• CD\DVD will not work. Vista Home premium, 64-bit. Message says: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  I downloaded the drivers needed from the Dell site and the burner will not work. The computer was again in March 2009. Not sure where the drivers should be located. I downloaded on: win\syswow64\drivers\afc.sys. I've looked everywhere and tried to find a dialog box offering the option "update drivers" for this device. Could not find a way to do except Dell and that doesn't seem to work. The 64-bit system has no 'Device Manager' that I can find. When I look at the properties of the burner, the link to "find a solution" is not highlighted.

  Hello DanHenry,

  Try the miracle solution at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 but before you uninstall all third-party software (example: Nero, Roxio, iTunes). You can reinstall your software after you reboot your system. Please let us know if this helped you. Make it a great day!

• My computer just watched run so slow & then the message continues to come does not, I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a Sony VAIO

  This just started about 2 weeks ago and it starts as soon as I opened my browser and it does matter not what browser I use. I have also a lot of page up latch and do ctrl alt del out of there because it crashes my cursor and we can do it all. I ran Microsoft Security Essentials to search for viruses and it came back clear, I did a disk cleanup and I cleaned my computer with a program I have and none of it helped. So if someone has something they know who can help, I would be very grateful.

  Hello

  No security program finds all so do a thorough check of the malware.

  You say you "cleaned up my computer with a program I have.

  We recommend that you use that you use a registry or a program of cleaning/TuneUP/utilities, because they can do more harm to your any good operating system that they claim to be able to do.

  Search for malware, if necessary using the safe mode with networking.

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

• Re: Satellite L300D-13s - WiFi does not work with Vista

  I have a L300D-13s that came with Visa Home Premium on it.

  His work very well outside the wireless that refuses to work.
  I always "Wireless Association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.

  The wiresless is a Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802. 11b / g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapt
  I am running the latest version of the BIOS and the 6.1148.924.2008 drivers dated 2008-09-24. If I use the latest drivers on the RealTek site, I get a message about an unknown error.

  If I use the NETWORK Ethernet card, then he gets a fine IP address so this isn't the show indicator to publish.
  Its not wireless security (I understand that Vista does not support WEP 128 bit). I turned off and it still does.

  Other laptops running XP connect correctly and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP so I boot Linux.
  If the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the drivers.

  If someone has solved this.

  And no - don't tell me to go out and buy a router "Vista compatible".
  If Vista does not work with router XP and other operating systems compatible with Vista is wrong.

  Hello

  > Other portable XP connect correctly and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP so I boot Linux. If the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the drivers.
  I would say it is not a Vista problem or a Realtek driver problem because I have a Vista and Realtek WLan card and I can connect properly to my router.
  In you case, I would say that there is a compatibility problem between the router and the Vista because as you said the laptop can connect properly using Linux.

  I have goggled a bit and could solve most of the people who have had this issue, update the firmware on the router s.

  Maybe you should try that too.

  Hey tprefling,
   
  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
   
  Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
   
  See if you are able to play the game.

  If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.
  
  To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
   
  Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
   
  1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
   
  2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
   
  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
   
  4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
  Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
   
  5. click OK and then click on restart.
   
  For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:
