When you use the Microsoft Windows Media Player to synchronize lots of files with a Microsoft Windows Mobile device, the connection between Windows Media Player and the device is disconnected.

When you start Windows Vista for the first time, the operating system appears to stop responding (hang) for several minutes during the device installation phase. After this wait, Windows starts as usual.

The Windows Experience Blog posted this video that shows some of the new ‘Certified for Vista’ devices released this year .

When you run a Device Path Exerciser test on a full-speed USB device in Windows Vista, Windows Vista may stop responding. When this problem occurs, you may receive one of the following Stop error messages:

STOP: 0×000000FE (00000005, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER
STOP: 0×000000D1 (00000008, 00000002, 00000000, parameter4)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

This problem occurs if you connect the USB device to the computer by using a USB Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) host controller.

You may occasionally experience the following symptoms when you wake a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep:

• A Bluetooth device no longer works correctly.
• When you view the Bluetooth device in Device Manager, an exclamation mark in a yellow circle is displayed for the device. When you view the properties of the device, the status for the device reports Code 43. This status code indicates that Windows has stopped the device because the device has reported problems.

This problem occurs on a system in which a Bluetooth device is connected through a universal serial bus (USB) connection.

Note: Certain USB devices may be integrated into the system, and they may be connected to an internal hub. For example, a portable computer may have a single USB bus. In this situation, the computer may use an internal USB hub to provide two or more available USB ports on the computer.

When you open the Properties page for a sound output device in a Spanish version of Windows Vista, the text on the Mejoras tab may not appear correctly. For example, the Vista previa button may contain truncated text. Other text may also be truncated.

On a computer that is running Windows Vista, you view resources by type in Device Manager. When you expand Interrupt request, the interrupt request (IRQ) for one or more of the devices that are listed may appear as a negative number.

For more information about how to see the devices that are listed under Interrupt request in Device Manager, see the “More Information” section.

When you try to install a new hardware device in Windows Vista, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Device_Name

Because of this problem, you cannot install the drivers for the new hardware device.

In Windows Vista, a USB device may lose data if you right-click the device in Windows Explorer and then click Eject.

This problem occurs if the device uses the NTFS file system.

Note: This problem does not occur if the USB device uses the FAT32 file system. This problem also does not occur in Windows XP.

Consider the following scenario:

• On a Windows Vista-based computer, you are using a removable universal serial bus (USB) storage device such as a Secure Digital (SD) card.
• You click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area, and then you click Safely remove Device_name to remove the device.
• You reinsert the device.

In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it.
