While uninstalling a few unneeded programs the other day I accidentally uninstalled the Mass Media Storage Driver and didn't notice until after it was completely uninstalled (kicks self in face). I can't find my Vista disc right now so I was wondering if there was anywhere online I could re-install it? Any help would be great. Thanks,

Good Morning, I recently installed Vista Home Premium X64 on my machine, and this started happening. When I awaken the PC it stops accessing almost instantly.

I have 3 drives mapped with drivers installed, but I do not actually have these devices. I go into device manager to uninstall the driver and the device, it works, but then immediately the driver is automatically re-installed. This is for Vista Home Premium. How do I stop the auto install from happening so I can uninstall the drives? These drives are for backup drives that I do not have. --...

Can't find this exact question here.... so mine is: I bought a new SATA internal HDD and want to move my current Vista installation to it. I should have no trouble moving the system files to that new drive. The key question is: Will Vista need me to reactivate? Will there be any other product hiccups?

I had already uploaded two batches of pics and it was when I refreshed the page to upload the third set that I got the message "The drive previously accessed is not available" I decided to try looking for the files on 'my computer' but when i tried to access the drive (H:\), it gave me the message...

Hi all Im searching for drivers for Realtek 8029 (10mbit pci) card for Vista x64. I know many cards have that chipset, and it was native supported in XP, so I dont understand why they removed it in Vista. When I try XP drivers from some manufacturers, it tell me, there is no drivers for that device or its not x64. Anyone know how to solve it? Maybe some trick to force install 32bit drivers? I...

Windows Home Basic does not recognize an inserted optical disk. Indeed, it doesn't show the drive at all. I performed a non-distructive system recovery. Nothing had changed. I went to Device Manager and found an exclamation point for the optical drive. I uninstalled the driver expecting Windows to reload it at restart and rebooted. Again, nothing had changed. I have the Vista...

Hi. My notebook hard drive (Vista Home) was failing (I botched the install of SP1) and I was unable to backup my files before it wouldn't boot anymore. I hoped I could use the drive externally on my XP P4 desktop to transfer the files over. XP sees the drive as D & E (main partition and recovery partition). But when I try to access the drive, it just runs. I

I have just added a second SATA hard drive to my PC (Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB). My Vista Home Premium installation is on a partition on a Seagate 200GB SATA drive. After I installed the new drive, everything started up fine. I moved some files to the new drive (I partitioned it into 2x250GB partitions), and it again was working fine. After I closed it, I tried to open Computer...

Whenever I put a storage in my USB drive, when I try to access it, it says Access is denied. I looked it up on google and found that it was quite a common problem in Vista, and that the problem was in permissions, and all I had to do was to take ownership of whatever I had in my drive. However, when I try to do this, it says Access is denied. I have tried taking ownership using the hidden...
