I'm running Vista Home Premium over a wireless home network. Device Manager/Network Adapters shows 2 entries for Tun Miniport Adapter (#2 and #3). Both have the yellow ! next to them showing a conflict. I don't want to just delete one of them not knowing exactly what they are. Is there anything I can do to resolve this conflict? Thank you.

I don't believe that ATI intends to support my AIW card so I'm looking for a TV tuner/capture card. Nvidia has a dual tuner card as well as Hauppage. Both seem to be supported in Vista. Any comments about either of these cards (or others) and the quality of the Vista support? Do they come with reasonable software for viewing/capturing, or is Media Center the only option? Is it a...

I have the MSI digital anywhere atsc card installed. media center only detects the digital tuner. I cant seem to get it to see the cable tuner. I have reset and resetup to the same thing. When Vista gets to the desktop the sound from the cable tuner comes on. I have looked for other apps that may be initializing it, nothing. I have installed the drivers that came with it and i have also...

On my computer I have a USB external hard drive and when my system comes out of sleep the autoplay kicks in. Is there a way to disable the autoplay feature for just the USB hard drive (but leave the autoplay for ALL other things). Any help/ advice or comments would gratefully accepted. NIK --

Does anyone know how I can turn off tapping on the touchpad and mouse "stick" on a Dell D820? My experience: I installed the Alps input device driver for XP from the Dell website but Vista warned me the driver is known to have problems. It's working for just the tapping shutdown but I'm concerned about stability. Should I be surprised that by now we still do not have this kind of controls...

Friend has a need to turn off machine automatically. Say at 11:45 PM every night. Once machine is off the machine will be turned on manually in the AM. Is this possible using just Vista, or is there a program that can do it. Reason for request is to get a teenager asleep at a reasonable time since said child has a somewhat dangerous job and need the rest. TIA

How do you turn off the auto dectetion of displays on Vista. I have a laptop that has a resolultion of 1920 x1200 and the display I am plugging in only has 1280 x1024. So it tries to make the external display as primary but I dont want that.

Hi I am trying to install some new drivers for my Hauppauge tv card on my Vista OS. This requires me to remove the existing drivers and restart my computer. My problem is that when the computer reboots the old drivers automatically reload. I can tell this by the bubble which pops up in the bottom right hand corner of my screen telling me that windows is locating the drivers. Clicking on...

Hi All, I'm running Vista on a Toshiba Portege M200. The M200 has a Synaptics Touchpad. I have installed the Synaptics Vista drivers from http://www.synaptics.com/support/drive.cfm (version 9.1.0) since the Toshiba site doe not list any Vista TouchPad drivers. Two things are wrong. Firstly every time I start my laptop I get an error message "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you...

Ok, so I installed Vista Home Premium last night and was told by the turtle beach program that my drivers were not compatible with Vista. I didn't care since my speakers still worked ok. The set up is a USB sound card with 5.1 speakers plugged into them. Then, overnight, Windows only did 2 things, installed some updates, and went into sleep mode. In the morning, my speakers were no longer...

The Turtle Beach website states that there are no Vista drivers available. Okay, I can live with that but what is a good replacement. Because I have my computer wired to my sound system, I am dependent on a card with good quality sound and I would like to have the 4 channel feature of the Santa Cruz. I searched for sound card NGs and webpages but came up blank. Any help would be...
