I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 installed on a WD Raptor 150gb drive currently and I just installed two new SATA 500GB Samsung HDs into my machine and I am unable to even access them. They don't show up on my computer yet they are both listed in device manager as working properly. Any idea on why I can't access the hard drives at all? They seem to be installed and working. I've even...

So, I plug my pocket pc in. Vista recognizes it as being called "pocketpc". When i go into the sync center, i try to set up a new partnership. there are no other currently set up. It sees it as "coda" which is the name I gave it when it sync'd with Vista RC1. Now, though, it only will offer it to be sync'd as a media device, not as a pocket pc. i've restarted, plugged and unplugged, I...

Hi all, I have an external 2TB raid array (Lacie Two Big). It works fine under XP. On Vista I am getting all kinds of errors. From IO errors to access denied errors. This is when I attach it as an eSATA device through a SATA port that I have brought to the outside with a bracket. The XP machine works the same way, exact same machine. if I connect this drive under Vista as a USB drive (its...

I have been using my SD card reader, which is built into my computer, since I purchased it in January. Today, I insert my card, and it doesn't even recognize that it's there. The light comes on as if it is recognizing it, but it does not auto play and under My Computer, it still shows the SD drive, but does not show anything as being read. It has worked perfectly up until today. I've...

I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4254 notebook and I get a Code 10 device cannot start in Vista. It has the drivers installed but will not allow networking. Any help will be appreciated.

I had a HP 1215 photosmart printer that would be autodetected, but wouldn't install because HP doesn't have a driver for it that will work for Vista. I got tired of being alerted to this and chose the option to turn off auto-detect for that device in one of the alert boxes, so I could look for a way to get the printer installed (I later found out that I had to lie to Vista and tell it I had...

Everytime I try to open msn messanger I always get an popup saying that DEP sloses it and I tried adding it to DEP but it wont let me how can I get my msn to work?

OK. Windows Update cant find the driver! Installs all drivers for the USB ports etc, but not the crucial driver for the player itself. Anyone have a link to a driver so I can manually install it? This is wierd as I had it working before, so something has gone missing, or blocking somehow. Help!

Hi. Was wondering...do I need to phone MS to re register my Ultimate, as its gonna be new hardware and I suspect their will be authentication problems? As soon as I boot up with the new hardware will it ask me to phone MS or what? Cheers.

Strange move on Microsoft's part to remove a needed part of Bluetooth. Fortunately I found a website that tells step by step how to restore a2dp capabilities into Vista. http://www.djkaty.com/drupal/vista/bluetootha2dp I wonder if it wasn't someone that got fired? I can only hope. P.S. If this post doesn't go through I will know that MSFT has my IP addy blocked for some strange reason.

It used to work when I left click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray to select the USB hardware I want to remove. After a few times though, it seems to have stopped working. Now when I left click on the icon and select the hardware to remove, it does not come up with the prompt to say that it is safe to remove. I have to double-click on the icon so that the full dialog box...

I'm considering buying a Toshiba A135-S4487. The notebook comes with Vista Home Premium and 256mb of shared/integrated video memory. Is buying a laptop with Vista and shared video memory a bad idea? Is this enough video memory (considering it's "shared")? My reason for asking is that, while I'm not a big gamer, I may want to pick up a strategy game (Civ IV or something like it) and don't...

My standard DVD RW (a Lite On dvdrw lh 20a1h ata, for what it's worth), used to work fine under Vista Ultimate, but recently (2 months since Jul/Aug07) has stopped reading music and data CDs. It still reads DVDs fine. But when I put a music or data CD in the drive, nothing happens, and when I launch File Explorer to look at the drive, it whirs (a little) for a while, then either ejects the...
