and I'm able to view the
desktop fine on either the generic monitor or my new ViewSonic
VX1935wm external monitor. I can change to move parts of the desktop
to either monitor (though I haven't yet figured out how to move the
cursor from one to the other?), but when I select the option

USB Flash drive write protected by
mik99
I have a Apacer Handy Steno HT203 Flash drive.
When I try to write, delete or format the drive I get the error 'Disk drive
is write protected'. The drive itself doesn't have a switch to turn on/off
write protection.
Is it possible to set the write protection somewhere in Vista? I searched
through all configuration settings but I could not find anything.
Thanks

USB Scanner install (Cannot copy files) by
Mary
Scanners operate differently on vista. Many don't even have drivers yet &
don't work at all. Go to the visioneer site and see if they have one
available. My HP didn't work until HP came out with a driver 3 weeks ago. If
you have the driver file on your computer, right click on it and choose Run
as Administrator and see if that works. Go to Scanners and Cameras on the
start menu and see if...

Inaccurate System Time/Clock (running slow) by

I bought a new laptop from bestbuy the other day. Everything is running well
except for the system clock. System time will be running slow, 10 sec in
every 15 min. So the system clock kept on drifting off . The accumulation in
a day will be around 10-20 min. OMG!
I've tried to sync the time via internet, then shutdown Vista, and return to
BIOS. I've been keeping an eye on it for one and a...

Missing or corrupted device driver by

Hello
Just recently, something with the DVD/RW drive on my Toshiba Satellite A100
laptop has suddenly stopped working. The drive itself is fine it still loads
and acknowledges the discs but doesn't get any farther than that. So I opened
open device manager and sure enough the drive was flagged with an error
message. I opened it up and got this:

Memory Dump by
Extruder Johnny
Ever since I installed Vista on a new computer I built, it keeps crashing
giving me the BSOD and a memory dump. It will happen anytime, online or off
while doing anything. Very unstable and annoying and am considering going
back to XP! Any suggestions ?
