SLI Enabling Two Different Cards.
Jan 1, 2010
I own an ASUS CG5290, and it came with an ASUS Rampage II Gene motherboard, an ASUS GTX 260 896mb graphics card, 9 gbs of ram, and an i7 running at 2.66. My video card was acting up so I decided to purchase a BFG GTX 275 896mb GDDR3 and picked up a 900w power supply. Then as I was installed it, I noticed that my PSU said something about being SLI ready and I looke up on to that. Can my computer dual run 2 different cards? An ASUS GTX 260 and a BFG GTX 275?

I turned off UAC on my parents' new computer a couple days ago. Yesterday, my dad encountered some spyware while browsing (he called me over and I noticed that Firefox had somehow gone to onlinexpscanner.com and downloaded a suspicious executable, and there was a prompt to run the program). I am now trying to figure out if any spyware got installed onto the computer. The first thing I have noticed is that UAC is now enabled, even though I had disabled it a couple days ago. How did that happen? Could any Windows updates have re-enabled it?

I had my laptop out for repairs, and when I got it back they had enabled the auto log on at startup. I don't like this because that way anyone could get into my computer when they turn it on.
How do I DIS-able this? I've found plenty of sites that enables it, but I don't want it on. Undoing the checkmark in the place that does it on Vista doesn't seem to do the trick.

After re-enabling UAC, 1 of the 4 users cannot login anymore. He types as usual his credentials, the login seems to proceed, but after a few seconds the login screen is back. The user who cannot login anymore, has done updates of Vista. This user is an Administrator.

I just fired up on windows vista with IE 7 after many long years on win95 and 98.
I searched but did not see this exact problem. I was trying to login to my amazon account and it said I needed to enable cookies to get in. Over the course of the next 2 hours I was finally at:
Norton shut off.
Cookies enabled with all amazon sites they listed in as trusted sites.
Cookies cleared and new window opened.
I still got the same error.

I've just installed Beta 2 (5384) and I'm so far very happy with it. All of my hardware is fully functioning even with some of it using XP drivers. I've installed the nVidia drivers 88.61 for my Geforce 6800GT w/ 256MB RAM. After enabling Aero, the graphics are terribly sluggish. I can't drag a window without it jumping around. My resolution is 1680x1050. Is there something I'm missing? I've checked the supported GPU lists and there's tons of cards slower than mine that support Aero. Is this just a stupid list of what will "work" but not what will perform well?

I know about powercfg -h on. It doesn't work. Disk cleanup deleted the hibernation file, now when I put that line in the command prompt it tells me: "Hibernation failed with the following error: Access is denied. The following items are preventing hibernation on this system. The system could not create the hibernation file. The specific error code is 0xc0000022."I am an admin account, running the cmd.exe as an admin. Doing this in safe mode produces a different error which I can post if you want (along the lines of a VGAsave). There are no options in the control panel remotely relating to hibernation. Is there any alternate way to enable hibernation or to get the powercfg tool to work as it is intended?

I just recently bought 3 Western Digital hard drives.
First one is a Western Digital - Caviar GP 1TB Internal SATA Hard Drive
Second is Western Digital Caviar SE16 Internal SATA 320GB Hard Drive
Third is WD Caviar Blue WD400JD - hard drive - 40 GB - SATA-300
my question is do i have to configure the jumpers to enable faster tranfer speeds or are they already maximized by default?

Vista Home Premium SP1
I know this probably isn't the correct newsgroup for this question, but here goes.How do you use an SD Card?
I have just bought a new one and used it in a camera. The camera confirms that there are saved photos on the card but when I connect it to the SD slot on the computer nothing seems to happen. I do notice a green light appears next to the slot on the computer as if it is reading something, but, having left it for 10 mins, nothing else has happened.

I use USB memory sticks for backup. I wonder if I should be using SD cards? My PC has slots for both. I have used SD cards in my camera, but never in my pc. Does anyone know how they compare in terms of speed and cost per gigabyte?

I'm running:
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.73 GHz
3.5 GB RAM
ATI Raedeon Xpress 200M Chipset
Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit
I have recently installed a ATI Radeon HD 4670 into my computer, I downloaded the latest ATI Catalyst driver from the ATI website and it installed the latest driver for both of the video cards, after it restarted I get this error message in the device manager for the ATI Radeon HD 4670:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)
I checked in the device manager and it says it has the same wddm driver version for both devices, I have tried installing many times but it continues to presist, is this a Windows Vista or ATI issue? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Running Windows Vista Ult and i installed a second graphics card to run 3 monitors.
The problem is device manager doesn't show the second installed graphics card.
My System:
E6850
GA-x38-DQ6 MoBo
4Gb ram
8800 Ultra
7600GT (This is the card i added)
Basically it recognizes the 8800 Ultra only. I have read that to use dual cards with Vista they need to use the same drivers (169.25), which they do. Even if that wasn't the case shouldn't the graphics card show in device manager regardless?
Is there something about Vista and dual graphics that i am missing?
The 7600GT functions fine, (tested in another computer) so i am at a loss here.

I got MoBo ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium running Vista Ultimate 32bit on Core 2 Duo Processor. Recently I got another Graphic Card ATI Radeon X1900XTX 512MB PCI-e which I already have one. So, I plan to use the two X1900XTX cards on my system. I already checked the cards but found it has no connection to enable the so-called SLI bridge to connect the two cards.
1. Is there any way for me to use the 2 cards on my PC (crossfire/SLI)?
2. Does the crossfire dongle will make the 2 cards works?
3. Any new tech that enable crossfire with non-SLI cards?

When I remove a memory card (xD, Smart Media, etc.,)from my multi-card reader on my computer after transfering photos to my hard drive, do I need to use the "Safely Remove Hardware" function? How about when I remove a USB Flash Drive after transfering photos? Or is the "Safely Remove Hardware" option just used when removing a USB connected device such as a printer or scanner?::

Is it possible to insert 5 graphic cards with dual DVI outputs in order to display Windows Vista desktop on 10 monitors (5 cards x 2 outputs)? What I need is a one big desktop that is stretched to all 10 monitors. And I need configuration of 5 monitors in one row, so I have two rows with 5 monitors in each.

I used to run three monitors on two cards, one pci and the other AGP. Somewhere along the line, (maybe when I went to XP64), this stopped working. I now have a PCI express card which cheerfully runs two monitors but if I put in an old, dual monitor PCI card it doesn't seem to be recognized. Is this a known issue and is there a way around it?

i have an HP Pavilion Slimline Vista 64, a few days ago i tried putting in my SD card in the built-in slot but my computer wouldnt detect, i tried viewing the files on my phone and the files wouldnt come up there either, it said that i had a card in but the card had 0% space used up, but also had 0% free. so i figured the card was no good anymore...then i tried viewing files from a PRO Duo stick, which the computer also has a built-in slot for, and itwouldnt detect it either(even though the little green light that indicates a card being put in flashes) but when i insert the PRO Duo in my PSP i can view the files just fine.

I am using an HP a1700n with Vista Home Premium. I cannot for the life of me figure out why my SD card reader will not read any cards. All of my drivers are up-to-date (I believe... I'm not sure exactly which device I am looking for in device manager). I downloaded and installed what I was told might be a fix (Texas Instruments PCIxx 20), to no avail. I would hate to have to buy an external card reader when I have a 9-in-1 built-in... and assuming I did, if this is a Vista problem, no guarantee even that would work
