I recently purchased a new computer w/ Vista Small Business. It has a Mitsumi 3.5" floppy drive (IDE) and Vista wont recognize it at startup. I can force to see it if I plug in a Teac USB 3.5" drive and restart Vista. In system it shows the controller and Microsoft driver: 6.0.6000.16386 dated 6/21/06 for this Mitsumi floppy drive. If I unplug my USB floppy and reboot it looses the Mitsumi...

I've seen other posts about missing CD rom drives, but I think my problem may be different? I have Windows Vista basic, on an eMachines PC. I have a DVD rom drive AND a CD rom drove, both recording drives. Often when I go to access the CDrom drive, it is missing in My Computer. It is ALSO missing completely in Device manager. It doesn't seem to matter if there is a CD in the drive at the time...

Hello People, I have a New Toshiba Notebook A135 with Vista Premium (English, USA), installed. It came with a 120GB HDD.

Anybody have idea what gives??? TNX a lot!

Hi I just bought a new laptop with the Vista Business Edition and stupidly followed MS's marketing and uprgaded to Ultimate, but now the sound doest work (audio out or mike in).

Please tell me; what is the true minimum RAM requirement for Vista Ultimate and installed programs to really run properly without the need for Readyboost or crutches? I see Notebooks being advertised with Vista and a mere 512MB of RAM and XP runs like a dog with one leg on that amount of RAM! Bernie

My dvd drive has stopped working when I go to device manager is says CODE 10 this device cannot start.

There are so many posts in this group along the lines of "Why is my device not supported?" I'd like to suggest how we can all deal with the problem. Let's get a few things straight first: 1) It isn't Microsoft's job to write device drivers for all the hardware out there 2) It IS Microsoft's job to enable the device owners to play their part (they have done this) 3) The device manufacturers...

Hi, I currently have a sony vaio laptop with a Nvidia Geforce Go 6200 graphics card. When I upgraded to Vista I began having problems playing games, many told me that I only have 32 mb of dedicated memory to my graphics card. However, initially in XP the video card had 128 mb of dedicated memory. Is this simply a driver issue? If so what driver might I be able to installed that would fix...

I figured this is the Hardware section, so lets hear about your setup! What are you running Vista x64 on? Also, how would you rate your system performance with Vista, and if you could change anything, what would it be? How much did you end up spending? I suppose I'll start: CPU: Intel Core2Duo "Allendale" E4300 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 RAM: 2x1GB Geil DDR800

I have a Creative Labs Web Cam Live which doesn't work with Vista. As I bought it AFTER Vista had been released, I didn't bother to check to see if it would work with Vista but, now that I've installed Vista, I find it doesn't and Creative Labs has no plans on issuing a driver for it. So, I still want a web cam but want to give someone else my business BUT as I've always had Creative Labs...

I just did a new install of Windows Ultimate on an Acer Travelmate C111 with built in Bluetooth. The Bluetooth worked fine before with XP Tablet but the hardware does not even show up under Vista. Everything else is great, I do have the AC97 soft modem, which shows up under other devices as a PCI modem, but that is the only unknown HW it finds. So my question is what now? I have the...
