I have a new HP computer with Vista and have the dual core c and d drive. It says my d drive is 100 percent full (recovery drive) How do I fix this? My computer is only a month old and I've been getting window errors already and I can't go back to an earlier date for recovery either. I think I need to do a whole system recovery. It started to dump a lot of stuff into D drive when my...

It was my understanding that for Vista 64-bit to have a chance of running decently, you had to have a dual-core 64-bit processor with 2GB of RAM and a video card with at least 128MB of dedicated RAM. Is this still...

Hello, I have added a new internal HD to my Vista x64 system and "My Computer" is showing it as being 20GB when it should be 500GB. I have done a format and it seems to be fine. I am also running Intel's Matrix Storage for a RAID array but this drive is not part of that cluster but the Intel tool correctly reports the size. How can I fix "My computer" to show the correct size. Thanks, Tim

Ok my system originally started with an IDE HDD but later bought a SATA drive and I reinstalled Vista (business x64) on the SATA drive, but was unable to format the older IDE drive so I just used it for storage and removed its boot option. Today I formated the IDE drive using the open source program called GParted. But when it rebooted the system wouldn't boot saying it recognized a signifcant...

I have a Palm Z22 and the only way to sync it with Vista 64 is through an IR adapter. Are there IR adapters that work on Vista 64? I have a new HP dv7 machine. -- tweedy48

I'm using Vista Home, and whenever I try to put in a memory card it doesn't work. So I checked the device manager to see if the drivers were installed, it said they weren't, so I clicked for it to automatically search for the right driver online, and it didn't find any. Is there anything I can do to fix this?? -- Twigg

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...

Hi, I have a foxconn G31MX-K motherboard and currently using a USB hard drive. When i Shutdown Vista it shutsdown but the PC stays on and even when pressing the power button on the front of the PC for 10 seconds will not shut it down. This doesnt seem to happen when the pc doesnt have a usb hdd connected.

Everything looks fine except the performance when plugged into the mains power. I'd expect it to be throttling during 3d intensive use, with power settings set to performance (plugged in) where juice is not an issue. I can here the fans kicking into high gear but performance and real time monitoring confirms it to stay at 798. Since this is minimum spec for Vista, it would be...
