| | Re: ups battery systems-- Driver issue? Did you install software or did Vista ask to find a driver? Make/model of UPS? I doubt 3rd party is needed, at least with APC and probably most more popular brands.

| | Re: ups battery systems-- For Vista a vender supplied driver/application is often required if the interface is Serial, Vista dropped Serial UPS support.
