I have just loaded Vista premium on my PC and I cannot get my packard bell remote control to work on Windows Media Centre, does anyone have any ideas how to get it to work. I have tried the pb website but they only have drivers for xp.

I'm looking for help on this one, I've been trying to fix it for the last 2 days to no effect. If I insert any disc into into my Asus 1612BL dvd drive it green lights chunters for a minute or two and then goes dead, right clicking on the drive to explore or open elicits the message (when it eventually responds) "insert a disc". So far I have tried rolling back to a previous update,...

Hi All, I'm running Vista Ultimate OEM vers. and I'm trying to add another SATA HD to use as a backup drive. I already have a RAID 0 as the main drive and an additional drive for swap, small backups etc. but have exceeded capacity and need a new full backup drive. Problem is I can't get Vista to recognise the drive. It appears in the Device Manager as an unknown device and doesn't appear at...

Hi. I've been running my machine with XP Pro with a two 320Gig SATA Raid and with two different sized SATA disks(non RAID). Anyways, Two days ago I installed Vista Ultimate to my machine.

The ones that were not in the...

Has anyone else had difficulty in using an internal SCSI tape drive for backing up in Vista? How did you resolve the issue. Would love to hear from you. The tape drive worked fine under XP. I did figure out how to enable removable storage. I can see the drive in computer manager, it even see the tapes in the drive. But try as I might, I cannot get the included back-up software to...

At present, the sound is working properly from my Vaio laptop's internal speakers, but when I plug in the headphones to the headphone jack, I don't get any sound. The driver is a "high definition audio device" version 6.0.6000.16386 dated 21/06/2006. Vista device manager informs me that "this device is working properly". Nevertheless, I uninstalled this driver, then turned the computer off...

I am not a new user, and do have administrator rights. The problem is that I cannot install or read a CD. Windows explorer immediately stops working. I can listen to audio CD's and watch DVD's in windows media however, so I know the problem is not with the DVD player itself. I have checked my device drivers, and the VOBID InstantDrive CD SCSI CD Rom Devise is not working. I have...

My new Windows Vista Dell machine is not recognizing the shuffle when I plug it in the front USB ports. It does come up when I plug it into one of the back USB ports. I checked the front ports and they work with other devices. Spent an hour with Dell tech support and they think it is a compatbility issue with Vista and/or iTunes. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any ideas on...

Hello, Does anybody know how to repair a contact (the most annoying contact yet in the 21st century) on a TV tuner? It worked about 2h once, why?!? The circuit repaired itself? Help. Pleeease. ||_||

OK, Tim, Now, let me get this straight: the tuner IS VISTA CERTIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!! but no functionality at all. From the recent analysis of the situation, it might be a port problem. Because the tuner was tested on another computer and it did not work. That computer had XP. It had the drivers. So, i'll just have to... sort of buy another one, no? ------------------

I am not able to find the settings that were in XP, that allow you to have all voice come in through the headset, instead of the speakers and the rest of the sound come from the speakers. I have my headset working, but when another person talks back to me, it comes through the speakers instead of the headset. In XP you were able to have the voice playback come through just the headset and...

I have speakers plugged into the motherboard sound socket and USB headset. In Windows XP I am able select the speakers for audio playback and the headset for voice playback and this works fine (eg speakers for music and headset for Skype). But in Vista I can only choose one of these devices for playback of audio and voice. Is there a way to use both the speakers and the headset?

Hello, In Windows XP you were able to connect, for example, a USB headset and then set that device as the "Voice" device while keeping the main computer speakers as the default device for all other sounds. This allowed a person to keep their headset connected and use it for voice conversations using IM programs while still being able to have their speakers for music and other sounds. Even...
