Toshiba Gigabeat and XP compatible w/ Vista?

[Guest]

I have a Toshiba Gigabeat that is XP compatible. Will I ever be able to use
it with Vista? At this point, I can't even get the softwear to load properly.
Does Vista not recognize softwear that is XP compatible? Or will I have to
buy all new devices now that I have Vista on my computer? I am just
frustrated because my old computer had Windows 98 on it and it was too old to
use my MP3 player. And now I just bought a new laptop on Sunday, and it seems
that its too new! Please help!! Thanks!!

That would be a question for Toshiba, they are responsible for providing
compatible Vista drivers.

Download Gigabeat Room 3.0 - I've set up a Gigabeat on Vista and it
works fine.

Where can I down load Gigabeat Room 3.0? Are you talking about the firmware
for the device or the software for the computer?

It's a combination Firmware/Software upgrade. Download is found
at: http://www.toshiba.co.th/download/support.html
*Thailand site, so a bit slow - Download link in 2nd category on page

Thank you, I downloaded it I think (didn't really get any kind of message
telling me it was done). Anyway, I connected the gigabeat using the cradle.
Vista searched for drivers, installed them and now it all works.
