Does anybody know what are the requirements for an SD card to function in readyboost helping in the performance of Vista? I have tested some over here (Toshiba 256MB, Kingston 2GB), but the system says it's not readyboost compatible! Does it have to do with the speed of the SD? -- beto666

I have a 500GB LaCie drive, which windows recognizes after I plug in the USB cable.

I can close it, and everything's fine. Every it prompts...

I have an Everex Impact GA 3400 computer. I put my SD card from my digital camera in, but it is not being recognized. How do i fix the problem?

My laptop battery ran down to 0%, and once I plugged in the AC adaptor, it just shows the message "Plugged in, Not charging" and stuck at 0%. This doesn't happen all the time for some reason, as sometimes it will actually charge while it is plugged in. If I load too many applications now, the computer will automatically shut down, and then it STILL won't charge. By the way, the laptop is...

I've tried a couple of times in the past to upgrade the driver for my 7600GS from the nVidia web site. They've been dreadful: buggy, unfinished, and for some reason slower than the one that came "in the box" with Vista (apparently itself an early nVidia driver). Anyway, Windows Update offered to update my driver yesterday, so I thought "If Microsoft have put it on their server, it must be a...
