Worked perfect with ME and XP with no external drivers, just plugged it into USB port and it worked. Vista wants drivers and I cannot locate any on the web, Sony site and others thru Google. Seems like a step backward in that VISTA does not support such a simple device. Have home premium on one of my computers and do not think it is worth the money or hassle to install on the other two,...

When trying to fix my problem with the DVD Drive I tried several solutions ending with deleting the upper & lower filters in the registry. I did not proceed when noticing that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} only contained Lower Filters. I only saw Upper Filters in :...

Hello all. Having a little trouble that I hope you can help with. The problem is that Vista bluescreens with an "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" Stop error code 0x0000000A. The problem is definitely something to do with the RAM, though it is not a faulty board. The system boots successfully with three out of the four 1GB RAM boards installed, though inserting any fourth RAM board causes the above...

I haven't seen this problem in any of the other posts. I was able to fix most Vista problems after the upgrade to home premium from XP, but a big one remains: Both of my DVD drives will either make the system unstable and crash, eventually causing me to have to turn the power off to reboot, or go to a blue screen for an immediate crash when I put just about any disc in either drive (including...

I have a Sony Vaio that came with an internal memory stick reader. I don't think I've ever used it, for that matter, I don't know what a memory stick is or looks like, but since upgrading from XP Pro sp2 to Vista Ultimate last week the memory stick "E Drive" no longer shows up and the rest of my drive letters have shifted up by one letter. I seem to remember that the driver was named...

Hi, I have a Sumvision USB2-SATA Drive enclosure, fitted with a Western Digital 400 Gb drive. When I plug it into a laptop running XP, the drivers all install automatically.

Greetings. This has probably been asked before, but I could not find a thread with my specific issue. I have an Seagate External USB/FireWire Hard Drive. XP recognized the FireWire connection just fine, however Vista does not. Device Manager shows the device as being compatible when I plug in the IEEE 1394 interface. No errors. But Disk Management will not see the drive.
