My computers has lost the drivers for the CD-RW and the DVD-ROM. This happened after installing vista. I followed the instructions to delete the upper key filters and the lower key filters (which I never found), but nothing has worked. I would like to use my original restore disc to go back to XP, but the computer can't boot from the CD-RW because it doesn't find the driver. I've got my...

Intalled Vista Home Premium in January. For a while I could get the two drives to show up again if I restarted the computer. Now they won't show up at all in Device Manager or Computer. Please help. I hate to think I threw my $159 away buying the OS. My next option is to try to get the system to boot from my original XP Home Restore disc, and I don't even know if it will do that with the way...

Hardware setup Acer Aspire 9300-4272 1.5 G Memory 120 GB Harddrive Wireless 17" display Acer OrbiCam Initially the camera was working fine.

I have a 64-bit Vista Home Premium system with the wireless Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000, consisting of keyboard plus mouse. The mouse's IntelliPoint driver provides a very useful feature called Instant View, which responds by default to a push on the wheel button, and shows a full-screen display of all apps currently running. This is the best task-switcher I've seen, since it gives a...

I've just installed another 2 Gig of RAM because Vista ultimate 64bit is quite hungry for memory. In the windows experience index I had a score of 5.6 out of 5.9, with the 2 gig of memory bringing it down to 5.6, the rest of the hardware scoring top at 5.9 I thought that by installing 4 gig in total my memory score would go up to 5.9 too, but can you believe it, it's dropped to 5.5!...

I can get it to work installing in compatibility for xp or 2000 but then as soon as computer is restarted, the sound card is not functioning once again. Does anybody know of any solutions aside from getting a new sound card. This is the only serious issue with vista...

If I install a new harddrive and video card in windows Vista Home Premium will WGA kill my OS? If so, and I have an OEM copy will Microsoft reset it?

I am new to this group, so I apologize in advance if I am asking a redundant question. I looked, but didn’t see the answer anywhere. I understand that a 32 bit operating system can only see 4 gb of RAM. Windows XP had a switch you could turn on in the boot.ini file that allowed you to use 3 gb RAM to a single program. I am a photographer and utilize Adobe PhotoShop (a huge RAM slut) and...

After upgrading to Vista, I find that was once my state-of-the-art video card (Nvidia FX-2000) won’t run Vista worth a darn. I am a professional phhotographer and live within numerous applications that utilize dual monitor setups. While my existing FX-2000 does OK with single monitor, it is slower than $#*&% with dual monitor use (is actually un-usably slow). I plan on updating to 64 bit...

It would be interesting to start a thread about download speeds for the Vodafone Ireland E20 USB Modem. To be honest I am unsure of what speeds I should be getting and want to compare with other users in Ireland .... For example : Today I downloaded a 1.5 meg video clip. At the start the download speed was showing at 92K/sec !!!!!! This almost immeadiately dropped by half ... And then continued...
