Greetings I have Windows Vista 32-bit. I also have a TV tuner Leadtek TV2000 XP, a keyboard A4tech KB(S)-8 and a sound card Creative Audigy SE. I have installed the latest drivers for all of these components. The problem I have is that the volume buttons on the Leadtek PVR program and the volume buttons on the keyboard do not work. That is, they have no effect. The sound card works fine in my...

Hi I have a 3 port firewire card based on the VIA Technologies VT6306 chip. I inserted into an isa slot and Vista x64 picked it up and installed the drivers. Unfortunately I am no longer able to boot up my PC, it just hangs on startup. So i went and removed the card and it all booted up ok. I'm pretty sure the firewire card is not at fault as I tried a Belkin one and that did not work...

Hi there, I came home from the store today having bought a USB network adapter from Linksys (WUSB300N). I had specificly looked for the "Certified for Windows Vista" to ensure that I wouldn't find myself... writing here at least. Now. The installation of the product worked fine and I found the network to be ok to begin with. The fact was that it wasn't and after a while it shut down...

Hi All, Looking for a Heat Sink for the Maximus Formula Mother Board. Here is the link for the MB: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1850&mo delmenu=2 The problem is that there are heat sinks within the CPU socket, so the heat sink with the fan needs to be elevated. I tried and none worked. I was told that Zalman CNPS9500A LED should work but I get mixed...

Hi. I just bought this new system last night. Upon set-up there was a .txt about bluetooth stack installation guide. It stated "Bluetooth Stack Installation Guide This document guides users to install or upgrade the Bluetooth Stack on Windows Vista." So i followed the directions and uninstalled the previous version and downloaded in the new version. Unfortunately upon installing, I keep...

I have used XP for years to process mini-dv hom movies for relatives and add to our own video collection. I thought I was upgrading when I purchased a new Dell Inspiron with Vista. This is a brand-new machine. It recognizes my Western Digital outboard firewire drive just fine, but it will NOT recognize either of my two firewire cameras. One is a Panasonic and one is a Canon. The...

I am trying to get my MP3 player (Sansa m230) to work in vista, and I have made a lot of headway, but... When in normal use (moving music in or out, and playing) it seems to work fine. In windows explorer it shows up as drive "J". When I switch the device internally to "MSC" mode (required to update firmware) it shows up in explorer as drive "K" and I get an error message- "Exception...

When I plug in the SD card, the device driver cannot be found, and the card cannot be read. I tried to install the KB936825, but at the end of the installation process it says "the update does not apply to your system". How can I solve the problem of having a card-reader that cannot read my SD card? Thank you, Macha

Several USB storage devices (3 flash drives and 2 external disk drives) that were recognised automatically by Windows XP have failed to be recognised by Vista. Vista requests a driver from the manufacturer's CD which, of course, doesn't exist. I can work around it thus: Tell Vista to look for a driver in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore, Vista installs a driver for a USB mass storage device....

So I got a headset a while ago and it worked fine. All suonds came through my headset, not including my own voice. Though now Ive reinstalled my mic, the sound of my voice can also be heard through my mic speakers which can get VERY annoying hearing every breath I take. Is there a way in-game or in the OS that I can change this back to what it was before (before, my own voice was probably...

Hi, I used Vista for the 30 days trial period. Currently, I am operating with the reduced functionality mode.

How can I enable my d drive to read discs so that I can use my reinstallation disc to reformat my computer? Thanks, Joe

I got a LCD Monitor DVI Asus VW222U. I have installed the correct driver from ASUS. I got a problem with a flickering screen. I have tried to adjust the screen refresh rate, but I am only given two option: 59Hz and 60 Hz. I tried the monitor menu as well, but no sucess. The monitor guide advises to adjust the clock rate under the Focus menu, but there is no such option in the menu. It follows...

Hi, I installed a new 500GB Samsung SATA drive to replace my 250GB Maxtor SATA. I used Norton Ghost 12 to image copy the original disk to the new Samsung and then swapped them over physically. The new disk works fine but I obviously chose the wrong options when creating the image backup since Vista thinks the new disk is a Maxtor and only 250GB in size.
