If I perform a cleam install of Vista 5744 on Shuttle xPC SS21T with: AMD X2 4200 & 2gb & 160gb SATA & ATI Radeeon X1050. Connect3D ATI Radeeon X1050 is 256mb GDDR, PCI/E and "Certified for Windows Vista". Vista initially finds an X550 and loads MS WDDM Drivers. 'Update Drivers' loads MS WDDM drivers for X1050. Screen Performance is abominable, around 5 secs between cursor click and display...

Has anyone seen upgraded chipset drivers for the nforce3? Currently have the Vista included drivers installed. I'm running the MSDN 64bit version of Home Premium on a Giga-Byte K8NS 939 Ultra MB with an AMX X2 4600+. Under the graphics card in Device manager, I am getting the infamous Error 43 (Your device reported a problem and Windows has disabled it) with both an ATI X800XT and an nVidia...

I'm looking to build a custom machine to work as a standalone media center using my television running on Windows Vista. The problem is that for the life of me, I can't find a list of compatible TV Tuners for Vista. I'd like to use Windows Media Center, but since I'm on a budget, I wanted to buy used. I'm thinking about buying an ATI All-in-Wonder card, but can anyone tell me just how old...

I have an Nvidia Geforce 6600GT with SVideo and Component OUT. It was working fine in WIN XP. The 97.46 WHQL Nvidia drivers don't recognize any TV OUT functions in the nvidia control panel. Neither do the non-WHQL 100.59 drivers.

I know after running the Vista advisor that the old Sonic Software DLA was not supported by Vista, so uninstalled all "Known" versions of it before upgrading from XP SPF3 to Vista Ultimate SPF1, but somehow and Sonic/Roxio support has been of no help, I still have a component of DLA that is being Blocked every Logon. This is an anoyance and a nuisance , not like the BSOD issues, but have...

Is anybody else have an issue where your monitor goes blank randomly, and then your computer stops responding? It's completly random, wont do it for a couple weeks, but then does it for a couple days. Running all windows updates and latest ati catalyst drivers with Vista 32-Bit Home Premium.

Has anyone been successful on getting Vista x64 to recognize an eSATA drive? I've tried motherboard connections and 3rd party hardware, and nothing is ever recognized. Even tried a supposed hotfix from MS (sorry no link) without luck. Nothing shows up in the management area, and all other SATA drives operate fine and BIOS is set to AHCI SATA. Any suggestions??

Hi, Some people on the XP Discussion told me that Widows Vista only really runs well if it has 2Gb RAM. I know that the Upgrade advisor states a lot less, and that the Minimum system requirements is less also. Is this 2Gb need/want true, in what cases, and why? Is it just that Vista runs much smoother on 2 GB RAM? Thank you.

Hi. My Toshiba Satellite A350D laptop came with Windows Vista 64-bit and had a scrolling option on the touchpad. It was really convenient. There was an annoying taskbar icon I believe I removed. The thing is, I think I removed an advanced option menu from my laptop by removing the icon I did. Which probably had the scrolling option in it. I go into control panel and the mouse section. I can...

I'm going to be sitting on an airplane for too many hours. I'd like to watch some videos on the laptop and am wondering the best way to maximize battery life. Which uses the least power? - Playing the DVD in the DVD drive - Ripping the DVD to the hard drive and playing it from there (if I have enough free disk space) - Ripping the DVD to an external hard drive and playing it from there -...

I have a customer that has requested a recommendation for network attached storage for their small office (four computers). I've tried Google but have come up with so many conflicting reviews that it's frustrating. Some say a box is fast, other say the same one is a dog. I'm hoping for some help. They tried a Western Digital My Book World Edition 1TB NAS. It worked fine until they upgraded...

I'm thinking of adding a NAS device to my home network and would love any recommendations. I'm looking for something around 1TB with RAID 1 or 5 that works with 64-bit Vista and Win XP. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Brian

Can you recommend a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive for my home network? I need ... - 1 or 2 TB - RAID 0 or 1 (5 would be nice) - Ethernet 10/100/1000 - Supports clients running Win XP Pro, Vista Home Premium x64, Vista Enterprise x32 - Under $500 (the more under the better) - Good data transfer rate

I have a home network workgroup consisting of three PCs running Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit, 1 PC running Vista Enterprise 32-bit, and one running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I also have a Western Digital MyBook World Edition NAS drive on the network. Mionet is installed on one of the XP PCs. Before I added the Vista 64 PC, the WD drive worked just fine and was very stable. Once I added the...

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running Vista Home Premium x64 SP2. It has an internal card reader, a TEAC CA-200, that connects internally to the front USB connector on the motherboard. When the reader works, it shows up at four drive letters in Windows Explorer. The problem is that it doesn't work. When I first boot the PC the drives show up. After plugging in and ejecting a memory card a few...

Hi. I recently used a program called One Click Privacy to clean my system and it wiped my Quick Launch folder. I have managed to create a new folder and add a few items, however, I can't find the Windows Aero item to add a shortcut to the quick launch folder. Also, I can't figure out how to add the Desktop shortcut to the folder (i.e. the 'Show The Desktop' option from the task bar). Any...
