Windows Vista Build 5219 Hardware Compatibility List

From IeXwiki

For our latest results, check out the current listing.


This entry shall enable all ieX members to create a list of hardware, that will work with Vista Beta Build 5219, or won't work, so that it's possible to check that even before installation.

For our previous results, check out the Beta 1 listing.


NOTES:

  • An italic entry denotes a piece of hardware that was reported to work previously, but is unconfirmed for this particular build.
    Therefore, new entries should generally NOT be italicized.
  • Please mention if it applies to the 32 or the 64 Bit Build!
  • Please remove the italic font from entries if it is still working with this build!
  • Please post in the right section. Don't just add a "is working this very way" to the not-working list but rather move it to the right section and then add your notes.

How to add add hardware

If your hardware isn't automatically detected and installed by Vista, the first option is to find vista-built drivers, which are in short supply.

The next method is to use compatability mode to run the driver installation program in windows xp mode. If that fails/does not install...

Extract or browse to the folder with the .inf files (driver files) for the device. select every .inf file, and right click them, then click install. After the process has finished, use device manager to install, and navigate to the .inf files' location, then go through them untill you find one that is detected. If none work, tough luck, you'll have to wait until the manufacturer updates the drivers.
