Lost MyBook Drive Letter by Wandering[_2_]
When I first connected the Western Digital MyBook 250 USB2.0 drive to my brand new Vista Home Basic machine from Acer it ran beautifully. Having heard all the horror stories about Vista, is was quite delighted to find it better than I thought. I just left Win98SE behind when my MB flamed out. Then after a backup image was created and restored after the latest RealPlayer wouldn't install, I found...

Keyboard Skipping Around by Wandering Flame
Sorry if this has been addressed before. Basically many times when I'm typing on my 1515 inspiron laptop, the cursor just jumps to a random location on the paper, and sometimes even maximizes minimized windows I have minimized, so it seems it just makes wherever mouse is on the screen, click, so that where the mouse was the cursor is at now, and if the mouse was on a minimized window then...

Vista has to find drivers for sound card and ethernet every boot by wampum
Every time I shut down my computer and then start it up again Vista has to open this "Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program" to find my drivers for my sound card and my wireless ethernet card. This is the most annoying thing considering it takes like 5 minutes to find the drivers on my computer. HELP ME SOMEONE!

Can't select a new specific USB printer driver when a compatible driver is already installed by Walter J. Wierwille
Windows XP would ask if I wanted to have it install automatically and would let me select "Have disk..." during installation, but Vista just installs automatically. Is there option somewhere I can set so that I can make Vista ask me if I want to use a specific driver before it automatically installs drivers for a device? Thanks.

DVD Burner Drive problem by Walter Goldschmidt[_3_]
My external DVD burning drive was working fine the other day as a matter of fact I had burned 3 DVD's but when I tried to burn the 4th one my computer still detected the burning drive but my burning program (ImgBurn) didn't detect the DVD media. Does this sound like maybe the laser went bad in the drive. -- Walt

multi port USB hubs question by Walter Goldschmidt[_3_]
I recently received a multi port USB hub and plugged it into my laptop. It seemed like a good idea as I only had 2 USB ports on my computer. This gave me 4 where before I only had 1 which made a total of 5. I plugged a new external DVD burning drive into one of the multi ports ports. The drive used 2 ports, 1 for drive and 1 for drives power. I also plugged 2 external hard drives into the...

1 TB External Hard Drive Problem by Walter Goldschmidt[_3_]
I got a large external hard drive today and it's instructions say to go to disk management and do format and partition. I messed up and deleted the drives volume. Now it is not listed in disk management. I looked everywhere to get it back and can't figure it out. How do I make Vista recognize this drive again so I can partition and format it? -- Walt

external hard drive by Walter Goldschmidt[_3_]
I have several external hard drives and to remove them from usb port your suppose to double click remove hardware icon in task bar near clock. I have ruined 2 of them by accidentally unplugging them. If the computer is turned off is it a different story. Can you go ahead and unplug it without clicking remove hardware icon without harming device? Walt

HP Pavillion a1632x by walter deodiaus
I have a HP Pavillion a1632x which came with XP, but was advertised to be upgradeable to Vista. Later on, this option was not supported. This falls on false advertising! Doesn't HP have trial drivers? I called HP, but they don't seem to support Vista for this machine. Last week, I was infected by a virus and was unable to recover my XP OS. I received a copy of Vista at a trade show, and...
