| 621080 | 2007-12-16 23:47:00 | i found all the drivers in one other forum some guys had the same problem as me :D these idiots from HP and ASUS don't put the drivers for XP on their sites so everyone to buy pc with vista which is right from their point of view :) but i saw the model of my mobo and googled it and find this forum where some guy working for HP posted links with the XP drivers for every single component.man the difference now between vista and xp is like day and night,the pc's flyin :) Finding that information sounds like a godsend for others who may have the same problem - now or in future. I'm sure they'd be grateful if you posted a link here, or provided more details. |

| 621082 | 2007-12-17 08:20:00 | but i saw the model of my mobo and googled it and find this forum where some guy working for HP posted links with the XP drivers for every single component. Yawnnnnn all standard drivers if you know the chipset on the Mobo - this was pointed out a few posts back - only have to look. Those drivers work fine on that model of PC, but a different model, with a different chipset may require different drivers. Finding the chipset numbers helps lots. |

| 621083 | 2007-12-17 20:00:00 | Another thing you have to watch out for with Vista is the fact that it's chock full of DRM (Digital Rights Management) fish hooks. These are little apps that watch out for when you load a copied CD, or DVD, or try to download something from an unlicensed site on the net. Upshot: if you're into downloading free music or movies, don't get Vista. Joe As far as I know (I haven't installed Vista), Vista does not prevent you downloading or viewing any dodgy mp3s/movies/whatever. It doesn't report you if you do copy a CD, it doesn't report you if you copy a DVD. The DRM systems in place are to stop you copying those shiny new HD-DVDs/Blu-Ray discs. Hollywood has demanded a secure viewing path for the new HD formats & Microsoft has provided it in Vista. Of course you can use something like AnyDVD & "back up" all the CDs/DVDs/Blu-Ray/etc discs you want in Vista & they play fine. |
