| Re: is my pc Win Vista capable? Or premium ready? pvdg42:
I have the same sound card on my Compaq V2300cto. The sound drivers
were installed through Windows update after I formatted the hard drive and
installed Vista Enterprise x86. If you performed an upgrade installation,
conflicting drivers may have been installed. Go to device manager,
un-install the audio drivers, check the box to delete the driver files,
reboot. After rebooting Vista should find the proper drivers through Windows
update. The driver on my laptop is version 6.14.10.575, dated 4/22/2005
through Microsoft. Have a great day.
