nVidia network nforce drivers and soundblaster drivers

Hey guys,

After installing windows Vista, two things dont work.

1. Sound Blaster xFI
2. No board network card

First off with the network card. Windows installs the drivers, however
nother working, its set to limited connection. I went to nvidia's website and
it doesnt include the network drivers in the nForce driver download.

Anyways else have a problem like this?

Yea, there are no *working* drivers yet for the xFI that I am aware of. At
least for Vista 65bit.

Re: nVidia network nforce drivers and soundblaster drivers

Hi, On my system Vista had installed the network drivers for my nForce2
on board network card and it runs stable. Check device manager to see if
Vista have installed them, but may be your card is not getting and IP
address from a DHCP server, as I guess for that "limited connection"
message.

Re: nVidia network nforce drivers and soundblaster drivers

That's my problem! I'm only running the 64 bit version. How do I get the
65 bit version?

Re: nVidia network nforce drivers and soundblaster drivers


Too stupid for a beta OS.

When you help someone like this they will just be back in a few more
days with more stupid question.

This group is being flooded with moronic questions:
How do I get a product key
Where do I get a driver for xyz hardware
Won't install on my lapotop
Won't install on my computer circa 1968
My crappy video card won't run aero glass (the sky is falling)
My crappy sound card doesn't work
Can't figure out how to activate
Will my 16 bit program from 1992 run on Vista
How long can I use Vista Beta
How do I dual boot
I NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET XP BACK
cannot delete windows.old file

Ignore them, children should only listen to adult conversations, not
be incouraged to join in.

Re: nVidia network nforce drivers and soundblaster drivers

Fernando, Vista did install the Network driver but I still get the limited
connection. When I do the Internet Wizard, it does not see my router. Any
ideas why this is happening? Where is the Command Prompt for me to see what
IP address the adaptor has? Thanks
