Vista doesn't plug and play device driver's not found

[Guest]

HELP!

I can't seem to get anything that is supposed to be plug and play to work
with my new laptop running vista. Keeps telling me device driver not found.
All these new gadgets say vista compatible and do not provide drivers on
their website nor with the purchase. Can anyone help me in getting my stuff
to work with my laptop running vista?

Thanks,
E

I and and few people I know seem to be having the same problem and nobody can
seem to find a solution- if anyone knows one my life would be a lot easier
for college.

Folks! After lots time wasted with HP and posting on forums trying to get a
response from Microsoft... it appears this can be resolved by one of two
ways... 1. Try to re-boot your pc from the beginning. This will erase all
your saved items and return the pc back to its original condition. For some
reason the drivers didn't load correctly and starting over again fixed my
problem FINALLY! 2. if that doesn't work, you'll most likely need to return
your pc to the manufacturer to get a replacement motherboard. Good luck on
that one!

Regards,

You seem to be talking about brand-new, under warranty computers. Mine is 5
years old and exceeds the Vista Ultimate Standards in every way. Still, some
USB devices that used to work under Vista do not work now. Many (such as game
controllers, an HP printer, etc.) did PnP properly at first and then didn't
work after that. They do not make my motherboard anymore, so to replace it I
would have to spend money for the board, the cpu and a new video card because
mine uses AGP. We're talking hundreds and hundreds of dollars to use a
$399.00 under-acheiving operating system. This seems to be Microsoft's fault
and they haven't fixed it. I would tell them but my 90 days has expired and I
can't afford $59.00 for tech support every time their product fails.
