VISTA EYE CANDY and No Support for INTEL MotherBoards

[Guest]

VISTA RC1 32 Bit / 64 Bit both provide no support for my PCI Video slots on my
Intel® Server Board SE7525RP2. I did a clean install on my 64 bit PC (both
32 bit and 64) using my NVIDIA PNY 7600

GT PCI Express card 2 Gigabytes of DD2 RAM.
Keep in mind folks that this setup works fine with XP Professional 32 bit
and 64 bit, which I am forced to run as we

speak due to VISTA's inability to assign resources to PCI express slot on my
motherboard. When it boots up I have 4

bit color. When right clicking on my computer the error is: error 12,
'Unable to load drivers, not enough resources

to start this device, free up some resources and try again.' Its not the
video card drivers I discovered. Its The

VISTA team who is not providing support for my MB. Its not like I have
oddball hardware here. I am disapointed

BIGTIME. If anyone has a solution, I am listening, but sad. : *(

Now class write on the blackboard 100x "Microsoft does not write drivers".
It is up to Intel to supply MS with a basic set of working drivers. If they
pass they are included in Vista and the drivers will be stamped Microsoft as
the provider. That is why people seem to have this strange idea MS actually
writes all the drivers built into Vista but the reality is they don't.

Yeah, ok. Microsoft doesn't write drivers. They SHOULD, however, let us
know if there is a driver missing. VISTA gave no errors relating to the
motherboard. All it states its is it cannot load the drivers FOR THE VIDEO
CARD in device manager ("not enough resources"). There are no missing or
unrecognized **motherboard** devices.

It is up to Vista to provide error messages to alert the user what's
happening. WHAT resources are there not enough of? WHICH device needs the
driver? (Here's a clue: it isn't the video card - nVidia HAS VISTA drivers,
which I downloaded.)
