I am on my 2nd DVD burner that Vista says it can't recognize because it doesn't have the drivers and this one was billed as being Vista compliant. It is a Sony DRU-190A. Windows sees the device but says it isn't functioning properly because the drivers aren't loaded properly. When I try to update the drivers it tells me the most updated drivers are installed. I've tried to find updated...

I have no hardware connected to my laptop (no printers, flash drives, iPods, etc.), but the computer keeps making the "safely remove hardware" beep every few minutes. The icon to do this quickly appears on the bottom taskbar for a second. I was able to catch it and open it, but it shows no hardware. How can I stop the comoputer from thinking something is attached?

I recently purchased a Gateway Desktop. When the machine goes into sleep mode, the sound goes away after it starts up again. (No Audio Device Installed.) WHen I reboot, it is fine. A similar occurence happens when I cold boot the machine many hours after a complete shutdown. I have updated the drivers to the latest available from Intel. But, nothing solves the problem.

Has anyone had any luck using a Memory Stick ( 2GB and up ) in Vista ReadyBoost ?

A couple days ago, my computer refused to load Windows. I tried the "repair mode" at start up and even tried the boot disk. I ended up driving 40 miles to take it to a shop and when they hooked it up Windows was fine. I thought all I lost was some time and gas but as it happens, my system no longer recognizes my external drive. I've unplugged it, changed ports, done everything and it's...
