Laptop noise by Saulo
Since I intalled Windows Vista Business 64-Bits in my Acer Aspire 5630-6091 I can hear a strange noise (I think from processor). The laptop config is an Intel Core-2-Duo with 1Gb RAM. With Windows XP I didn't have this problem. This is my second laptop with this problem and with the same behavior: only in normal use of Windows. The most stange is when I start Windows Vista in secure mode: the...

File corruption with Word 2003 related to USB drive problems? by Kristin
My roommate was using Word 2003 on my new computer with Vista. She had some Word files that got corrupted. The error message said something about the USB drive, as an explanation for why the files were corrupted. Apparently she was saving her document on both the hard drive of the computer, and her USB drive. But the files were corrupted on both the USB drive and the hard drive, and she...

Linksys PCI Adapter with SRX WMP54GX no driver available by LzB
Well here it is months later, and now here I am needing to do the same thing. So, I did a search and yep, that driver can be installed using Windows Update. Course Vista doesn't include a way to get on a network with no network installed. Worse yet, I have been searching for the driver for 30 minutes and this is the closest I have come to it, and therefore I will mark this post as helpful...

Adding a second HD by Johncon612
My new pc desktop has a place for a second HD. Can I insert the HD from my old pc without losing the os,Win XP, and the programs on it. My idea is to run one HD with Vista and the second with XP. I seem to recal that adding a loaded HD to a different pc could be a problem. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

How to Navigate Vista without a mouse by SkyKnites
Using your Windows Key, The Tab Key, The Arrow Keys, and The Enter Key (also known as return key), you should be able to go anywhere in your pc that you need to go. I was writing this down for a friend and thought with all the mouse problems, this might be useful info. Little experimenting with those keys should be enough for anyone to figure it out.

getting a company to listen by husky86
I realize I may be asking the impossible question, but here goes: When you have a relatively new OEM product (in this case an NVIDIA motherboard) and the computer manufacturer doesn't seem to care that you are missing Vista drivers, ultimately how do you ever get through to the company? Every time I put this desktop to sleep, when I wake it up there's no Internet connection. I must fully...
