This is part of my first impressions of Vista--I have an evaluation copy of Vista Ultimate(32 bit, Build 5840) obtained from an MS launch event in Los Angeles. First, I have an Asus A8N-E mobo, supporting AMD 939 socket CPUS, and with BIOS 1080. But under Vista, my SATA HD--Western Digital WD1600JS--is not recoginized as an SATA device but an ATA device. In fact, NO SATA channels are...

This question does NOT have anything to do with Vista. Because I cannot find a good place to ask this question, I am trying it here. The question is as the subject line: how to care for a DSL modem? Should I turn it off after I am done with an internet session--or at least during the night when I am sleeping, or should I leave it on all the time? I live in Los Angeles and am using the ATT...

Every time I put in a CD the computer doesn't recognize that it's in there. What's wrong with it and is there anything I can do to fix it?

I need some advice on how to fix the sound on my computer. I recently cleared some space on my computer by deleting programs I didn't use, but nothing to do with the sound. Now I lost sound and when I try to play music or a DVD the video will play but no sound. The message says a sound device isn't installed or is being used by another program comes up. I have tried all of the...

I went to System to rate my vista experience and I see that I cannot rate it because it says... Processor: Not Available Memory (RAM): Not Available However, in Windows Start Center (whatever its called when the system first boots up) It shows everything correct! Someone help?

I've bought myself a Seagate 320GB External HDD (USB 2.0 - 8MB cache if relevent) which i've plugged into my computer. It's supposed to just plug and go, however the machine is throwing up a window saying "WINDOWS NEEDS TO INSTALL DRIVER SOFTWARE FOR YOUR SEAGATE EXTERNAL DRIVE". Of course, the drive didn't come supplied with a CD as Seagate said it should plug and play. Eventually it...

When I press add new cartridge ie black ,everything is ok but when I go to allign it, the program states...

Hi. I recently used a program called One Click Privacy to clean my system and it wiped my Quick Launch folder. I have managed to create a new folder and add a few items, however, I can't find the Windows Aero item to add a shortcut to the quick launch folder. Also, I can't figure out how to add the Desktop shortcut to the folder (i.e. the 'Show The Desktop' option from the task bar). Any...

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running Vista Home Premium x64 SP2. It has an internal card reader, a TEAC CA-200, that connects internally to the front USB connector on the motherboard. When the reader works, it shows up at four drive letters in Windows Explorer. The problem is that it doesn't work. When I first boot the PC the drives show up. After plugging in and ejecting a memory card a few...

I have a home network workgroup consisting of three PCs running Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit, 1 PC running Vista Enterprise 32-bit, and one running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I also have a Western Digital MyBook World Edition NAS drive on the network. Mionet is installed on one of the XP PCs. Before I added the Vista 64 PC, the WD drive worked just fine and was very stable. Once I added the...

Can you recommend a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive for my home network? I need ... - 1 or 2 TB - RAID 0 or 1 (5 would be nice) - Ethernet 10/100/1000 - Supports clients running Win XP Pro, Vista Home Premium x64, Vista Enterprise x32 - Under $500 (the more under the better) - Good data transfer rate

I'm thinking of adding a NAS device to my home network and would love any recommendations. I'm looking for something around 1TB with RAID 1 or 5 that works with 64-bit Vista and Win XP. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Brian

I have a customer that has requested a recommendation for network attached storage for their small office (four computers). I've tried Google but have come up with so many conflicting reviews that it's frustrating. Some say a box is fast, other say the same one is a dog. I'm hoping for some help. They tried a Western Digital My Book World Edition 1TB NAS. It worked fine until they upgraded...

I'm going to be sitting on an airplane for too many hours. I'd like to watch some videos on the laptop and am wondering the best way to maximize battery life. Which uses the least power? - Playing the DVD in the DVD drive - Ripping the DVD to the hard drive and playing it from there (if I have enough free disk space) - Ripping the DVD to an external hard drive and playing it from there -...

Hi. My Toshiba Satellite A350D laptop came with Windows Vista 64-bit and had a scrolling option on the touchpad. It was really convenient. There was an annoying taskbar icon I believe I removed. The thing is, I think I removed an advanced option menu from my laptop by removing the icon I did. Which probably had the scrolling option in it. I go into control panel and the mouse section. I can...
