USB flash drive driver by Scott
I am using Vista Home Premium and use USB flash drive quite often. From time to time, when I insert the drive, the system asks for driver. As far as I have learnt, from Windows 2000 onwards, USB flash drive is a standard and does not require any driver. The problematic drives include PQI 2GB one. Can someone explain why it happens and if the issue comes from flash drive or...

Windows Switcher by Scott
I just got vista and i was looking around at all the different new devices. I really like the windows switcher, but somehow it changed the interface from allowing me to see all the different windows to bringing up a little box in the screen with the different icons. Is there a way i can change it back to the full out window switching default or what?

corrupted video driver by scott branam
I have the same problem as many others when my computer comes out of sleep mode. If I try to play any game after sleep mode the screen has all sorts of corruption. The strange thing is if I run 3DMark 06 first, there will be no corruption! Why would that make a difference? Shouldn't that be corrupted too? I have the latest drivers and all my games are up to date.

RealTek drivers by scott branam
I downloaded the latest drivers from RealTek and followed the prompts. It first deletes your current driver then has you restart your computer. But when I do that vista automatically reinstalls the old driver! How do I get vista to either not install the old driver or install the new driver?

Advisory Tool is a Joke!!!! by Scott Micale
Ok so I wanted to install Vista on my home PC so I ran the Advisory tool and it says I should load Home Premium. It scans my system and says my computer will run Vista, but list a few devices that will need to be taken care of. It says I will need to install a CD/DVD burner because my CD rom won't work after the install. Not sure why it is saying that because I have a DVD-Rom in my system now...
