I'm helping a neighbour with her HP AMD based tower (model ???.) Since last Tuesday April 6, 2010, the Vista Home Premium 32bit system will not play any Windows "audio" to the 5.1 speakers when using any Realtek HD drivers (either the updated ones or the original HP ones.) Only the Line-In seem to let the sound through to the speakers and Mic- In out over the Internet After several tests, when...

When you use Device Manager to check for a new ATI driver, in this case for an x1600 Pro, Windows Update reports the latest version is installed version 8.391.0.0 dated 6/26/2007. But according to ATI's Web site, the latest version is 8.9. Why doesn't ATI push the latest driver to Windows Update -- so it would be easy for everyone to make sure they have the latest driver -- and to easily...

I am thinking of going to 4GB ram and I wonder if it is worth it? The only reason I am thinking of doing it is to turn off virtual memory and eliminate swapping on the hard drive. Please let me know your experience if you have done this upgrade. Al

Got a good one for you here. I'm having massive problems getting my ATI X800 to work properly with RC1. Installed Vista (x32) today (clean install, seperate partition), all went smoothly, then installed the latest ATI drivers (the RC1 versions). First thing I tried was hibernate and sleep mode, as this has never worked for me in all the Vista builds I've tried. Usually it BSODs on resume....

Does anyone know of a DVD decoder that works with Windows Vista?

Hello, I have a 5-months old Acer Tarvelmate 8104WLMi that's always been running Windows XP flawlessly. But each time I try a new Vista release (Beta 1, Beta 2, Pre-RC1) the filesystem of the Vista NTFS partition gets corrupted after a few hours of use. Anybody knows of that kind of failure? Could it be driver-related? DETAILS

I had just got done fending off a virus on my computer (vista home premium, 32bit). Had to uninstall/reinstall QuickBooks because it wasn't working. I also went through and cleaned up everything I could from the computer, and turned off anything I thought was unneccessary. QB got through with the installation, but is not on my computer anywhere (I've checked everything I know how to check), and...

Hi there, I have an nVidia 6600GT with 256MB. I'm curious which drivers you are using with Pre-RC1 Build 5536. The default driver that Vista uses is useless for 3D gaming. (I can't play City of Villains.) The lastest nVidia beta drivers (ver 88.61) didn't work either. System would boot up normally (hearing all the usual sounds) but just a black screen. On their site nVidia says the...
