I get a message offering to install a PCI device when I reboot or refresh Device Manager in Vista - yet no devices are shown to be Unknown. The Unknown Devices program doesn't seem to work in my copy of Vista - all I get is an empty screen although it says that it's detected 23 devices in the status bar. I've tried to locate the HKLM\Enum\pci key in the registry without success (as...

I just installed Vista Home Premium on a Dell 1800SC which has an on board ATI Radeon 9250 video controller. I know the controller will not support Aero and gaming but that's OK by me. However, when I select "Switch User" I get a BSOD every time. After the system recovers I get a message telling me that the problem was caused by the video driver. I've installed all of the latest...

I am running a fairly old Sound Blaster PCI 128 program in Windows XP Pro. I have to admit that it does have a wonderful WAV file Editor, that makes it worthwhile. So much for that. Here is my problem. As I boot, here comes a notice with title "Creative Mixer", "Can't register tray icon." Creative Wave Studio - works OK Creative MiniDisk Center - works OK Creative Keytar - works OK Creative...

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. Since I got my computer, every time I connect to a wireless network, I can stay connected from anywhere from five minutes to an hour, but after a while, my wireless stops working. I have tried resetting it and disabling and reenabling it, but all those either have no effect or freeze my computer. So far the only solution seems to be...

Does anyone know of a Vista driver for the NEC Superscript 870 printer that will allow it to print 600dpi? The Win 2K driver works uder XP, but Vista will not accept it. I can use the HP LaserJet II driver, but it will not print 600dpi. I suppose I can live with 300dpi since I also have a Dell color laser that works fine with Vista, but it is in another room and I'm lazy.

I have a Dell printer connected to the USB printer port on my US Robotics MaxG Wireless Router. I am trying to connect to it with Vista Home Premium.

When I use that address in the Add Printer...

Sigmatel drivers have a well known solution to monitor the Mic Input through speakers/headphones in Vista, by adding EnableMonitorInput in the registry. It only worked with Sigmatel. I finally found a similar solution for Realtek drivers. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001\AD1981\Disable There are two binary keys in there,...

Hello, Because the Microsoft Trackball Explorer is no longer available, I've bought a Kensington Expert Trackball. Without using a special driver it works fine under Vista, but I would like to reverse the behavior of the wheel/ring. I'm used to the Trackball Explorer, where the page scrolls down when rolling the wheel down. How can I reverse the behavior? Maybe change an entry in the...

I have downloaded all the updates to the drivers and such and I still can't turn up/down my brightness. It's on the lowest brightness right now and I can't turn it up! It's so annoying! Anyone know what to do?
