Re: Safely Remove Hardware? Does it turn off Power?

This is interesting, I found that only Windows XP (it could've been the
hardware at the time) turned the light off. My copy of Vista doe not. I would
like to get Windows Vista to always switch the power (and thus light off)
when I undock the USB. How can I do this please.

Here's the short of it. I need to know if there's a way to make dirvers
written for Vista to work on Windows XP.

I got a new system (with Vista, of course). So, like most people without a
lot of money to blow, I made my system dual bootable for Windows XP. That
way I don't have to buy (again) expensive software that I already own that
was working fine on Windows XP.

I have had no luck getting drivers for my sound hardware. The OEM of the
computer, Gateway, is refusing to be any help at all. I am finally giving
that up and, in desparation, am grasping at straws, thinking that perhaps
the Vista drivers can somehow be used on XP.

So under Device manager what is your sound card listed as....
Would Gateway be using this companies hardware/software???
