Hello all, Since I got my PC upgraded from Windows 2000 to Vista Enterprise, I have had a problem with the Windows Logo key occasionally become a "sticky key". I can't put a finger on any sequence that causes the problem, but I finally found out that I can get the normal keys back by pressing one time at the logo key.

Hello all: I had 4 2GB sticks of 667 Mhz RAM left over from upgrading a couple of pcs to 800 Mhz RAM so I pulled out the 3 GB 800 Mhz RAM from my Vista Ultimate x64 PC and put in the 8 GBs of 667 Mhz RAM. It seems to work ok after a couple of re-boots but.......it is quite a bit slower to boot up. With 3 GBs of 800 Mhz it was taking about 90 seconds to 2 mins. With 8 GBs of 667 Mhz it...

Hi all, new to the forums :) I have been fighting with my PCI IDE Raid card. I have it set up as RAID, I have been through F3 and set up which disk is the primary and secondary. In Vista I can see both drives in explorer and disk manager. However... I'm not sure that RAID is working, I have set it up as mirroring, so I would expect both disks to have the same data on.
