Reinstall Vista Conflicting Drivers Would Not Activate Internet
Apr 24, 2009Anytime I do any major hardware upgrade on my computer, I reinstall Vista so I don't have conflicting drivers causing problems. I've had to do that 3 times in the past 7 months or so. (Been rigorously upgrading my computer, lol) This past time when I installed a new motherboard, it wouldn't let me activate over the internet. I had to go thru the task of calling MS for activation. Now is this going to be a problem for me down the road some. Are they going to say,"Nope we're not activating your product because we suspect you're installing vista on multiple computers" Which is completely untrue. I know I'm going to reinstall again at least once by the end of the year when I get my i7 processor, new mobo and ram. I really don't want to spend another 300 dollars on Vista Ultimate because MS won't activate my current copy of it.

Drivers Need Before Install Vista?
Dec 1, 2008Im currently running XP and Ubuntu, however I will be installing Vista x64 in the next few days instead of XP. What I need to know is what drivers I will need to get before I install Vista? Should I get all the drivers now and put them on a cd for when Vista is installed or shall I just install them when Vista has installed? Im not sure what the best way to do it is?
View 4 Replies View RelatedChipset Drivers Install Very Slow
Aug 7, 2009The situation is I first installed with all 6Gb, sata controller on Bios on AHCI mode, took around 2 hours to install, a first start after install took around 8 mins, when trying to instal chipset drivers (Intelchipset) took around 3 hours to complete, reformatted changing sata mode to IDE, same situation, reformatted and "just to check" installed XP 32 to my surprise took only 10 minutes to complete install, and no more than 2 minutes chipset
Network and sound drivers, recognized all 8 cpu's and 6 gb on RAM, worked just the way it has to; reinstalled vista, same old prob, restarted on safe mode and realized that crcdisk.sys took around 6-7 minutes kinda hung up, HDD led off, lighting up once a while, then completing start-up, went to look for some info on that file and learned about 4+ gigs issue, removed 4 gigs of ram, restarted and vuala, took less than a minute for vista to start, and worked the way is meant to, activated vista, updated to SP2, turned system off, renistalled whole memory, restarted and same old prob, almost 10 mins to start, restarted to safe mode, crcdisk.sys again, kinda stuck. Do you know any solution, Microsoft didn't give any solution unless I pay $$$ for support. (I already paid for original software and got no support)
Install Raid/sata Drivers With F6
Mar 11, 2009I have ordered a bunch of pc parts. I am positive that they are all compatible. They are all vista 64 compatible. I have already gotten all the necessary drivers from the manufacturers' websites. I have never loaded vista on a machine. So, having said that, here are my questions. After I put it all together, What do I need to do before I load vista64? I have 2 sata HDDs but I am not going to use RAID. Will I need to install raid/sata drivers with F6 during the installation? I am listing the main bits of the machine below. Will Vista's default drivers be enough for me to get going so I can use the drivers that I got from the manufacturers?

May 19, 2007I am unable to install drivers for the Serial ATA Controller that is displayed within the Device Manager and my HDD show up as an ST325062 0AS SCSI Disk Device. Even when I install the recommended driver for the Srial ATA Controller from the Windows Update website it still remains driverless. Now whether the following issues are related to this problem or not I am not sure, but I will state them here anyway.
After a certain period of time my entire system will freeze and I will have to reset my PC, although when I do it does not reset but powers down. This is continues if I use the restart command from the Windows Start Menu or automatically restart after the installation of a software package. This is extremely annoying. Having shelled out for the latest hardware in order to be compatible with Windows Vista 64 and then for this to happen is quite sickening.

View 5 Replies View RelatedFreezes After Factory Reinstall And Removal Of Win7 Install
May 15, 2010I own a Gateway NV52 that I purchased almost a year ago. Last month, I installed Windows 7 64-bit on it since I missed having Best Buy do the free upgrade. After the install, I re-downloaded and re-installed my old programs and somewhere during the process, the laptop keep freezing - just a black screen. It tended to happen when I plugged in my wireless mouse.
After trying to fix the issue for Win7, I gave up and re-installed Vista 64 from the Gateway recovery disks. After this fresh install, my USB mouse still seemed to be the issue, so I stopped using it. It seems to not be the problem, however, since it freezes randomly while in the middle of working in programs or idle and nowhere near transitioning to screen saver.
I've run antivirus and antispyware software and come up empty. I'm unsure what to do next, since Gateway tech support seems to be stumped as well. Are there any options I should check before breaking down and shipping this out?

Feb 15, 2008ever since planning on a new pc build i knew at some point that id want to install vista on it. Ive planned to get vista 64 seeing as i have a machine capable of running a 64 bit o/s with ease (when i buy my extra 2gb of ram along with my copy of vista) I have been doing my research on which of my games ill still be able to play & tbh the only ones that im remotely worried about are older than red orchestra so no problems there.
My only real concern is the drivers for my belkin wireless card (f5d7001uk) which doesnt have any vista 32 drivers! But ive heard a rumour that vista automatically installs the drivers itself?? Im also worried that some of the useful little apps i have installed wont install such as winrar, wavepad, deepburner pro 1.8 & punkbuster
Default Vista Supplemental Drivers Would Mean Loss Of Graphics Quality Compared To Using Up To Date Drivers On A XP OS
Oct 4, 2005While being satisfied by the cool effects and new interface of Windows Vista Codename Longhorn, many of us testers are what you would call "gamers." The lot of us would like to know if gaming on the default Vista Supplemental drivers would mean loss of graphics quality compared to using up to date drivers on a XP OS. For example, I installed Vista and then installed my trusty game, Battlefield 2. I tried using the new nvidia Vista drivers but the game kept crashing when I start it up. So I reinstalled the Vista Supplemental drivers and it happened to work. Quite interesting. I am able to run the game on default vista drivers and not the nvidia vista drivers. Coming to conclusion, would using the vista drivers result in loss of quality and graphics compared to using up to date drivers on a XP system? Or you can also rephrase it; Would gaming be better on the Vista Beta or XP? Does anyone know if SLI works on Vista?

View 5 Replies View RelatedDrivers Of Webcam: From X64 To X86
Feb 27, 2009There were some problems with drivers of a webcam I bought some weeks ago, but it wasn't serious, because I have the webcam of my lap. I don't know if this is related to using vista x64, but when I use Flip 3D, Live Messenger conversation windows don't appear in Flip, instead they appear in the background. I don't know if this is caused by using Vista x64, maybe it's a problem with Messenger.
This is my question: I'd like to try Vista Ultimate x86, and, as I have a machine with 2GB of RAM, could I experience any kind of troubles (in performance) using Vista x86 in my laptop? I'd like to know what kind of stuff I could lose because of moving from Vista x64 to Vista x86... maybe DEP? What else could I lose?
By the way, I use these programs frequently: VMware Workstation 6.5, Visual Studio 2008, MS Office 2007, SQL Server 2005... and other common programs (like WinZip, Adobe Reader, Live Messenger 9, etc). I don't use other programs (like Photoshop, intensive games or the like), and I have usually open, for example, VMware, WMP11 with Visual Studio at the same time.

View 8 Replies View Related64 Bit: Drivers Needed
Mar 23, 2008I have a new desktop that is compatible with Vista 64 bit. That would give me the use of the 8 GB of ram.
Two questions:
(1) Where can I get the drivers that would be needed for my computer to run the 64 bit version? I haven't started the machine yet, but would run it a while with the 32 bit version. I assume I would download the drivers, then install the 64 bit version.
(2) Is it correct that any programs or hardware compatible with the 32 bit version will run with the 64 bit version, even though there will not necessarily be any improvement in performance?
Cannot Find Any Drivers

Main problem is trying to connect to an external monitor: Viewsonic VA1912w. I cannot find any drivers which will let this happen. Earlier posts (some time ago) suggest that the connection was not possible but was expected to be feasible in the near future ie it should be available now.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMissing Vista Drivers And How To Get It
Apr 6, 2008When you have a relatively new OEM product (in this case an NVIDIA motherboard) and the computer manufacturer doesn't seem to care that you are missing Vista drivers, ultimately how do you ever get through to the company? Every time I put this desktop to sleep, when I wake it up there's no Internet connection. I must fully restart the machine each and every time in order to get an Internet connection.
(I'm running a cable modem situation in a home office. I do have a router, but bypassing the router entirely does not change the situation.) The manufacturer has confirmed that this is a motherboard problem (NVIDIA's nForce 680i SLI). More specifically, they say that NVIDIA has not released an updated Vista driver to correct the situation. This situation has been ongoing for at least 8 months. Because the motherboard is an OEM product, NVIDIA won't talk with me directly. The same is true for Microsoft.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWin 7: Wireless LAN Drivers And The TV PVR Card
Nov 14, 2009The system is a HP with AMD quad proc, COTS from BestBuy. Came with Vista Premium and is new, runs Vista OK after I turned off the power conservation sleep mode on the system. Turns out sleep/wake on Vista isn't always that reliable and messes up with Wireless LAN drivers and the TV PVR card. But setting the CPU to never sleep fixed all that.
I added a second disk, using a newer SATA disk, unpluging the primary existing disk as to preserve it. Using the recovery media I made earlier, I recovered the Vista OEM image to the new disk. Always like to know if those OEM recovery things really work. And I will say this, it is better than other vendors as it properly restores the recovery partion too.
Next to upgrade the system to Win 7 picking a clean install. I like clean installs as it doesn't carry the garbage forward including possible old driver issues. And it should give the OS a fair chance to run. Then installed drivers for the stuff Win 7 didn't recognize. Really it was just the keyboard and the PVR. Let the system settle in as Win 7/Vista have a propensity to do stuff in the background, waited until that seem to subside............
Drivers Are Compatible With The 64 Bit Version Of XP?
Mar 30, 2008I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 that came with Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 (Build 6000) installed. It has the AMD Athlon(t) 64 X2 Dual-Core Precessor TK-55. I also have a copy of XP x64 that I haven't installed on anything yet. I looked at the Dell support page on downgrading this machine, and there are a number of steps listed plus some drivers that I will need. Now my question is whether these drivers are compatible with the 64 bit version of XP?
I don't see any mention of 32-bit XP versus 64-bit XP on the Dell page devoted to downgrading. I used to work for Microsoft, in NT system development in fact, but that was a long time ago and I don't know anything about the 64-bit system architecture. I assume that my copy of XP x64 is compatible with the Athlon in my Dell because both have "x64" in the name, but even that could be wrong.

Apr 17, 2008I seem to have one of those 'bad' drivers that stop SP1 from updating via WU. I spoke to a tech support agent for MS last night and they said it's not the drivers that cause the fault, merely re-installing them after SP1 installs. I installed the SP1 standalone and have had no problems since. Is this a safe alternative to use? They also said this problem was with WU and would be fixed on the 18th of this month (April). Is this meaning I can get SP1 with the Creative drivers installed fine via WU?

Despite Troubleshooting; Updating All Drivers
May 7, 2008I am new to Vista, and definitely not in league with the pros, but I have gone through all the gaming posts, and followed the suggestions for downloading updates, especially the SP1. Here is my issue: Despite troubleshooting; updating all drivers; downloading and installing SP1, and performing all automatic updates, I still receive a critical error message regarding virtual memory, which crashes the game after the first level, when loading the second level of the game.
My system is a HP Pavillion dv9500; windows vista home premium 32 bit OS; AMD Turion 64x2 1.90 Ghz; 1938 MB RAM; I changed the compatibility to those recommended for win 95 games; have increased the virtual memory via custom settings to the maximum of (1938 x 3) allowed per system. I love this game, and really want to play it on my laptop, but at this time, I do not have any free money to upgrade or purchase or make changes in hardware, etc. Does anyone have a fix for this?
