Hi - I had XP Pro installed for a long time and all devices worked perfectly up until yesterday when I installed a retail version of Vista Ultimate. I have experimented with all the Beta versions in the past and while the Creative drivers were 'iffy' at best, they did at least work. However, after doing a fresh installation yesterday, my Audigy card isn't even DETECTED. I didn't even...

I did a fresh install of Ultimate and am running it on a Sony Vaio. Sont used some custm icons on My Computer and I went on an unsuccesful hunt to locate any images or icons for the Sony card reader. I see that Ultimate will allow the user to assign icons for the different devices - if I couldonly locate the icons. Any ideas ? TIA.

Installed a Canon FB620U in Vista Ultimate and it scnas into Office scan just fine. Vista FAx & Scan does not see the scanner. Any ideas appreciated.

I use a Sony desktop Pentium D now 3.5 years old. I really like it as its very very quiet. Recently, during the prep of a new hard drive that requires a lot of cold starts using the on / off switch, an issue came up. After hitting the switch the machine powers up but doesn't get to the POST beep. It may take 4 / 5 attempts before I get a beep. Other than that the machine is completely...

I am running Ultimate on a Pentium D w/2meg and Ready Boost with a Seagate 7200 16 MB Cache on an Intel ICH7R/DH SATA Raid controller. I'm only using one disk and the original with the machine was a 150 type 1. I just updated the software for the controller to 8.6. I'm about to replace the hard drive with a WD 7200 with 32MB cache and wanted to ask the group for some advice. I am going...

I'm considering getting a new HDD with 32MB cache and installing Vista 64. The machine is a Pentium D running 2GB Memory with an Intel 945G chipset. I also use ReadyBoost quite successfully. I'll be installing some 32bit software afterwards. Appreciate all help and thoughts and cautions ?

I have a PNY USB stick configured for ReadyBoost. Runs great except is usually needs to be re-installed at every boot and restart. I've had this happen with two different sticks of the same brand. Anything I'm doing wrong here ? Why aren't these sticks detected at reboot ?

Has anyone had any luck using a Memory Stick ( 2GB and up ) in Vista ReadyBoost ?

Can anyone point me to an SD ( not SDHC ) 4 GB for ReADY bOOST ? My machine has an SD reader, xD reader, CF reader and memory stick....

I did an in place upgrade from XP MCE ( sony version ) to Vista ultimate. TV and sound worked just fine. I decided to do a fresh install of Vista Ultimate and the TV and sound is now dead. Same machine. No combo of Sony drivers seems to get it going. I have the Realtak and SOny driver version numbers but they no longer seem to be available. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

Running a Sony Desktop with on board sound & 5.1 speakers / Vista 32. The only drive that would allow full speaker function is the XP driver from Sony. I have tried 1.78 & 1.79 and they allow marginal functionality along with crackling so I reverted to the XP sony drivers. Allwas well then Pook ! no sound and I cant unistall and start from scratch. I have deleted the HDF audio from...

Can anyone comment on whether the software from a drive mfgr. that writes zeros to the drive is sufficient and secure when transfering the drive ? TIA.

I'm looking for a good and free HDD wipe utility I can run from its own boot CD. I'm donating a HDD and dont want and cant have the data on the drive after it leaves my hands. TIA.

I have a Sony laptop ( 2 years old ). Sont is not supporting it for Vista but through trial and error I have gotten everything to work except the VGA ouput. It runs through the first boot screens bu no joy after that. I have installed all the same or similar drivers from Sony for machines similar and still nothing. Iwas wondering if there was any experiens out there as to how to get this...

I did a fresh install of Home Premium and have lost the use of my Memory Stick reader. The XP driver doesnt seem to help. I went thr ough a similar thing with a desktop and a TV card from Sony and the XP drivers did the trick but in this case no. TIA.

Running a SONY VAIO Pentium D with Ultimate SP1 and every now and then when I do a restart or a hard reboot the machine will sit there. All the drives run but no joy and no beep.. Then I turn it off and it may start or it may not. This machine is getting near three years old and is on 18+ hours a day. Everything else is fine and there are no other issues with it. I am thinking it may be...
