I've downloaded the creative 64-bit version of drivers and installed them. If i go into device manager it shows the sound card working correctly with drivers, but when I go into sounds from the control panel it notes...

I put in a 3.5" 1.44M floppy and view it's directory (usually via a command line, but also with explorer). Now, eject the disk and put in another one. I get the same directory. This despite considerable activity by the drive (light goes on, head moves around). How do I get this thing to read the actual drive rather than what appears to be it's cached version?

It appears that I've lost both of my DVDRW after installing VISTA 64-bit. I was using them up until a few days ago. It just shows as a "Removable Disk". This is the error message I get when I go to the DVDRW burner. Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft...

I installed a floppy drive on my computer running Vista. My bios is showing the drive but when I boot up into Vista, it's not showing the drive. I've installed it, removed it and did all of the tinkering I can think of including looking for drivers but it won't show the drive. Any suggestions?

I have always used a separate numeric keypad on my notebook. I just bought a sony VGN-C240E and my old IBM keypad doesn't function properly. The NumLock key locks both keyboards, not just the USB attached one. Previously, NumLock only locked the separate keypad allowing normal use of the computer's main keyboard. SONY told me it was a Vista issue. Can anyone help? -- RFP

Does anyone have suggestions about 100% compatile all-in-one type DVD burners? (Burns all CD and DVD types). The hardware compatibility list isn't much help on this. And looking up drivers for one product at a time is daunting.

Or does another driver exist for this aged hardware that works well under...

Other then taking the drives out of my computer and plugging it into my laptop through USB, is there a way I could format my XP drives (1 of which is set to active (got damn it!!) and vista doesn't even want to touch it because of that).

Short of uninstalling and reinstalling, is there any way to go back to the old set-up routines to change the settings? I just had a cable upgrade and want to make sure it sees the new channels. It now assumes the set-up was correct and skips to the end.

I have just installed Vista Home Premium and my second internal HD won't work. The HD worked in the previous installation of XP Pro and from a Live CD version of Linux. According to the Computer Manager, the drive needs to be formatted before it can be used. I dont want to format it becuase it has all my mp3s and photos on. Any suggestions
