| 812735 | 2009-09-22 06:26:00 | I used Motherboard drivers for XP in W7 by copying the drivers from the CD, leaving out all the set-up code, just the bare drivers. I pointed the driver set-up searches to the 'inf' files and they were all accepted & running well. So, if the Set-up CD is rejected, try the bare drivers. |

| 812737 | 2009-09-22 08:18:00 | I did the same thing with Vista. The old 754 mobo here doesnt have any drivers for Vista at all. I just searched windowsupdate through device manager, it found the audio drivers, so I installed them. And it worked fine Saved me looking for the drivers. And for the ACPI drivers, I installed the vista x86 drivers for another mobo. It didnt do any harm. And Vista installed the LAN drivers which is good enough, (after I installed Vista), it hasnt crashed YET. |

| 812739 | 2009-09-23 03:59:00 | I have 'Driver genius' which works well, but in this case it didn't find any updates. It is a SiS650 chip set which goes back a while! | mzee (3324) | ||
