I have an A-Tec HD-227-U2 2.5in Hard Drive enclosure with a Fujitsu hard drive in it from a dead laptop. I want to recover files from the drive to my Vista PC. The device was recognised when I plugged the enclosure in (I am using both USB cables supplied with the enclosure, with no jumpers on the Hard Drive) and automatically installed the drivers. The device is shown in Device Manager as...

As the title says... I'm troubleshooting a friends computer and can't seem to get it working. Basically, he's running Vista Home Prem 32bit. He just bought a new Canon MP480 inkjet printer and everytime he plugs it into his laptop he gets the "USB Device Not Recognized". I tested his printer and cable on my laptop (Vista Ultimate 64bit) and it IDs the printer and tries to install just fine. ...

Hey all, for some reason my Synaptics Track Pad wont start with windows. I have to manually go into the program file and double click the .exe file to start the device.

Has anyone managed to get sound working on the LG 70 Express after installing Vista? I have Vista Home premium edition installed and cannot get any on board sound.

I have HP NW8000 laptop running Vista Ultimate. I installed SP1 a few days ago. After the upgrade, the battery is not charging anymore. Right now it is completely drained out and it says 0% available plugged in, not charging. I uninstalled the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery drivers (there were two) from the Device Manager and install them again with scan for hardware...

So finally Windows has a built-in DVD decoder! Sadly, I'm not sure it works... So since installing Ultimate, I haven't been able to watch a DVD. With Media Player or Media Center, the DVD has no sound. In WMP, the screen also goes black for a second or two every ten seconds or so. Very annoying. At least Media Center doesn't have the black screens. But it would be nice to hear the audio....

I had this problem with the Vista beta, but I was sure it'd be fixed in the final release. Perhaps I really just have a bad piece of hardware!!! My keyboard worked perfectly in XP, and I always buy MS keyboards - I love them! MS hardware in general has always pretty good - I miss the sidewinder line. ANYway... the Vista Beta, for some reason, had issues with my keyboard - I had NO "F" keys!...

Anyone have trouble with vista installing canon camera drivers? Specifically i have an a530 camera & unable to download the pictures to the pc. TIA

As the subject line says : Why OH! Why can't I play DVD's in Windows Media Player for Vista anymore?? This is what I have installed as for the Windows Media Player for Vista. Look at ALL the listed under "MPEG/DVD Filters" I have. So why in the hell I can't play simple retail movie DVD's anymore.

Hi, I think I have inadvertanly carried out a keystroke and not realised I've done it. I have made no alterations to anything but suddenly, I have noticed that my screen display is bright and washed out. It's not EVER so bright, but bright enough for me to want it to go away again. So that I can rule that out (or it may be that) can someone tell me how to to a blanket removal of keyboard...
