I have a brand new HP 9700 running Vista Home Premium 64. i am having alot of issues finding compatable AV,ASAM, and system tools like reg defrag, reg cleaners. On my old machine i have Sys Mechanic Pro HD Sentinel and others and all seems to only support 32 bit. i have looked at stores and the boxes never specify so i went ahead and purchased Sys Mech Pro 8 and it was not 64 compat. Now its...

I own a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 with a "magnifier" button. When activating the magnifier feature the screen goes blank and it takes several seconds before it comes back up on the screen. This is similar (or the same) as the times Vista will ask you permission to run a program and then starts shortly thereafter. Microsoft says this procedure is "normal" when using Vista (it's...

Is it the disk you see in device manager, or just the eSATA card? I bought a cheap Xpresscard that comes up in device manager as a Silicon Image SiI 3531 SATA Controller. It was Vista PnP and Vista reported in device manager that it was working properly. I'd connect my eSATA drive, and the drive would spin up upon power up, but I wouldn't get a drive letter. The USB port worked fine, so I...

I assisted a Computer Club member setting up his new Acer computer running Window Vista Home Premium. The cabling to the Samsung 35in TV/Monitor is HDMI. All manuals state no other audio cables are necessary. I have been unable to start sound. If I plug standard speakers into the output jacks on the computer, all is well.... Any thoughts?

Just installed Vista onto an Inspiron 6000 (Dell) and there appears to be no sound and no driver to get it going. Any ideas anyone? The sound device in this laptop is 'SigmaTel C-Major Audio' so I understand. Thanks a lot and Happy New Year

Every time i turn on my Compaq Presario F500 laptop alls i get is "Operating System Not Found" I have tried using the Vista Recovery Disc and it comes up with "Windows is loading files" Then i choose the language and everything to install it in and click next then click install now. Then it asks me to insert the product key and after i do that a pop up comes up saying:

Basically my DVD/CD drive will not boot. It says the drivers and are installed and the actual drive is working fine(checked by repairman) So I go into Device Manager and under DVD/CD-ROM drives it has.. FT6053C JRI645X SCSI CdRom Device PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K17 ATA Device and each has a little yellow exclamation mark infront, when clicked on it comes up saying.."Windows cannot load the device...

That about sums it up. It's a brand new HP HDX laptop running Vista32. It's setup with HDMI to our flat-panel TV and we have a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage-Micro usb card so we can use the digital audio passthrough to get the 5-1 dolby sound to the surround sound receiver. It all works as it should, no problem. If we turn it off and back on it's fine. But if we put it in sleep or hibernate...

I have finished creating my Video but now when I try to publish it to a DVD I receive error message 'Error Synchronizing Project' and says 'temporary directory is not accessible'. Please help, EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com

Not sure how long this has been this way but recently noticed that DVD games and movies will play fine on the drive, but whenever a music or game CD is placed in hte tray it acts as if nothing is there and says to "insert CD" when you try to open or explore the drive Any thoughts?

I have CODWAW in one of the drives and nothing in the other drive.... later i decide to change the first drive with CODWAW to nero and the other drive to microsoft office when i go my computer it will still show CODWAW and just dvd drive... also there's no autoplay --

Alright, I have looked at a few of these threads and they all spoke about how their Cursors freak out by flying around the page and pushing buttons. My is slightly related to that. When I am typing, at times where my Cursor is, it'll click there and begin typing. So I am basically typing in a middle of a sentence. I am not sure if it is the touch pad, but it also does when I use my Wacom Bamboo...

Hello, My computer has been crashing for some time, mostly after the startup with a blue screen. Vista then tells me that it's probably related to the ethernet card. I have updated the drivers recently, and I still get the crash. The blue screen event properties are as follows; Fault bucket 0xD1_Rtlh86+b339, type 0 Event Name: BlueScreen Response:

I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with almost no problems, except for one. I dual boot with another operating system, and created a RAID array with a different filesystem (i.e. not NTFS.) It uses the GPT partitioning scheme. Vista does recognize the big RAID drive, but it thinks it is a RAW partition. There is another filesystem on it, and I found out selecting it asks me if I want...

After several hours of fruitless struggles with installation of this device, I believe I have a solution that I can share with those of you who are having similar challenges. First off, take the nice green CD-ROM installation disk you received with the device and set your coffee cup on it - nice coaster! Next, attach your printer to the wireless print server and the print server to your...

I need to buy a used video card that's Vista Aero compatible. Since the MS logo'd page won't even open on my pda due to MS blocking my browser Grrrr!!!, even if I did have internet access at a garage sale or swapmeet, It's useless as tool for this purpose. Is there a Vista hardware compatibility list in text format...or PDF or something I can access offline on my pda? Thanks, mike

In the past I have had no problem capturing HDV video from my Canon HV20 video camera via Firewire using Vista Ultimate. The quality has always been excellent. I just tried capturing some video and the video is coming in much darker than the video that is displayed on the camera. I can play previously captured video and is looks fine on my monitor so it is not a video setting problem. I have...

Does anyone know how i can get drivers for the above sound card Dynex has not repsonded.

case manufacturer did not install a 50 cent speaker so don't hear any beeps on POST. the mobo has a very pretty set of led lights ranging from red - that light up when power is turned on but they all stay lit, no flashing or sequence, then they all go off when the computer posts/boots. so do they have a purpose?
