Until today, when I inserted a CF card into the appropriate slot in the CPU, it opened up fine. Suddenly, now, when plugging in a CF, I get a message telling me the CF card has to be formatted. I tried this with a blank CF, but then got a message saying the card couldn't be formatted. All I want to do is view/copy/delete the images on my cards.
I have a 2 year old XFX GeForce 8600 GT PCIE 16X that Im trying to install in a new computer with vista 64 and on board ATI radeon HD 3200. The first couple times i tried it, after install, i got no graphics at all, until i removed the card. After going into the BIOS, and changing the "displayPort Config" from Auto to Enabled, the on board graphics would work with the card installed, but not the card graphics. When i try to load the supplied drivers I get this message "The VGA detected seems not XFX's product. please go to nvidia.com to get the driver for the other NVIDIA VGA."
I dont understand that, but i then downloaded updated drivers from Nvidia, but when i try to install them, i get an assortment of error messages, including "The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware", "you are running a 32bit version of nvidia uninstaller on a 64bit system", "setup detected the operating system in use is not windows vista 64bit" these errors seem to contradict themselves.
Is it possible this card is not compatible with the computer? The card may be bad, as my old PC lost graphics, but the geek squad (a bunch of morons by the way) swapped cards and still no graphics and said my MoBo was bad, so i just got new PC, but woudl like to use this card , as I assume its better than the included built in graphics. Going into the MoBo users guide, it doesnt cover switching from on-board graphics to PCI slot, other than describing how to configure the BIOS settings for the graphics card to support ATI Hybrid CrossFireX. I tried that, but it didnt seem to do anything either. im guessing the ATI contol center software doesnt show the enable CrossFire option without a CrossFire compatible card installed, or i didnt install the drivers correctly for that function.
I have just brought a Media PC with a en9800GTX video card which has 2 DVI ports, I was told by the supplier that it is meant to be really good and do everything, I was also told when i got the machine that I really needed a HD TV with an HDMI port on the back so I had to go and get a panasonic TH-42PZ80B again being assured that this was what I needed. further to that I had to get a HDMI cable that would connect to the ports of the video card (via a hdmi to DVI converter) again being assured that this was everything I needed. Picture quality is great but there is no sound!
I can plug speakers into the back of the pc (green port with a standard cable) but there is nothing coming out of the TV, I have been told to right click on the sound icon in vista a change the audio to the TV but it is not listed! the media PC was brought on the basis of being speced to the hilt but there seems to be so much conflicting information and nothing works! 4k down and seems that I have brought a donkey!
I have Vista Ultimate x64 installed on an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop, and it has a 5-in-1 card reader. When I installed Vista, I did a clean install and before doing so, I wrote a list of the drivers I might need to get later, like my graphics card, wireless network card, etc.I failed to write down the 5-in-1 card reader, so I don't know what model or anything it is, but it doesn't work. On my device manager, I have a section called "SD Host Adapters", with "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller" underneath it. I use an SD card, so I would assume this is related. However, under "Other Devices", I have three devices called "PCI FLASH Memory" and they all have a problem. I would assume this is the card slot. Also, does anyone know where I can get x64 drivers for a Synaptics PS/2 Touchpad? It works, but the scrolling features don't work.
I got the game a few mouths ago and tried the downstairs computer at my dads and it plays really BAD... I tried my dads computer and it play slow but good in till I wanted to save and play online. I made a user and went back to the game to sign in and I had to install a update. I installed it and GUESS WHAT? IT BROKE THE GAME!!! I had to reinstall it and tried again but the game broke again... I played and played till I tried again and it again broke so I had to reinstall, but found out the the DISC 2 WAS A MESSED UP MESS. And one thing I don't know is how it got like that. It was sitting on the table and got barely moved. If I had the right computer. this wouldn't happened. Later on... My dad,my sister, and me went shopping to get a me a game and maybe to get something. I was in the game ale. As it turns out there was not a lot of good games. I spotted the GTA 4 game and I got a idea. I forgot to add I was at Wall-Mart and I was on a boating trip. I went to the computers and found the one that we have in the barn [We didn't had one in the barn yet at start] and look at the the computers specs and asked a few things. I got all of the specs except the video card. It doesn't work with the one in the barn.
I can't get online to update any of my drivers.. cuz my wireless card doesn't work. I even tried the disk, it only has x86 on it. so I ran a hardwire, can't usually, it's on the floor. so I used it and downloaded some things 'm having NO luck with it. It's a Airlink Mimo XR 802.11G PCI Adapter mdel AWLH5026.
I use PCTV Pro card & after installing Vista, I couldn't find any software that can work with my tv tuner card. Earlier I had used PCTV Rave software in xp. Plz advice software that can work with my PCTV card in Vista 32bit.
Just installed a Creative X-FI titanium and worked perfectly in Vista 64 bit. I had to use the PCIE x4 slot as the X1 slot would not fit on the motherboard due to the heat sinks. It really did make a huge difference in the sound quality from the on board sound.
I have just finished a new build on a GAX48DQ6 mainboard, Q8450 (quad core) 8GB RAM and an Asus version of the 9600GT. Having installed the board drivers and latest NVidia graphics drivers my performance index is 1 - based on the graphics card (everything else is 5.9 except the boot drive which is 5.5). I have re-calculated it about 6 times because I couldn't believe it. Does the performance index not work in Vista 64, this card (with the same version drivers) scores 5.9 in Vista 32. I don't particularly care about the performance index, unless it is indicating a problem.
Yesterday i got a PCI slot cooler for my video card and i over clocked it some. About 100-125 more on each stat. This is my grapics card i had it running at like 40C MSI USA – Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more. Also i added a new heat sink but every time i try to boot my Windows XP professional the green thing gets to the middle of the bar and restarts my computer. Here is my board Intel® Desktop Board DG33FB - Overview
Last i took out my video card and went to the on board video and tried that and yet it did not work ether. I tried reformatting thinking it was drivers or something didn't work ether. every time i try installing the OS i get General causes of "STOP 0x0000007F" errors Divide by zero error A divide by zero is caused when a DIV instruction is executed and the divisor is 0. Memory corruption (or other hardware problems) or software failures can cause this. anyone on here who knows XP well let me know im running a diagnostic test right now to find the problem.
Since I have upgraded the PC to Vista, I cannot use anymore WinTV-HVR-1300 (PCI) (Same issue with PCTV Dual hybrid - PCI-Express). Vista simply hangs while booting, the last driver loaded is crcdisck.sys. If I remove the WinTV card Vista works perfectly. With WinXP all was working fine. I tried to remove all the cards from the PC... the issue happens when I insert the WinTV or the PCTV card... Of course I also tried to change some settings in the BIOS without success.
what is pci e. iam looking for new graphic card. and i saw pci-e. i have a ecs nettle mother board. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs*-* Motherboard Specifications, MCP61PM-HM (Nettle)* also. can i use a vid card that is more that 256 mb
I have been wracking my brain for weeks now, trying to play C&C First Decade with Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge over the LAN, it will only run on IPX networking which I could setup with 2x XP machines, I have Vista Ultimate on my PC, and XP on another, I found some drivers for IPX to work on Vista, didn't work ... So I loaded Hamachi which had built-in IPX support. Now when I open RA2, it no longer says IPX unavailable, it shows 00 00 00...
So it can see my Hamachi adapter with IPX support, great! The other XP machine has Hamachi installed, and they are both VPN'd (Connected) on the same Hamachi Network. They don't see each other... The XP machine shows a few IPX networks, I have tried switching to them all, even put the Hamachi adapter and the LAN adapter to the top of the preferred networks list. This was sort-of a breeze with both XP, but with Vista it's looking to be a bit tricky. I have no firewalls running on either machine and I am pretty cluey when it comes to networking (TCP/IP that is).
Ive just bought some new headphones yet when i plug them in the sound still comes out of the speakers. I know the headphones do work because i use them with my mp3 player

Hello, i am thinking of getting a new video card soon, and wanted to know if the card i picked is better than my current one.
The card i want to get is the EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Video Card.
My current card is the NVIDIA GeForce 8200.
Is the card i want to buy any better than the one i currently have? I don't know to much about video cards but I think it is better. If it is better, will this card run Race Driver : Grid, and COD5?
I have been using an SD card in my laptop for portable storage for ~6 months. Suddenly, I have started getting an error message saying that "Disk is write protected." The tab on the SD card is in the unlock position. I have tried using the properties window to change it but their is no option to change it from Read Only or Change Permissions. If I click on a folder on the SD card and try to change it via the Properties Windows the window says that it is "Read Only" but when I uncheck "Read Only," it says I can't because the disk is Read Only. And again I can't find any option to change ownership or permissions.
We have Vista Home Edition. When I want to download only new pictures of our sd card I have to wait and download the entire sd card. We have liek 550 pics so far and it will only grow. Why do we have to go thru these everytime? I only want the new pics.
I was wondering what is the best wireless network adapter - i'm a bit strapped for cash and so i need the best and cheapest solution. I have a Dell Dimension E521 running Vista
This morning I was able to access my SD card for my camera with no problem. But then all of a sudden I went to download some pictures that I had taken afterwards and the computer doesn't recognize the card. When I unplug it from the reader it does the ejection sound but when I plug it in it gives an error sound (three small low grade beeps). I put the SD back in my camera and the pictures are still there. Why is Vista not recognizing the card all of a sudden?
In the not to distant future, I plan to change my 8800 GTS 640 card to an AMD 4800 series card. I'm currently running Vista 64. I'm concerned that I'll run into a whole host of problems and will end up just reformatting my C drive and starting with a fresh install of V64 with the new card already installed. Can anyone share their experience? I'm sure someone has successfully made the N to A transition.
I recenly purchased a Toshiba laptop with Vista. I would like to network with my current desktop which has XP home. I wanna comunicate them by lan coz its impossible to manage net with wireless. how i can network my notbook with my pc via lan cand.
Currently I'm running a Nvidia 9800gt, I would like to upgrade to one of Nvidia's new cards, I have no idea if my motherboard would support one of the newer cards, because I received my computer from Dell/QVC. Is there anyway short of opening up my computer that I can find out if my mb will support a newer card.
i got a vcr that is connected to my tv tuner card using wmc using RF giving bad quality. any chance that there is a RF to av converter or something like tt
my gfx card temps are a little worrying. Playing a company of heroes 40 minute long game with 8 players on a large map, my temps go up to about 80c. But it always idles around 70c even when ive just turned my pc on. even the gt200 cards get a lower idle reading than this, and mines only an 8800gts 512card. I dont think its a stuck sensor either, because if i open up my pc, i cant even touch the heatsink because its so hot.
I have recently upgraded from XP SP2 to VISTA 32. Both Vista DVD Maker and AERO are not funtional and Vista tells me its due to using a NVIDIA Geforce4 MX4000 graphics card, so I need to replace it...Not knowing too much about this sort of stuff, I have found a AGP FX5500 in a local store and I wonder if it would be OK ? Or should I go for something with a little more 'grunt'? The PC is used mainly for photo editing and burning video to DVD, very little gaming, attached are my specs.
