I have a brand new HP laptop with running Vista Home Premium. USB devices I regularly use is my digital camera, my iPod, a bluetooth USB stick, my printer and my wireless mobile internet device. Every time I plug one of these in, I have to pray that it will be recognised. If it is a good day, and it is recognized, it does not show up in My Computer or in Windows Explorer and I cannot unplug it safely. With some of the devices, every time I plug it in, I get a pop-up which says it is updating the driver software, but it does not seem to make any difference.
when I plug my speakers into the rear panel, realtek device manager still shows that I have not plugged anything into the back jack, and I have checked about 10 times to make sure it is in the right hole, this is also the issue with my microphone, when I try to configure my speakers, it shows a red "x" and says "not plugged in" I don't know what the issue may be, it does the same for microphone as well, and I can't figure out how to fix this. Also the "configure" and "set default" button's are grayed out and I can't click them. Also I am trying to use analog speaker's if that makes any difference with responses.
Internet Explorer 7 in 64-bit mode: Awesome! Minefield, otherwise known as Firefox 3 Beta 3, the only x64 Firefox browser currently available. Incredible...BUT! There are no Flash/Shockwave, amongst others, 64-bit plug-in's available, so I am forced to use FF2 x86, as well as IE7 x86, and I don't understand how anybody browses without, at a minimum, the Adobe Flash Player plug-in.
Most sites that I frequent require the Adobe Flash player, some do the Shockwave, too. I watch a lot of CNN and NBC News, and both of those, amongst many others, require the Flash player. Is anyone aware of beta plug-in's, or an ETA as to when they'll be released? Is there any other (temporary) solution that I am unaware of.
my friend just told me that if i buy one of those wireless usbs and plug it to my computer i get unlimit internet is that true? if so witch one should i get
I can't track down the exact thing that changed, but many of my internet plug-ins (QuickTime, Silverlight, Air) won't work properly. I will install the plug-in, then when I go to a site that requires it, it says it's not installed, despite clearly being the Program registry.
When I use QuickTime, I can go to various sites that have QT movies and they load fine, but if I go to Apple.com, it says I need to grab the newest QuickTime. Silverlight apps won't load at all. Any time I go to Adobe's marketplace for AIR apps, despite having one running, it says that I need to install Air. This is in both IE7 and Firefox.
I recently bought a Canon Rebel xti, and also a 2GB memory card along with it. I also got a Digital Concepts 21 in 1 card reader. Cin the card to the reader an error pops up saying the file doesn't have a program associated to it and i need to create one in the set associations control panel. I know where the set associations panel is, but i don't know how to actually associate a program to the reader.
i installed adobe 8 and easy media creator 9 .the 1st one dont let me click the accept button in license user agreement. the 2nd dont show the home page with all the functions. its because i still cant get the activex controls/plug-ins working. the site requiring them just show a blank page
Vista has detected my wireless router and I have the internet. However, wenever i plug a cable in (for faster speeds) it doesnt work It doesnt detect the cable i plug in
Every time I try and do something open browser, email, etc. A box pops up saying " Do you want to allow software such as Active X controls and plug ins to run" I know it is just a setting some where but I can't find it. So asking for some help in locating this setting so I can stop the box from popping up all the time. running Vista home premium X64.
I have somehow lost the digital mic input option on my Gateway laptop model W3501. The left scan is of my daughter's computer; the right scan is mine (the two computers are identical I bought them at the same time): Here's what happened: When I recorded on my computer with a plug-in mic, the onboard mic didn't mute, so I was getting recordings from both mics at once. I tried to disable the onboard mic. But after doing that, I get a lot of white noise when I plug in a mic: How can I get it back to how it was? (There are no restore points that go back as far as when I made the changes). I really need step-by-step help here - I'm not all that computer savvy.
I need to install a FM Patcher program so some of my older plug-in will work in Photo Shop and PSP.
When I installed the patcher I get this error message that I have attached.FM Patcher is a small application that lets you change Photoshop .8bf plugins that were created with older versions of FilterMeister in order to make them work under Windows Vista. Normally developers just need to recompile their plugins with the latest FilterMeister release to make them Vista-compatible, but unfortunately some developers abandoned their plugins. So we decided to create FM Patcher to enable users of these old plugins to make them work under Vista.
At the moment Fm Patcher does not fix the problem that old FilterMeister plugins have with activated Data Execution Prevention (DEP). You still need to deactivate DEP in your control panel or place your graphics application on the DEP exclusion list.
Malware writers spoof Firefox plug-in. A virulent new attack on Mozilla's Firefox browser is setting off alarms in the security world. Researchers from BitDefender said that the new attack exploits a browser plug-in. The malware reportedly disguises itself as Greasemonkey, a plug-in which allows users to write and execute custom scripts to add or augment web page data.
I have just recently bought my laptop with Vista Home Premium on it. The problem occurred after I transferred all files over and tried to play my Corrinne Baley Ray audio cd. The page came up saying I needed to download a license and to press the button. After doing this I get a message saying that "my netscape browser does not have windows media services plugins installed. And thats as far as I can go.
Reminds me of the time that Microshit said that WGA-N was a "critical" update except this time they put computer users at risk. Not very nice, Microshit.
Is there any way I can get Vista to not recognize a gigabyte of RAM? I'm having trouble with a game and I hear that to fix it you can't have more than 3 GB of RAM, and I have 2 2GB sticks of RAM and I don't want to run my system on 2GB.
I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and just installed a new Lexmark x4650 all-in-one. I can print perfectly when it is connected wirelessly (through the printer's internal connection to the network), but it won't recognize there is a scanner on it. If I connect it via USB, it works. I have tried disabling both the firewall (McAfee and Windows) and the wireless router. I can't see to find anyone who can print but not scan over the network.
I have a friend who is having issues with windows vista 64 home edition not recognizing all four cores of processor. Here is what we have done so far: updated bios tried to change cores in system config but only giving two core option and we have four. rma first processor since 3 separate programs(windows,amd overdrive and cpuz) all showed only two cores checked all appropriate options in gigabyte bios. All components are compatible.
I just updated from XP Media Center to Vista Media Center (via Home Premium), so I'm a tad new to the Vista version. ALL I want it for is to play music, I don't want pictures, TV, (I might want movies though), etc. Is there a way to remove menu items I don't want: i.e. Pictures, etc.. Also, what types of rips will MC recognize? mpg, avi, etc. The XP version seemed only to recognize .divx files.
I'm using Vista Ultimate with Fax and Scan. It won't recognize my Canone LIDE 30. All of my other programs that use the scanner do recognize it. I am looking for a sure thing ... a scanner that will work with Ultimate's Fax and Scan. I have heard that MS dropped TWAIN for this product and uses a different methodology.
I did have a network All In One but had nothing with problems using it with Vista. So now I'm thinking I'll just connect a scanner to the computer. I tried other software but I received a message that it couldn't access the modem because it was in use by another program ( not the case ).
i am running a vista 64 bit sp1 in 4gb 800mhz(2x2gb stick). i have a patriot RAM in 5-5-5 15 timings. it run smoothly and i have no prob. my cousn gave me another RAM. 2gb (2x1gb stick) of Corsair also 800mhz but different timings ( 4-4-4 12). After i plug the Corsair RAM my pc boot w/ no prob. i check it if vista recognize my another 2 gb of RAM for the total of 6gb of my computer RAM. and yes welcome center recognized it.
but after a while. i play some videos and BOOM, blue screen of death appear. i didnt catch the error code. the pc reboot. but when ever i played some video, bluescreen of death appear again. do you think that different timings of RAM affect it. but both RAM have same 800mhz.
How come this happens? I will be using Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium and it simply will not recognize any DVD that I put in the DVD drive. I hit restart and the same thing happens. Then I hit shut down and let it shut down and then restart it with the power button and the DVD-RW drive and any disc in it will be read perfectly. This seems odd and disconcerting.
pc does not recognize my dvd drives,i have windows vista 32 bit,i went into help and support,which advised to go into devise manager and check to see if the dvd drives are listed which they are, then to right click on the dvd drives,properties, and click the troubleshoot tab,then the attached box pops up and i dont know where to go from there,
I purchased this drive and it was working fine until now. When I plug it into the computer it does not recognize the HDD. :sa: The problem started after I reformmatted the CPU. I am running Vista Ultimate 32.
I have a ps3 and I wan't to connect to the internet so I bought a wirelesss router and about 3 ethernet cables (I didn't know it wasn't neccesary)I try calling verizon to help hook up my router but they say some thing was wrong with the router it wasn't lighting up. So I bought a new router and the Ethernet wasn't lighting up eather. My dsl modem isn't lighting up eather so i've proved that my pc isn't recognizing my ethernet connections... My uncle has a ps3 and he has internet so I called him and he couldn't help me because the problem is with the pc. What do I have to do? I'm freaking out i've tryed using my other ethernets and the results are the same as before!
what is the max amount of RAM that Vista 32 bit will recognize? I ask this because I have 3 gigs of RAM currently on my 32 bit computer and I want to go buy some more. I found a good stick for under 20 dollars that I don't mind spending on. If I make my RAM go from 3 gigs to 4 gigs, will it recognize the extra gig? I heard that it will not recognize 4 gigs but I also heard that it won't recognize anything more than 4 gigs.
this is my very last try to fix this problem! perhaps the solution is very simple, but i have no more ideas to solve it. i just want to use my usb-storages on my system. neither my 2,5''-usbhdd nor my sandisk cruzr usbstick is accesible. vista asks me to provide special drivers from the manufacturer. but there are no special usb-flash-drive-drivers. the mainboard is a asus p5k. the 64bit-system-drivers are installed. the joke: my very old 64mb-flashdrive works fine, as well as my digicam and the memorycard in my handy.
