You need drivers for Vista from the laptop mftr. Go to their tech
support site for your specific model laptop and download/install Vista
drivers and laptop software. If there aren't any, contact the laptop
mftr.'s tech support since with such a new laptop they will undoubtedly
(hopefully!) be writing drivers to support Vista.
