I would like to use my Vista Media Center as a DVR using a Media Extender. I have digital cable (Comcast). I would be using it just to watch recorded shows on my HDTV using a Media Extender and would not be watching TV on my PC. I want a HDTV tuner card that will record programs from my digital cable using Media Center Software, not proprietary software. Any HDTV tuner cards fit this bill? Can be PCI or USB cards (my PCIe is taken by my graphics card.).

I've encountered a problem in recent days concerning either my graphics card or monitor, which one? Im not sure. It all started a yesterday while playing a game of Counter Strike : Source , I had alt-tabbed ingame and decided to alt-tab back into the game and as i proceeded to do this my computer locked up ... couldn't move mouse or anything. So I proceeded to restart my computer. This is where everything went wrong. My monitor was not showing any image, only a black screen with the Analog/Digital box flashing. So I tried a few things to see what would resolve this problem ... Removed all cords, plugged them in agian ect. Unplugged graphics card then plugged back in agian. Restarted PC numerous times. Reinstalling drivers I'm using a DVI to VGA cable connecting my graphics card to my monitor,
I've also tried plugging another monitor into my graphics card, with no result.Onboard graphics work fine. I don't have another graphics card to test it on ... In my computers devices it says the video driver is not installed correctly or something along those lines? Does anybody have a step by step guide on installing drivers?.....

I have a HP Pavilion computer that has the video card built into the motherboard, I want to run dual monitors on the computer. Can I using the existing video card setup and get another video card to run the second monitor, or do I need to get a dual monitor video card? Or is there any other options for a dual monitor setup. This computer is not for high speed graphics. No gaming on this system. Just need to know the best way to approach this situation or what you would recommend.

I have an 8800GT and a 7600 GT Geforce card. The 8800 is for my primary monitor, a Nec, and also runs a small Dell. The 7600 is for two Dells. But when I go to Preferences in CS3 and check "GPU Settings" it says it detects the 7600 card, not the 8800. So then I looked at Vista color management and there it shows the monitor connected to the 7600 card as my default monitor. How can I change the default monitor to make it the Nec, which is already the primary? And will that cause Photoshop to then detect the 8800 card instead of the 7600?

I have a new computer with Vista Home Premium x64. I used a dual monitor graphics card in my old computer with Windows XP. Took the card out and install it in my new computer and updated the driver. But, performance is poor. For example I can't use Vista Aero. I would like to buy a new, relatively inexpensive dual monitor graphics card which is compatible with Vista premium x64.

I think after this update: Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB968389) …my dual monitor video card: PNY VCG86GTS5XWB-OC GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card …sometimes does not bring the second monitor on after waking from S3 sleep. It’s still in dual screen mode as I can see a taskbar window fly to the second monitor. But I have to sleep and wake again to get it to come back on. Anyone else experience something like this? I don’t remember it ever happening before and was wondering if it could be the patch.

I added a second monitor to the GeForce 7100 GS using a DVI-VGA adapter and for the life of me cannot get it to display anything, the monitor is just in sleep mode. I've got the latest driver, Windows is up to date, checked the cables, tried another adapter, tried everything but, still nothing. The second monitor shows up in the device manager and in the Nvidia control panel. It's enabled and set to extend desktops. It seems the system knows it's there because I can move the mouse over, but cannot see anything. The power light on the second monitor just flashes. I've swapped monitors over, to make sure there's not a problem with the display and it's fine. When I do that, the main monitor is then plugged in to the DVI adapter and then that one goes to sleep. Just seems whichever monitor is plugged in to the DVI-VGA adapter just doesn't want to work........

i have only one monitor, and somehow it is being treat as though its the secondary monitor in a dual monitor set up. i cannot view my start menu, or view any programs being opened, as when i try to open them, they presumeably open on the phantom primary monitor. even when i try to open display settings, i cannot see the box. i am able to move my mouse to the left border of the screen and move it off into oblivion, and occasionally drag random folders and short cuts over to view.

Right now I am running a vista machine with 2 monitors one widescreen and my old one. I keep all my sidebar gadgets to the other monitor so I can monitor temps and system diagnostics. Today, my sidebar is on my main monitor and no mater what I do it won't go back to monitor-2, no mater what the setting is in the sidebar properties. What is going on here?

I have a cable with a square nine 9 pins, a second square nine 9 pins and a single flat blade pin same on both ends. I am assuming it is to go from computer to computer. What is it? It also has a molded clamp on each end. It came with my computer about 1 year ago.

Bought the above cable today especially for the UFC. Sorted the resolution out to mirror my laptop but the screen colour is a funny shade of pink! Anyone know of a way to sort this out?

I use a LCD tv for my monitor. Currently im using a VGA cable to connect it. My 3D card has a DVI out and my TV has an HDMI in. So will it be better to use a DVI-HDMI cable. The VGA cable im using is a cheap one and seems to be having a shielding issue.

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.

how to get Windows to remember my modem settings. Every time I wake up or restart my computer I have to get Windows to reset my modem. This has only just started happening after I had help from Microsoft. They had me run a reset .bat to reset my services (in an effort to restart Security Center). It failed and I have since run Black Vipers "safe" settings and also turned off Media Center services. Microsoft help has left my computer in a worse state than it was before I went to them

I have little red crosses on the LAN connections between my 2 pcs - one running vista, on running xp sp2. The ethernet cable is plugged in, and the ethernet ports work ok when connecting to a router, they only stop working when one pc is plugged to the other So far I've tried, amongst other things: -Installing the XP networking patch on the xp machine - Getting the workgroup and user names the same on both machines I dont seem to be able to run ipconfig on 1 pc - the window pops up ,scrolls and quickly closes. The xp machine says "cable unplugged" when connected to the vista pc, but is fine when I plug it into the router Can bright ideas...?

I have an HP laptop, a Pavillion dv9000. I recently got an hdmi cable to connect it to my tv. I was able to get it to work the first time, but subsequently when I've tried my mouse cursor disappears. I can still toggle icons and such using the keyboard but it's a pain. any thoughts on why this is happening or what to do to fix it?

I see all these USB link cabled on eBay and most say they're not compatible with Vista. Why? What is the big deal? The reason I'm asking is part of my job is to retrieve databases off clients' machines and sometimes I can't tear it down and pull the drive.In that case I have to screw around with jump drives - etc. With the size of these files I need a backup plan - link two machines and pull the data off via a cable.So, why no Vista?

With old computer, running Windows XP, if I wanted to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer I could just plug the USB cord into the camera & into the computer and the picture wizzard would automatically come up and walk me right through it. With my new computer, running Windows Vista, when I plug the USB cable in, I get the sound that I usually get when I plug the cable in but nothing more happens. I don't know how to get to the wizzard so I can download (or upload or whatever the correct term is) my pics to my computer. I do have the capability to take out my XD picture card and insert it into my computer but I also want to be able to use the USB cable. Is this a Vista thing?

I am trying to use a SYBA USB to Parallel Cable to support my Color LaserJet 5 printer underVISTA. I checked SYNA and they stated support for only SPP mode but don't know where to change to SPP mode. Also, is there a special driver to change theinterface from Parallel to USB? I also tried using the installed Manhattan Parallel Port card but the result is always the same - data is loaded into the printer and then disappears without printing and no errors.

I've got a SAMSUNG notebook and my "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" seems to be not working. I cannot see (let alone connect to) any wireless environment. I have to access the internet via ethernet cable, which is really annoying. I've done the following so far: The device manager says the adapter is working properly. I've updated to the latest driver The adapter is also turned on. I don't know what else I should do.

I have the vista premium and I'm trying to set up the win fax for cable, through comcast in spokane wa. I have three fax pending and not sent. It says that I have to set it up on the server. I have no clue about setting it up, and I am the system admin on my personal computer. The other issue is the dialing rules do not work. I do not want the win fax to dial +1 for a local number.

Which is the maximum length for using the HDMI cable? Ok what i want to do is. I will like to connect my PC Graphic card Ati Radeon 3870x2 with my HDTV Samsung LE40A656F1 1080p 100Hz LCD 50,000:1 Both are 1080p capable and they have HDMI. But they are in separate rooms,the distance from pc to tv is 50ft long.
1)Is there any problem to use 50ft long HDMI cable?
2)Is there any <<special>> HDMI cable for 1080p?
3)Which is the best brand for the best results?
4)How do i know if my HDMI cable is 1080p capable?
(The main usage for my pc is gaming in 1920x1080 resolution and watching HD movies) I forgot to write that i already have 1 connected tv in my graphic card and i want to connect a SECOND tv in the SECOND hdmi of my card. Is that ok? i will find any problems in picture quality,sound or anything else? The purpose of all this is to play(1920x1080) games in my room,and watch 1080p movies in the living room. How i enable the second tv view in my card? (Btw i found a 15metres HQ hdmi cable) is that a good brand?

I recently purchased a HP C4180 All-in-One printer for use on my Vista home Premium 32-bits laptop. But I don't succeed in installing the printer. Everytime that I have to plug in the USB-cable, Vista recognizes the printer model, but doesn't find the drivers. I've already concacted the HP customer center, and many people tried to help me, but without succes. At last, I tried to install the printer on our XP-computer, and this worked very well, without problems.
I have to say that these drivers were installed with the XP-installation disk of HP. The other cd that came with my printer was a vista-drivers cd. At last, one of the people who helped me, said it could be a problem with the USB-cable. The length was alright (1.80 meters), and it worked on XP, but they said that Vista is more sensitive for different cables... I use this cable for my Maxtor hard drive too, on this laptop, without any problem caused by Vista.

EVERYTHING is plugged in, the internet on my computer is working fine. However my laptop says "local and internet connection" but only displays the 5 bars now if I go into network configuration. It says everything is connected, yet ALSO says the LAN cable is unplugged, which it isn't. I originally thought this might be a problem with the laptop itself but my dad brought his home from work and it doesn't work either... I've done pretty much everything you can think of doing to fix this problem but nothing is working

I have two HD tv tuners in my machine, which I ordered when purchased the machine, so the cable guy came to my house to put a card they have to put in the back of this tuner (equiv. of digital cable box, I'm paying $10/mo. for it..) but now I can't activate the digital cable-tv feature in Windows Media Center b/c Vista is not accepting the product key supplied (it's in a sticker on the machine..) folks where I bought my machine said it's b/c Vista has gotten corrupted and I need to re-install it.. (this is based on their experience with other users having reported this problem, it was solved by re-installing Vista..)
now pls note I'm NOT talking about the Windows activation prod key, but another one, a 2nd product key on sticker in my machine, specif. for digital cable TV.. Vista is not accepting this product key; I have to do a clean re-install, which means wiping out all my data and starting over.. this is a HUGE pain..pls also note that the card the cable co. installed is correct one (WMC checks to see if you have correct hardware before it proceeds, I wouldn't get as far as where it asks for digital cable tv product key if I didn't have correct hardware in there..) before I embark on re-installing Vista I would like to know if there's another solution to this problem..
