I'm using two PCI Realtek 8139D cards and neither work. I don't think it's the cards, I've tried both. Vista doesn't seem to detect them. Couldn't find any Vista drivers for that card. Should I get a newer card (they're a few years old)?

I just purchased a new PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. On my old PC running Windows XP, I have a secondary hard drive set-up as a slave drive that I used solely for storage purposes, such as documents and media files. The drive uses NTFS file structure. Should I be able to just take this drive out of my old PC and put it in my new one without losing any data and not have to format...

While trying to uninstall Comodo, I had an error and the computer froze. I shut it off and it wouldn't boot - not even in Safe Mode. So I used ERUNT to fix the Registry from a command prompt. Unfortunately, the latest ERUNT file was corrupted - so I had to go back about a week. The computer then booted, but I found many changes in some of my data and settings. Also, I cannot get the sound to...

Hi, I have a program on CD. I need to boot from it. The clients notebook is one of these tiny things with no CD drive and 2 USB ports. I'm trying to see how to make an ISO of the CD I need to boot from, put it onto the flash drive, and then boot from that. Can anyone help me? How do I burn the ISO onto the flash drive so it will boot INTO the program, as it would if it was on CD?

I've used Vista (home basic) for a while now and there wasn't any serious compatibility issues with the motherboard. I reinstalled it a couple of weeks back, and ever since then, there's been an issue with shutting down the computer. Usually, if I select SHUT DOWN from the start menu, the computer doesn't shut down completely, but enters a sleepish/suspended mode.The red (busy/status) light...

I believe that the software recognizes my controller when I install the software, but not after installation. If it is of any...

I have a new Toshiba Satellite 210. When I use the LCD+CRT extended desktop mode, or just use the CRT monitor (Samsung - SyncMaster 17GLi) I get waves that move down the screen. It makes my display look like a flag. When I only use the CRT - in that mode the waves move faster. The actual display on the screen moves and the display gets darker in areas, giving it a distance effect. This...

I am running Vista Business OS and recently I installed a brand new DVD Writer (SONY DVD RW AW-G170 ATA) and Installed it using Nero Essentials 7. It worked perfectly afterwards. Later I tried a Web upgrade to Nero Essentials 8 but then started the problem where INCD could not be started. Eventually I uninstalled NE8 but am unable to use the DVD after that and I am unable to install the NE7...

I am using a Samsung SCX-4100 MFM device which is connected to my system via a USB port. Although Samsung's application sees the scanner and is able to use it, MS Vista's Fax & Scan application doesn't see this device. When I try to install the scanner using Vista, it comes up as a Xerox Network scanner... which it is not. (doesn't work either). I am using the current Samsung drivers (Vista...
