Very good, BUT ...
Does Vista STILL require use of a floppy for third party drive controllers? After ALL these years, can't they at least get that right? "Tom Ziegmann" wrote in message m... Hello Beck, Added. Thanks.

Hello Guess,
I think you might be able to use a USB Flash Drive. In all the directions I have read they say to use a floppy disk.

I think you're supposed to be able to supply drivers on CD's or USB drives
too... haven't tried it on anything but floppy, cause I only have one seat for which I have to provide a SATA controller, and that seat has a floppy drive. I do have a PC that came without a floppy drive, so if I had to provide drivers during setup, I would then be trying the CD or USB drive option. Lang "Guess Who" wrote in message ...

Well... you can still get to the run box by hitting WinKey-R.
Also... the Start search box acts as the Run box... just type the exe or command you want to run and it will... Lang "Beck" beck@none wrote in message ... "Tom Ziegmann" wrote in message m...

"Guess Who" wrote in message ... Very good, BUT ... Does Vista STILL require use of a floppy for third party drive controllers? After ALL these years, can't they at least get that right? Amen! I wonder what these folks with newer computers that don't come with a floppy drive are supposed to do? Go out and buy a USB floppy drive for $30-40 that will be used once a year? Flash drives have been around long enough. It's time these *cough*promise*cough*asus*cough people caught up.

A slightly simpler way, imho, to disable UAC is:
Click Start orb Click the picture icon at the top right of the Start menu (your personal acccount icon) Click Turn User Account Control on or off. Click Continue if prompted. Check/uncheck Use User Account Control to help protect your computer checkbox to enable/disable UAC Click OK button. Lang "Tom Ziegmann" wrote in message m...
