Hello there. I have not long purchased a new laptop that came with Vista Ultimate. I have a couple of different programs that I used to use with XP that I now wish to use with vista, but i am having trouble getting them to see my hardware. In Cool Edit Pro 2.0 when I go to extract audio from cd, the drop down box where you select your optical drive is empty, and in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5...

When I go on computer, nothing is displayed except the hard drive. Even when I have things plugged in, like a flash drive, nothing shows up. Disks I put into my optical drive don't appear either. However, when I put a disk or flash drive in, at the bottom bar on the screen an icon appears for Safely Removing the Device. Could someone help me?

But when vista is fully loaded, the USB Keyboard have no function.

So I have a soundcard integrated into my motherboard, a Asus PK5, socket 775. I haven't been able to hear any sound from my new computer running Vista, and I've looked up all sorts of solutions including the ones in the Help and How-to.

I have a ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 2006 with HDTV built in running a X1300 GPU and 256 GDDR2 memory.. The graphics card works fine, but Vista neither recognizes the TV Tuner nor do I think ATI will support it since AMD bought them out.. AMD is being very vague on AIW or any TV Tuner support. I'm curious what Microsoft will do to support the full functions of mass marketed hardware such as...

I hope this is the correct group. I did a search and could not find what I was looking for. I used to be able to adjust the volume on my laptop speakers with the FN and up/down arrows, but now I can't. I tried to figure out how to configure the buttons, but I don't want to screw anything else up. Help please.

First off, I have used Vista on a friend's PC and find it a more "pleasing" interface to use than XP. There are small UI improvements (probably "inspired" by the Mac GUI) such as as the display of mini versions of the minimized windows when the cursor hovers over the window button on the task bar. The simple video editor is a vast (Speed) improvement on the XP version of this application. Also,...
