Business versus Home basic

[Galen Somerville]

I have a proprietary USB device. The install program puts in Jungo drivers
to tie it to the kernel stuff.

So Device Manager has an entry Jungo -WinDriver

The install also adds an app driver to the Windows\inf directory.

When the USB device is turned on the first time, it has to find the app
drivers. In WinXP a Wizard pops up.

In Vista Business I'm not sure what happened but it found and installed the
app drivers so the Device Manager now shows a second entry under Jungo with
my app drivers name and all works fine.

In Vista Home, the Jungo - WinDriver entry appears in Device Manager. It
does nothing when you turn on the device except make the pong-ping sound.

Right clicking on the app driver inf file and selecting install just tells
you it's the wrong kind of file.

Is there some basic difference in Vista Home so you can't add USB devices?

there should be no difference normally between the 2 versions of vista in
relation to that usb device...

Are you using Business and Home Basic on the same PC? (If not the same PC,
the -exact- same hardware configuration?) If not, there may be a hardware
issue on the PC running Home Basic. (Which might be true even if they're the
same exact hardware configuration...)

Separate PC's. Both have switchable hard drives. XP works fine on both PC's.

Yeah, but we're not talking about XP; we're talking about Vista. At this
point, the only thing I can think of, not being even remotely familiar with
Jungo (never heard of it, in fact...) is that maybe, perhaps, taking a wild
a** SWAG here... Jungo uses some capability provided in Business that is not
available in Home. Some networking capability. Again, that's just a SWAG and
could be way off the mark. Don't know... What flavor or flavors of XP does
Jungo work with?
