17.11.2005How to identify a buggy device driver on Windows Vista
If your computer is acting unpredictably, locking up, and encountering blue screens of death, then youre most likely the victim of a faulty driver.
The Driver Verifier Manager (DFV) is a great tool for troubleshooting driver problems by identifying the troubling driver. Although DFV does not
actually fix the driver, it still is a really useful tool because it helps you identify the troubling driver so you can choose to delete or update the
driver.
Before you attempt to use this tool, please be sure that your are really having driver problems. The tool will prevent
your computer from starting by identifying the troubling driver. I say this only because it may be a lengthy process for you but if you are
having troubles, it will definitely be worth it.

24.05.2006EU Backs DVB-H Mobile TV Standard
On Monday, EU commissioners finally chose a mobile TV standard, preferring DVB-H, or Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds, the most widely used
mobile TV format in Europe, over rival standards such as Qualcomm Inc.'s MediaFLO and another known as DMB that is favored by Chinese and South
Korean manufacturers. DVB-H enjoys broad support among handset makers, including Nokia, Motorola, Philips, Sagem, Sony, Ericsson, Samsung and major
European cell phone operators Vodafone, O2 and T-Mobile; in comparison, MediaFLO's only support came from US companies Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
As a result of the commission's choice, EU nations are ordered to favor DVB-H to create economies of scale and get the nascent
technology off the ground. " They can do that by labeling, they can do that by promoting it in attributing licenses and so on, " said EU
spokesman Martin Selmayr. Of course, the impact of the EU's choice is limited: EU nations can choose to avoid making decisions favoring the format
and are under no obligation to eliminate other standards.

18.03.2008Windows Server 2008: Printer-Driver Packages
Day Twelve. We're almost halfway through our series. Today we'll continue on with our Printing theme - specifically, Printer-driver packages.
We'll also provide some background on the driver store feature of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Printer-driver packages
are digitally signed printer drivers that install all of the components of the driver to the driver store on computers running Windows Vista or
Windows Server 2008. Using printer-driver packages on a print server that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 enables users who are not
members of the local Administrators group to connect to the print server and install (or receive) updated printer drivers. Before we go too much
further, let's go over the concept of the driver store.

The three-in-one chip could theoretically be used

27.08.2008NVIDIA & Vista Driver News
No doubt NVIDIA's lack of
Vista drivers for their
hardware has been a heated
topic since the launch of the
8800 series. Well we have a
lot of good news tonight
direct from the mouths at
NVIDIA. NVIDIA has released
their "NVIDIA Windows Vista
Driver version 100.54"
tonight to developers,
testers, and reviewers under
an information embargo. So
obviously it will likely be
found online any minute for
your download. Some things to
note though.
This
driver is intended for testing
on GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS series
GPUs. This driver is intended
for DirectX 9 and DirectX 10
application testing in single
GPU only. It is not
recommended for NVIDIA SLI
testing. 3D performance of
this driver is improved over
Release 95 Vista drivers, and
is on par with Windows XP for
the top applications, with the
exception of OpenGL
applications. This driver can
also be used with GeForce 7
and GeForce 6 series GPUs,
though performance can be
slower on some applications
because we still have work to
do on our drivers.
