Does this sound like a Graphics card hardware error? by chand
Hello everyone, I just want to know if a graphics card is not working, would it prevent me logging into vista? like there isn't enough graphics to boot vista? is this possible? Also would a malfunctioning graphics card cause weird symbols in the BIOS, like weird vertical lines, dollar signs replacing spaces, E's replacing F's, A's replacing N's etc.? Also could a power surge possibly damage the...

Odd behaviour. IOGear PS2 KVM 2-port built in cables. USB MS optical wheel mouse using its included USB-PS2 adapter. With Vista x32 Business with SP1, I have no issues. The setup works as expected. But with Vista x64 Ultimate with SP1, the mouse via the KVM mouse only works if I have a 2nd USB mouse plugged directly into the PC while Vista boots up. After it's booted, I can unplug the extra...

Bluetooth with no passkey ??? by John1234
Hello, There is a problem with using the Microsoft stacks for setting up a Bluetooth connection to a device that does not require any passkey. The device use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile). When you select the "no passkey" during the discovery process, everything looks fine but the Microsoft driver comes back and still requires a passkey after the discovery.
