Driver for Windows Vista

Windows Vista is Microsoft’s new generation of graphical operating systems used on personal computers. It is designed to host both managed and native applications on a productive and secure platform. Compared to its predecessor Windows XP, Vista has numerous new and reworked features which make it more reliable, secure, and powerful.


Windows Vista does not use drivers that the user specifies during installation for the storage device. Since Windows Vista does not support a number of older hardware and software, it generally requires an update or new driver to operate smoothly and efficiently.

As far as Window Vista installation is concerned, it can be done with the help of a Windows Vista installation disc. While installing this operating system, the user requires using advanced settings in the Window Vista Setup to specify the storage device driver.

The storage driver which the user specifies during Windows Vista installation is loaded during the overall scenario. It only supports the drivers present in its installation disc.

Storage device features for the driver that the user specifies while installing the operating system are not available in Windows Vista. It will not show them even though Vista appears to use the .inf file which matches to the storage device driver the user specifies during installation.

To resolve the problem, the user requires loading the specific driver again. Outlined below are the required steps to complete the task:


* Insert the Windows Vista Installation Disc into the CD/DVD drive.


* Reboot the computer from the installation disc.


* Insert the media which has the new storage device driver.


* Configure the Windows Vista Setup program using the advanced settings.


Note: The user needs to click Load Driver to load the particular driver from the media. This will configure the Windows Vista Setup Program to use the specific driver.

Indeed, the drivers implemented for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 may lead to technical default in Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. This is why when it comes to reliability of the Windows Operating System, the Microsoft is always the brunt of much criticism.
