PC Sees 2 Different GPU
Oct 25, 2008
I installed a Radeon HD3870 into my Gateway GT 5676 pc which has/had intergrated HD 3200 on the MB. I used Driver Cleaner Pro to clear out the 3200 drivers and loaded the 3870 card and drivers.
When I run:
Device Manager it sees HD3870
System Info it sees HD 3870
GPU-Z it sees the HD 3870
BUT
Dx Diag sees the old 3200! and
C Cleaner lists the 3200,How do I get then all to see my HD 3870? I think my benchmark scores are on the low side.

My vista only sees 2 gig out of 4 gig installed. Bios sees 2 gig and diagnostic memory tool sees no problem.

I have Windows Vista 64 bit Edition, which I have installed SP1 on. I have 4gb of Ram, which is correctly shown in the System Information (this is also shown as 4gb in my 32bit Vista OS). But here is the problem, in the Perfomance tab of Task Manager it shows that I only have 3070MB of Physical Memory. In the Resource Monitor confirms this. My motherboard supports 8gb ram, and I am using Crucial memory, the model of which is supported by the motherboard.

I've scoured the related threads on such dual boot issues in this forum, and my actual situation appears not to be exactly addressed. I have a dual boot system, with XP in the primary partition (50GB), and with Vista in the first logical partition (150GB). XP sees itself naturally as being in C:, and sees Vista as in E: (absurdly seeing the CD/DVD drive as D:), whereas Vista sees itself as C: and XP being in D:.
What I want to do at the moment is NOT ONLY to enable myself to boot straight into Vista, and NOT ONLY to clear out XP, but also to move my Vista installation to the physical position where XP is at the moment, so that it is on the outside of the disk and would have better disk performance - the same reason that good HD defragmenters put the most-used files on the outside of disk or at least of the respective partition.............

Currently I have 2 HDD. One SATA, with Vista on it, one IDE, with an old XP copy on it. I am booting from the SATA HDD. Well the I have my DVD Drive as the IDE Master, the HDD as the Slave (All I do on the IDE HDD is recover files). Well BOIS sees all the drives, Configures correctly (I think), but then I get into windows. It sees C: and D: Paritions on the SATA) but not the IDE Hard Drive. It sees the DVD RW drive too. So, what's wrong? If I unplug the DVD Drive and set the Samsung as IDE Master, It works fine. I can't set the HD as master and the DVD as slave though; the ribbon doesn't bend that way.

I have a Ultimate 64 PC with a USB hard drive attached, a new problem has come up, hopefully someone can help me fix it.
When I start my PC; Windows is asking me what I want to do with the Drive, open the pictures, play the music, open it to view the content etc, it's as if I have just attached the drive.

I use Vista Home Premium full install with 4 SATA hard drives. My data drive is a WD 750-gig. Disk Management sees 698.64gb with no unallocated space. It's an active partition on a basic disk. But when I open "computer" or an explore page, it sees the smaller value.
I've found solutions for xp/2000 that involve enabling 48-bit LBA, but I haven't seen anything on Vista. I don't recall being prompted for the SATA drivers during the load (F6) but I can't promise anything because it's been awhile.

I am running VISTA home premium. On my previous machine, I was running XP Home and connecting my iPod to the computer thru a powered HUB. It worked fine, and iTunes recognized my iPod. When I migrated to this new machine with VISTA, iTunes no longer sees my iPod when it's connected, and I have to precariously connect it through one of the USB ports on the face of the tower (since all the ones in the rear are occupied).

I have a wired router connected to a combination wired/wireless switch (both are LinkSys and pretty old). The PC in question has a wired connection to the switch. In the Network and Sharing Center, Vista sees two Networks: Network (private) and Unidentified Network (public), but both have the same IP information. Both also say local and internet access, but I cannot connect to the Internet. Disabling one of the active connections (one of the fixes suggested by Windows) causes all network connections to be disabled. I have tried resetting the router and switch, renewing the DHCP lease and resetting the network adapter to no avail. The most frustrating aspect of this problem is that it is intermittent. Sometimes, without apparent reason, the computer will "just work." There is another Vista PC also with a wired connection to the switch that has no trouble connecting to the internet and correctly sees only one network.
