I recently installed Vista 64 on a Mobo 761GXK8MB (Foxconn), which was originally running XP Home (32bit) All went well until I tried to install drivers from the disc which came with the board, a message was displayed 'This Driver Disc is not for this Motherboard' However, I did manage to get all the drivers online in the end. I am so curious to know why this happened, as the disc worked perfectly when used to install XP. Has anyone any idea why this should happen? I understand that this is not a problem per se within the context of the forums wonderful ability to solve problems, but as I said I am really curious! I know I'm asking a lot of people to advise on a problem already solved, I'd just like to know!!! Many thanks Alexma

64bit Vista ? ?

This would explain it as those drivers probably weren't even written til well after that MBoard was in production...
