Vista and A8R-MVP?
Has anyone gotten Vista working with an A8R-MVP board? When I try it
with my recent Vista preview edition it doesn't see any video card or monitor. Nothing in Device Manager at all, not even an unknown entry. The ATI drivers won't load.

You know you Have to use Vista capable drivers for your devices to work. XP
drivers will NOT work. -- DaveW ---------------- "Jerry" wrote in message ... Has anyone gotten Vista working with an A8R-MVP board?

As installed Vista does not see the ATI display card or the monitor at all. I get some generic display/monitor. The ATI VISTA driver will not load, possibly because Vista is not seeing the ATI board? Nor does Vista appear to have any other video drivers than a few for Intel. FWIW I also had no sound after installing Vista. Soundmax/Analog Devices has no drivers at all, deferring to the MB manufacturer (Asus in this case). So I installed the XP sound driver from Asus. It did install, although with fewer options, and I do now have working sound. So XP drivers WILL, in some cases, work. Would real XP drivers work better? most likely. So my question remains, has anyone gotten this MB working with Vista, either a preview version or the RTM version? Is Asus planning on release Vista drivers? Not knowing how old this preview is I wouldn't be surprised that the RTM version has a better chance of working out of the box.

I think you would be better off waiting untill you get the retail version of Vista and load the service pack Microsoft are writing in a hurry for it before you go wasting your time with Vista.

I've been thinking along that line, too. At least wait for the RTM version to show. Last I heard the SP will be toward the end of the year

I've been thinking the same thing. Wait for my RTM to show up. The first SP won't be until late this year is what I read somewhere.
