The software with the bluetooth dongle is a pain, over-elaborate and it seems impossible to stop it starting upon startup, even after having removed it within Defender. I've tried uninstalling the BlueSoleil software but it seems the Windows drivers for bluetooth aren't...

Many video card with with two outputs have a bad habbit of disabling one of the output if the attached monitor is off during boot. I use one monitor most of the time and want to use two occasionally. To have to turn on both during boot is a pain. In win XP, this problem can sometimes be overcome by choosing generic SVGA instead of PnP monitor. Now, I'm running vista and this trick doesn't...

OK, this is a recurring problem, and it's been driving me nuts for quite a while. I'll be using my LifeCam VX-6000 to chat with someone, and the thing will just disconnect. The green light turns off, and the hardware disconnect sound happens. It will not work again until I physically unplug it from the USB 2 port and plug it back in. This mostly tends to occur when there's a lot of motion in...
