Cannot get TPM recognized in Vista 64-bit or 32-bit

Is there any chance there is a driver in development right now? Would MS not
be working on it?

Has anyone gotten Vista to recognize the TPM chip on a Dell Latitude D620?
That's my only other option for testing this and I'm not even sure I can get
my hands on one in time.

Thanks

AFAIK, MS doesn't do the drivers. It's up to the hardware manufacturer's to
make them, and then MS may include them in the installations.

Microsoft doesn't do drivers - the hardware manufacturer does.

Thanks. What TPM chips DO have drivers that work in Vista? I don't see any
Vista drivers on the Dell site for their D620s, but I've seen reports of the
Broadcom chips in those working.

I'm fairly sure that the Intel MB you referred to (or one like it) is
the one in the Dell Dimension E520 I recently ordered.

Although the CPU in my new Dell is a Core 2 Duo, not a Pentium D
("Duo-core"), and it doesn't have integrated video, as well as a few
other differences.

Dell is saying that this computer is Vista-ready, and even included a
free express upgrade to Vista Home Premium in my purchase.

Whether Vista itself even uses TPM chips I don't know. Unless
Microsoft wrote Vista to recognize such chips, any TPM chip would be
useless, anyway, no matter whether you had a driver or not.

In the MS whitepaper TPM Services for Windows Longhorn there is the following
quote:
"the TPM Driver is a kernel-mode device driver designed for TPM chips that
conform to the TCG 1.2 specifications. Conformance to the TCG 1.2
specifications avoids the need for vendor-specific device drivers and
provides more platform stability."

This is what's confusing me about why this isn't working.

Good luck. Thus far, the OEMs, Dell, HP, etc. have not stepped forward with
Vista drivers for the TPM.
