Hey Dennis, this machine is a 3gb and since this is a business (I'm a sound
for film composer) machine I just can't go re-imaging/recovering the machine
as easy as say someone with office and some personal software/docs installed.
It takes a full day and 400 gb disk space to install the software I use. Also
there are various (just about all known to mankind) copy protection devices
tied to my hardware for this software to run. Not to mention that some of my
software has a limited number of installs that require requesting via email,
phone or paying extra license fees to install again. Just too much work to go
through for printer, KORE and USB hub functionality on this machine. If I
can't get it fixed I will use the machine as a slave and continue using
Windows XP on my others. This was to be my Vista test machine as I normally
run banks (4-5) computers ethernetted together with proprietary networking
software to achieve up to 256 tracks of Orchestration for a film score.
I do appreciate you taking your time though.
Regards,
Craig

You need to look at some disk imaging software like paragon or acronis and
an external drive.
You should be able to image the machine in an hour or two.
It sounds like you need to do this anyway if the machine is that important.
If you do rebuild the machine then image it at several stages so if it goes
wrong you don't have so far to recover from.

Hi Darrell, The hot fix didn't work, Thats about it with Vista for me, Thanks
for your help.

Hi Michael,
That hot fix didn't work either. However after uninstalling all the Windows
updates back to May I was able (with a considerable amount of trial and
error) to install my KORE controller device throught the device manager. So
I'm still left with being unable to plug and play my USB 2.0 (powered) hubs,
sandisk cruzer thumb drives or Epson R300 printer. Thanks again for your
assistance.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

As time progresses, I think many of these problems
will be fixed. I've seen a lot of progress from hardware/software
vendors since Vista was first released. However, there are going to
be things that just won't work with Vista, and that's really the fault
of the manufacturers/software companies.

Best of luck.


Take care,

Michael

Hi again Craig,

My issued has been resolved......&^%& finally!

I did install the hotfix I mentioned before and restarted but initially
that did not seem to work then I installed the hotfix KB937187 and
restarted and that did not seem to work either UNTIL I did something in
Device Manager.

The answer to solve my problem which I'm fairly confident will solve
yours. Once in device manager of course after you have rebooted from
the hotfix(s) find the peripheral you are having problems with right
click and select "update driver". Allow the plug and play feature to
perform while the device (peripheral you are having problems with) is
plugged into the pc and turned on. About 30 seconds or so into the
process you will notice your device being found and installed
accordingly....at least it did for me.

Thanks for originally posting your problem on the internet as I would
not have found a solution to my problem which was getting my digital
camera a Canon to detect in Vista even though it did so last week.

Hope this helps you out as we all know we don't like having to
re-install everything from scratch.

I'm not sure which hotfix actually fixed my issue as I installed both
then perform the update driver function afterwards. This seems to be a
very fragile error issue as ALL my other USB devices were found except
for my digital camera even though it was listed in Device Manager it
just wouldn't show up in My computer. Thankfully its now detected by
Vista.

Cheers.
John

Hi Craig,

Did you ever get that problem with the USB issue resolved?

I have been experiencing the same difficulties and came across this
hotfix perhaps you should give it a try and see if it works. I've just
installed it and about to restart my PC to see if it works. Figured I
would send it to you anyway as it may fix your issue.

Cheers,
John

There is but one thread that keeps all of these idiots together. Native
Instruments simply has made a hardware controller that is not very compatible
with Vista or Vista Ultimate. Windows XP is actually the Operating System
that is the most compatible with Kore NI and the hardware.

They simply say things without testing whether it is really true or not.
That makes them culpable and points to the fact that the almighty dollar is
behind the advertizing. They forgot where they put the truth.

And that is a sorry situation no doubt about it. What does NI expect me to
do, buy XP, wipe my hard drive clean and start from scratch with XP just to
load something that should load easy anyway. I mean what do we pay them for I
ask you???

There is no way I would ever suggest NI products to anyone I know. That is
our only recourse that is how we slap them around, thats the only way we can
show our disgust.

Hi,

Well, with Microsoft promising (and beta testers discovering) that Windows 7
will use the Vista driver model, things should pick up. There are all the
head in the sand-ers that used "Everyone hates Vista" as an excuse to get
out of writing signed drivers. These are all the same losers that will
adopt Windows 7 in droves to prove that the problem was Vista and not their
heads in the sand.

Just wait, I'm sure NI will soon have your solution: A new card you have to
buy; the old hardware *just* wasn't Vista/7 compatible. Epson did that to
me with my scanner. They told me that "... the Vista operating system
itself does not support the scanner" (Incident: 081229-001782) Well, I
tried installing it anyway. At the end of the install Vista said something
like "Your installation seems to have failed. Would you like Windows try
again with the proper settings?" I clicked "OK" (what did I have to loose,
it was a trial system). Vista got the scanner to work. Sounds like Vista
supported the scanner to me. Needless to say, when I needed another
scanner, I did not select an Epson.

I'm finding many vendors are all too happy that their products are Vista
incompatible. It drives upgrade sales. I have found that with some
vendors, though, you can haggle for a better upgrade price; others stand
firm.

If the man asks you to hate another,
It is not so you can benefit at the expense of the other,
It is so he can benefit at the expense of you.

I'm having the same kind of problem now with Windows XP. Before we installed
a new HP Laserjet All-In-One printer, everything was fine. Now, everytime I
re-start or reboot Windows XP, it re-installs the printer hardware/software
every time and the computers have to be re-configured to select the new
installation as the default printer since it's a network printer. They have
a hotfix for this problem in Vista but not for XP - go figure! I've decided
to simply leave my computer on at work until a solution is found.
