Hi, Since some time, every time I connect new hardware, like usb pendrives or hard drives, the system can not find the drivers and therefor I can not use the device. I know this simple hardwares dont come with cd drivers because it is supposed to be installed automatically by windows, but after some time Im having this problem and not sure why........ JPG

Not as far as I can see; from what you've said it relates to Vista SP1 ... this is a windows update but it is not Windows Update, if you follow the distinction. It presumably wouldn't matter whether you'd installed SP1 via Windows Update, manually, or whether it came preinstalled on your PC. Not that it matters, of course; I'm just being...

Hi there, I have the sound device "SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC" (STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio) which came with my Dell Dimension 5150. Some times some of the Windows Sounds don't function correctly. They loop (have the broken record effect). The Default Beep (Windows Ding.wav) is one that tends to have this problem when prompted. It also plays slightly delayed, performs like the...

I did a clean load of Vista Home Premium x64 yesterday. I built the hardware system with two hard drives, but only had one of them connected when I did the OS load because I wanted to force it to one of them in particular. All went well. Then I simply added the second hard drive, which will be a simple storage drive (and nothing else). The BIOS sees the drive, but Vista does not. Can someone...

I am running Vista on an Asus M70s laptop. Asus has a utility called Chkmail.exe that is opened when Windows starts. Terminating this process (from the task tray icon) solved the problem. The disk is now quiet but still active once in awhile (indexing and defrag) but it is in the background, not thrashing. I found this from looking at the Resource Monitor (Task Manager|Perfomance Tab|Resource...

I have a Toshiba laptop with a Cirrus Logic PCMCIA controller that came installed. I keep getting the error message "This device cannot start (code 10). I've deleted and reinstalled the driver, and looked for a new driver (version from microsoft is 6.0.6001.18000), with no success. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I want to develop an application for Windows Vista, which would detect Power button Press and stop the machine from shutting down or restarting or going into suspend mode. After investigation we found that when the machine is shutdown or restarted "WM_QUERYENDSESSION" message is sent to every process. However to trap this message we had to use SetProcessShutdownParameters with 3FF as...

I have just finished installing Vista Ultimate as a fresh install. I am using a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. When I open the event viewer I have an Event ID 7026 with an explanation that says: "The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: i8042prt Null" What I am finding for fixes pertains to the PS/2 Mouse port, and is way over my head. I do find and entry...

I bought a 1 GB stick of RAM for my comp today, but I made the rookie mistake of not realizing that having an odd number of sticks of RAM in my comp (3x1GB) would make me lose the dual channel. So my question is, do I lose performance by not having the dual channel? Would I actually gain some by having additional memory? Or is it really a crapshoot with no real gain or loss of performance either...

I recently bought an Ipod Touch and when I tried to connect to Itunes from my computer the device was not automatically recognized by Itunes. Instead I got Vista's Autoplay menu which gave me the following three options: - Import pictures using windows - Open Device Using Windows Explorer - Take no action When I go to the device manager and I look at the properties of my Ipod (under...

Hello, I have a Sony DCR-TRV280 camcorder and I recently tried to connect it to my notebook(both have firewire ports) through the i.LINK cable. Problem is, my computer doesn't detect it in any way. I tried using Windows Movie Maker as the capturing program but it doesn't detect neither. I figured it would be like USB and would detect new hardware. I also looked under the device manager. Not...

I have a Toshiba Satellite P105-S9337 running Vista Home Premium edition and Office 2007. I turned the computed on this morning and I am getting no sound out of the internal or external speakers. In the Device Manager under the sound category, (Conexant High Definition SmartAudio HD2) and under properties, it says the device is working properly.

so for some strange reason, lately my system has been locking up a lot depending on what im doing. if its not watching tv its gaming, after 10 mins or so my system would lock up and refuse to respond causing me to reboot. What's strange about this is i've had this install on for about a month and now it's giving me mass amounts of problems like this. i've ran Real Temp (...
