Looking some drivers have not loaded properly, what drivers are you using for the ATI Graphics card, perhaps check ATI website for latest drivers - I think there 9.6 cats.

Realtek drivers, check windows update in control panel.

Did your Vista operating system come with SP1 or 2, and are all chipset drivers installed from the disc or Gigabyte website.

Yeah i am using the latest driver for my ATI card think there 9.6 if i remember right for vista64, but as for chipset and onboard sound, i used them off the disk, i did look on the website but didnt know how to install the drivers so gave up, but when i installed the drivers to graph card and then chipset etc i didnt get any errors, so im not sure why im gettin these errors and tbh it sucks when u dont know what ur doing like me lol :confused:

Ive just downloaded the latest chipset but dont get it lol, when i extract it, it brings up 2 files one is RAID other is VGA and i thought VGA ment graph card so i wouldnt think i needed them, but if i do i see theres 2 setup.exe in the folder so not sure which i use if any, and as for the RAID folder do i need them !!!.

I also dl the audio but think i used the wrong set up exe, as there was a vista folder but in there, there was just to many exe lol so i didnt have a clue.

I hope u can understand the above as im rubbish at explaining tech stuff lol.

cheers anyway
