I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 21 320gb PATA (ultra ATA) hard drive installed in an external case that I used on my previous OS - XP Professional.

SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio by Aaronb
After loading Vista Ultimate on my machine I keep losing my sound. The sound works when the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio driver is installed, but "automagically" that driver gets removed and the RealTek 97 AUdio driver gets installed. I have to go to Device Manager and remove the driver and then search for new hardware to reinstall the SoundMax drive. Any ideas on how to lock the...

CF card not accessible by [email protected]
I have a 6-in-1 internal USB card reader in my PC running Vista Home Premium SP1. It recognized the CF card the first time (maybe the first few times) I put a CF card in the reader. Now however it does not. All the drives show up on the Computer screen but when I double click on the G drive, it says I need to insert a drive. From the Control Panel, I go to the Computer Manager/Disk Management...

Laptop (Sony Vaio TZ11, Vista Business) works OK using the auto-created "docked" and "un-docked" profiles However, this laptop is now used, as well as moibile, in two different offices, each of which has their own docking stations - each with their own different networks, printers, external displays etc. In XP we would have just created a (copy) hardware profile and then allowed the user...

vista memory upgrade by bandahanson
I have never had a problem like this before. I purchased an hp laptop for my wife with vista installed. After several months she told me how slow it was so I decided to upgrade to two gig. I purchased crucial memory and installed. Since then it has been nothing short of a nightmare. The machine will suddenly stop booting, then it will magically boot again then it will stop. It is not the hard...

DVD/CD Drive not even showing up! by gallegra

Windows FAX & Scan and Canon MP780 by PvdG42
I have an MP780 attached directly to my Vista Ultimate box and I'm trying to get the FAX function going as the FAX software that came with the 780 is not Vista-compatible. I have full scan, copy and print functionality, and it appears that Vista recognizes the 780 FAX functionality because I was able to add "Canon MP780 FAX" as a device in Control Panel-Printers. It shows as ready. OTOH,...

Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor E4700 by Jan Vigne
The new HP that I purchased eleven days ago has failed. Micro Center says it is no longer available. They are offering an Acer with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor in it as a comparable unit. The HP had a dual Pentium chip. Is there a difference between the Core and the Pentium? I was under the impression the Pentium was still -the- Intel chip to buy. What I purchased eleven days ago;...
