    Use an app like Everest to list all of your devices to use as a checklist.

    PS: Btw, is Flash your 6-in-1 card reader?

    Thanks dodge, that works for me too. If anyone else needs to do this, he means literally pointing to your xp/system32 folder when Vista is asking for the drivers.

    I'm trying to find 3 things for Vista for my 5672.
    Please Help..

    1) Bluetooth Drivers

    2) Webcam Drivers - I installed the drivers which came with Vista update but they dont seem to work. Yahoo and MSN do not detect the webcam at all.

    3) Orbicam SOFTWARE - I tried Logitech website but couldn't find it there. The software given by Acer for XP is not compatible with Vista.

    Have you just tested the readyboost at your "Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller"? What was the result?
