Just installed Vista Home Premium on a 2.7 GHz with 1 GB of ram and all is well except the audio will stop responding. When running Winamp especially the sound will just stop and then all of a sudden Winamp will not play audio files at all either. I have found that by restarting the "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder" from within the services of Computer Management audio returns and Winamp...

I am using Vista RC1 and having the most annoying problem with my wireless adapter. My PC connects to my wireless network via a Netgear WG311v3 PCI Adapter.

All of a sudden I started getting error messages about a security infringement (something about a file size mismatch) and then a message about not having genuine Windows.

Windows says it hasn't been...

I've heard reasons why they dumbed down the new Defrag tool, but here's one excellent reason why any feedback at all would help. When I run the tool manually that stupid circle rotates and there's a message saying it could take a few minutes to a few hours. Well, unless I shut down the program it runs for days on end. Clearly if it was running everyday at 4 AM it wouldn't take that long to...

In Device Manager, Windows has an error since there's no driver for my monitor. I downloaded and tried to install the driver (an .inf file) by going to Update Driver, but it won't work, and when I go to "choose from a list of drivers" nothing is displayed. The same thing happens for my DVD/CD Reader/Writer.

I had this problem about a week ago, it went away by itself, and now it's back again. Vista stopped recognizing my SATA II HDD for no reason. What am I supposed to do to get it working again?

All of a sudden Vista won't recognize my Samsung hd1600jj 160GB SATA II Drive, or my Samsung CD/DVD Reader/Writer. It's asking for the drivers, but I never needed drivers for them in the first place.

Hello all. My problem is that my computer has random crashes, random crashes meaning it can happen everyday at different times or sometimes just once a week. I've tried to see if it's a program (itunes, firefox, etc.) maybe causing the problem but it doesn't seem to be. When it crashes it goes to a blue screen saying it will restart in and it's pretty fast but still it's a problem.

I have tried to upgrade my system twice with vista and both times it shows an error in the installation and to notify the maker of the computer.

I recently bought a new computer that was loaded with Windows Vista Home Basic (32 bit). I like ergonomic keyboards, so I bought the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. It was OEM, so it didn't come with a disk. I went online to the Microsoft site and downloaded the install software (ITP32ENG.exe). After installing the software, I plugged in the keyboard. The typical install...
