ATI has posted RTM drivers for Vista I will be downloading them tonight. https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=5712 -Bob

hi, What does it mean "Vista will be HAL independent"???? even if we provide HAL to vista, will it discard the given HAL???

I posted another question about this earlier, but I think my choice of wording may have scared people off. Anyhow, I have an older Gravis Eliminator Aftershock game controller that has software which allows it to act like a Mouse, Keyboard, a Direct X game controller or any combination of the above. It works great in XP Pro, but i can't get the drivers to load properly in Vista RC1.

I am running VISTA/Beta2 and IE7. My display is screwedup and doesn't show certain backgrounds on webpages (such as the background on the main VISTA page) I'm also having display issue with colors. I am running a Radeon9250/256/ with the latest IE7 for VISTA. Is there display settings for IE7 that I am not aware of?

Ive tried all the drivers on netgears site and as you say they dont even support 64bit drivers. The other problem is I am using an acer 5020 laptop and it has built in broadcom wireless networking with vista installed I cant even switch this on. without vista installed works pefectly. I didnt think I would have any problems with wireless anyone any ideas please.

When I am using a emulation device such as Alcohol 120% to install and run software windows overrides the default drive letter for the cdrom. The software will always look to my "real" cd-rom drive and not the drive it was installed on. I have tryed switching the drive letters around and the software still points to the the real cdrom drive letter. Is there a setting to restrict windows from...

I have only just installed Vista RC1 and everything works apart from the sound card. I've tried using the XP drivers but Vista says that they're not compatible. I've tried several different downloads claiming to be the right driver but I've so far had no luck. Can you help me?

I am getting a warning message that is titled Creative Audio Driver. The message reads: This driver you have installed will timeout... What is a driver time out? How do I resolve this?

This one has me completely stumped. A clean install of RC1. Upon loading, it lets me set the correct default resolution for my LCD monitor (1280x1024, at 32-bit color). Everything (except Aero) displays correctly. But my nvidia 6600 AGP card, which is driving the display, is nowhere recognized. There is no "Display Adaptor" listed in Device Manager. When I access "Display Settings," I...

My Soundblaster Live! card works with XP but when I boot thru Vista, it says NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED and I get no sound. A "Multimedia Audio Controller" is detected by Vista however the driver installation programs (both Vista's and Creative's) do not recognize it as Soundblaster Live! So they never manage to install the drivers. Thx for trying to help.

Hello. My name is Pôncio Pilatos and I live in São Paulo, Brazil. My english is not good, but I'll try to do my best :-) I'm using Vista RC2 (English) and I'm having problems with Pixelview PlayTVPro Ultra. I put the board in my PC and Vista detected. I put the CD to install and after reboot, it's seems that is not fully installed.

Anyone having problems with ECS motherboards causing vista to not install or run unstable or slow. Causing hanging and freezing?

I have a network adapter in ULi1573 sorthbridge. Now, my Windows vista can drive my network adapter but there always a "!" in the front of the network connection icon. The time when I used windows xp, if I have set a fixed IP address ,the network connection will be all right. but in windows vista, whatever I set the address of IPv4, and disable the IPv6, the connection is always wrong. And...

I recently upgraded to Vista RC1 from XP MCE on my laptop. My laptop's internal CD/DVD-RW drive is a NEC 6500-A drive. However, since the upgrade, Vista now identifies my DVD burner drive as a "__EDD-WN-50-ATA Device" and it doesn't seem to read any DVDs, CDs, burned disks or anything. I tried uninstalling it in the device manager and let Vista re-discover it; same issue. Anyone have any...

I am using a laptop with a Realtek sound card, the devices show that the sound card is working but no speakers are plugged in. The system has not added the built in speakers or gives me an option to use them. If I use a USB headset then the sound works ok. Has anybody found a solution for this or know what the problem is?

Windows XP used a different HAL, that rendered many hardware security dongles useless. Our dongle, installed on LPT1, never had any issues, even with XP/sp2. vista renders our dongle useless, thus the software is useless (company no longer makes this package). Compatability mode does not remedy the situation. Has anybody seen this? Anybody have any ideas?
