Several days ago I posted a question concerning the inability of my Microsoft Fingerprint Reader to function. I did not receive answers from anyone in the discussion groups. I spent several hours over several days speaking to a Microsoft tech support supervisor trying to get it to work, to no avail, and the case was closed by Microsoft as having no solution available. This was not...

Folks- I run run Vista Home Premium SP2 on a Dell XPS M1730 with built in microphones(2). I inadvertantly disabled the Sigmatel Hi Def Audio microphones from: CONTROL-PANEL\SOUND\RECORDING\CONFIGURE I expected the microphone array would appear with a CONFIGURE option to enable it...but it no longer appears under RECORDING and I can't figure out

I upgraded from Vista to W7 when it first came out. I have just recently realized that it apparently cut off the mic and I cannot record anything. I can still hear cd's.etc. I did not discover this until I tried to send a video message to my son who just got deployed to Iraq. Dell customer support has been useless thus far. Thanks for any suggestions as to how to fix this problem.

Right now it is completely drained out and it says 0% available plugged in, not charging.

Its a laptop, so I think it's the internal speakers I've disabled

If I press the power button on my laptop to start shutdown, and then close the lid, Vista will ignore the fact that it's shutting down and go to Sleep. Then when I open the lid later, it wakes up and finishes shutting down! Has anybody else noticed this? It would be much better if it just carried on shutting down. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft...

Lets see how many others have this problem. Yesterday I noticed my gaming was slow, and today I get fed up and checked the device manager and lo and behold Vista was using the WDM drivers.

Does anyone know of any Vista compatible drivers for a 5219URF 2+ wireless keyboard? It's an HP OEM keyboard, part number 5187-5998, bundled with some Media Center PCs. If HP has Vista drivers for it they aren't making them easy to find. At present the keyboard functions as a basic 101-102 key keyboard using generic MS keyboard drivers. I'm not using the wireless mouse(battery eater) that...

Hi. Since I installed both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Ultimate Edition on my old test machine (ASUS K8V SE Deluxe, Athlon 64 3200+ , 512 MB of RAM, SATA HDD, etc.), I notice the speeds are identical. I can't see and feel any improvements. I did install the ATI Radeon 9600 AIW drivers to help the video speed, but I just don't see the speed differences. Am I expecting too much or missing...

I have Vista pre-RC1 build 5536. This is the first build I've tried on this computer. I dual-boot into XP, works fine. I have a problem with that the screen never goes into energy-save mode.
