Is there a way to mod the driver. I did mod some drivers when Windows XP x64 came out and I did the beta testing to get hardware working. But it does not seem to work in Vista x64. Have any Ideals.

Have you checked Microsofts Downloads for drivers? And no, when you install Vista x64, you only get x64 (which runs x86 software, but requires signed x64 drivers). |

Any help Tony If the driver isn't specifically written for Vista - it won't work. You can't use 32-Bit drivers on a 64-Bit system. You can't use 64-Bit drivers on a 32-Bit system. When you right-click on "Computer" and selct "Properties", what is your system type listed as? If it states "64-bit Operating System", then you need to use 64-Bit drivers. If it states "32-Bit Operating System", then you need to use 32-Bit drivers. If you are using Vista x64, then I think your confusion about having both x86 AND x64 stems from the fact that you can run both x86 (32-Bit) and x64 software. But you can only use digitally signed and certified x64 drivers. If you are using Vista x86 (32-Bit), then you can only run x86 (32-Bit) software, and can only install x86 (32-Bit) drivers. The only other way to get both Vista x86 and Vista x64 on the same computer would be to install using a dual-boot setup. But even then, you can only run one version at a time. If you cannot get specific x64 drivers for your wireless, then you are out of luck, and need to purchase a new wireless usb dongle that provides x64 support for Vista. |
