Tried downloading the Radeon Catalyst driver for RC-1 (32-bit) from ATI's site, but it wouldn't install. I thought that was the version I had. Anybody else have trouble with this driver? Where can I check which version I have (excuse my ignorance)? I suppose I could always just try the 64-bit, then the full version....but I'm lazy.
Never mind...it was the UAC that was interfering, but it wasn't readily apparent from the error message I was getting.
I have a NOOBish question.
when a mobo manufactor supplies X64 drivers, are these XPPro X64 drivers suitable for Vista?
My own limited experience tells me that Vista x86 booted fine into setup on an ITEraid array what needed X64 driver floppy for the OEM pro X64 I have here..
BUT... What if there is no natively supported driver, and the site has an X64?
are there issues with Vista for x64 drivers like with version Quality Lab driver signing policy?
Hey Bistro, we're the few still loping on the slopes of pentium mountain.
I perceive a tautology in core two 2, and pentium as a word is but gone?

As far as I know, most WinXP x64 drivers work OK in Vista, Jaak, but they do have to be signed. Vista x64 is rigidly enforcing a policy of driver signing, which may bring us some pain in the short term, but should lead to much better stability in the longer term, once the hardware manufacturers accept that that's how things are going to be.

I don't have a specific link because you need to input your model number, but Epson has drivers for their newer printers for Vista, and a statement below for their older equipment:

To add to what I posted about Epson printers. I just bought a new printer this week (Epson photo R260) and downloaded and installed the Vista drivers for it. No problems installing and the printer seems to work faster in Vista than XP.

Hi, Radeon now has video drivers on their site for the 9550 and others. Just installed one for the 9550 and it works great.
Cheers, mac:D
I have been sweating on canon x64 drivers for an mf3240.
I finally got an answer from canon us after engand and australia won't reply.
I quote
"Currently the MF3240 is only being supported under Vista 32. Canon is
currently evaluating the desire for 64 bit drivers among their customers
and will be releasing information in the near future, but we do not have
a specific timeline for when this will be made available. I recommend
checking the website www.canontechsupport.com for the most up to date
information"
The deisre for x64 among customers?
Mf3240 is a reasonably new product. I bought it in Febuary.
I have always been a canon user, not any more.
I am off to buy an Epsom. They have x64 drivers for everything.
I have no desire for canon anymore.
At long last some final version Creative X-Fi drivers are available, for x86 and x64:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/
Even with these there appear no be some non-functional bits though, see the accompanying details for more info.
Nick, I know another tech who has a creative card and said he used XP drivers and they worked in Vista better than the Vista drivers did.
Also forgot to tell you I got my logitech trackball to work right in Vista. Easy fix, I unplugged it from the PS/2 port and plugged into USB and Vista picked it right up as a Logitech trackball. Go figure, eh? :D
What a SUPERB idea.Quote:

Oh - hang on. Using their little prog, you need to have "premiumn membership" to get the download. Not so fabulous as I thought.
Still, good at the front page, not so good when you use their search prog.

Nvida ForceWare Release 158

Beta Driver
Seems to work OK so far.
From above:
XP x86: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_158.19.html
XP x64: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_158.19.html

Vista x64:http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_158.18.html
Still no support for "Go" series. These basically add support for the 83.xx/84.xx/85.xx and 86.xx series, and a few fixes are listed for Vista that are minor, and game specific.

I saw that :mad: :mad:Quote:

ForceWare Release 158
Version: 158.18
Release Date: April 26, 2007
WHQL Driver
Did anyone try it? The first release was real bad!
I've made a PDF of the installation instructions for the new Forceware drivers, the procedure appears to have changed considerably from previous versions.
I've been running the 158.18 drivers for a couple of days, with no issues to report. And installation was more painless than those instructions seemed to suggest :)
So far this is the best Nvidia driver, no problems at all.
