    I guess you guys installed Windows Vista and ran Windows Update to check if there are driver update for Chipset, VGA, WLAN and others?

    It's the only possibility I can think of as neither ASUS nor Intel have any kind of Vista/beta drivers for Windows Vista in their website.

    How did you get your Bluetooth to install? Wont install correctly for me.
    Also I have a "!" next to the Ricoh MMC Host Controller, even after updating from windows update.
    Dont get the nvidia update off windows update. Use default, and get the mod inf file from laptopvideo2go.

    oh i didnt get the bluetooth working, my bad. I tried that modded inf file from that webpage but couldnt get it to work.... i got the same message. perhaps i did something wrong. I just added the inf files from the .zip inside the main .zip file and added them all then to the normal nvidia setup files, is that wrong?

    My bluetooth is not working yet either. I did use the modified inf and got the nvidia drivers to load and got the performance score raised from 1 to 3 so aero glass SHOULD run but it is not working...anyone else run into this?

    So far I like Vista...

    1. Download 88.61 from nvidia.com
    2. Double click on exe file after download, it will extract it to a directory of your choice.
    3. Download modded inf file
    4. Copy the modded inf file to the directory that the nvidia drivers extracted to (I use c:\nvidia\88.61
    5. Say YES to overright file that is in there
    6. Run setup.exe
    7. It should detect your card, reboot, and you're set.

    Finally got aero glass to work...it turns out that if you have apple quicktime starting up automatically when you start your computer it contains something called qttask.exe that is not compatable with vista and will NOT allow the glass features to work. Disable that and glass runs perfectly.

    Still no bluetooth or sound for me however...
