I have recently installed Vista 64 bit. I am wondering how much RAM I should have without having RAM for the sake of it? The PC is not used for extreme gaming, video editing etc, just the ususal that most home PCs do. My PC.s specs a Intel BLKDP965ATCK (800MHz limit) MoBo Intel Pentium D processor

Hairstyling products Styling products aside from shampoo and conditioner are many and varied. Leave-in conditioner, conditioning treatments, mousse, gels, lotions, waxes, creams, serums, oils, and sprays are used to change the texture or shape of the hair, or to hold it in place in a certain style. Applied properly, most styling products will not damage the hair apart from drying it out; most...

I installed Vista RC1 on a HP Compaq NX7000 laptop with a 1.8GHz Intel Centrino Processor, 512MB of RAM, and 64MB Radeon 9200 video. The chipset is Intel 852/855. When it got to the part during setup where it asks to create an icon, user name, and password the screen suddenly went crazy like it was out of sync. I did manage to get through the rest of setup even though the display had...

I don't know why this happens, I've exhausted Microsoft and ATi trying to find a reason. When I use 4 GB of RAM in Vista 64-bit and install ANY Catalyst driver for my X1950GT PCIe video card, I get random grey bars on my screen using Aero (basic is just fine though), and when I use any kind of 3D application it works for a few seconds and then freezes entirely. If I remove one stick of RAM...

I have a Dell 1901FP Flat Panel Color Monitor. I just bought a new HP computer using Vista Premium 64bit but am debating whether or not to keep it now that I see so many issues with 64bit Vista. I went to the Driver Download page at Dell for my monitor and it has a driver listed for download for XP but none for Vista. I guess that means they have no driver for Vista so it won't work, right? So...

I have a dell insp. 531s with a 250W power supply. Dell support says upgrading to anything over (like 400W) would potentially fry my components, is this true? Is it safe to upgrade to a higher wattage? -- Vista_32bit

There are new drivers at ATI - AMD especially for Vista: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html It will stabilise the videocard problems for most of you I guess! I installed the latest ATI driver (Catalyst 7.1), I have a ATI Radeon Mobilty card and it fixed also some other minor video problems (first uninstall all old ATI drivers of course)

Hi Guys I am having some problem with my laptop. Currently i installed my lappy from vista home basic x32 to home premium x64. However because of the bit difference, i have to search for the drivers. All seems fine except for this "mass storage controller" which i can't find the drivers online and i have no idea what it is. Can some kind soul please help?

Ok, I'm at a loss. I tried the SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 from an admin command prompt and opened device manager from there, did not work. I had to re-install my motherboard, and since my USB ports aren't at teh same place they were, my mouse is considered installed on one of those missing ports. Now, when I plug my mouse in on any other port, when I get to installing the driver,...

I just replaced my 80GB drive in my laptop with a 160GB Drive. Most of the software I am re-installing from the installation media. However I still want access to my files and other s/w on my old drive. As such I purchased an IDE HDD USB enlcosure for my old drive. However when I plug it in the drive just makes a regular light buzzing sound. Any Ideas on what I can do to be able to...

I think I have solved this. On my motherboard (Nforce 4 Ultra), in my BIOS, under the Power-ACPI settings, the APIC support setting was set to disabled. Upon setting it to enabled, and unfortunately doing a re-install (didn't work until I did that, but your mileage may vary) everything worked perfectly. Apparently Vista requires APIC to be enabled. Why it was set to disabled, is beyond...

hi all! I have a problem with my ram memory. I have vista ultimate sp1 with 4gb ram.

Can anyone give me some good, affordable TV Tuners that work well w/ Vista Media Center? I would like to get one w/ a PCI interface, but I also do have a PCI Express x1 slot available. I guess USB wouldn't be out of the question either as long as the picture quality is decent. Thanks in advance, Todd
