    Driver disc 'Not for this Mobo?'
    « on: October 20, 2009, 05:25:37 AM »
    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...

      PS. Double check the manuf. website...they should have them by now.
      Burn them to CD for future reference...
