Windows Vista mouse issue.. Possibly ease of use type issue? by Malakie
Hi, I too am having a mouse issue with Vista however mine is a bit different. The mouse works fine until I press the shift, alt or ctrl keys then I get a 3-4 second 'pause' or freeze of the mouse then it starts working again. At first I thought this was something to do with the handicap features like sticky keys and such... I have never used them and I have verified that all those...

HP Color Laser Jet 2800 series print driver by Justin2468
Hi, Windows Vista newby here. I searched this forum and found a link to a Universal print driver on HP's web site. I downloaded the driver but Vista is complaining that it is not compatible. I wondered if someone could point me to a correct driver, or I can keep hunting for a working driver. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1.

Ghost movement of cursor and pointer. by Duke
I use the Inspiron/6000 laptop and I use a mouse when I am working at home or in the office. I have a problem with the cursor and pointer moving, even when I am not touching the mouse. While typing on one line the cursor will all of a sudden jump somewhere else on the page. Someone suggested turning off the touch pad, but I cannot find out how to do this on the Inspiron. I am not sure how...

ActiveSync, DEP and prevention of installations by JBL-OverTheWeb.org
I am running into clients who cannot install ActiveSync with their smart phones because of DEP. Are their any clear instructions on how to allow the installation to run? The default instructions to allow ActiveSync to insall do not work, and users are simply turning off DEP all together, or simply returning either their smarphones or PC's to the dealers.

Microphone static by Arielle
I used to love recording audio with my last laptop (with XP), and everything worked perfectly with Audacity and a regular, cheap microphone (the ones that sometimes come with computers). However, I have already tried two such microphones for my new laptop which has Vista on it, and while it can pick up sound from the get-go, it also exhibits static whether I'm talking into the mic or not!...

Overclocking makes computer run slower by mattinahat
I have an E6750 OCed to 3.8 with a (in cpu-z) 1.408 vcore (can't remember what it is in bios... something like 1.4625??) and after i go above 3.6 my system actually goes slower... I have a Tuniq Tower 120 LFB (LFB just means it has blue lights) so heat isn't a problem. Also is a 1.9GHz FSB dangerous?? I have a GA-P35-DS3 with the stock heatsink on SB and NB but it think top temp for NB is like...

OK, everytime the computer restarts, it says there is a problem with one of my disks and does a disk check. I tried to restore to a earlier point when the problem wasn't going on, but it says there is a disk error and won't restore. I did the F8 key and the repair computer to no avail. I used the cprompt to chkdsk and it says there are no errors. Regardless, everytime the computer is...

I have been using dual monitors to extend my display area. Last night it appears that there was an automatic update to my PC. Not a problem, except now my second display is not showing up. I know it's on because the power button is blinking. How do I get the second monitor to show the display again? This happened before after an update but I can't remember how we fixed it. I'm using...

Large files not copying from SD Card reader by Harry Henry Gebel
I am running Vista on my desktop. I recently got a large memory card for my camera and began using it to take long videos for the first time (with my old memory card I only had enough space for still photos and short video clips). Doing this I discovered a problem that I didn't know existed: My computer cannot copy large files using a USB card reader. While I haven't been able to find the...
