Hello, I have a Canon BJC-85 printer. I have the IS-12 scanner cartridge that allows you to scan and copy documents. This worked fine with XP. With vista it does not work. I have tried running the Canon ISScan software in Legacy mode. I have also tried using the Twain drivers through other scanning software. I can not get it to work. The Canon site simply says that no drivers are being...

I have an HP laptop with Windows Vista, and I have no real complaints about it except this %^#*ing 'double tap' thing being double click. I can't stand it. I've accidentally clicked on countless things over the past two days (I just got this laptop). Yet I can find no way to edit it. Help? I'm about ready to chuck this thing out a window because it's so frustrating. I downloaded Synaptics,...

I upgraded to 4GB RAM(2*2GB). when upgraded to 4GB in bios able to see as ~3.33GB of RAM.

After upgrading to x64 my mouse no longer functions as anything but a 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel. Logitech says that the Vista Native Drivers are sufficient to use but they are not. I have always used Mouseware which allows me to select the wheel as double click and the other buttons to be set for what I wanted. In one of the threads in the Developer newsgroup I saw that someone named...

Can anybody help me with my PC is getting several of these Error messages at a time? They have an error description of "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\Ideport2." They only started around a month ago and I haven't made any hardware changes. The symptom is that the PC will basically freeze up. I can see several hits from Google (not much help from Microsoft's support)...

I trust this is the group to ask -- if not, please do let me know where to try next. I have Windows XP, so I cannot answer this by examining my own machine. I am teaching an 80+ year old to use her computer. The intellectual part of the process she is quite good with, but has some fine motor problems in controlling her mouse . I think a trackball would be much better for her.

For example, the brightness wont go up or down, i'm missing the battery icon (on...

I have an eSATA drive formatted NTFS from my XP installation. Drive works fine from either XP or Linux (multi-boot machine) I had previously tried Vista on the machine but it saw the eSATA drive as unformatted. Gave the message "Do you want to format this drive?" Very dangerous as an unknowing person may have actually formatted the drive and lost all their data.

Vista Ultimate 32-bit. DELL Dimension 9200 with NVIDIA 7900 GS Yesterday I installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA site (ver. 190.62) and now the graphic card fan starts running each time I open something (e.go. Internet or Windows Explorer, or the Notepad). Anyone met such a problem?

A friend has a Lenovo laptop running Vista Home Premium. Right now, when booting to Vista the PC bluescreens and starts the boot process over again. This happens in normal as well as safemode. When in safemode the last file loaded is DISKCRC.SYS (probably just the last SYS file that would normally load). After a few seconds the bluescreen occurs and the laptop restarts. I don't have the...
