Alright, so before upgrading to Vista I used Office 2003 with XP pro. I upgrade to Vista, and grab Office 2007 as well and am using Outlook to do my e-mail. Now for some strange reason, I cannot get Outlook to work with Comcast mail.

Pretty standard.

So I try for awhile, and it doesn't work. So I think oh, Outlook 2007 is acting weird, so I download thunderbird and... nope, that won't sync either. So, I'm thinking, ah, must have changed something in my router. So to check I go set up my e-mail on another computer running XP and.... it worked! So, now I'm thinking, ah, Vista and e-mail just don't work!

Some of my devices are recognised in one USB port and not another.
My USB printer only works when my USB wireless modem is not plugged into a specific USB port - my wireless modem only works in that same USB.
All devices were present during Vista installation.
I have 4 USB ports in a PCI expansion port - nolne of these work for most of my devices.
Can anyone offer a glimmer of hope and advise what I can do next (preferably not "try every device in every port")?

Hi guys I recently purchased a new HP Pavilion laptop which came with Vista Home Premium and I have been having constant drop outs and connection problems with my laptop and wireless billion modem/router (BIPAC-743GE). My connection strength is never above 60% - Always on Good connection, never goes up to Very Good or Excellent - my old Laptop which had Windows XP always had Very Good and Excellent connections. It also never had drop outs.

What I mean by 'drop outs', is that after a period of time being connected to the modem/router, my laptop will disconnect (not entirely) from the modem/router and I end up with a Limited Connection (Local Only). This happens after being connected for only 2 hours or so *the time varies every now and then* When I try to disconnect from the modem/router and try to reconnect, my laptop cannot find any wireless connections until I actually restart the laptop. Also, I am using the HP Wireless Assistant which came preinstalled.
