USB Listed In System Tray

Nov 10, 2009

I have never seen this before. Is it correct or is there something wrong? I bought a new computer with Vista Home Premium. The USB ports are showing on the bottom Task Bar (the way it usually shows a Flash Drive when plugged in), with a little computer and a green check. I have not seen this before for USB drives not in use. If you right click it you get the message "Safely Remove Hardware" and if you go further it is called USB Mass Storage Data at Port_#0005.Hub_#0008. This relates to my Drives G,H,I,J. Can someone clarify this?

English Is Not Listed As A European Language, Why Not?

Mar 23, 2008

There are also various spelling mistakes (e.g. "center" for centre, "color" for colour) in the user interfaces. This appears to be a fault also in MS Office, which claims to take its UI language from the Windows locale but in the case of English this doesn't work. The interface language appears to be American.

Stuck In Startup Repair Without OS Listed

Aug 7, 2009

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and it has been running great until this morning when I tried to turn on my computer. It took forever just to get me to a random blue screen where it then stalled and about ten minutes later a box came up and asked me which language I would like to use. Since Wookie was not listed I settled for English. Then another few minutes went by until my computer painfully popped up another box asking which driver I would like to select so that I could run Startup Repair.

However, there aren't any drivers listed! What do I do from here? I have a tendency to push the big button that says launch so I just clicked next without selecting any drivers (mostly because there weren't any to choose from). It then began Startup Repair, hooray! But hours went by and finnaly I came home from work and it was finally done repairing. It said it repaired everything and all I needed to do was restart and everything would be just fine and dandy. But was it? Well, that's where you fit in oh great computer gods. Will you answer my prayers? What should I do? Possibly a mouse sacrafice? A computer mouse that is...

Unable To See Device Listed In Window Explorer

Jun 7, 2008

I am connecting an external hard drive (Acomdata 250G drive - pretty standard) via USB to my HP laptop running Vista. I am able to see the device listed under Disk Drives in the Device Manager. Drilling into Properties, I see that the device is running properly and, having re-loaded the device drivers, I have the most recent drivers. The issue: I am unable to see the device listed in Window Explorer, and thus I can't drill into the folders to get at the content.

Compatibility

Apr 3, 2008

I've been using MS Windows since it's initial release years ago. Hard as it
may be to believe, there was a time when anything that ran on an earlier
version of Windows was guaranteed to run on the latest version. It's gotten
progressively worse over the years and now we have Vista, where anything
that ran on an earlier version is virtually guaranteed to go haywire.

If there's been some sort of improvement here, I fail to see it.

Xp Backward Compatibility

Mar 23, 2008

I recently purchased a new, loaded, Dell XPS laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate. As a systems developer and consultant, I frequently set my laptop up on a customer's network, expecting to browse those networks, and map network shares. With Windows Vista, I appears this utility has been taken away.

I recently downloaded and installed Vista SP-1, and the problem (deficiency)
persists. The only solutions I have found reccomend I should install LLTD on every XP machine with which I wish to establish network connections. This is impracticable because the general maintenance of those machines is not within
the scope of my work (nor always my control).................

Run Vista X64 Can Not Compatibility

Jan 9, 2009

I want to run Vista x64, but heard about some compatibility issues with some programs and actually need it for the 8GB of memory. I know Vista x32 will only read 3 GB Memory. What I want to know is there that many programs that will not run on x64? Should I stay with x32? I only have a few older programs like Lock-on Modern Combat and Flight sim X and want to run COD 4 and WaW. Will I be ok with this set-up?

Software And Hardware Compatibility

Oct 11, 2007

Can anyone tell me if the old version 7 of Paint Shop Pro can still be used with Vista Premium? I don't need it often, but it seems a shame to have to pony up for a new program if it's not necessary.

Also, I have been unsuccessful in making my old, but perfectly functional, ScanJet 5300C work with Vista. Are there downloadable drivers available to accomplish this?
