I have just installed Vista Ultimate and have the above message. I have looked in the device manager and can't see anything that I recognise as sound devices. I went to the HP site and downloaded the 2 drivers available from the audio section. Not sure which if any, or perhaps both I need but asked for both. I have tried to see about installing these drivers but the process isn't that...

New pc, Vista Home premium + SP1 reload, close to final set-up. There's a user-labelled System Restore point dated 1st June (which I want to keep) plus a series of daily restore points, system generated (presumably during/after installation of new progs or updates) then a further user-labelled restore point, 6th June (user-labelled, i.e. "SP1 loaded"). QUESTION how to delete the "daily restore...

Vista Home premium - Each "back-up" takes 8 Gb, so there's only space for 2 "restore points. (112GB hdd, system allocates 15% to "back-up/restore"). How does one allocate more space (and, could backup/restore be pointed at D: partition, also 112Gb, instead of C: ) ? -- Masterbowl

I'm sorry if this is an obvious question. I have a dual boot system with XP and Vista. Vista was purchased and downloaded via Digital Locker. I need to reinstall Vista fresh, again as part of a dual boot. I still have my Digital Locker info and I can download Vista again, but I don't think I have to as I still have the original download on an external drive. Most of the "how to...

Is there a way I can get the latest Word to look and act like the 2000 version. The reason, of course, is that 2007 is rubbish. I say this because NOTHING is where logic says it should be kept, and when I do finally find what I want (if indeed what I want is still possible, and sometimes it is not), the instructions are scattered all over. I mean, these stupid "ribbons" that don't contain all...

I recently built a new computer and I would like to move my current install of Vista to the new system without reinstalling it. My only problem is that both setups will be using a raid 0 array for the installation and I don't know if I will be able to boot off the old disks with the new hardware. My old PC was a nForce 4 based AMD rig and my new one is a P35 based Intel rig. Is there a way that I...

I have a Gateway MT6707 notebook that came preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium. I upgraded to a new larger hard drive but the start up disc I created doesn't contain the operating system. I know it's the disc because I tried my startup disc from my other computer and it goes through all of the microsoft motions to the point where it says "This disc is not for this computer". How do...

I know I have seen this problem a million times here, but my case seems a little different. I backed up my pictures, music, and videos on 3 disks and restored my computer. Now on the first disk is reading blank and the other two are FBW files. I cannot rename these on the disk. Any help would be much appreciated. -- J...

I have XP installed on a partition on 1 HDD and Vista Ultimate installed on a separate Drive. The thing is I do not have the Windows Boot Manager when I boot up with the OS options. I can only achieve this by changiing the Boot Device in Bios, so I don't think any boot files are damaged. In Startup and Recovery on both systems only one OS is recognised and when I tried Third Party software...

I recently built my computer and installed xp using a pre SP2 cd. I upgraded to vista using an uprgrade version. My problem is that my 320gb hard drive is only showing 127gb as if i were using the pre SP2 version of XP.

My system is Vista Home Premium with all the Windows Update fixes installed. But WU still does not offer SP1 and I can't figure out why. I've looked at the KB article that explains why SP1 isn't offered by WU and none of those reason applies to me. I've verified that all my device drivers are current. I've run SFC. But still no SP1. Does that mean there is some weirdness lurking in my...

Hi... I have windows vista ultimate 64.... its on my Ide Maxtor 200GB... which is very noisy and seems to lock up.... So I went and got a Sata Seagate (my prefered brand)... and downloaded the Disk Wizard software from Seagate to migrate drives.... rather than having to lose all my data and operating system etc. In and Ide to Ide situation, this works fine... you simply swap drives
