I'm using a Compaq-Presario SR5130NX desktop computer with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. It came with a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H653L SCSI CdRom Device (CD-ROM drive).

Well, now it seems that I have a much worse issue.

I get the following status in devmgmt: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I run Vista RC2, an upgrade made from RC1.

Greetings, recently went through the Vista upgrade and now the audio is not working on the laptop. Tried updated drivers from HP, and HP tech support, no luck.

Music also...
