I get a message offering to install a PCI device when I reboot or refresh Device Manager in Vista - yet no devices are shown to be Unknown. The Unknown Devices program doesn't seem to work in my copy of Vista - all I get is an empty screen although it says that it's detected 23 devices in the status bar. I've tried to locate the HKLM\Enum\pci key in the registry without success (as...

Okay, I got a new computer about 5 moths ago, and it has Windows Vista on it. Tonight, I tried to install an older DOS game on the computer with the authentic copyrighted disc, not a copy. The computer froze, so I did a forced-restart. Now, programs stop responding if ANY disc - blank or otherwise - is in the drive. I've searched for viruses multiple times and have uninstalled and...

I run Vista Ultimate 32bit. My computer keeps nagging me that I have devices for which I don't have drivers. I ran a system health check and it says I have 2 plug and play devices that don't have drivers. The problem is, both of them are called, "#UNKOWN#". I can't get drivers for a device that I don't know what it is. How do I get the drivers? No help on Windows Update. HELP!!!

Hey there! First off, I run Vista Home Premium. I'm having problems unmounting a USB external hard drive - when I try to use "Safely Remove Hardware" (whether through system tray icon or through "Computer"), the system ALWAYS tells me it's still in use, even though I've shut down all programs using it and I'm not writing to it at the time. When I go to "Device Properties" - "Policies", the...

I have a Dell 6400/E1505 laptop with 1.86GHZ core duo processor and when I unplug the power cord it BSOD's and turns off. I can then turn it on on battery, and it runs fine on battery, plug it in and its fine, unplug it again and I get the same BSOD! I've figured out that if I turn off 'Intel Speedstep' in the system BIOS it works but I don't really want to leave it like this because battery...

Dear All, I upgraded my computer from WinXP to Vista Ultimate x86, backed up all of my files in Vista, deleted everything and then installed Vista Ultimate x64. I did this because I was getting many errors after the upgrade, such as "if you delete this folder (or file) it will no longer be shared" whenever I would delete any folder or file. It would then take at least 15 seconds to delete...

Due to intermittent connectivity failure, i would like to uninstall the driver and reinstall it under: Device Manager, Keyboard propertices, Driver tab. In the prior Windows operating systems, this may fix the problem. However with Vista, would i be removing the driver from the O/S or will it still be available in the HCL for reinstallation?

I running a decent/normal spec PC with Vista Ultimate 32bit I went to start up my computer the other morning, and it booted as normal up to the user login window.

Anyone find a solution for an unseen PSP? In Vista (Home Prem) when I plug the PSP into the USB port, it is unrecognized at all. Have tried different ports and cables and 2 PCs running XP, only conclusion is that Vista doesn't see it. Contacted Sony who threw the ball into Microsoft's court, would need a driver from Microsoft, which would make sense if only the OS even saw it in the first...

I need to get a new laptop, but have never liked some of Windows XP's "features" - mainly that it often thinks it knows what I want better than I do! I'd like to find out about some things in Vista before going with that though, in case it's even worse than XP (which it may be if some of what I've heard is true). I currently use Windows 2000, as
