ES1980 Audio Card on PCI giving problems with Vista

[Kirpal Singh]

ES1980 is an Audio card of ESS company but they haven't released the drivers
for this card for vista, so I extracted the files from a setup for XP and
Installed the drivers from Device Management by choosing the location of
exctracted files. Drivers were intalled all right but when I restart I get
stuck at lfile loading scree mid-way then I have to restart in Safe Mode and
uninstall the drives to boot normally.

Is there a solution to above problem?

What makes you think drivers designed for winxp will work under Vista?
If Vista doesnt install a default set of drivers for you card that works,
buy a card that has Vista support

I thought so because I have intel 845 Chipset whose integrated graphic card
is not supported under vista but I can use it by installing its XP drivers
through Device Manager (although now I have got ATI x1600 dedicated graphic
card to run Aero).
