Hold On!!! Let me adjust my hearing aid...OK I can hear you..CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???

I'm stationed in Africa right now and my new laptop has vista on it.I can't get Messenger Live to allow me to hear my wife or allow my wife to hear me. I have both a builtin mic and an external plug in mic neither of which are working. Is it...

So I hear people say that if you use the upgrade version to go to vista then you lose your cd key for XP, for one thing what exactly is the negative for this. If you have vista why do you need xp. Also I have an HP computer and it never came with an XP disc, everything I need for a system recovery is on a second harddrive that came with my computer, So the loss of a cd key wouldn't really affect me anyway would it. Also my computer isn't that old and it doesnt have that much of my stuff on it, so it wouldn't be a total loss if I needed to completely erase everything from my hard drive in order to install vista.

I'm sure people have experienced this in previous versions of Windows, you talk into your headset microphone and can hear your own voice, drives me crazy. In Windows XP, I was able to go into the sound volume mixer and turn the microphone volume down, which made it possible for silencing my voice from myself yet being able to have others hear me. However I can't find anything within Vista to do such a thing. Does anyone know of any ways in which I can mute myself from myself?

Hi Folks,

I'm looking at investing in a new notebook in a month or so and with Vista appearing on the market, I'm looking to run it on the new notebook. Thing is I'm not too sure how it would run on the spec I'm looking at , so if any of you could help us out it would be appreciated.

At the moment I'm looking at a Dell Inspiron 6400 with the following main specs.....

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5500 (1.66 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB)
1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x512)
256MB ATI® Mobility™ Radeon® X1400 HyperMemory™ graphics card
