well it's been quite some time without longhorn, and ALAS, I still have the problem with even the latest build 5259? Whatever. Anyways, I googled the problem and it brought me right back to where I started;here. Same proglem with the WLAN card. **** broadcom. 43xx drivers is what Windows XP reports. When I install the windows xp drivers, Longhorn..er VISTA, freezes and I have to hit the kill switch on my box. I'm downloading the WLAN driver pack that was mentioned in this thread to see if it works, I don't expect much home from it, but we'll see. IndustrialAeon: Yes, I have come to that. I have Installed SUSE OSS 10 on a PIII 900Mhz pc to learn, and I am liking it. I am just getting used to KDE and the small commands that Linux guru's take for granted. LOL When i'm confortable with the graphical interface and other parts of the os, such as what files mean what, the filesystem etc, then i'll probably dig deeper into learning the console. But I must say, Linux has come along way, I remember always trying it out and ditching it over and over again over the past years, just because it wasn't meant for n00bs like myself. At least with SUSE 10, it's making it fun and interesting for me that I want to learn more. so kudo's to that. anyways, that's it for the update. bye.

update Been having problems installing the driver for my linksys wmp54gs card. Tried every driver possible even broadcom drivers with still no success. The 5112 drivers worked perfect but for some reason the PDC version of vista broke everything. Finally I noticed in safemode that I was able to successfully install the driver, so I took a look at the memory resources that were assigned to it, and it had reported that there is a memory range conflict with PCI standard pci to pci bridge. It seems that the WLAN card is dependent on this but they are sharing the same memory address space? I try to manually configure the memory range, but the option to do so is greyed out why is this and does anyone have any potential solutions for this so that I can get the wlan card working? Is it the WLAN card or is it some other device that Vista didn't install? I know that by looking in device manager in system devices within windows xp, there are a lot more devices installed. I wonder if the same compares to build 5112.

Installed the PDC build and well, NO LDDM support for my 6600GT. Downloaded the beta LDDM drivers from Nvidia, but the app refuses to run in vista, but it ran fine in build 5112. Go figure. Same goes with my Linksys wmp54gs card which was installed as a broadcom but still worked fine in build 5112. In build 5219, it installs as Linksys wmp54gs (the correct card and drivers) but says the drivers could not be installed or have become corrupted. Installed just about every version of these drivers possible to no avail. Using the install drivers automatically (the wizard) the finds the network card, but then it freezes the computer. In build 5112 it installed my Promise fastrak TX2000 controller card no problem, in build 5219, nada. Therefore I believe this build to be more crippled than the last build. Congrats Microsoft for working backwards. Otherwise, if anyone can offer any solutions to the above problems, then please do so. any help would be appreciated.
