I have an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop. The laptop came with XP MCE and worked just fine. I recently did the Vista upgrade and the laptop really seems to be doing pretty well.

In device manager, there are no conflicts or devices waiting to install. I finally figured out how to get my wireless printer to work so all it mostly good. The laptop has a mundane feature of a webcam. I rarely use it and just find it 'nifty.' I did try to use it using whatever the photo dealy is with Vista and it seems to hang the program and I cannot end it unless I reboot.

The bottom line is; has anyone else gotten their integrated webcam on their laptop working that uses this Bisoncam?

Hi all. I have an Asus A2D notebook, with an ATi Mobility Radeon 9600. The stock Microsoft drivers fail to start properly, and hence I get no hardware acceleration. The Catalyst Vista drivers do not help, 7.2 installs, but also fails to work, while 7.4 doesn't install because it doesn't find a suitable chip. The only driver that gives me ANY 3d acceleration is the Mobility Catalyst for Windows XP. This works fine, (except obviously for Aero, seeing as it isn't a WDDM driver - which would be ok if it were the only downside), however I get a BSOD every time I shut down/restart/hibernate. Has anyone got the Radeon working on the A2D under Vista?

First of all here are my computer specs

AMD Athlon 64 processor
1 gig of RAM
Radeon x1600 video card
Asus K8V-X SE mobo
SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
running Windows Vista Ultimate

So after installing and getting all my drivers set up I figured I'd try out some games to see how they played. Well, most games are working fine, but neither Half Life 2 or Counterstrike Source have sound, and I really have no idea why. Sound works outside of those games, and it works fine for other games, so I don't know what the problem is. I also haven't been able to find anyone else who is having this problem, so any insight would really be appreciated.

I have a wireless lan PCI card and i installed and booted vista for the first time. installed flawlessly worked and i picked up my wireless network. I rebooted for whatever reason and my network was not being detected i checked the drivers in device manager and it had an exclamation mark next to the wireless card driver. I open it up and get error code 10 cannot start. So i start doing some research and find out everyone with this card on 64 bit vista has the same problem and one person's fix was to load windows in f8 mode disable driver signing enforcement. So i give it a shot and sure enough it worked.

Hi,
I want to buy a new PC with Windows Vista. I chose a 2,5 Core 2 Duo and 2GB Ram and 700GB. I think it is a good system for Windows Vista (isn't it?).
From a friend I heard that Windows Vista 64bit works better, because the System do not crach and works faster. But I also heard that some driver and software isn't working with the 64bit version.
What do you say, is the most software, Driver and Games working with the 64bit version?

And: Is every XP software working with Win Vista? (Because my french vocabulary software is for Win XP)

Hope for answers!
