I have a Toshiba P100 running Vista. There are a number of devices that just
won't install correctly. IPOD, HP Deskjet F380, Freecom 500GB Ext HD.

Issue I get is that they appear in Device Manager, and Vista recognises
them. But even with the drivers installed - HP driver from website and CD
tried, IPOD obviously just uses iTunes, and HD which is plug and play no CD
driver supplied - the system won't accept the devices as fully installed. It
keeps asking for the driver CD.

Any thoughts?

Max - have you heard from anyone? My neighbor just bought a Dell, high end
desk top with Vista preimum on Saturday. The kids came home today with their
flash memory data travelers with home work assignments and those flash media
won't work. When you install the flash travelers Vista says, like it does to
you, searching for drivers, then, there are no drivers. I contacted the
flash traveler company (Kingston) and they advise they are getting a lot of
calls. According to them, there are no drivers, the problem is a flaw that
occurred when the OS was installed; they offered no solutions. The new
system didn't come with a copy of Vista premium, so there is no way to try
and reinstall Vista. So, we're wondering how they fix their problem? Any
ideas -- anyone?

If your system didn't come with disks, then there is a utility to make a
"restore disk" from the protected partition on your hard drive. If you run
this program it will make a CD you can boot from and you can then either
reinstall or repair Vista.

You should do this in any event.

Rather than use the CD point the installation to locate the drivers in
:\windows\windows32 this resolved the problem I was having installing an iPod
Classic
