Synthoms: I cannot use any device connected to any of my 4 USB ports, because Windows tells me that it is been impossible to find the appropriate device driver for my hardware (like a pendrive, a card reader, an...

I have ASUS P5P800 Motherboard with Integrated SoundMax Audio. Windows Vista Ultimate automatically detected and installed drivers for this. When I initially boot up the system the sound works for all applications, however, if I don't use my computer for a while, then go back on, I have no sound unless I manually go into the sound control panel and do some change to configuration, then sound...

My HP 6210 all-in-one will not print manual two-sided in Vista. Instead it prints all the pages without the usual pause to reinsert the pages. Checked with HP website and verified most recent software. ANY ideas?

I have a new Hyundai 32" LCD HDTV with analog and HDMI inputs. I have tried to get a driver from Hyundai without success. Using the analog connection, the monitor should be capable of 1366 x 768 resolution. However, I cannot set the resolution any higher than 1024 x 768 in Vista. Does anyone know a solution? I tried downloading a Viewsonic driver but I couldn't make that work. HDMI is...

I've been trying to import video from my Samsung dv camcorder to Windows Vista's Movie Maker. At first Vista wouldn't recognize the camcorder so I downloaded the Driver made specifically for Vista. After installing the driver movie maker still tells me that it cannot find a compatible digital video device. So I follow the help instructions and hit up the device manager. The DM tells me...

I recently noticed that whenever my laptop is an idle mode for a prolonged time, DfrgNtfs.exe comes in. I understand that this Vista’s native Disk Defragmenter. Since I am using Raxco’s Disk Defragmentation Utility, which seems to do a far better (and faster) job then the native Defragmenter, I would like to turn DfrgNtfs.exe off so that it no longer runs when the system is idle. The...

Hey all! This is my first and I don't think my last message to the board. I'v used and tested all Windows Vista beta versions I'v gotten my hands on, and now that the final version came out I'v postponed the final testing. Now that the company I work for could buy computers with Windows Vista I'v ran myself in to a situation that I just need to check if this OS is any good. Sadly to say - I...

Hi, I was told by Dell sales that Vista Business does not support current fingerprint reader. Does anyone use fingerprint reader (any brands on any systems) with Vista? Thanks in advance.

I have a MSI Neo2 Platinum (nVidia nforce 3 ultra chipset). One of the last AMD 939 AGP boards made. I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. With Vista 32 and Vista 64, the ATI drivers, and even Microsoft's drivers, worked just fine - when I had an AMD 64 3000+ CPU in it. I just put in a shiny new AMD Opteron 180, and all the sudden the drivers are failing, both in 64 and 32. Installing the...

Dell laptop, Vista Home Premium. I'm the only user since day one, and a generally delighted user I might add, with far fewer issues than when I went from 3.1 to 95, or 98 to 2000, as examples. But there are frustrations, and the matter of "permission" is high on the list. I want to perform some ordinary task such as shift some folders around, and often get a "You must have permission..."...

VMware Server on Longhorn - how to? I installed VMware server version 1.0.3 on Longhorn Beta 3 but I can not start, bacause VMAuthdService (VMware Authorization Service) is depents on VMware vmx86. Someone said that vmx86 is a device driver. And Vista and co. are not lucky if the user tries to install the unsigned driver. Is it any workaround to install unsigned driver on Longhorn?

Have been seeing a lot of problems on this newsgroup with Vista not recognizing DVD drives. For what its worth, here is how I fixed mine. I had both an LG DVD writer and and a LG removable USB flash drive. On Beta 2 and RC-1, everything was fine. However, after upgrading RC-1 to Home Premium and installing updates, only the USB flash drive showed as installed. The DVD writer was missing...
