    I have the same error when trying to install these drivers on a Dell 1520 with 32Bit Vista Home Premium (Using the 32 Bit Drivers). Just says basically "the driver being installed is not validated for this computer. please obtain the appropiate driver from the computer's manufacturer" and then stops.

    For the 32 bit Vista, you have to uninstall your current X3100 drivers and then install the new one

    Not sure about 64-bit
