My PC came with Vista preloaded, and for some reason my dvd drive stopped reading discs. It won't read music CDs, software, games, or burned data or music CDs - it simply gives me a prompt to please insert a disc into drive D:. I tried disabling and reenabling the drive, updating the drivers, nothing. I followed the instructions at: 'The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a...

Ok - some similar posts here but nothing exactly. Thanks in advance to whoever reads and responds! ;-) Running Vista Home Premium on my notebook computer. I have a HP C3100 All-in-One connected to the notebook via USB (only option available on printer to connect device). Whenever I want to be "wireless" with my notebook and disconnect the USB from the notebook and then come back to...

I'm running a single 750GB WD Green hard drive. I'm going to a RAID 1 setup onto 2 750GB WD RE3 HDDs'. I need to clone or ghost to one of the new hard drives. Can I just do a show hidden files, un-hide protected operating system files and do a drag and drop onto the new drive? It would be a shame to have to buy a program for a one time deal.

Hello, I'm gonna purchase a new system! I'm planning to have a 4 gigs of RAM! I've heard many of my friends say that 64 bit utilizes 4 gigs of RAM better than 32 bit. Is is true?? And i am confused between choosing the Intel Core2Duo 3.0 and Intel Core2Quad 2.4! Both are arnd the same price here! I don't plan to overclock my processor!

^ At least you have video. All I get is a very hazy reception with no audio. I'm using Vista Home Premium 32.bit and I was able to succesfuly install the system. -- bchoter

I have a Dell Inspiron 530S and right now have a Dial-Up connection...But I plan on getting AT&T High-Speed internet in a few month, I noticed that my LAN card has no drivers installed for it. I was searching on the internet for some drivers but could find none compatible with Windows Vista Home Basic, I could use any and all advice thanks.

If you use the TerraTec driver it will work! They both use the C-Media chipset. 'TerraTec - Driver & Support - TerraTec' (http://www.terratec.net/en/driver-and-support/driver_21304.html?selectproduct=Aureon%205.1%20PCI) -- jebuescher

Hi Folks, My System config will be listed below. I have ran on board RAID and need advise or pointers to get me going with the Areca-1200 and two WD RE3 750GB hard drives. My humble skill level: I built my vista 64bit system myself from the ground up. A very nice smooth experience. Scary smooth.

I just received this card as a gift. On the package it say compatible with 98se, me, 2000 and xp. I have vista. Has any body tried it with vista? If so, where there any issues with it, including installing and working after installed. I have contacted Belkin a week ago and still haven't herd any thing from them yet. Thanks for the help. -- bassfisher6522

I have Microsoft Mobile Memory 8000 mouse. I installed soft and all worked great, but every time after inserting 1 GB usb pen adapter-balloon was popping up and Vista asked me to install driver for it witch was really irritating. At the bottom of balloon was option "don't ask to install driver for these device" witch I marked and know it is not working at all and I don't see balloon at all.After...

Since I purchased my Dell Inspiron with Vista 32-bit (in August of 2007)... I have connected 5 different MP3 players... the 2 SanDisk ones worked ok (drag and drop in window explorer, no syncing) because I could set them to MSD (?) vs. MTP's. However, the Samsung and 2 Creative (including one the one I purchased 2 weeks ago that advertised it was Vista compatible) don't have the options to...

Is there a way to change the default synchonization folder in Mobile Device Center? I found a reg-key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\id\Services\Synchronization\Briefcase Path. When I change that, everything seems to be changed, but after a short while, the old value is back and -worse- the name of designated is changed. Does anyone have a solution for...

I've just purchased a Dell with 64 bit Vista and I'm having a problem finding an adapter. My handheld Magellen GPS uses a serial connector and of course all the new computer has is usb. I've already purchased and returned one adapter which didn't have Vista drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

I installed itunes a while ago and found out that this was the problem, so followed the steps in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461. My DVD drive then worked fine. I hadnt used it for awhile until a few weeks ago when I tried to watch a DVD. It did not recognise that there was a disk in the drive and kept saying insert disk. Any problem page I go to refers to the article...

I can't play any games on my laptop, because for some reason my drive isn't working. I have Windows Vista but I don't have a disk because it was already on my laptop when I got it. I went to my drives to view what was going on and I get this message: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) I don't know what this is and I have...

Hello everyone, I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit with 2 graphics cards. The second card should be an independent display (not part of the desktop), and shouldn't have a monitor attached. However, I still need to create a device context on it. The problem is that CreateDC fails on the second display with ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_READY. On XP the call to CreateDC succeeds. Why is this and how can this be...
