880612 2010-04-28 03:29:00 Is it 32 or 64 bit Vista?? I've extracted the two files you mentioned (off a 32 bit DVD). Replacing these two files on your system (since they maybe corrupt), may fix the crashing Speedy Gonzales (78)
880613 2010-04-28 03:34:00 32 bit Jedediah (15748)
880614 2010-04-28 03:45:00 What you can do is get 7zip its free (http://www.7-zip.org/) the 32 bit version.

Install then run it. Put the Vista DVD in. Click on the DVD in 7zip. Go to sources. Right mouse on install.wim. Select open.

Then go to 1. Windows\System32\drivers. Find Wdf01000.sys and usbport.sys (both are in the drivers folder).

Right mouse on both / select copy to. Select a folder to copy them to on the hdd.

Then copy both of them to C:\windows\system32\drivers. So both will overwrite whats already there, If it doesnt work in normal windows, do it in safe mode. Reboot, play a game / or whatever you did for it to crash. See if it crashes again

880615 2010-04-28 06:13:00 Ok, went into safe mode, ran 7zip as admin, and when i try to copy the files I get a message saying "Error Can not delete output files" Jedediah (15748)
880616 2010-04-28 06:36:00 Did you copy those 2 files to the hdd? Probably be easier / faster if you get teamviewer. And I'll do it for you Speedy Gonzales (78)
880617 2010-04-29 08:09:00 After many tries to get vista re work, i junked my old hard drive and upgraded to windows 7 64x
