hotdoge3 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 http://blogs.nzherald.co.nz/blog/griffins-...e/?c_id=1501198 It became clear soon after Vista's release, that there were serious problems when it came to finding compatible software drivers to allow everything to work properly with Vista. For that, Microsoft and its industry partners have a lot to answer for. http://www.informationweek.com/news/showAr...cleID=206904736 The service pack will not install on computers that use peripheral device drivers that Microsoft has deemed incompatible. The list includes a small set of audio and display drivers made by Realtek and Intel (NSDQ: INTC), as well as drivers from several other manufacturers. http://www.informationweek.com/news/showAr...cleID=205917537 Finally, Microsoft's Deployment Guide for Vista SP1 (currently updated for the release candidate of SP1) goes into detail about all the above methods, and provides links to additional tools and guides that ought to come in handy during a rollout * Windows Vista SP1 Survival Guide * Windows Vista SP1 Includes More Than 300 Hot Fixes http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935796 all so see ** Nearly 30% of Vista craches in 2007 ** http://feeds.delicious.com/rss/badvista/badvista+vistawatch http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/featu...C2574160073E4DF http://www.tweak-uac.com/ If you’ve used TweakUAC, you’ve seen the “quiet” option it offers that lets you suppress the elevation prompts of UAC without turning the UAC off completely. In such a mode, you keep all the positive effects of UAC, such as Internet Explorer operating in the protected mode, applications starting without the administrative privileges by default, etc. The only thing that gets changed is that you will no longer see the infamous “Windows needs your permission to continue” messages whenever you attempt to make a change to your Vista configuration, or when you run a program that needs administrative rights. http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vist...-disc-download/ NeoSmart Technologies is hosting a copy of the Windows Vista Recovery Disc for your convenience. It is a 120 MiB download, and in the standard ISO format. Microsoft seems to have realized this problem, and have thankfully made a recovery disc for this purpose. It contains the contents of the Windows Vista DVD's "recovery center," as we've come to refer to it. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/index.htm DriverMax - for Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Latest version: 3.4 (free program) PS be for fit sp1 back old driver's & make recovery DVD to be safe http://en.expreview.com/2008/04/10/intel-o...rash-vista-sp1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
