First off, it's a SONY VAIO VGN-FZ180E and I'm running Vista 32-bit. In the last couple of months, I've started encountering an error - the screen goes blank upon recovery from Sleep Mode. Don't remember exactly when it started, and couldn't use System Recovery to roll back that far anyway. The only workaround I've found is either restarting or closing/re-opening the lid. The "Turn off...

I'm trying to set up my girlfriends new Walkman (NWD-B103) and a number of odd things keep happening.

But when I click the Auto Transfer exe. an error message appears saying "Application was not launched from removable drive" I'm confused....

How do I find out whether my graphics card is connected to a PCI, PCI express, or PCI x16 or whatever?

Is there any utility that will automatically backup an external device, such as a usb flash drive, to the hard drive.... perhaps as an autoplay option? Because that might relieve my constant paranoia that swathes of some gigantic essay I'm working on will be mercilessly obliterated before I remember to save. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to...

Windows XP SP3 System Some time ago, I started having problems with video and audio playback. Odd pauses/glitches in either or both was more or less the problem. Other less definable problems & delay may or may not also relate to this driver. I recently ran across a program (dpclat.exe) that measures DPC latency. The program showed the problem and the results of disabling the Microsoft USB...

Some of the ASUS MBDs use an ASUS unique Realtec chip (ALC1200) The driver is usually available on the ASUS web site if this is the case. The default windows drivers may not include some of the needed Realtec modules such as a sound mixer module. (I recently ran into this on an ASUS M4A 79 Deluxe MBD.
