> GoYeGuy, My name is Rick and I work with the Windows Vista Outreach Team, and although I am not Tech Support I do have some recommendations. First the Link that Dave B has provided looks like a great place to start, I find any updated drivers from that source and download them. The Vista Team also recommends that before you download and update any 3rd party drivers you run Windows Update on your computer and download and install any new updates from Windows and restart of course. This will help to insure that your version of Vista has the most complete and up to date patches and fixes. Then go ahead and download and install any 3rd party hardware/software drivers that apply. If you try my or Dave’s advice and it still doesn’t work let me know and we will take another look at it.

Good luck
Rick
