Archos 605 Wifi Driver problem

I've got a Archos 605 wifi and i have tried to install it to my laptop
(Vista) but it won't work becuase it can't find the drivers. I have set it
all up correctly on the player but when i plug it in with the USB it says
that it needs to intall the drivers. I click automatically because i haven't
got a CD and there isn't one available. I have tried to do it manually as
well but i can't get it to work. Has anyone got any suggestions?

RE: Archos 605 Wifi Driver problem

The same story with me. No way to connect Archos 605 Wifi to my computer.
Message "a605" couldn't find driver. (Vista Ultimate)
Where I tried connection on XP Pro system it was working in HDD mode, no
driver necessary and easy installed.
If any help would be great !!!

RE: Archos 605 Wifi Driver problem

I had this problem on Vista Business, but I discovered that the driver
installation thing wasn't actually looking in the c:\windows\system32 folder
where the drivers are kept, it was only looking on Windows Update. When I
told it to manually search that folder for the drivers, it installed fine...

And some problems continue to bother me though : I find now the USB PC hard
disk but when I doubleclick it shows : 'Please insert media", and I can't
copy anything to of can not read what's on it.
