I can not get my Ipaq with Windows Mobile 5 to be recognized in Windows Vista Home Premium. I have tried reinstalling WMDC twice and restarting.

Also, I do NOT have any virus programs running on my computer.

I have a recurring problem with USB flash drives and my SD card slot in Vista. When I click "safely remove hardware" I get a "problem removing device" notification along with a message to shut down any programs that might be using the device.

Problems with sleep by BuzzLightyear
To make Windows go to sleep mode correctly I have to disable the option to wake up the system with the keyboard, otherwise it goes to sleep mode but suddenly restarts. Also, after restoring from sleep mode, network connectivity doesn't work and using Network diagnosis I have to restore LAN settings

Audio Drivers, Vista SP1 32 bit by BWeber
Hi all, I'm having a problem with the audio drivers on my custom built machine. Until about 3 days ago, I was using the motherboard's onboard audio. Then I tried to install a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card. This failed and none of the drivers I tried worked. So I thought to revert to the onboard sound. Well, now that's broken too. The first audio driver I installed when I first...

RC1: No bluetooth item in Control Panel. by BWN
As with the Beta 2, I can't get bluetooth to setup devices. The hardware is detected and installed, but I am supposed to add bt-connected devices through the control panel, however no bluetooth configuration settings present. Has anyone had any luck? Dual-boot XP-SP2 & Vista-RC1 on an Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi.

volume control by bwood
I just bought a new keyboard and I can't get the volume control or mute to work on it. It's a Logitech that said on the box it was Vista compatible. When I open the volume mixer window it shows that it recognizes the keyboard but nothing happens when I try to adjust the volume with the keyboard.

I'm having a problem with my display shutting off when I boot Vista. The monitor turns on when I turn on my computer. It stays on through the progress bar. But once that part is done the monitor will show a "No Signal" message and fall asleep. Now, this only happens in certain circumstances!
