Hi, I just bought a Lenovo 3000 series, Y500 laptop with Vista Home Basic preinstalled. It has Realtek HD audio and Dolby digital technology in-built. But the speakers emit very low sound with full volume. Headphone volume level is OK. Disabling the Realtek Dolby Digital output devices, and only keeping the Speakers as sound output device, increases the sound level to some extent.

I am running Vista preminum on a laptop. I use an external hard drive to store pictures and music. I would like to defrag this dirive but I can't figure out how to do that? I need your help.

I have been just using my monitors speakers and they have been working fine with windows ultimate until just barely. I was just using windows looking on the internet. I left and it had logged me off, like normal, but when I logged back in the sound no longer worked. I have turned off the computer, reset it, updated windows with everything that was available. I guess though the wierdest...

I am unable to do this b/c whenever I boot off the CD it goes to the screen where it says "Select a Language", but then it just hangs. I cannot use neither the mouse or the keyboard to select...

The nforce4 update available through Windows Update actually BREAKS activation. After installing the update, Vista becomes un-activated. Rolling back the driver seems to "fix" activation again. Nice going Microsoft. I guess WHQL is meaningless since you obviously don't test this stuff. How about getting rid of all this "activation" nonsense so we don't have to worry every time we update a...

I have an Apple MacBookPro that is partioned for both Mac OS and Windows Vista Ultimate, I use an Apple bluetooth mouse, when I boot my system in Vista partition the computer will not sync with my mouse, I have to remove it from bluetooth and re-instal every time, i'm sure this can't be right and that there must be a way of adding my mouse so it auto detects, but can't find how to do it....

There is a problem with the pt880 ultra and Gforce cards. The basic driver with vista kind of works...well it is stable but slow. The 97.46 driver also has problems. Every driver after that have masive video corruption and there are alot of us with the identical problem and different types of cards and mobo's. With or without the VIA 4 in 1 doesn't affect the issue. e6600 2gb ram 667 7800gs

Hi, did anybody have luck with the version 1.3 (latest) drivers provided by Microsoft for the Microsoft VX-3000 Webcam? As soon as I am activating the device (e.g. pushing the button) - the application (e.g. Live Messenger) hangs. Karlheinz

Hallo, somone could tell me what usb-irda adapter buy to work with Vista ultimate? I can't be able to find no one that support Vista Ultimate. Thanks in advance, Vittorio Dante Cotti.

When i try to install my pentax camera as a webcam using the CD rom that came with the camera, it automatically opens an installer based on the old windows MX kind of interface. Then a windows vista pop up comes up, asking for a file stream.sys. the thing is that it won't find it although it is actually there in the windows-system32-drivers folder. I don't understand why it won't find it...

I am using this forum as a last resort. I have installed Windows Vista (Home Premium) over a month ago and still can't set the monitor resolution to its native 1280x768 (75Hz). I have tried the following: 1. Installed the very latest display drivers from NVidia, even the beta ones. My graphics adapter is an Nvidia 8800GTS. I tried these versions: 100.65, 101.41, 158.18, 158.43. 2. Added...

My new eMachine came with VISTA, but some of my software, the printer, camera, etc. would not work with VISTA, so I installed XPSP2. NOW, I have no sound. I have looked for the driver that would allow the audio devices to work with XP, but have been unsuccessful. My audio driver, as well as the video capture device, are labeled "legacy". The eMachine site offers drivers for the devices...

Hi Is anyone else having problems with Mediaplayer recognising usb connect devices ? I connect my Iriver HD MP3 player to the PC a Dell E520 running Vista Home premium. The PC recognises it I can browse the device, copy stuff to and fro via explorer so all appears to be ok. However Mediaplayer does not recognise it has a connected device, its basically nothing more than an external mass...

Hi there, I just istalled Vista home premium on my Fujitsu N6010 which works just fine except my audio. Vista can't install or find driver for my SigmaTel STAC9766 - AC '97 Compliant Codec audio controller. First I upgraded from XP directly and I just had too much problems and bugs, so I decided to back up my files and format my HD and install Vista clean. Now everything else is fine except...

I'm having this exact same issue. I have the newest drivers from Nvidia, and I've tried the beta drviers too. Blank screen after boot up. Was there ever any kind of fix for this, or do I just have to hope Nvidia starts making drivers that are actually operational?
