I was thinking about getting a joystick. Or maybe the XBox 360 wireless controller. But I heard that the Xbox 360 doesn't really work with most games. I was thinking specifically of Battlefield 2. Anyone know of a joystick that actually has Vista support? Maybe even Vista 64 support?

I just used Acronis Disk Director 10 to create a new 40GB partition. I used the OS Loader to Boot from CD and when Vista was installing, it asked me to select a partition to use. I selected the newly created partition but clicking on Next did nothing. There was a msg at the bottom of the screen that basically said that the device driver for the partition (drive) might not be...

Pass this on to others, it may help. It seems that a driver update has added either an upper or lower filter for the DVD player registry in the system registry. I found that my DVD player didn't show up at all in the explorer, and when I went to burn a DVD/CD it gave me a message that the media wasn't found. Here is the fix I found after waisting my time trying to remedy the

At first I thought I had something to do with my logitech wireless mouse, but I have tried setting up just the touch pad, then reboot but nothing, it just...

I have recently installed windows vista home premium on my newly built computer. My DVD rom shows up in the bios and on windows when you go to my computer. However when you place a CD or DVD in and the autorun kicks in the screen goes nuts with diagnally running lines. The computer also locks up and has to be restarted. I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of this?

My computer is over 4 years old now and I am ready to turn it into a secondary computer in my home. I currently have Windows Vista Ultimate installed on it, but because the hardware is somewhat old, I'm not getting a very good experience with it.

I installed an X1950 Pro 256 mb video card (Visiontek) into my system and it receives a 1.0 for both graphics and game graphics. The CPU is an AMD Barton 2500+ (a bit long in the tooth, i know) with 1 gb RAM. I loaded the lateset drivers from ATI ( 8.33 released this week). I have refreshed the WEI still get 1.0 for both scores. In the details, Vista sees the card correctly but does not...

Hi there. I have just got ahold of Vista and a whole new comp. Anyways, everything works fine aside for one minor problem. On my mainboard I only have 1 IDE channel, and unfortunately I need 2 channels, so I got ahold of a pci controller. However Vista does not seem to recognize the HD on the controller, even though my BIOS does. Is there a way to work around this so it recognizes the HD?

I installed the Audigy SE sound card before upgrading to Vista Ultimate using the Vista driver from the Creative website.

When I check Recording/Playback devices both my microphone and speakers are...

I've been battling this for over a month now. I've tried removing the upper and lower filters from the registry. I've tried removing iTunes (like one person suggested). I can't even reformat and reinstall XP because I can't get the CD-ROM drive to work enough to read the XP System Restore discs. If I could I would dump Vista as quick as I could. No DVD-Rom means I can reinstall Vista Home...
