Vista Capable?
Hi everyone.
I purchased an HP/Compaq Presario with an AMD Turion 64 bit processor. I have installed the RC2 beta 64 bit on it and everythging seems to work except the sound and modem. Does anyone know if the RTM coming in January will support this or will use folks with supposedly "Vista Capable" hardware be stuck waiting for HP to get their act together? SO far there is no NEW news on the HP site and no Vista drivers at all. Thanks Edwin |

You get your drivers from HP, however long they may take.

Hi,
It'll be up to HP to supply supporting drivers, but sometimes you can find them from the component manufacturer. You might try them instead of HP if needed drivers are not in the RTM version. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Edwin E.

As you've been told, whether or not there will be drivers and whether or not
they'll run on any given version of Vista will be up to HP and/or the hardware manufacturer. Microsoft doesn't write any hardware drivers (except for their own hardware, mice/keyboards, etc) and there's no way we can tell you what HP is or is not planning. I would suggest contacting them for an answer. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

Thanks Edwin I have installed Windows Vista RC2 on an HP dv6045nr laptop, and the sound, modem and wireless are all working fine. You should have no problem on your machine. The only thing that does not work in my instance is the built in webcam, and the extra functions of my Logitech Media Play mouse. Honu |

Edwin, Vista RC2 is constantly upgrading their driver data base. When I first
loaded it on my 32 bit computer, I could not address C-Media sound Cards, A week later it downloaded the drivers and the 32 bit computer works fine. On my 64 bit computer, I had difficulties with Creative Audigy drivers that worked, if you play around They will install and work, Not many manufactors are making drivers for Vista until it is completely and Finally released, so I would suggust to do what I did, Dual boot and have XP and Vista on the same machine and use either o/S for diffrent requirementsd until Vista catches up...
