Update To Newest Drivers, Mode Not Supported
Sep 20, 2009
i shall start from the beginning, went to clean my pc out, as normal, took out my dvi-i adapter, left it on the side.... my boy got hold of it (bless him), couple of pins missing, so i brought a new one off ebay for very cheap talking less than 2 quid (i know !), so while i wait i take out my 7900 GS to clean its fan as its not accessible while in tower.... so the new dvi-i comes , i put card back in, start up and looks ok till i get "mode not supported" on my lcd.. tried few times, no joy.
so card comes out, put vga into onboard, works fine, so monitor seems good. deleted nvidia drivers, switched off put card in, adapter, cables, start up then card installs itself, restart , all good so far, apart from old drivers and crap resolution.. i noticed in my device manager there was no "Monitor Tab", after a brief search, i updated and i now have a Monitor tab and have "Generic PnP monitor" in the section.
Then i update to newest drivers, after i restart i get the message "Mode Not Supported" with H 75.0 hz / V 60.0 hz under it. i tried this with several drivers back to july 2008, still no luck, and tried all resolutions also tried it with my old crt monitor and i get a "frequency" message. so could this be the cheap ass adapter? , my card ?, bit to hard a clean and broke it?

ANd another q: can i make partitions in vista before installing xp( eventually)? and how?

Last week, I was unable to install Microsoft updates. They failed every time. I overcame this by doing a system restore to an earlier date before the previous updates. They then installed. However I was left with Microsoft Net framework 3.5 Service pack 1 which failed to install. I went to Microsoft download site and downloaded from there. The my troubles started, in that now on opening my machine it tries to configure these updates and says on screen "configuring 3 of 3" gets to 87% then closes automatically and restarts the process overagain. I tried to open in "safemode" but exactly the same thing happens. Is there anything I can do to stop this, or am I forced in to doing a restore to factory settings, or I note that I have another option of "last known good configuration (advanced)". As I am not advanced this causes me concern.

ever since planning on a new pc build i knew at some point that id want to install vista on it. Ive planned to get vista 64 seeing as i have a machine capable of running a 64 bit o/s with ease (when i buy my extra 2gb of ram along with my copy of vista) I have been doing my research on which of my games ill still be able to play & tbh the only ones that im remotely worried about are older than red orchestra so no problems there.
My only real concern is the drivers for my belkin wireless card (f5d7001uk) which doesnt have any vista 32 drivers! But ive heard a rumour that vista automatically installs the drivers itself?? Im also worried that some of the useful little apps i have installed wont install such as winrar, wavepad, deepburner pro 1.8 & punkbuster

While being satisfied by the cool effects and new interface of Windows Vista Codename Longhorn, many of us testers are what you would call "gamers." The lot of us would like to know if gaming on the default Vista Supplemental drivers would mean loss of graphics quality compared to using up to date drivers on a XP OS. For example, I installed Vista and then installed my trusty game, Battlefield 2. I tried using the new nvidia Vista drivers but the game kept crashing when I start it up. So I reinstalled the Vista Supplemental drivers and it happened to work. Quite interesting. I am able to run the game on default vista drivers and not the nvidia vista drivers. Coming to conclusion, would using the vista drivers result in loss of quality and graphics compared to using up to date drivers on a XP system? Or you can also rephrase it; Would gaming be better on the Vista Beta or XP? Does anyone know if SLI works on Vista?

Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:
Installed all updates including SP2.
Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus.
Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i)
Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia
Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4
Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router.
I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........

I recently purchased a new system primarily to run MS Flight Simulator FSX. The OS on my new righ (Packard Bell iXtreme) is Vista 64bit and I am already finding out that many addon programs to FSX are not supported by 64Bit OS. My question is whether or not I should upgrade to Windows 7.

Although my card supports 2xxx x 1xxx resolutions and my monitor supports 1920x1200 optimal; I can only reach 1920x1080 at maximum resolution. All my drivers are up to date. What can I do to solve this problem? Can I do anything? What is wrong?

I have been trying to burn a clutch of photographs to a cd for the first time on my Dell Laptop using Vista. I am using old cds (CD-RW) that I know are free and I have been using them to transfer photographs from an older PC so I know that laptop is able to read the cds. I have had to use the old PC to scan the photographs as my scanner is not supported by Vista.
However, when I come to burn the photographs I get a message that windows cannot complete the format or it hangs after taking forever to try to complete the format. I have to admit I do not understand the process and thought I would be able to drag and drop as I have done with a flash drive. I did have Nero on my old PC but I cannot use that as I cannot get the photographs back to the PC from the laptop. I am fairly sure the old PC does not support a flash drive. Also the old PC does not have an Ethernet port.

I havent been on these forums in a while, which is good becuz it means i have had no problems but... i want a new graphics card becuz my intel card doesnt currently support the detail i want it to.
I currently have the Moblie intel(R) 965 express chipset family, but it doesnt support lighting detail on a game i play. its browser based, and the tech forums for that game says its my graphics card. I am awaiting full confirmation as of yet. Until then, i would like a nvidia graphics card series 6 or upwards, and i am looking to pay £50 so i dont think i am gonna get the 9 series

I've been using AVG on one of my computers (with OS 2000 prof) and have loved it (coupled with Zone Alarm). My parents just got a new HP desktop computer with Vista Home Premium installed. I installed the free edition AVG 7.5 and free edition Zone Alarm and everything worked fine. Then AVG sent out notices that AVG 7.5 free edition would not be supported any more (definition updates). I left 7.5 on and downloaded 8.0 thinking it would update over it. But that failed. So, I uninstalled 7.5 (admittedly, I did not turn it off first. Then I downloaded and installed 8.0 free edition. At this point, it seemed to work just fine. I had to uninstall it a week or so later (we won't go into those details) for reasons other than it not working properly.
I then proceeded to download 8.0 free edition once again. So, here is where it all went bad: It downloaded fine, it did its first update fine, it restarted itself fine. However, when I shut down the computer and then put it back on, Vista got caught in a loop - getting as far as the Windows Password/Login menu and then looping back to the initial start up process. The only way to get out of it was to use the F8 function and choosing Use Last Good Configuration. I then turned off AVG and Vista still got caught in the loop. I had to completely uninstall AVG for the computer to shut down and then start up normally. I really hate my parents' computer being vulnerable with no anti-virus on it currently. Not sure what to do. AVG will not help me because its a free edition (even though I use other licensed products of theirs) and I've found no help in their user forum.

Windows 7 release is nigh, and of course Windows Vista will still be supported, but until when? Well, I know that Windows XP will be ditched in April 2014, when will Vista stop being supported?

Microsoft has released new Language Interface Packs for Windows Vista. The LIPs can be applied to all Vista editions as long as the parent language is supported. These language packs are not Ultimate extras. Some restrictions apply to Vista Starter. Also, new LIPs have been released for the Office 2007 products.

I bought a PC with Vista Home preinstalled. Needed Vista Business. I had to format the drive to get it to install. Now, after working fine for 3 months, when I try to upgrade to Office 2007 Vista stops the installer service and pops up a message stating that "this is a beta copy that is no longer supported by Microsoft, please upgrade".

I just installed Windows vista 32-bit and it won't let me adjust the resolution and some programs are not working when I go into programs with graphics it says "Game is running in software rendering mode: Hardware Acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that the hardware acceleration is turned on." As far as I can tell it is turned on. I updated my generic PnP montior and my SGA video drivers. I don't know what else to do. Anyone have any ideas.

most sites i go on inc all game sites wont load they say i need a flash player...so i i have tried about 100 times to install using all different links but each time i get a messege which reads.... Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems. Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system.
Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We have not yet announced timing or release dates. this is very frustrating as i just can't use the internet hardly at all!!! Do i realy have to wait for the new flash player or is their a way around this?

Everytime when I boot up my laptop, the Firewall and Malware Protection under my Windows Security Center section are constantly turned off. I can turn them on manually, but they will occasionally switch back off again. I'm assuming it's some spyware or something, but all my scans have come out clean. Aside from that, another issue in the Malware Protection area is under the Virus Protection section. It shows me the following message: "Windows Live OneCare is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported. Use the
program's automatic updating feature for an updated version."

My friend with an HP laptop using Vista (version unknown) burned a file named Anniversary Video Final.mswmm onto a DVD_R for me. The file size is 2.89mb (that's mb-not gb). As I expected, my 3 year old Dell running WinXP SP3 won't play the file. The WMM on this machine (v 2.1.4026.4) says the file is not supported. Okay-that's fine...but the XP box could "see" the file. Then I took the disc over to my 1 year old Dell running Vista SP2 (WMM v 6.0.6002.18005). This machine cannot even see the file. I tried typing in the file name and it still won't find it. Yes the drive in the Vista box is a DVD drive-it reads other CDs-DVDs just fine (so far). This same machine while booted in Ubuntu could not read the disc (gave error message "invalid mount option").
Is there any good reason why the XP box could mount the disc and the Vista machine could not? Is it worthwhile to try and burn a copy of the disc on the XP box, or should I ask my friend to burn another disc for me?

I got a Creative Soundblaster Audigy Se soundcard. Vista recognized it, but everytime I try to install its drivers, the setup its unable to detect a supported product. If I try to install its driver throught device manager, Vista dont recognize any file as valid. I already tried all PCI ports, modded drivers and even reinstall Windows. No progress at all!
