I just got my new PC 2 days ago. I get to know that the Windows Vista Home Premium that I purchased is a 32 bit edition. I have a question that is what is the maximum ram can my Win vista support at 32bit. I heard from my colleague that its max at 2 GB ram, it that true?

I have 2 Lacie DVD/CD USB drives attached to my computer. One is about 3 years old and the other is 2 years old, the newer is a DVD DL and CD writer. They both run fine in XP, but in Vista the newer DVD DL drive does not like recorded DVDs. It just continually spins and I finally have to eject the disc. It will read manufactured DVDs and recordable CDs. The older drive runs fine. This makes...

I've noticed that when I insert a memory stick, the drive info says its either RAW format or there's no format diplayed. The drive is usable and reads and writes ok. If I run ChkDsk on it the drive info then says it's FAT32, which would be correct. Is this a common fault with USB memeory sticks or a Vista issue? I'm using Windows Vista RC1.

I think I have been told what causes this problem already, but I just need clarity and one of you experts will clear this up in no time. Every time I turn on my laptop PC, in the "Start Menu", it seems that all of the Icons have changed positions or some new icons have taken the place of previous Icons that were there the previous time I used the laptop. It seems like whatever program or...

I put in Happauge tuner for xp but media says no card

I upgraded from Vista to W7 when it first came out. I have just recently realized that it apparently cut off the mic and I cannot record anything. I can still hear cd's.etc. I did not discover this until I tried to send a video message to my son who just got deployed to Iraq. Dell customer support has been useless thus far. Thanks for any suggestions as to how to fix this problem.

6 days ago I had a Compaq notebook (6720s) that was working OK, although USB functionality was pretty random. Then I tried to install Vista SP1 as offered by Windows Update. The install failed. 2 different System Restore points also failed.... Terrific. Now the system no longer shows DVD drive in My Computer or Computer Management, but it shows in Device Manager as not working, no drivers.

Is this or is this not supported in Vista? Anyone know? It worked fine in XP, and it shows up in Device Manager, but I can't get a drive letter!! Thanks in advance Andy

Hey, I looked on here but couldn't find a definite answer about my specific problem. I just hooked my usb external hard drive up to my new laptop, but whenever i try to access it, i get a message saying i must format the disk before i can use it. Surely there must be a way around this? I don't really have a way to format it since all of my documents are on there. Any help would be...

Is it possible to install Vista 64 bit (SP1) onto a SSD and make this bootable? As in, a PC that only has a SSD in it and no hard disks at all. Motherboard: Asus P6T Delux CPU: i7 940 SSD: OCZ Core V2, 120GB, SATA II, 2.5� If it is possible, is there anything special that has to be done first or is the SSD seen as a normal HD by Vista 64 bit (SP1)?

Windows update overwrites the existing working NVIDIA SATA driver with a broken one. Causes the system to lock up completely after loading the desktop, immediately after logging in. Have turned automatic updates off to prevent it from happening. Is there any way to block just this update in future? NVIDIA Corporation driver update for NVIDIA nForce 590/570/550 Serial ATA...

I have an Acer laptop running Vista Ultimate that contains 2 identical hard drives. When the laptop was purchased, the first drive was partitioned into C: and D:, and the second was configured as a RAID drive (Raid 0)?, so in Windows I could 'see' C: and D: only. My problem is that the RAID array has stopped working, and I now have 3 drives, C:, D: and E: visible when I click on Computer....

I have a 1280x1024 monitor. Every time I start Windows Vista, my screen resolution automatically resets itself to 640x480. I have no idea why, but I have to change it back every time i start Windows. I've looked around, but I seem to be the only one I know of who has this problem. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

Hi All, I have a bit of trouble with the above. I am running the latest software (Ver 1.16 I think) and all was well with XP until I upgraded to Vista. I installed the software and now when trying to access the menus to set up the files to read from all I get is the hourglass permanently cycling. Would anyone either know if this is fixable on linktheater or if there is any other program that...
