VoIP sound problem by
David Venables
Hi,
I have just installed a Butler 4012 VoIP telephone to run with SKYPE but am
unable to receive any sound through it. The phone seems to be connected to
the SKYPE program properly as I can dial out with it, I just can't hear
anything with it. I did play about with the sound devices and got to the

the usual sounds the...

What does "Adaptive display" power setting do? by
Colin
I have found lots of references to the fact that "Adaptive display" lets
windows dynically adjust the timeout to turn off the display if a user
quickly touches a key or button to get the screen back on just after
timeout. However, that is all quite vague. I have seen others post related
questions on various web sites and never get an answer. Can anyone explain
for all of us:

Hard disk running constantly by
Abi
I have Vista Business installed and have changed various things to have Vista
start and close quicker. It takes approx. 2½ minutes from I start my machine
until Vista is fully loaded. But after that the hard drive is running
constantly, which means it takes a long time to execute e.g. Excel. Can
someone tell me what I can do about that?

Hello there,
I've created a Windows Complete PC Backup of my new laptop. Now a few days
later I want to actualize it, but when click on Back up computer in Backup
and Restore Center a window opens with message - Looking for backup devices
and it stays like that, nothing happens. I can cancel it but I want to
create a backup.
What should I do? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Windows update/system restore points by
rawbery79
I installed a Windows update on Monday--the laptop was running
beautifully before then, not so much now. It randomly freezes up and I
can't apparently uninstall the update.
Also, it's not creating or keeping restore points. I just found out a
registry cleaner is bad, so I won't be doing that again, but how on
earth do I figure out what is causing the problem? :cry:

Before the loading bar would come and go and then the vista symbol
would pop up make the boot noise and i could log in, this all took under
30 seconds.
Now it hangs on a black screen after the loading bar, my...
