I recently installed Windows Vista Business. When I power on, there are certain device drivers that repeat their installation process each time. The devices associated with the drivers work, no problem, but why does Windows Vista Business want to (successfully) install them at each power on? Anyone run into this situation? The drivers are as follows: PCI Standard PCI-to-PCI Bridge High...

I have an Intel 945GMA chipset, with integrated audio. Vista doesn't detect any audio output devices. On startup, Windows Update runs, finds the Sigmatel HD Codec, but it fails to install, because the soundcard doesn't respond. The soundcard is connected, as audio works fine using Ubuntu 7.04. Also, if it helps, it is a Mac Mini, and audio has worked on previous installs of Vista. Any...

So I just finished installing the KB937077 update for Vista which is supposed to fix the problem relating to hybrid sleep mode and Vista not playing 24bit hd audio after it. The problem still persists, however, but strangely enough when I turn my speakers all the way up I can hear a very faint bit of whatever is playing (though barely enough that it registers for more than 1-2dBa. Any...

So I spent weeks finding out how to fix the annoying 'Found new hardware' problem everytime I connected a simple USB flash drive, and I thought 'Great'. Good old Microsoft! Then I get a brand new Samsung SATA 500GB HDD and plug it in...and guess what? Windows asks me for drivers (this is a HARD DRIVE for goodness sake) and then searches Windows update...can't find anything, so I eventually...

I have vista clean installed. Recently I put a fine 1G SD card into the internal card reader on my ACER TM370 laptop. Vista recognized it, installed drivers, and than I saw a new "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" -- "RICOH SD/MMC Controller" in the Device Manager, a new removable disk icon appear in "My Computer", everything seems all right. But when I open it by clicking icon, a pop window told...

I have a Vista Ultimate laptop connected to two monitors. I can extend my desktop to the second monitor just fine. But when I come back from a meeting, and my screen saver has been on, my desktop is no longer extended. Both monitors show the display for monitor 1. The setting is still correct under Display settings and I can fix the issue by changing Monitor 2 to be the main monitor and...

When I use my Vista computer, files are being erased from my jumpdrive as if they never existed. What's up with that? How do I fix it?

So we just moved our computer across the room and now the screen resolution setting we had it at (1440 x 900) doesnt appear on the little toggle bar. It just goes from 1360 x 768 to 1600 x 1200. I have no idea what to do, so if anyone has any suggestions that would be wonderful.

I recently rebuilt most of my computer and upgraded to windows Vista and now my computer won't detect my USB flash drives. I know the USB ports are working because my mouse is USB and it works fine. I've tried uninstalling the USB drivers and letting them reinstall but that didn't work at all. What else should i be trying? --
