I am working on moving over to Windows Vista, in hopes of going officially to Windows 7. I know I should be checking for Windows 7 but I have a full Vista Ultimate 64Bit. I have most of my devices configured but I do not seem to get my GVC modem to install. It is based off a Conexant processor and XP was able to use a "generic" Conexant driver. What can I do with this?

Hi, We have some unusual behaviour with Vista CD/DVD Autoplay handling in which every DVD or CD that is entered to the disc drive produces the autoplay handler for Blank CD and hence launches the Burn a Disc message. With these settings, It is impossible to access any disc via the explorer and it is necessary to use the cmd window to launch any executable's that are available on the disc.

My disc drives are now showing up in the safely remove hardware icon of the task bar. How do i keep them from being there? they are permanent drives, not external. why did they all of a sudden show up there. thanks -- moondogg

Recently upgraded RAM from 2GB to 4GB. Vista memory diagnostic tool reports no errors found. System recognized memory at 4GB but task manager indicates total physical memory at just over 2500MB. Does this mean that Vista only addresses a little over 2500MB of memory only? Is the 1500MB excess wasted? -- benson.gs
