Flash Memory by Shirish Gulawani
I am using a Campaq V3033AU Notebook. It is AMD Turion 64X2, 100GB, 2GB.NVidia Go6150. I have a Card Reader in the notebook. If I permanently keep an SD Card (Sandisk Extreme IV 2GB SDCFRX42048902) in the Card Reader Will Vista Home Basic use it as Flash memory and is the Card fast enough to be used instead of Hard Disk Page File? Shall 2GB be enough or should I use 4GB?

I have Vista Home Premium installed and everything used to be working well. My video card died and it has been RMA'ed and in the meantime I instaled my old video card. Everything works as it should except in the Windows Media Center. It starts up properly with all the right sounds and I can hear when I move to the different menus. However when I go to live TV or try to play a recorded show, I...

DHCP fails on WLAN by Simon Niederberger
Hi all I've got a brand new Levono T61p (running Vista Business) with a WiFiLink 4965AGN and am trying to connect to a Zyxel G-2000plus v2 with DHCP. The WLAN card does request an IP, the Zyxel does associate the card (MAC address) with an IP temporarily, but the card then seems to discard the IP, because the DHCP association disappears again from the Zyxel status page. Finally, the WLAN...

Vista 64bit on ASUS A8V board by Skeeve
Hi, I have recently upgraded my PC to an AMD Athlon 64 bit X2 on an ASUS A8V mainboard. Also used the opportunity to get a Vista x64 license. So I installed it and soon got stuck with the NVIDIA 7900GTO card I have. Turns out I had to tweak the graphics card's bios to get that to work properly in high resolutions. But that works great now. Also had to get drivers from the Realtek website for...

Vista & External Hardrive by Rachael
I have an external hardrive that used to work on my laptop (I am using Vista) but now comes up as a generic F drive and doesn't recognise the hard drive. It gives the option of re-formatting which I don't want to do cause it will wipe my hard drive. I have spoken to a friend who says it's the Vista drivers that are the problem How do I get my laptop to recognise the hard drive again?
