Hello everyone, I imagine that the computer security field is a source of constant anxiety because if a hacker succeeds in accessing company files, you are held responsible and can loose your job. Is this true ? How do you deal with this ? Thanks,

I have a new pc w/ vista, 2 sata hard drives. Everything was fine, then a week later the slave drive disappeared. The BIOS recognizes the drive, but Vista doesn't. I've seen enough threads on here w/ no resolution. System restore is not an answer. Microsoft - Fix the problem.

I just purchased a Segate 1.5TB sata drive (ST31500341AS) from Newegg for a great price of $129.00 w/free shipping. The problem is that Vista64 Home Premium does not show the drive in the Disk Management utility. I have several 1TB drives from Seagate (ST31000340AS) which work fine. I’ve connected the new drive to a Sata cable which worked OK with a 300G drive so the port is enabled in the BIOS....

Hi - Just got a new PC with Vista and am having trouble with wireless. Although connection to the net is fine via the ethernet, once I disconnect the lead, it's incredibly slow ( dial up speed) on wireless ( netgear wg111v2). Worked fine on old PC with XP. On the connections, I see that I'm connected to wireless (which is good) but the moment I access AOL, a connection under dial up / VPN...

Hello - I purchased a HP C7180 AIO printer with my new Vista laptop about 1 year ago. It is connected wirelessly. Initially (for a couple of weeks) the AIO did not work in scan to printer mode, giving a "cannot find printer" message on the AIO console . I then reset the AIO and until October 2008 it "talked" to Vista. Output functions are fine, fax / photocopy work locally. In Nov-Dec there were...

Please help me. I bought a brand new WD My Book Home Edition 500GB external hard drive yesterday. Vista will not recongize it as a drive on the computer. The computer sees that it is connected (in device manager and the "ding-dong" you hear when you add a new device). I hooked it up with the Firewire and the USB, with the same result. The drive is supposedly Vista compatible. I...

On an older computer (running XP), I had a previous version of Intellitype (with the same keyboard I presently have), and the "Mute" hotkey did what it was supposed to do: Mute or unmute sound.

Hi, I have a problem trying to get a SATA-II drive working using AHCI under Vista. It's Vista 32-bit Ultimate. The problem, I think, relates to the AHCI Controller driver and the motherboard. The board is an Intel DG965RY (which is ICH8) I have tried a clean install using the "Load Driver" method but it

I've got a notebook with a second monitor also attached. My notebook Monitor (#1) is on the right and the Second (#2) on the left. So I go into display settings and change it from #1-#2 to #2-#1 and all is fine for awhile. But every five to ten reboots Vista changes the setting back to #1-#2, which is annoying. Frequently this occurs after a software update of some sort - no pattern on...

Hi guys, I have an Intel RAID array on my PC with 3 750Gb physical drives. I have checked all the connections in the box and all seems well. The error I receive is that the RAID array is degraded ("missing hard drive" error) on port 1. Ports 0 and 2 are fine representing the other 2 drives. This happened once before and apparently the cause was iTunes mpeg files play havoc with RAID arrays...
