Odd issue with taskbar menus...

Ok, I found the answer. I had to turn off all autostart features in Vista. The laptop was getting to the point where the active windows were blinking so much you couldn't even drag files away from one window to another. I hope this post helps someone in the future!

Odd issue with taskbar menus...

Hi All, On my wife's new Sony Vaio Laptop with Vista Business, she is having an issue I've never seen before. Whenever she clicks to expand the quick launch menu out (so you can see all of the programs), clicks the clock (on the lower side side of the task bar), even clicks to access the...

Viewsonic 24" LCD for 219.00 at Costco starting 2-9-09

I just got this yesterday.... Compared to my AGING Dell 1800FP (IPS panel) this thing is horrible. I've been messing around with settings for about 3-4 hours and haven't found anything that I'm comfortable with. If someone has a way to reduce the overblown, washed out colors please let me...

Vista or XP for gaming now

I play Vanguard SOH and made the move from XP to Vista. This was a mistake on my part. I cannot turn the sound on in game. If I do, the game will crash within 10 minutes of play. This occurs on both my desktop and my laptop. With XP, I had no sound issues at all. Also, I noticed an...

Nikon D40 kit with 2GB SD card $499 @ Costco

Actually, I think that $499 is a great price even for the camera alone... If you talking about buying it from a reputable dealer that is... Most reputable nikon dealers are selling this camera for $520+.

I have GMAC myself and the rate is now 4.90 APY. The .4% drop made me look at other banks, but nothing I've seen so far makes me want to switch.

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB $309 AR Free Shipping!!

I too am hesitant to jump on this for mplogics reason... You know they have a new product just around the corner because the 8800 has been out for like 4 or 5 months now. I remember 2 year ago when I bought my 7800, then like 3 months later the 7900 came out and the 7800 dropped like $50...

TiVo Series 3 for around $400 AR

After about 7 months of horrible comcast motorola DVRs, I went ahead and bought a Series 3 5 months ago. This was by far the best purchase in my home theater. The moto DVR was pixelating nearly EVERY saved tv show, and near the end it would actually playback 5 minutes of a show then give me a...

Accessing a secondary partition on a CF card

I saw this article already. I cannot see the second partition on the card... Like I stated earlier, when I went into the disk management system I saw the partition, but it did not have an associated drive letter attached to it. When I tried to assign it a drive letter, windows stated that it...

Accessing a secondary partition on a CF card

Hi, I have a CF card with multiple partitions, but when I insert the card into a USB card reader it only shows me the first partition. How can I access the 2nd partition? I can see both partitions in the "Disk Management" screen, but cannot assign a drive letter to the partition that I need...

Artec T14A Mini USB 2.0 Digital TV Tuner Retail ***Free Shipping***

No major software will support QAM until Vista comes out (I think it's due to lack of driver support in Windows XP). Take a look on avsforums for more specific information.
