Wrong IDE Driver for Vista

The MS Vista SiS IDE Drivers posted for the MB "655 Max HT Ready" @ here:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=424&kind=1
... ARE WRONG!!!
Actually the driver version is vR2.03 which was created to be compatible with Win2000/XP BUT NOT VISTA!.
Do not dare to install that driver on ur MB, once it's installed it will KILL ur OS (MS Vista). You wont even be able to access the OS in safe mode, it continues throwing a BSOD that appears some micro-seconds then it reboots automatically the system.
The people on charge of posting the drivers should be extra careful be4 posting them. It could lead a person to loose all his/her info by only trusting in the drivers posted @ manufacturer's OFFICIAL SITE!
THESE DRIVERS SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY!! (before it causes more serious damages in people's systems).

Well the driver date is clearly labeled 2002, which ought to have raised a little curiosity or suspicion by any observant person.
You are totally right also. But that date is refered clearly to the OS stated in the info (OS: Win2000/XP)... so could be the case that by some reason they forgot to clarify the different version for "the 1 released" for Vista.
In addition, as u can check in a glance, the size of both files is different, which could lead to reinforce my previous theory (they forgot to clarify the driver version for the 1 released for Vista).
Quote from: tcsenter on 02-March-07, 08:18:53
There is no IDE driver available that is newer than the one already included in Vista for your SIS chipset.
Yea unfortunately, I discovered that after damaging my OS. But fortunately I had backed up the OS (by creating an image).
I mainly created this thread for saving other's people work/life/files ... since I was already saved!

Still no working driver for Vista

Heck, at this rate we may be up to RC or RC2 before a working driver is released. I stated in another post that I would not post anymore on this board until a working driver for Vista was released, but was shocked to see that the driver for my Audigy 2 has not been updated and the release schedule still states TBA!!!
For those who are interested, the Vista Transformation Pack #4 provides the best of both worlds. A very similar look to the Vista GUI and the updates, drivers and support that Windows XP offers.
Honestly, why spend over $00 for a sound card and then lose most, if not all, of its functionality just to say that you are running Vista. I know that Vista is neat, but it is a resource hog and who wants to use their motherboard's onboard sound?

Actually the latest Audigy 2 ZS driver for XP works on my Windows Vista Beta 2 build 5456.5.
I've since reactivated UAC, but not driver signing since several drivers are unsigned.
But disabling UAC got my whole Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Creative cd installed, with the exception of the DVD-Audio Player. I then installed all the software updates (except the DVD-Audio), and then the latest driver for XP and the AudioConsole that is part of the install. I did need to run the driver setup twice and let it reinstall AudioConsole over the one it installed the first time.
All works except Soundfont Banks. They don't load, the Soundfont Bank Manager will keep trying to if I start it, but it's a no go. Windows uses only the Microsoft Roland Midi Synth (but it works).
All EAX stuff in AudioConsole works. The software from the cd works too, but since alot isn't being used they're mostly useless. I just use Windows PlayControl and Creative AudioConsole to control stuff.
There's a problem with Windows Media Player where visualizations only play with cd's, but not mp3's from the hard dri've. If I toggle the Audio Quality from, say, 6/44,000 to 6/48,0000 (where I leave it), then the visualizations will show for one song then deactivate again. Kind of given up on it as I'm not about to toggle that and reset everything for every song.
Haven't messed with MediaSourcePlayer yet, except to open it and turn off all the remote control stuff.
Played some games, some music, some DVD's. Stuff sounds fine. When I plug in my headphones it switches my 2. speakers off correctly.
I did need to install PowerDVD 6 Deluxe to get commercial DVD's to play. (Adult movies played fine as they're not copy protected.) Weird DRM error in WMP when it tries to play normal Hollywood DVD's. But PowerDVD plays them fine. The PowerDVD 7 Upgrade removes 6, then fails to install. So I needed to reinstall 6, then update it to 2003e again. It works.
So, it'll be nice to get drivers and software that completely work but until then the XP drivers and most of the software does work.

Tecra S10-106 - 3G driver for Vista Ultimate 64bit

Hello,
I am owner of a Toshiba Tecra S10-106. Due to the fact that Vista Ultimate 64bit is much faster as Vista business 32bit, I would like to use Vista ultimate 64bit as operating system, but I can't find the 3G driver for Vista 64bit. All drivers can be downloaded from USA in english and can be used in german, only the 3G driver is missing. Can somebody else send me a download link or tell me where I can find a suitable driver for Vista 66bit?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
To enable the card you will also need to install the 3G RF Power control utility which is here at http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/3grf-en-20090217134719.zip.
That is only half the story as I think you also need to install the Value Added Package here http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-en-20090217134137.zip as this then enables the hotkeys to turn on and off the 3G wireless card.
Hope that helps.

Phil

Compatibility of graphics driver for vista with xp

I have a HP Pavilion a6320in desktop. It came installed with Vista OS. I have now installed Win XP. Will the graphics driver for Vista: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 420, 6150 LE, 6150SE nForce 430, 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i and 8200, also work for Win XP?
This question was solved.

I had simply pasted the name of the graphics driver from the HP download page, that's why the names of all the differing devices appear.
I had replaced the original motherboard MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) with ECS GeForce6100PM-M2. I tried installing winXP, but the graphics were hazy and performance very slow. Somebody suggested I need to install the graphics driver. Will the graphics driver you suggested work?
OK.
Now that is new information that you should have shared earlier with us.
You need to use all of the drivers that are available at the ECS website for the ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 motherboard. Do not use the HP drivers for the replacement motherboard.
FYI ..Once you replace the motherboard with a different brand than delivered your desktop PC ceases to be an HP desktop PC.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

Hello,
I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
Anybody has the same issue?
Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Windows Vista nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.

Laserjet 3100 driver for Vista OS

Need help finding a driver for my Laserjet 3100 on Vista OS
Thanks

DA61--
Here's another idea, with a caveat.
**I do not know if it will work. Please create a restore point on your PC before attempting this.**
Here is a link to the download page for the LaserJet 3200. It is a later version of the 3100.
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=60706&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=2093
Please let me know if you try this and how it turns out.

Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT Driver for Vista

Hi mac-world!
I'm using BootCamp to start Windows Vista on my Mac Book Pro. I recently bought a seperate TFT-Display from Belinea, which I connect to my Mac Book via DVI. This isn't a Problem while using MacOS, but in Vista I can't adjust the resolution of the seperate Display to more than 1024x768 px. I already installed the Belinea Driver, but that doesn't solve the problem.
I am wondering, if I maybe need a driver update for the grafic-card. Unfortunately, Nvidia doesn't provide a driver download, but says, I need to contact my Laptop-Vendor for this issue. I didn't find a driver-download section on this page. Does someone know a solution? Where do I get the new driver?
Thanks in advance
regards
Thorsten

In my case after going through normal Shut Down procedures, I
noted that after I go through normal shut-down-from-Windows, the machine does not power off. I can only turn off the machine by pressing the power switch for a few seconds.
When I do not press this switch, Windows restarts after about ten minutes;
after, however, I receive a brief report (which I never manage to read in full)
informing me that a software may not have been properly installed or that I
need a windows update.
This problem appeared long after I installed all the software that I use,
and I have checked whether I'm fully updated (I am).
Lately when I start-up after experiencing this problem, Windows indicates
that the problem is caused by an NVIDIA graphics driver and suggests that I
check for a driver update. I have tried the NVIDIA Website but there was no
reference to the graphics card installed in my machine, namely GeForce 8600M
GT - I only found a driver for GeForce 8700M GT.
I have since solved the problem as rerported in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492731&tstart=0
However, I stll wonder why there is no reference to 8600 in the NVIDIA site.

Missig Driver for Vista

I have an old Tungsten T3 and just bought a new HP with Vista home. I have download the new vista desktop manager. Everytime I try to sync the computer tells me it needs to look for a "driver" for a new device. My previous laptop also had vista and I did not have this problem. I am using a new USB cable. Could this be the problem? Or am I missing a driver patch?
Post relates to: Tungsten T3

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
By "new vista desktop manager" do you mean Palm Desktop 6.2 by Access? If so, that version is not compatible with the old T3.
If you go to the Palm Desktop download page, select your device and Windows Vista, it will lead you to a downlad of Palm Desktop 4.1.4E. This is the one you should try. Note, the Quick Install tool does not work with 4.1.4E under Vista, but normal data synchronization should.

Satellite A60-156: Where to find graphic driver for Vista

I've recently upgraded my A60 with new dvd, memory and hard drive.
Upgraded to Vista and all works perfect except i cannot find an upgrade for my display driver.
Just shows as standard graphics adaptor and i cannot get any 3d functionality on it even for Vista Windows games or screensavers.
Can anyone advise as to where I can get updated drivers for this function? Graphics card is ati radeon 7000igp.
Thanks.

What to say It seems Toshiba page doesnt provide any Vista drivers for this unit.
So you could try to use an graphic driver from the 3rd party website like www.omegadrivers.net
But note; these are not Toshiba drivers and therefore the drivers are not tested on the Toshiba notebooks. You can install it but only at your own risk.
Best regards & good luck

I have an 8300 a3 printer driver for vista not working

hi all
when i download the driver for the 8330 or 8350 for vista they dont work
when i opened the startup information is says 5100 series for windows xp does anyone have a solution for this
thankyou

Make sure your scanner is on. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners
If you've been using your scanner before the update, then you should see your scanner in the left-hand sidebar. (If not, you'll have to add it by clicking on the + sign.) Click on Open Scanner. It will scan, but I would rather not have to go to System Preferences to scan.
Solution - use application Image Capture, a default Mac app in your Applications Folder. Drag it to your Dock. Launch application. You will find your scanner under Devices. VOILA!
It's not the same Epson Professional scan window I'm accustomed to using. It's now a part of Image Capture. The Scan interface is much cleaner.

Speedy-33 Device Driver for Vista OS

Dears,
I have the Speedy-33 Kit and the DSP Module Version 2.5, I tried to install it on Windows Vista but it didnt Work (although it is Appeare under The Universal serial Bus on Device Managre), is there is a Special Driver for this Kit on Windows Vista?
Best Regards
Ahmed Abdulbaky

Ahmed,
I checked into the supported platforms for the driver and it seems that Windows Vista is not one of them. Is there any way you can downgrade to a computer running Windows XP? I think that's the only way you'll be able to use this toolkit. Best of luck, and keep a look out for version upgrades in the future. Have a great day!

Controller IDE driver for 6367 and WinXP

Hi,
I have install winXP on a pavilion with ms 6367 mainboard
I find the driver of audio, eth, .. of the nforce chipset but windows xp see the controller IDE like a Controller IDE standard.
Anyone Know where Can I find the driver for the IDE Controller?
I try all on the nvidia site and on msi site with no result

Your motherboard uses an nforce chipset. It appears that the motherboard was built for the OEM market. Here is a link for the nvidia chipset driver packafe that had the IDE drivers included. You need to get all bios updates Hewlett Packard site since MSI doesn't appear to list it on their site.
