I have a Systemax Windows Vista computer. I played on it when I was a little younger and it worked great. The issue might just be that it is older but everything else in the computer works quickly and well so I would rather not throw it away if I can fix it. Now I went to connect but it gives me no Wireless network options and says the Wireless Capability is off. I tried looking for a switch but could not find on. Tried f2 and fn+f2. Tried going to Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections, and making sure the Wireless Network Connection was enabled, which it was. Restarted Continue reading...

My headphones work but only through Realtek I'm not too knowledgeable in this so bare with me. I bought this Logitech G230 headset for my laptop. Specs at the bottom. When I plug it in, the audio comes through my headphones (quality is pretty bad) but when I go to the device manager, the headset don't show up. So I go over to the control panel, move to sound and hardware then select sound. It shows the Realtek® Audio speakers which the laptop uses on default, nothing else. I've selected "Show disabled devices" and "Show disconnected devices" and it still does not show up. I've assumed i Continue reading...

Hello, yesterday I reinstalled Windows Vista Service Pack 2 on my 2007 Compaq Presario Desktop PC and right now I'm going through the process of installing all of the updates to the OS from one of my USB Drives and I've come across update files that are not Microsoft Update Standalone Packages which I can't seem to find a way to install those cab update files more than one at a time.
