Problems with drivers
I've recently installed MS Windows Vista RC1 32bit; I've reported some
troubles I noticed with drivers I got before, working properly with previous Windows XP. First of all, audio drivers don't work correctly (Realtek AC97 on Intel 975i chipset): quad sounds come out from the same front speakers and rear speakers are silent. No way to set it up in sounds control panel 'cause jack-sensing function is disabled. What more, game port is not recognized. Then, my Natural Multimedia Keyboard's drivers (IntelliType 5.5) are not recognized by Vista: the result is that not all special and function keys are active (as the matter of fact, just a little few work !). Can anyone help my with those troubles ?? THANX ! My platform's description is following: Pentium IV 3.04 GHz HT - 1 GB DDR RAM - M/B GA-8KNXP Gigabyte 875P chipset |

Problems with drivers
Microsoft supplies that which the device manufacturers supply to them for
inclusion in the Vista DVD. You will have to wait for the device manufacturer to get off his dead *ss and supply competent drivers. This will not likely happen until Vista is released to manufacturing (RTM). -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

Thanx for your reply !
So, I have to resign to wait for new drivers. My problems with Vista keep staying and, what more, are growing... it's difficult to test it with a non extremely recent machine; even S/W make troubles for compatibility reasons. We'll see. By the way, where could I find competent drivers for my MS keyboard if Microsoft itself don't distribute them ?? |

I'm sure Microsoft will eventually update their drivers.
Be patient! -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
