I'm having a strange issue where games and other apps will go full screen without any problems but when I exit the app, Vista does not return to the desktop. I'm left with 2 blank black screens and a pointer. Running dual Samsung monitors on GeForce7600GT with all driver updates applied. Has anyone else run into this?

Is there such a thing out there? *points to topic* I seem to have to beable to have the driver to disable the touchpad since the windows one won't disable on the laptop.. its a sony VGNFZ180E model if you need that info.. -- Doomz

I have been experiencing problems with the Media Center Remote and IR Receiver in Vista Home Premium Edition. I have tried various Power Setting configurations and no matter what it seems that the IR Receiver is way too sensative in Vista Home Premium Edition... (It worked just fine for me before in XP MCE 2005 Update 2!) I have the actual Microsoft Remote and IR Receiver as well as the...

(i copied this post i made on forums.microsoft.com, sorry for the unneeded verbiage) hi all. i am running the latest vista, built 5728 RC1, i believe, on my asus a8r32 mvp-deluxe motherboard. i am a fully supporting, registered vista user with a valid product key.

My Toshiba Satellite Pro P105-S9722 nVidia GeForce Go760 video card does NOT appear to be supported by VISTA. I bought the laptop late last year (Nov.) and it indicated it would support VISTA on the label and a free upgrade would be possible if I bought it then. I purchased Windows Vista Home Professional version and upgraded the Laptop from Scratch from Windows XP Professional. It has not...

My computer is not recognizing my digital vider camcorder when i plug it in through a USB port. i am running the current version of Vista, but its not even identifying it as new hardware.

My Vista does not have the advanced tab in device manager/com ports. I need to know how to manually reassign com port numbers in Vista. If the only answer is to uninstall devices and reinstall, that's not a fix at all. Thank you for your time and help.

I have an Inspiron 1525 with Vista Ultimate and a Dell bluetooth BT 355 travel mouse with good batteries but when I have put it into hibernation 9 times out of ten it loses connection and sometimes cannot even see the mouse at all anymore when I try to reconnect it! http://en.community.dell.com/emoticons/emotion-9.gif] The only way to resolve this I have determined is to Hardboot it and then it...

For months the DVD burner in my system was working fine, but in the last few days it stopped working. Vista detects it and loaded the device drivers, but it does not initialize the hardware properly. (I always get error "code 37".) Note that the system does detect that the DVD drive is there, and the driver does get the model number from the drive. Just to make sure there wasn't an...

I am having spuratic problems with device drivers loading and hardware initializing properly under Vista. 1 About 1 out of ever 4 times I boot the system, Vista does not detect the audio hardware on my motherboard and load the device drivers for it. If I reboot the system, it loads up and works fine though. 2 For months the DVD burner in my system was working fine, but in the last...

I'm trying to install beta drivers from the nVidia web site for the GForce Go 6800 Ultra and the installation stops and says something to the effect that this is not Windows Vista and therefore cannot install the drivers. I am running Vista Home Premium...what gives?

I have received a message from Windows that NVIDIA is the cause of my problem. Have received other messages of the same kind telling me a solutuion has been found or that they are still working on it. I have more than 1 problem. ( I have Windows Vista ) The message does not say which one it is addressing. Before I go do what it says must be done, which is not a slam dunk, I would like...

This is a Vista problem. When I open my CD drive or my DVD drive and insert a new disc, like a game, Windows doesn't recognize that I've done so. The autorun doesn't run. In my computer, it still shows the title of the last disc that was in there. And when I doubleclick the drive I get an error. The only way to run anything is to "explore" the disc and open the program. It's only been this...

Good Evening all. Due to Intel not supporting this graphics controller anymore, I am not able to upgrade so I can get the Vista dcd maker to work. Does anyone have any suggestions to bypass this without spending money??? Thank you. -- Doug

Hi, I have Flight Simulator X ( Demo ) installed on RC2 5744. I do not have a joystick or game controller. Is there one that will work with my setup and if so what is it. I have looked through the Vista games, hardware and general newsgroups but don't see anything about this. Doug

Good Evening all. I just clicked on Start, All programs, Windows DVD Maker for Vista. It errors out saying that my Video dows not meet minimum requirements. I clicked on learn more and it tells me thaI need DirectX 9. When I checked my system, it tells me that I have DirectX 10. So what is the problem? What can I do to fix this problem other than buying a new video card? Thanks -- Doug

I'm getting an hp laptop with a 5-in-1 digital media card reader. Is there any cards that I can put is there that will do ready boost? Would it be practical to just put in a memory card when I first get the laptop, make it completely dedicated to ready boost, and leave it there forever? What memory cards work with ready boost and how would I find the speed? Thanks.

Can you use ready boost with SD cards and other memory cards, or is it only usb devices? I know it's not as good as RAM, but how does it compare? I am getting a laptop with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, would ready boost increase my speed at all? What size memory stick would I need if it is dedicated to ready boost? Thanks.

My DVD writer & CD writer are both locked in write mode, they will write but will not read. CD's show as blank disks. Can anyone help? I am runnning Vista home premium.
