If I insert any disc into into my Asus 1612BL dvd drive it green lights chunters for a minute or two and then goes dead, right clicking on the drive to explore or open elicits the message (when it eventually responds) "insert a disc". So far I have tried rolling back to a previous update,...

Hello, I recently installed Vista and I found that since installing I have only been running at half of my total processing power because Vista won't use the second processor that is on my mother board.

I have recently bought a PC that came with Vista Ultimate. I am using a Siemens-Fujitsu LCD monitor (Scenic P19-2) and every time I receive a Windows update it causes the monitor to malfunction. After the update I get a split-screen effect, where the display information is squeezed into the top 70% of the screen. Below that I get a horizontal black bar and the content begins to repeat...

For example, if i have my ipod, i insert it...
