Audio driver wasn't compatable with Vista which resulted in a Blue screen in
Vista on the 1st reboot...

Do you really need audio on that machine? If not, you might be able to
disable the audio chip in the BIOS so Vista won't try to load the
driver. It's only a matter of time until the proper driver becomes
available, and meanwhile you can use Vista without audio.
