I'm using...

Our device stopped working in dma mode in vista. This is our own device, and we only did SCSI pass through commands to it. Under vista, these scsi pass through commands only happen in PIO modes, not dma modes. In the device manager the box is checked to use dma, and the device manager properly reports the device as being in UDMA mode 2. However all transfers happen in PIO mode which is...

I have two printers and a scanner not on the list of supported devices for Vista. I have heard that Microsoft is adding supported devices as time passes. Is that true? Is there a way to find out when device support is added other than checking the list periodically? Thanks -- Barbara

The safely remove hardware icon has disappearred from the taskbar. I finally had to disconnect my ipod anyway. Now I find my ipod is corrupted and all podcasts, music, etc. are lumped together under 1 category. For instance, although I have podcasts on the player, I have to search for them manually on the player as the podcast section has nothing in it. Has anyone else dealt with this...

Hi Have had ATI Crossfire running on two x1950x cards without problem on XP. Updated to Home Premium and almost installed Vista compatible drivers on the two graphics cards.

I have an Intel motherboard that has six SATA cable sockets and I am using one for a drive and another for a connection to a port on the front panel of the computer. When the drives are listed under Computer or Manage Drives, the four unused sockets are shown as empty "removable media" drives. I do not want to see these as they just confuse that page. How do I hide them?

I am using Home Premium and recently increased my desktop memory from 2GB to 4GB. The BIOS sees each of four motherboard slots with 1.024GB and reports a total of 4096GB. System information reports seeing only 3.325GB. Can someone please tell me what is going on? Is Vista not using all the available memory?

I purchased 6 Microsoft Basic Optical Mice for my office. So, I thought since I just bought this nice HP Compaq 6515b Laptop AMD Turion64 running Vista Business 32 - that I would use one of these mice. Well Vista says for all of them "USB Device Not Recognized". Then I got 1 to work. I unplugged it and then when I plugged it back, "USB Device Not Recognized. All of these work on many...
