Vista and my Printer by KiraNirvanna
Okay, I have a slightly older HP all-in-one Printer from about two years ago. It's a good printer. Recently though our computer of roughly the same age decided it was done running. We replaced her with a Vista Laptop. Our printer though -technically- still works. There's just one problem. The disc won't install on the laptop. The error that comes up says that it can't run as administrator...

Different Vista OS and Computer System by titus12
Is it true that your computer's hardware have to high end enough to use a certain Vista OS: Vista Basic, Vista Premium...? I read that some systems can only run with Vista Basic, and if you put Premium on that system, it will not run right. Thank you, David

Wireless Mouse Menu Problems by Raven3932
Hi, I have a relatively new wireless mouse but all of a sudden when I right click, no menu box appears, could anybody tell me if this a fault with my mouse or have I inadvertently removed / changed settings somehow. The wheel is working and the left hand button is working. I have also plugged in a wired mouse and this works perfectly. Would really appreciate any help as I'm baffled, thanks.

I have installed 4gb of RAM into my computer and vista doesnt recognize all of it. I know 32-bit vista only senses about 3.3 Gbs max. But my computer is only sensing 2.8 GBs. Then i checked my viedo card and Vista is sharing over 1Gb with my video card. Is there any way to fix this problem?

USB Tablet only works on part of the screen by pizzabot
I have a wireless/USB tablet that works great when used wireless with the provided receiver but when I plug it in directly using the USB cable, the mouse is only able to move on a small fraction of the screen in the upper left hand corner. I was wondering if any body else has had this same issue or if anyone had any suggestions. -- pizzabot

virtualization of drivers or hardware control utilities by RalfG[_3_]

16:9 ratio on monitor by hamrdown
I have a flat screen monitor with a 16:9 ration. Up until a couple a days ago, everything was working fine with our screen saver. Then it all changed. The screen saver runs in a traditional TV format and I have tried everything I can to change it back. I have gone through the setup, the Windows Media Center, etc and nothing seems to work.
