Hi Everybody, so I'll go straight to the point lol, I have sound problems with my laptop, the sound card is a realtek high definition audio and I run vista 32 bit.
I've never had this kind of problem with sound before everything worked fine (for more than a year), the drivers are installed and windows says everything is good (though I don't have any sound) but all the sound realted applications didn't detect an audio device.
I tried to re-install drivers, update them.... not.... read more

When I installed a network card, I had trouble with it, resulting in meswitching it around PCI slots to make it work.
The end result is that there are 4 copies of the same driver (Ethernet Card#2 - Packet Scheduler Miniport), but when I right-click one and chooseuninstall, I get This device may be required for the computer to bootmessage, and so I cannot uninstall it. Is there anyway to bypass this, asit is slowing my computer up when starting.
ThanksGraeme

I am hoping to stop kazaa from being used on my network.

I have purchased 2 new 2003 servers that I want to be my new Domain Controllers. I have about 15 users/computers currently on an NT 4.0 domain PDC. I also have a couple member servers on the network.

What happens is, the server will be running fine, but when someone goes to look at the machine, the desktop is frozen, you can't do anything on the local server, except for sometimes move the mouse around, but everything remotely works.

I have Vista 5728 on drive 1 - I have XP Home on drive 0 - use VistaBootPro to dual boot. This is my 1st experience at this.
My stupid questions of the day are - while I am booted to Vista, as I am now, do the programs in XP continue operate as if I was booted to XP? EX: Does AVG Free continue to do scheduled scans and updates? OR: Do I have to be booted to a drive to have that drive's programs ''do their thing''? OR: Does it depend on the program? Please stay tuned for mo.... read more

If a site has a search field, here's what happens: If I type my intended search at normal speed, I see thatmany of the characters I have entered do not actuallyappear.
I see the instructions (for example: Search for, or EnterSearch) appearing, then disappearing, every half second orso. Those hover near the entry field itself.
It seems that while Search for is visible, nothing can beente.... read more

I have a disk image that I made of my system back in August (before theDaylight Savings Time switch at the end of October).... read more

On Windows Vista Home Basic Upgrade there is an Old version item Number: 66G-00003. And then they have come out with a New version: 66G-00020. I ordered the new version and received the Old version, I am wondering what I missed by not getting 66G-00020. I have looked and can not find any information regarding the difference.
Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Brian W.

I am so so tired of trying to get any version of Linux working under VPC 2007 running Vista.
This is more for you Linux lovers.
Why, why, why, when youve know now for numerous versions that VPC does not do 24 bit color depth you continue to insist on that being the default during detection hence making actually even checking it out nothing but a frustrating garbled screen that seems unavoidable.
Why, why, why??? Must be at least the 7th time Ive tried and just going to again give up in frus.... read more

I'm trying to create a 3.5 floppy boot disk for WinXP Pro. I've followed the directions in the KB article that addresses this issue.
I've copied the NTLDR file from my C:/ drive and when I boot from it, I get the error message: UNABLE TO FIND NTLDR Then I tried copying NTLDR from the WinXP install disc. Same result.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Has anyone had a problem installing avg antivirus free version on Vista RTM? I looked for all types of fixes and work arounds but can't seem to get it to install! There seems to be a problem with the avg service starting during the installation. MS recommends a msv7.dll fix but that didn't work either. Grisoft's site says that it is compatible with Windows Vista. Go figure! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
