I am using Vista Home Basic. I used to be able to do voice chat on Yahoo when I used XP, but now when I try, I get this error message "This computer does not support the required audio compression format" Supposedly what I need is the DSSP true speech audio codec that was installed with XP. Is this true and where can I get it?

does vista have a fix that will allow devices that are working on xp and older systems to be compatable? I just bought a new laptop with Vista installed, I also bouht a new webcam. The cam works with XP on my old machine, but gets no video on the Vista machine. I thought that Vista would at least support Legacy drivers and devices. Why does Vista not run certain applications due to...

I just bought a new laptop with Vista installed. I also purchased a webcam that will not run with vista, but works on my older machine (XP) Also, I cannot find patches for autocad or a number of my business applications. Are there legacy drives / patches for vista that will support older hardware / software? HELP!!!

I have upgraded to a wireless N router with rangeboost, Picked up a matching rangboosted PCI card for my PC. The problem is that the N is dropping out and has signal strength of fair to low it is connecting at 300 mbp's but is very unstable. I went back to my wireless G USB adapter and I get good to excellent signal strength and it does not drop off. All other G devices & computers work...

I am having a problem with the drivers not working correctly after a reboot. Some of the display options don't work and it won't load game profiles. I have to reinstall the driver if I reboot or shutdown and restart. Any Ideas? Thanks.

I've got the correct progs, as well as a professional mic. I want to mic my guitar and record onto my pc. However...... Vista says my microphone is not supported?? It's a Peavey Vi2. fella at the P.C shop here in town says my mic should work, my soundcard will provide pre-amp if needed... BUT, I need a codec or something that will allow my pc to see my mic as a midi Input?? (I'm kinda PC...

I have a Netdisk external hard drive with around 55 gigs of free space. In vista, I tried to copy over a 4 gig file to the external hard drive. It then gives me an error saying that the file is too large for the destination file system. I have over 55 gigs and when I tried to copy 4 gig worth of files on my other computer, which is running xp, it works fine. Somebody please help me.

I have a new Gateway laptop that has a built in web cam. I used it once successfully but now everytime I try it I get the message "locked by another application" What does this mean? I've searched everywhere for information on the Camera Assistant Software and cannot find any information on it!

Any creative driver I install for the card says no compatible device found. End of story. I have tried Vista drivers, 2003, 2000, XP, XP64, ME and none of them will see my card as a true blue sound blaster audigy. It's like the installer from creative thinks I have no product they make.

I was told via Email today that Adaptec has no plans to support Windows Vista in alpha, beta, RC or final stages until after 2007!!! So what can I do if I use the 1200A raid controller do I have to reformat my raid just to put this on? Surely there is adaptec support in windows vista as in XP service pack 1? Any info on the 2940UW SCSI Cards and ATA 1200A RAID controller is appreciated. I...

Ok I too had my mouse, just flat out not working. It is an optical USB Logitec run of the mill 30 dollar model or so. I just unplugged it from the USB powered hub, which is not under powered, and plugged it into on open port on the back of the machine and pow it worked! Some of us I think are experiencing problems with our powered hubs and Win Vista. That could explain why some of the USB...

Ok it says that the Vista inspect doesn't like the driver for my 1200A IDE Raid card from adaptec, since this is function under XP SP2 will this create a problem with Vista RC-1? I would hate to have it half installed and then turn all my hard disk to a waste land :) Oh yes and is the 2940 UW supported, if it is then the Upgrade Advisor is detecting my 2940UW from Adaptec's driver isn't...

I just found out loading the windows 2003 driver for the HTP3xx series RAID controllers will get things running for most users having the RAID not being seen. Just tell the install where you hide you driver and let it load it. Never bothered me again about it :)

Ok guys this driver is simple to get running. All I had to do was use the Win95/98SE driver of all things. However, it does work though and now instead of another unknown USB device I know have my entire PC functional under Win Vista! Just unplug the drive from the USB cable then make sure to run the Mitusmi installer as Administrator, as if that has to be mentioned but I am sure some noobs...

Can't trust those third party installers I have a little bit of a similar issue. The sound card isn't even seen as a sound blaster family card and it's an Audigy. I think creative might need to refine the installer itself to get our problems fixed. But that's why they call it beta I suppose :) "Lee" wrote: As of this morning using device manager and asking it to update the driver for...
