Can I stop Vista to ask for loading a device ?

I use a multichannel sound card (legacy...) (Frontier Design Dakota -
www.frontierdesign.com) and each and every time I boot the PC (Vista x64) or
load a profile, I am prompted to ''RUN'' this device.

Even though each and every single time (I like to click for nothing...), I
unselect the box that says ''Always ask me prior to run this program''.
Which in my own words should tell Vista once and forever that I no longer
wish to be prompted to load this device, right ?

Same thing if I try to open the control panel for this device - and here,
each time within a same session !

This is very annoying. The hardware manufacturer is aware of the problem
(although they issued 64 bit drivers for Vista).

Is there a way, trick, to stop this?

Thanks,
Rob

Probably no solution until the vendor has one. Something in the driver
install has made the driver volatile, as if it were an application
rather than a driver. One workaround might be to place a shortcut to
the startup.exe or install.exe in the startup folder so it automatically
is loaded during startup.

Re: Can I stop Vista to ask for loading a device ?

Recently I've seen this symptom on a XP machine and the cause was
some memory conflict with the video card.
Try to tweak the video aperture size in the BIOS setup (if it allows this) -
set the largest value.
( warning! note the current setting before making any changes....)
