Bluetooth Headset and Audio Gateway by RIckP
I have installed my Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset using the Bluetooth wizard. When I turn on the headset, it shows the device being recognised and then says it is connecting the headset to the "Audio Gateway" service on this computer. If I look in the Device Manager under sounds, I can not find the Bluetooth Headset. When I do a search on Audio Gateway I get no results. What is the...

DVD-RW drive question by RickyBobby
How come this happens? I will be using Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium and it simply will not recognize any DVD that I put in the DVD drive. I hit restart and the same thing happens. Then I hit shut down and let it shut down and then restart it with the power button and the DVD-RW drive and any disc in it will be read perfectly. This seems odd and disconcerting. Thanks to anybody who...

Trying to figure something out by RickyBobby
I have messed about and confused my own self. I have two desktop computers at home that I assembled myself. A few weeks ago both of them went belly up. It was the power supply on one of them which took some other parts with it and the mainboard on the other. So of course I bought a bunch of new parts such as CPU, power supply, couple of motherboards, and a video card. After using the old...

CPU heatsink fan by RickyBobby[_2_]

When I am done building one I look at the hardware monitor stuff in the BIOS and like the CPU temp to be below 120 F. Not that I think that it matters all that much but 120 is...

Also when computer is in sleep mode and I move my mouse it will wake up computer and monitor, but then the mouse pointer freezes on screen. I have to use the shut down button and restart computer. Thanks

Vista no longer recognises Memup USB 2.0 hard-drive by Ric[_2_]
I recently upgraded my PC from XP to Vista Business. At first, it recognised fine my Memup external USB hard-drive. But now, after a week or so, the USB hard-drive is no longer visible in "My Computer". It shows up as working in Device Manager, and the driver is the most recent available.
