Hi, I recently installed windows vista. I noticed that when I choose 'Remove safely' option for USB devices from task bar, the OS reports successful disconnection, but the USB device still keeps on charging (It seems to be receiving power). But in Windows XP, this was not so. Those LED's use to turn of once I do the above action. Is this a change in Windows Vista or there is some other...

Hi every one, I have been wondering something, I have a motherboard with 1600 MHz FSB support. My current cpu is a 1333 MHz one, and my rams are DDR-2 667, which means 1333 mhz. So my FSB:DRAM ratio is 1:1. P.SO.: I do not over clock my system. The questions I have are these: Since my CPU is 1333, if I install DDR-2 800 rams, my ratio will be 5:4 or something like that.

I have a Lite-On DVD burner that's about 2 years old. For a while now whenever I put any type of disc in it (CD, CD-R, DVD, DVD-R, etc.), Vista treats it as though it were blank. In the drive properties it shows that there is information on the disc, but when I try to access it, it comes up with "prepare this blank disc." I've done a firmware update that I got from the Lite-On website that was...

A couple of weeks ago I installed a game called tiberian sun and had no problems with anything. A couple days ago I tried instaliing it with a different serial number because the game's from 1999 and the serial was invalid for online. So eventually after installing it about 3 times I just installed the game and the expansion like before. Now before all of this happened (right before the...

The Rosewill PCMCIA to PCI card also appears to install without...
