  • Keyboard/mouse drivers..

    Microsoft have released Version 7 drivers of the Intellipoint/Intellitype drivers for their range of keyboards and mice, and guess what? The scroll wheel on my Optical Desktop Elite keyboard is working properly for the first time in almost two and a half years. Yippeeeeeeeeeeee Apologies for the exuberance...

  • Vista and keyboard scroll wheels..

    I wrote about this when Vista first appeared. It took a while for the manufacturer to produce proper drivers for Microsoft keyboards, and when it was finally released, everything worked except for the scroll wheel. Subsequent driver releases were made, but the scroll wheel never worked. Up until now...

  • Vista 64 drivers..

    Whenever I have mentioned anything about installing a 64bit OS and compatibility, some have been very quick to say “no compatibility problems here’ What they actually mean is that all motherboard devices are detected. In some cases, drivers for peripheral devices are available, especially if the devices...

  • Add Bloat To Taste

    Actually, I hate the word 'bloat', but I use it now because it is bandied around quite a lot. According to sources, the next version of Windows will no longer include an e-mail client, picture viewer, and MovieMaker. It is said that this will benefit the user in as much as the latest versions...

  • Vista's 1st Birthday..

    The Delivery From the point where I knew that Vista RTM was on its way, I had a nerve wracking time in MS Connect. I had already downloaded Office 2007 earlier in the day, and was now pacing the floor, continually stopping at the screen to see if Vista was there. At maybe 21:00 hrs on the evening of...

  • Compatibility and Updates..

    Microsoft Office 2003 SP3 update has been released recently so, if you are running this version of Office, now is a good time to get it. The easiest way is to open Word 2003, click on HELP and then select 'Check for Updates'. Having arrived at the Microsoft Office Online web page, close down...

  • nVidia Video drivers 163.44 Beta..

    The nVidia video driver situation appears to be finally getting 'beta' with this latest release. I ran Age of Empires III last night, and while I did not notice more detail necessarily, the game ran smoother than it has done since making the transition from XP to Vista. I still only get a 3.5...

  • AC97 Sound Drivers - Vista 32bit..

    Just recently, I noticed that sound through my speakers and headset was a little 'buzzy'. I don't remember doing anything to make it so, no updates or anything like that but, suddenly listening to music was not a pleasureable experience. So I set off in search of drivers. The RealTek website...

  • Vista and Gateway Support..

    Every morning, I look through various RSS feeds, news and technical, and then I 'hit' the MS public newsgroups. News is often soul destroying, technical sometimes goes way over my head, and newsgroup material is it's usual baffling self, a combination of plaintiff cries for help and complete BS. RSS...

  • Canon Lide and Vista..

    Canon have now released an official Vista driver and ToolBox for the venerable Lide 30 (and all of the Lide range). The earlier XP drivers and ToolBox actually worked in Vista, and I notice that the version numbers for Vista and XP drivers are the same. However, it is reassuring to have 'official' Vista...

  • Vista OS Upgrades - General

    You should have no major problems as long as you do some research.. However, some drivers that have been supplied for inclusion in the Vista installation are still in their infancy.. this applies particularly to video drivers.. some are better than others, and you may well find that you do not have all...

  • Wireless Networking Part 2c..

    The good news is that D-Link Inc have every intention of releasing a Vista driver for the venerable DWL G132 USB LAN adapter............................ eventually. I would have posted the part of the e-mail I received that discloses this information, but I can't. I will however post this part of the...

  • Wireless Networking Part 2b..

    .. or in this case, NOT 2b.. The D-Link DWL G132 USB wireless LAN adapter has no native Vista support, no driver on the supplied CD that works, and no hint of a Vista driver on the D-Link home page. This is sad really, because the device is available almost anywhere, and will have been bought by owners...

  • Wireless Networking Part 2..

    When I promised to report on the aftermath of installing a D-Link DWL G520 (series B) wireless PCI card into a Vista machine, I fully expected to write in similar style as I did to D-Link support, having had nothing but trouble when installed into an XP machine. My friendly approach with D-Link in the...

  • nVidia driver update..

    DON'T DO IT! Don't update nVidia graphics drivers. It doesn't matter that you don't have full functionality with the basic driver that Vista first supplied (what am I saying?). It just doesn't, because the alternative is games that don't run well at all, jittery scrolling on websites, and any attempt...
