The best fix that I have found for vista problems is to download slimdrivers from google on either filehippo or cnet. click run and follow the instructions after the scan of your computer. I found out it works best to download each driver 1 at a time, had some connection problems with my older gateway nv52 with vista and this fixed it, and all the other things that were not working. (don’t install the extra add ons just uncheck them in the boxes before the download) hope this may help.
