HID Non-User Input Data Filter by LarryC
Ever since installing HID Non-User Input Data Filter "Optional Update" It has been conflicting with my ATI Catalyst Drivers for the x1950xtx dual videos and have been randomly getting the "ole" blue screen during boot of Vista x64. Of course when I do manage to boot Vista it points to the updated ATI drivers as the offending cause and has been driving me nuts until I had to reinstall Vista...

Installing Apache by Gotejjeken
I recently downloaded Apache 2.2 and was able to get it installed and running. The problem is, to get Apache to install I had to disable IIS as it was taking up port 80. Now, when I browse to http://localhost, I get a 'not found' error, presumably because IIS is turned off. The only way I can see the 'it works!' test message from Apache is by browsing to http://127.0.0.1. Is there some way to...

I have a replacement unit on its way, but is there any way to transfer the drive with the Vista install to the new computer and get a working system? My Vista is a full retail copy. I'm now working on XP from my backup machine, an old Dell Optiplex GX200, with a 733 MHZ P3 that's not capable of running Vista. I could...

Temporary Profile by Rod
Hi I run a Vista Home Premium PC. It is up to date as far as patches/updates go. It ran like a dream until a few days ago, when for some reason, on logging in (Using my only User account - Rod - and my usual Password) it "successfully" logged me onto my PC using a Tempoary Profile only. It runs through the whole "Preparing your Desktop" routine. Now, I have done some research and all I can...

Vista SP2 Offer from Windows Update by Paul Calcagno
I've just been offered Windows SP2 via my Windows Update manager. My history on this computer is excellent with regards to updates so I'm inclined to have this update installed. Everything regarding updates is current except for IE-8. My one reservation is that I've declined to update IE-8 in the recent past as I'm a Firefox user and I've seen all the traffic about how cloggy IE has been...
