Question from Michael P: How do I get a joystick recognized with Vista?
So I got a pair of joysticks off eBay that specifically said “Vista”, and neither my laptop or my desktop recognize either of them. Don’t see it in my device manager when I plug them in. A warning does pop up in my system tray saying it cannot recognize the new device. No driver disc came with them. Any advice?
Popular answer:
Answer by ELfaGeek
You have to identify the joysticks, by Make and model number, then go to the manufacturer’s website for the device drivers.
Not sure how to do that?
Call the seller and ask if he has the disk, or the Make and model number.

Question from Hailz: How to create a new wireless internet connection using windows vista?
I am trying to create a new internet connection on windows vista (manually). I am already connected to one but need to set uo this new one. I really have no idea. Any help will be much appreciated!

Answer by Mike C
Vista has network discovery that will find the new network. In the bottom right corner near the system clock there is a monitor, click on that and it will offer to show you the connection center where you can select the network to connect to then you will just need to give it the network key when asked.

Hi Jenna J,
You should first check with the facial software recognition vendor. Chances are they have support and downloadable content on their Website that will be able to help you with your problem, unless that problem lies between your hardware and the OS.
Hope this helps.

Question from Garfield: What issues have you encountered with Vista?
I purchased a new computer running Vista Home Premium, and it is faster, more efficient than my iMac. Does Vista issues occur in an upgrade? Because, I have had my desktop (Dell, amazing) for more than a month without it freezing or anything.
What problems have you encountered?

Answer by geohut45
I have encountered none
the only issue with vista is you have to have a decent system to handle it after that all your problems will never happen

Question from boo1978: What is the best book to help me learn Windows Vista?
I have recently bought a new computer, windows Vista, and now am trying to learn things. Im not computer illterate, but Im not computer savy either. I need a book, where things are explained well, and SIMPLE, but not something for dummies, I do know the basics. I see that amazon has several, and am just curious what is the best, most understanding book out there to help me with all the things vista can offer to someone who understands how to use it.

Can you rephrase the question? What is HB?
If you installed XP over a Vista OS, the User path is different. Try searching for a file you know was on the desktop.

Question from kellyj_l: How do you install windows xp on vista computer?
I have windows vista and I am trying to install an older version of xp which is 2002 but for some reason it says “Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.
Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be recovered.”
but there is nothing that says continue ,or to proceed with the action that i have chosen, so what do i do?
PLEASE && THANK YOU.

You’re going to have to wipe it and then continue, Microsoft doesn’t like people for going a step back in the Windows evolutionary chain – although really, I can’t blame you for running away from Vista. Microsoft isn’t going to make it easy for you.
