Are Drivers Available for Windows Vista Beta

I have a Audigy 2ZS platinum sound card and can not get it to work with Windows Vista Beta . Does anyone know where I can obtain drivers for this OS, or is there ant work around for this problem?
Thanks for any help, Li'vermaggot

Thanks for your answer John. I reworded my search last night and found the same post. I emailed Creative Developer Network as was suggested at the bottom of the post and received the info from Creative today. Basically, XP drivers will work with Vista, however 3D and a few other items will not work with Vista until Creative comes out with beta drivers for Vista.
I would imagine that Creative will wait a bit before developing or releasing drivers as the Enterprise version of Vista is the only one near general release for next summer. At this time Microsoft still does not know what retail versions will be released, ie: Home, Pro, Media Edition...
Thanks again, LM

Anti-Virus Software for Windows Vista Beta 2 Preview-

As many of you with MacBooks and MacBook Pros are already installing Windows Vista Beta 2, you may have forgotten about Anti-Virus/Internet Security software. Microsoft is offering Free Anti-Virus and Internet Security software from it's partners that work with Windows Vista. Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/windowsvistabeta2.msp x
The Trend Micro looks a bit more promising, as it is their Internet Security Suite, and not just the Ant-Virus, as is from eTrust.
I will be installing this onto one of my Windows Machines soon, and will post back on how they work. Hope this helps anyone installing the Windows Vista Beta Preview 2.

Hi SkipHaughay,
As far as I know Parallels does not support Windows Vista at this time. Vista must be installed over Windows XP on Boot Camp. IF you do install through Boot Camp, I hear that everything works except for sound and wireless I believe. Hope this helps.

Are there previous versions of icloud control panel available for Windows Vista x64?

I have had icloud 2.1.3 running on my pc for years (up to tonight). I uninstalled it from my computer in hopes to update the software. Unfortunately, I learned that the latest version of the icloud control panel is only compatible with Windows 7/8. I contacted Apple support to re-download the software and I'm being told that there's no way to obtain a previous version. ***? Does apple honestly leave consumers of their products high and dry like that? Wow!
Does anyone know of a trustworthy source to re-download previous versions of icloud control panel that are compatible with Windows Vista x64?

I does work, I also had it on my PC/Vista, but had to reformat and now I cannot find it....sheesh

ICloud available for Windows Vista, but not Snow Leopard???

I have Multipal Macs with the Core Duo chipset that can not run LION and no $$$$ to upgrade hardware right now.
WHY does Windows VISTA get iCloud suport but I who can't upgrade to LION do not?
I understand leaving out Leaopard, but SNOW too?

With the removal of Rosetta in Lion and the requirement for Lion in order to use iCloud Macs are no longer an option for poeple that need to be able to run older applications.
Many places bought Macs because they could run just about anything, Windows, Linux, PPC software, even Classic applications via Sheepshaver.
The big issue is the loss of being able to run PPC applications. Freehand, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Quicken to name just a few applications that will never be ported. People and businesses have huge amounts of documents in these formats. It's not stuff that is used regularly but it is files that need to be accessed and sometimes modified.
All these applications can run on a modern Windows machine as can iCloud but not on a Mac running Lion.
While I'm complaining... I setup a bunch of Macs, iOS devices and some PCs all on iCloud today. The loss of email account syncing meant I had to spend hours setting up email on each machine ( each device had just under a dozen accounts on it) instead of just one machine and having it propagate to all the other devices. Going to be real fun trying to keep email rules in sync on all the Macs.

Reader XI not available for Windows Vista. Why?

I have just tried to install Reader XI, but I keep being directed to Reader X. Looking at the Technical Specs. Windows Vista is not listed. An over sight? What is going on?

I have Reader XI on my Win 7 office computer. I have Vista on my home computer and tried different links to get to the Reader XI download page, but I too kept getting redirected to the X download page.
When I found the "previous versions" page http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ I tried inputing different OSs (XP, Vista and 7) and discovered XI is not available for Vista. Obviously the auto-redirect is due to Adobe.com detecting my OS.
I'm not overly concerned. I mean, ver X works fine for what I need it for at home. The only reason I came here (to the forum) was to find out 'why'.

IPod driver not available for Windows Vista ?

Hi,
I have upgraded my PC to Windws Vista. Tne main problem is that the ipod driver can't be found by windows.
How can I have my iPod work on Windows Vista ?
Thanks in advance for any help !

I'm also successfully using Vista and the 5th gen iPod.
Syncing music was no prob, but I got the infamous "error (-50)" and an auto-disconnect the first time I tried to sync video. I did not have disk use enabled, although Vista kept asking me if I wanted to "scan and fix disk errors" when I connected. I remedied the disconnects by:
1) Open iTunes (without iPod connected)
2) plug in iPod
3) checked "enable disk use" and hit "apply"
4) disconnected iPod, then reconnected
5) opened video tab and enabled "sync all"
6) hit "apply"
No problems now, although Vista still wants to check my iPod when I connect.

Hp monitor drivers updated for windows 10

my newly updated Dell tablet (used in a docking station) can no longer detect my HP Pavilion 23 and 25 bw monitors. . .the hp website says that updated drivers are not available for Windows 10. . .when is HP going to make these available for Windows 10 upgrades????

Drivers for 7 do not exist for almost everything out there that is not natively handled in Windows 7. The monitor should have Plug and Played?
If you still want to pursue happiness you can try this (you are on your own because this is a release candidate):
1. create a system restore point to go back in case you don't like how it turns out.
2. Download the "XP" sp31061 to get to the inf (and ICM if you use it).
3. Start the install but halt the install process when the HP Display Installer opens, and open the following path: C:\swsetup\Monitors\SP31061\64bit
4. Inside you should be able to find a 32 and 64 bit inf that you can right-click on and install. HP_vs19x64.inf

Issue with GEAR Software CD/DVD Drivers + Windows Vista Beta 2 (build 5384)

I am using Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), and yes I know Vista is NOT officially supported by iTunes yet. However, iTunes installs and works ok for me, except that there is an issue with the GEAR Software drivers that it installs (used for cd burning and importing). The issue is that the driver (GEARAspiWDM.sys) is not compatible with Windows Vista. Normally this would not be an issue; I would just use a different program to create audio cd's. The issue is that the drive makes both my DVD-Rom and my DVD/CD-RW drive disappears (they are still listed in the device manager, but they have driver errors, code 39).
So I was wondering if anyone in Mac/Apple land knows of a way to disable/uninstall the GEAR drivers so I can still use iTunes?
And yes I did search the GEAR Software support page, but could not find an appropriate solution.
Thank you.
Chuck Stewart

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available FREE from MS

Ok who wants to try to run this with BootCamp ??? I am guessing it should be fine as its a release for x86 CPU (Intel).
Heres the link:
http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x86/download.htm
Update: Direct Link for Beta 2:
http://download.windowsvista.com/dl/preview/beta2/en/x86/iso/vista5384.4.060518-1455_winmain_beta2_x86fre_client-LB2CFRE_ENDVD.iso
Its a 3GB ISO image which means you will need to burn the image to a DVD on completion...
For the Windows Vista Beta 2 activation key:
http://bartysblog.be/content/get-your-windows-vista-beta-2-keys-early
I am not too sure how getting the product key works - I am sure someone out there can work it out !!!
Dont shoot the messenger !

Excellent ! Thanks for the heads up Nick.
I tried it in 'Image Mode' on Parallels (using the ISO as the boot image) and it definitely starts, but halts at an unknown USB device error. I disabled all the devices in Parallels - but no joy.
I am not in a mad rush to do it anyway - might try with BootCamp some time.
Did anyone get a result with the activation key via the SECOND LINK I provided (registering with MS ) ???
Once the mad rush subsides, heres some links to different language versions etc:

Heres the instructions for BootCamp and Vista taken from the forum in a prev post: (attempt at your own risk)...
Installing Vista works fine without erasing your OS X partition. Here are some instructions I used that worked perfectly.
"1) Boot to the Vista DVD.
2) When I got to the "Choose a drive to install to" page, pressed "advanced" (or "more drive info" or whatever it's called).
3) Selected the first partition (200MB unknown partition), this was the EFI partition.
4) Pressed "delete."
5) Selected the Windows partition to install to.
From there Vista took about an hour to install on my build. After the first reboot it came back with a "Could not find Winload.exe" error.
To fix that, I booted to the DVD again and selected "recovery options" - it said "Your startup information is invalid, click Repair And Restart to fix it".
On the next reboot it worked fine."
Taken from this thread: http://forum.osx86project.org/index....ic=14448&st=40
NOTE: The Boot Camp drivers CD will not install properly so the wireless networking won't work out of the box. The regular ethernet driver works straight out of the box with Vista as well as the graphics driver, sound, bluetooth. You need to extract the drivers manually from the setup.exe in the boot camp disk to get the wireless networking driver, brightness control and CDEject.exe or whatever it's called. The startup control panel will also need to be installed manually. At least that is the case for the iMacs.
Note #2: Deleting that EFI partition will make it so you can't erase the windows partition from withing the boot camp app in OS X. You would need to restore the EFI partition manually if you wanted to do that.

Drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit on Satellite L300-1AM

When I can get drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit? Or I need to intall 32-bit drivers on my 64-bit Vista operating system?
Please links ;)

[Toshiba - Download Drivers|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
In the Drivers Search Page (the link above) select these filters:
_Product type:_ +Notebook+
_Family:_ +Satellite+
_Product Series:_ +Satellite A Series+ (don't try the L series if you want to find anything useful)
_Operating System:_ +Windows Vista 64 Bit+
_Country:_ +World Wide+ (you have to select this in order to get rid of those multiple country options available for the modem)
_Language:_ +English+ (obviously)
Don't modify any other filter. The results will be about 100 (maybe more, but the site is set to show up to 100 results).
Advices:
1. Download the latest versions only (there's no point in downloading multiple versions of the same driver, yet they will be shown in the search results area)
2. Download what's specific to your laptop only (network - RealTek, both wired and wireless; chipset and graphics - Intel; modem - Toshiba; webcam - Chicony; there's no point in downloading anything from otehr vendors - except maybe the touchpad, but Windows can handle it properly without aditional drivers)
3. Don't download any BIOS or Firmware file; they might not be for your notebook, and installing the wrong ones is a sure path to screwing up your notebook (and losing the warranty); if you need them upgraded, go to the download page for your specific model, Windows XP or Windows Vista 32 Bit drivers (since they are OS independent anyway)
Toshiba utilities (DVD Player, ConfigFree, etc.) should be OK too (again, download the latest version only).
BTW, I own 2 Toshiba notebooks (L300-1AM and L300-1AN; quite similar, the differences are in HDD and CPU only) and I had the same problem: no 64-bit drivers (and the same "support"). Quite strange the idea that Toshiba is testing these 64-bit drivers before releasing them (according to a previous post), since the same drivers, for the very same chipsets - but installed on other models - are available. Windows Vista 64-bit is out on the market for nearly 2 years now, the production of these models has already been stopped (and I assume they have not been produced during one night only :) ), yet they had no time to test the drivers... High-class support from Toshiba!

Does hp-v40,all in one is supported by windows 8? are drivers available?

Hi,
Based on the following, no more support from Vista ages that means at least 6 years:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6063...
With luck, Windows 8 can find a generic, basic driver for your machine to print. Otherwise it's time to buy a new printer.

[Athlon64] SATA drivers for Windows Vista!!

Hi there
Does anyone know how and when MSI will release SATA drivers compatible with Windows Vista 64?
The ones provided for XP 64 dont work
Please help

People, Windows Vista is only in a first beta-testing state. It's not officially released to the main public. I don't know if you guys signed up for the beta-testing group at Microsoft ... if you did: you should ask them for help or give feedback on the fact that these drivers aren't there in the beta-release!
You cannot expect MSI to release these drivers already, since this beta has been out for only a couple of days. I think that people at MSI, VIA, etc. are using this release to write the aproppriate drivers!
