Then, when installation of Vista is complete and there are some issues with drivers - point it to a location on your DVD or HDD where you stored these (first point it to a Windows folder) and if that does not work - then point it to a Program Files ...

99% of drivers missing will be found and will work just fine with Vista.

I've been doing this since pre-beta versions of Vista/Longhorn then - and it all works like a charm!

Why not just go to the manufacturer's own website, instead of trusting that the third-party didn't hijack the code for their own (possibly malicious) reasons?

FYI, "repository" is a more accurate word than "depository" in this instance.

]]> <![CDATA[Get Your Vista Drivers From RadarSync]]> I would agree with you Mark, except the fact that it would be quite difficult to not have integrated drivers on a fresh installation of the OS.

No wait, its just Microsoft, *shudder*...

]]> <![CDATA[Get Your Vista Drivers From RadarSync]]> I never understood why microsoft ever made their own drivers. I would think it would be more sensible to have Windows Update be a repository of vendor drivers. Vendors could update their driver on MS's site whenever they have a new one and Update would automatically install them to our systems.
