Try driveragent.com for odd drivers. I have a Sony Vaio from Japan and couldn't find an English ethernet driver, but I found one on there. At our computer store we use it daily for any odd driver. It's not free but the subscription is invaluable to us as computer people. It's an ActiveX control that scans your devices and has a library of device codes for nearly everything.

If a component manufacturer makes something and someone else puts it on their board\in their machine, they are the responsible ones. ATI makes 64 bit Vista drivers, Dell does not have them available. ATI won't install because it's a Dell machine. There are many other drivers not available through Dell that are through someone else. Dell also doesn't have their software ready for this platform. There are plenty of device manufacturers that don't have the drivers, though. I don't buy the not having time to test... Vista betas and release candidates have been available to developers for a couple years. Vista release candidates were available to just about anyone else several months before release. They had time, they just chose to slack off since they could blame it on someone else... kinda like cable companies forcing their customers to digital systems and blaming it on the government's efforts to stop analog broadcasts. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Langseth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2007 1:26 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT......Question > Thats because in about a year, SP1 will be released and clear up the > major problems.
