does this come with plug and play drivers for Windows Vista or do you have to go out and search for them?

You don't need drivers, you need, simply, a program that can process blu-rays.The external drive only reads blurays, u need third-party software to utilize it to its fullest.

This did come with a cd, however my laptop uses windows 7 and all I had to do was plug and play.

comes with disk, everything you need. I ran the disk that came with it on my windows 8 laptop and my windows vista notebook put it in on both and it runs fine on both. cyberlink software . if you have the same luck I had. you will be more than happy. really good device.

i found that most of the blu ray burners come with a very minimal software. the unit uses special drivers that will install from the supplied disk, but you will have to use another program to do the actual burning. i got mine from ashampoo burning studio 14, and it works well. i think the drivers are included with the program. i hope that helps..ray

it comes with a small disc for drivers, but with windows 7 its pretty much plug and play. you may need a program such as cyberlink powerdvd to play Blu rays or VLC. I use it alot and have not had any problems with it yet.

I have it running on a windows 7 home premium OS. I don't remember exactly how I set it up, but it was quite easy--not just plug-and-play, but I don't think you have to go out to manually search on the internet to get drivers. I think the setup instructions were clear and easy. One thing was that I did have to have a hard ethernet connection on the computer for setup--I couldn't get it to work just from the disk.

I have Windows Vista 64 bit OS and all I did was install it and Windows loaded the drivers and it worked great. I would highly recommend it.

Yes, it is plug & play without any drivers from the included CD for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8.0, and 8.1. I have tried it on all of those operating systems.Just make sure you have regular USB drivers installed (if you can successfully use a thumb drive or printer then they are already).

It works with Windows 7 which is not too different from Vista. My guess is that it does.

i installed the driver to my new Sony Laptop with Vista but it keeps saying can't find the device. I am getting very frustrated about this process. Can any one help me on this issue, thanks:=))

Yes, it does. I purchased this printer from amazon last week. The box contained a separate CD for installation on machines running Vista. I had no problems with the installation and have had no problems with at all.

No, this will not work with Vista. This is an older CDROM version for Windows 98 to XP. Try a new version.

The only thing I can think of is check if it's supposed to work with your operating system. Mine loaded and worked like a breeze on Vista.

Yes, that is what I have and it works great. No drivers needed...plug it in and go.

Yes, it does work with Vista but it helps to be a techie. It came with a Vista driver. I had to kill a Macrovision scheduler process(by id number) with the Task Manager to get one of the programs to install. The ArcSoft PhotoStudio help does not work with Vista unless you follow the error message links and install an old Windows Help program. Even with the help working, there wasn't much there so I couldn't get the program to stitch scans together correctly. The main reason I bought this was my old Visioneer 5800 didn't have a Vista driver. It doesn't seem to scan much faster. My scans have been at 300dpi so I haven't had a chance to see the resolution difference. Yes, it does work with Vista but it helps to be a techie. It came with a Vista driver.

It appears I'm using windows 7 (Vista) on my laptop and this works with my computer.

Yes it is, I am using one with Vista. No drivers required. I don't know about the "Button Application" because I prefer to use Windows Explorer or the command-line and haven't installed it.

Don't remember if there was a small driver CD included. Doesn't matter for standard Windows OS, as it will find the driver autmatically on board or over the web. No idea if it will work on the device you listed. Sorry

I previously answered about the CD. It will work with Vista as plug and play, but only on some versions. If you try cto load the CD, remember that all CD's and zip disks must be removed before you can start Vista or else you will be stuck in start. Let me know if you have any problem. Thanks for your question.
