Success story

> Took the plunge and installed Vista today in a dual boot with XP Pro.
>
> Must admit after reading thru this group I was expecting a lot more
> problems. However the install went almost flawless.
>
> Only had 2 problems. Both were device drivers.
>
> 1.) Creative Audigy MP3+ sound card not recognized on first boot.
> Installed the latest Audigy Drivers from Creative though and
> sound then was working perfectly.
>
> 2.) Did not detect my Linksys Network card.
> Told it to search the area where I had my XP drivers package
> stored for this device. Found the device then and installed it with
> no problems apparently using the XP drivers. Connected to my cable
> ISP then with no problems at all.
>
> Was worried about my ATI video card (9800) after reading some problem
> posts here on ATI cards. Vista installed it just fine and came up with
> Aero already chosen and working.
>
> Of course I have some programs that will not install which I already
> knew from reading posts here. Like for one..Zone Alarm Pro.
>
> But overall it is working great so far.
