How do I keep this message from displaying everytime I plug in a USB flash drive? "Do you want to scan and fix *name of thumb drive*" My 2 options are "Scan and Fix" or "Continue without scanning." I have tried the scan and fix but it shows up the nexttime I plug in the drive.

Vista Home Premium recently, my PC has begun freezing, forcing reboot. A few errors appear in Event Log unfailingly. One of these is Event Error 6 - IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 0, function 0. I have done some research and found places suggesting I check the noted PCI slot. Problem - I have no idea what 'PCI slot 0' is. How do I find it and how do I...

While looking for drivers for my Radeon 7000 I found a package from ATI with more than 70MB. This is a little bit -ehm- fantastic? Crazy? Is there somewhere just a small driver with 600kB? I think I do not need more!? JMS

Not sure if these are good yet. Downloading German Language pack so I can read the page. http://www.computerbase.de/

The drivers for the firewire port and the game port on my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS are apparently not available. On Creative's website, the most recent release for these drivers was on 1/12/07. These do not work. Does anyone have working x64 drivers for these two devices?

I bought a 4.0 GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro w/ U3. It worked fine under XP. My Memorex 1.0 GB flash drive works fine under XP and Vista. Vista doesn't recognize U3 technology...no problem. When I configured ReadyBoost to use the Cruzer, everything appeared normal. Shortly thereafter I went to look at the files on the Cruzer, only to discover that the drive had been formatted/files deleted. The...

I've been testing Vista since Beta 2 now and everything has installed fine on my Toshiba Tecra S1 notebook except one thing that always fails - the wifi card. Vista sees it fine during setup, and after setup as well, and even has native drivers but it cannot seem to install them properly and gives a time out error. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I'm just surprised that my Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick seems not to work in Vista x64. I plug the USB and nothing happens, it doesn't detect it. Is any way to have it to work? In Win98 and Win XP I had no problem with it. I didn't even need a driver, was automatically detected. Now, it's like plugging a dead pile of junk.
