Driver issue with VISTA!

[richy22]

Ok heres my first post re drivers and VISTA!! Anyone with some programming knowledge might be able to help me... Hopefully!

I have the below driver and it works fine on XP/2000 but unfortunately not on Vista. Do you need to resign the driver or is it more complex than that??

Right click the inf and choose install, or update the driver using the device manager it will ask you a bunch of "are you sure's"
Ive found a lot of XP drivers function quite well once you force install em onto vista

yeah tried it with device manager but get a "windows cannot install this driver" error message within Vista. I have to say im not that impressed with Vista... only thing i think is cool is the floating desktop thing it does!

is there an .inf file with the driver dll's? Just right click it, select install and see if that works
