Greetings, I've lost the last two sets of laptops (Compaq, Dell), thanks to the wireless dongle and USB connectors hinging out the back of the system board (stressing/flexing/cracking the system board when lifting the laptop from a desk). On these, my third replacement set of laptops, I decided to forestall the bad design by using the internal Bluetooth modules. I went out and purchased...

What's the current thinking on this? Is it OK to do this, or is it still advisable to get hardware drivers via the Vendor's website? (Vista Home Premium....) -- Asking a question? Please tell us your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

I've got a new Intel build that is giving me multiple errors, including the occasional BSOD. I want to read the dump file, but can't seem to get it right (and I'm sure it's operator error). I downloaded and installed Windows Debugger program (Vista) and installed it. I downloaded the Symbols files (X64) and installed them in sequence through SP1. I pointed the Symbol path to C:\Windows\Symbols...

Hi, I can no longer send files to the printer. They get stuck in the queue with a status of blank. The printer is shared on a local network. I re-installed the driver. That did not fix the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks -- Frank C

I have a HP G60 Notebook PC with an AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-70 2.00GHZ processor, recently, I have updated my driver from ACPI x86-Based PC, and now it says Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, which is severely slower, so when I went back to press roll back, it's grayed out, and now I'm stuck with a unicore system that doesn't let me do much gaming. I have also tried re-updating my driver...

To all I ask. How much difference does the speed of ram make, ie ddr667 versus ddr800. also value ram versus performance ram ? I currently run Vista Business 64 bit with 4 gigs of value ddr667 and I am considering upgrading to ddr800 (main reason, It is frickin cheap right now!).. I also don't really understand the different timings of the modules and which is best? Intel core2 duo...

I've got 8GB of RAM, 8192 MB, and my system properties shows it at 8.00GB of RAM, which is good, but when I look at task manager and my physical memory is only 7677 MB, so I've lost 515 MB of memory somewhere. I've got vista x64 with two 8800 GTS' with 512MB GDDR3 ram each. Thanks

I've had my machine for about a year and its always Bluescreened on me. At first i thought it was the 2 graphics cards, so I've just removed them. But i'm still getting the problem. So I did a check on my memory (using the Memory Diagnostic Tool) and it tells me that out of the 4 ram sticks 3 of them cannot be written to in certain ranges. My question is can I force Vista to ignore certain...

i've tried cd's and dvd's, and my drive makes the whirring noise, but never recognizes them. i went through the "device manager," and it said that my driver was already the best one and didn't need to be updated, and that the device is operating properly. I have a "TSST corp CD/DVDW TS-L632M ATA Device." What can I do?

Vista 64 Ultimate, with all OS and driver updates and a Plextor PX760A DVD/CD drive. No issues apparent in device driver.
