Windows XP had support in the Power options area of Control Panel for UPS-initiated shutdown; I have one of the classic APC Back-UPS that uses a serial port to connect to the computer and signal it to shut down if the AC power fails. I cannot find settings for this in Vista RC2. Will I need to resort to running Power Chute Plus, will it run on Vista? Can't seem to find any thing in the help...

Whenever I restart Windows, the default sound device changes from "Speakers" to "Digital Output Device (SPDIF)." I end up having to manually reset "Speakers" to default. I would say that this happens 85-90% of the time I restart. Why won't the default device remain as I set it? I'm running Windows Ultimate 32-bit and my sound card is a Prodigy HD2 with the most current drivers. I'd...

I have...
