i found that one-of the xp drivers on that cd will let it run in vista.., be sure that u load the correct driver as-in: " 32 or 64-bit " driver for the os ur running.., after goin back over ur Q in the email, i got it to connect in both vista home basic 32-bit & vista business 32-bit versions using the 32-bit version of the xp driver on that disc.., i kno i'm a lil late gettin back to u with a better or updated answer, but i ran accross it by chance & it connects to my dial-up isp after loading that one driver..

I have a win vista home basic and mine install instantly without the installation cd. maybe ask an IT person? Maybe you have a bad one? I usually buy several at a time since we get them zapped by lighting storms. If one doesn't work or stops working, I just grab another.

It works perfectly under my Windows XP, but if you have a version that does not support usb ports, you´ll have to install the drivers separately. But the hardware works perfect :)

I would assume you found out by now if the unit would work for you? Would be nice to hear if it worked for you. EG: You post back if unit worked in Vista.... (Net is a wonderful source of info IF people post back into threads they've created. -think two way street when posting... instead of one way street in which you expect all info to flow towards you.) Sort of mute point at this point in time, still... when creating a thread asking for HELP... when you do have a answer/info -update the thread/post. Will this item work in Vista? This unit was marketed during before VISTA, Windows7 was around. (Newest OS listed is XP) Don't know about VISTA... but SanDisk CF Type I/II ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer (Model SDDR-92-A15) is showing as Windows 7 32/64 bit compatible -no need to install any additional software, in case anyone is interested. (Packaging indicates you MUST install some type of software that came with unit prior to connecting drive.... Guess this is for the "One-Touch Transfer button".) Drive should show up under your drive listing...without any additional software. http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=SanDisk%20Imagemate%20Card%20Reader&v=SanDisk&uid=SDDR-92-A15&l=en-US&pf=0&pi=9&c=Mice%2C%20Keyboards%20%26%20Input%20Devices&sc=Other%20Input%20Devices&os=64-bit

They claim Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility but I seriously doubt trouble-free operation considering their latest driver (as of July 2010) is dated 2007 (before Vista was released!). Besides, there are many claims of the software being very buggy!I would not buy this unit so the question is... where do we find a PSTN to VoIP device that works with the latest version of Windows (Win 7) and the latest version of Skype?

Windows found and self-installed the driver. I don't know of any other sources if yours does not automatically install itself when connecting your device to a computer with Windows 7.

Nevermind, I got it! The manufacturer is "Pro Ebiz LLC". You have to download their Windows Update from there apparently.. But that didn't really help. I just had to select to "manually install the driver", then point the install to C:\. You will get a security warning about installing the driver, but go ahead and do it. The device works great!!! Thanks a lot!

I got a WD Passport 160 GB USB 2.0 Drive today. - It does not work on my 4-year old Compaq Presario 900 laptop (XP home with SP2). Nothing happens. - So far no trouble running it on my newer HP Pavilion dv4000 (XP home with SP2). With all the comments about working or not working with laptops I keep my fingers crossed! Noticed that reviews earlier this year were far more negative than more recent one's. Did they improve the product??

I use this on Windows 7, and it did need to get some updated drivers from Microsoft but worked basically once I plugged it in. I have had problems with some worn usb sockets on my work pc, and it worked once I used an USB extension cable.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. I do know that a few years back I changed modems when I went to Windows 7, and going to 7 may have been the reason I changed. How's that for a half-baked answer? The modem's listed features don't include Win 7, but one never knows.

Sure will! I have read where some people have had trouble on win7 but I loaded the vista drivers and it worked. My recommendation is to purchase a USB adaptor that has vendor supplied drives just in case you are one of the ones where the vista drivers do not work. Also, I have not checked lately to see if there are any win7 drivers for the win111.

Oops, I take it back. XP had the same problem that my vista machines had it now: it could not find the printer on the same networks. I got it to work doing the custom install by specifying the ip address. So, the deal is DO NOT use the "auto" install.

If you are still using Windows XP, you will need to disable the windows drivers for this and install the drivers that come with it. I had much difficulty setting this device up with XP. Works much better with 7. Do not uninstall the Windows drivers. Only disable them. If you are still having issues or it is not working with Windows Vista or 7, I suggest you talk with the manufacturer and see if they can help.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. I have just checked on ati's website and the last OS they provide drivers for on this card is Windows Vista. Unfortunately I cannot find any drivers for windows 7. You may look to see if other people are using some third party software to make it work. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Another issue: install of MFC suite driver/utilities on Vista machines. Whether on my x32 or x64 machine, both failed or at best, erratic in connection. The software can see the wireless printer fine. The machines can ping the printer just fine. So connection is good. The problem lies with auto configuration. Do not use it. Make sure you choose "custom install". Then at the crucial step of finding the printer, type in the printer's ip address manually. That way, the pc's can see the printer as long as it is within the network range. XP machines do not have this issue with the auto install.

It has been a number of years since I have done computer technical support so I am not up to date on versions of Windows beyond XP. I remember under Windows XP and 98 that plugging in a USB device before installing the software could cause a problem with the USB drivers which forced you to uninstall the USB drivers and restart the computer and let them re-install. I don't know if that is the case with your computer or not. I have used my Sanoxy with my Toshiba laptop and home built desktop running both Windows XP and more recently Linux Mint with no problems.

don't really know, check out Linksys web site answer and questions or if they have drivers for vista

I could not get the my telecom software to recognize the voice capability supposedly built into modem. Same issue in both XP Pro and Win7 Pro 64bit. It may have been a software issue, but I returned it anyway. Instead I bought a serial to USB interface cable. It required a driver (free from manufacturer) but once installed worked perfectly with two legacy serial port modems, recognizing all the built-in features.
