HI!!!
I have an dell inspiron 1300 laptop. I have installed the Windows vista OS and i can not find any drivers for the VISTA OS. Please can someone post some links or something......
thanks to all!!!!!!!!
a driver is a program to make a surden piece of hardware work like a video card or soundcard
you have to be a bit more spc about what driver you are looking for
maybe even ask in dell's forum where that model nr mean anything to people

You are unable to find Vista drivers for this Dell model, b'cuz Dell never shipped this system with Windows Vista.
Check here
If you try the drop-down menu to select OS, you don't have Windows Vista listed here, that's why you couldn't find the drivers.
But you hardly need any driver to be installed manually. Unlike XP, Vista has native drivers for almost everything, Video, Sound, Chipset etc. It has them all.
So, you hardly need to search for drivers. If you still face some issue, lemme know, i am good with Dell
Cheers..
same was the problem i thought existed as i have acer 5500z which was not shipped with vista.
but the xp drivers for wifi, bluetooth, lan and sound worked perfectly with vista.
for display there was no need as vista has in-built support for video.
the only thing which i miss in vista and u'll probably too is the power management software which is more useful than anything else in notebooks.
hope it helps.
dell dont make their own hardware stuff apart from the pcb and the case
so dell dont really make drivers if
they use a realteck audio chip a realteck audio chip driver for that chip will work and so fouth
so find vista drivers for all things in the laptop and you're set
I think the OP was just saying he needed all the drivers, they are out there but all individually scattered. If I find a resource I will post here. I am currently looking for the video driver as aero doesnt work. Everything else worked fine. The drivers are installed and up to date a.t.m.

Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???
I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)
I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone
Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.

But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?
So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.

i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.
If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......
Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.
I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.
Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.
First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.
And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.
WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.
Works fine for Win7 x64.
but Win7 x86 "NO"
you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version
Updates?
Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey
It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way
I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.

I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can
I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.
Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.
i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)
With it checked it didnt work on mine win7

I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.
your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?
And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.

Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.
I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.
Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.
Hi there
downloaded a rom with came with modem link program. Then I active USB in that it make Vista demand something called "Generic Serial driver".
Is that a HTC Modem driver?
By the way have tried tried to engage a Bluetooth network something called PAN. But VISTA your device does not support Bluetooth PAN. Is that true that the X1 doesn't support Bluetooth PAN?
A lot of questions All those belong in this forum.
At least, upgrade your WMDC to 6.1. Without that update, both Vista and Windows 7 will have connectivity issues.
Do a google and some Microsoft download page will turn up I guess.
If you have x64, make sure you pick the corresponding update.
had same issue today... just plugged my x1 via usb. Did windows update and thats it

WU didn't find any driver for that device. Whats the exact name of device which I need to driver for?
U have to let Vista (or Windows 7) update drivers thru WU which if I can remember is off by default?
And why would one want old drivers from MS when there's newer from the OEM?
Anywho, Google search for WMDC 6.1 led me to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=46F72DF1-E46A-4A5F-A791-09F07AAA1914&displaylang=en which is the page for "drvupdate-x86.exe".
You need a "Genuine Windows" to download it.
I thought this was a forum for Windows Mobile, not for general use of a computer No offense, dude.
I have bought a sony vaio vgn-fw11m laptop, and there is windows vista home premium x32 installed. Iwanted to install vista ultimate x64 on it but couldnt find some of the drivers for it. does anyone know where i can find them. cause im realy tired of x32 system, it works very slow and it doesnt fully use the sytem of the laptop for example i have 4gb ram but the x32 OS
can operate only 3gb... any ideas where i can find x 64 drivers?
now that would very much depend on what the drivers where for

I have the Sony VGN-CR240E, and I installed Windows 7 RC1 x64, since I wanted to see if I should buy that instead, and I can safely say that most things work flawlessly. The downloads page for your model should have all the drivers, and most other software like Webcam and specific control panel settings.
One thing to keep in mind is that some stuff takes more work to get working right, and sometimes it won't work at all. For example, even though I'm running the Windows recommended driver for my built Texas Instruments card reader, it still doesn't work, and I can't find any OEM x64 drivers. And there is a row of buttons such as Volume up/down/mute, webcam, and dim display, but Windows uses its own driver for that, so only volume controls completely work as intended.
So, rather than deleting one version of Vista and installing the other right away, I'd shrink the existing vista partition using Disk Mangement from the Management Console, then create a new partition on which to install Vista x64, then install on that, and make sure most stuff works. That way, you don't have to stick with the x64 version.a
Now, once you install x64, download all the drivers for your computer from the Sony support site for your compter, but only download it for hardware that isn't working fully, even though Windows recogizes it (such as the webcam and mic in my case). Then, use a tool like Universal Extractor or 7zip to extract the .exe files you downloaded into the same folder, and call that folder Drivers or something similar. Then, from Device Manager, you can install drivers for that piece of unrecognized or non-functional hardware by choosing a specific location on your computer to search, and include the folder you made earlier called Drivers, and if there is a 64 bit driver in the original installer that is compatible, it should install and work as normal, though sometimes using the original .exe file is the only way to install it correctly (as in the case of my webcam), and sometimes, it won't work at all, as in the case of my card reader. Hope that helps you.
Ive already tried visiting sony support6 and vaio support, there were only the originally installed drivers an utilities, and when i tried tried to install the card reader driver itworked, but the webcam and the WMP control panel werent working. also while installin one of the drivers the blue screen appeared. after some time imjust used the recovery to roll back to x32 home premium. any other ideas?
yes yes I know what site i'm on....
reinstalled xp on a computer previously running xp.

help?
so you have the monitors drivers installed but hav you got the graphics card drivers installed?
you the man.
that should have sorted it
any more issues just let me know
Recently I got a Kyocera Sanyo Zio from Cricket. I updated to 2.2 Froyo, and I was having moderately decent fun with it. I wanted to get Netflix on my phone, so I researched and found a way to do it through the SDK Manager or however you say it.
Problem is, I installed the drivers for the Zio from the website itself, and when I plug in the USB cable, it says "The driver is not intended for this platform." I have Windows Vista on my computer, and everywhere I've looked I can't seem to find a solution. I just want to be able to connect my phone to the computer so I can get Netflix amongst other interesting apps I can't find in the marketplace.
I've been trying for days looking for a solution and it's given me a headache...I'd really appreciate some help, if any is given, and I thank you in advance.
Windows 7 32 or 64 bit drivers.

Find your system. Install the drivers for it.
I have windows vista...I already installed those drivers and it says what I wrote before, "Driver not intended for this platform." If those are for windows 7, then they wouldn't be compatible with vista, right?
EDIT: After realizing that the version previously shown was not compatible with my system, I made another search for a driver compatible with Windows Vista. Found it, connected my phone, so I guess this thread is pointless now :/ But thank sinisin for making me realize that those drivers were for windows 7.
