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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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,

nvidia 6600 AGP card, which is driving the display, is ...

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 cant get RC2 to recognize my card. How can I compltely delete all traces of
the previous drivers to be sure this is a clean install?

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

ATI has posted RTM drivers for Vista I will be downloading them tonight.

My frustration with Vista has already begun. It doesn't recognize my NIC card
- I have tried two different ones. First I tried a D-Link card and then I
tried an SMC (I don't know the model number of either). Both were recognized

up everytime I reboot or boot.
Fix?
Thanks,
