Hi! I have an Asus P5B, Vista 32Bit Home Premium. I have something connected to the eSATA port. When the system boots the BIOS sees it fine. Vista however, will not recognize it.......everything is proper in the BIOS, as the BIOS sees it upon boot. The P5B uses the Jmicros controller. That should be up to date. Additionally, this is hooked to an external enclosure, Xtrastore 3.5".....

I installed the software & followed the installation instructions (I thought), but the wireless mouse & receiver (which the system reports is working normally) doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi I have just bought a new Vista Business laptop. Every flash card I insert into my USB ports does not work. It says it has to install driver software then searches.

I have searched producer sites (eg Sandisk) to download drivers but they don't seem to...

My Dell XPS 600 was having video problems when booting so they replaced my motherboard and video card, but now I can not get the NVIDIA driver (released by NVIDIA on June 1, 2007) to install correctly in Vista. The Device Manager says "This device can not find enough resources that it can use (Code12)" Any idea what may be going on? Think a Vista reinstall will fix the problem? Regards,

When I plug in my ImageMate 5 in 1 reader, Vista reports it can't find the drivers. It also mistakenly identifies it as the ImageMate 9 in 1 reader. I've gone to the SanDisk Web site, and there's nothing about any driver updates for Vista. Technical support says I need to contact Microsoft for a Vista driver, but I have a feeling Microsoft will tell me to contact SanDisk. This card reader...

I thought I posted this yesterday but I don't see it. Sorry if this gets posted twice. I have Vista Enterprise with 4 gigs of ram. I have 4 sticks of 1 gig each. Vista only sees 2813.

Do others out there have 4 gig...

Why was it necessary for Microsoft to require new drivers for our hardware devices? Were older drivers a source for hackers to exploit? One of the most frustrating problems faced by PC users is not only finding the correct driver for a hardware device but also finding the latest driver version. It would have been slick if Microsoft came up with a feature that could not only convert an older...
