MSI
* K8T Neo (MS-6702)
o Promise 20378 on-board SATA - Unable to load driver when installing Vista RC1 or once installed.
+ Build 5600 Solution: Disable in BIOS and use only the on-board VIA VT8237 SATA until Promise are able to supply a compatible driver.
+ Build 5728 Solution (x64): Setup a 1 disk Raid0 in the BIOS and load the Promise 20378 Windows x64 driver when setting up drives during Vista install.
o Realtek 8110C/8110S LAN - Conflict may exist between on-board LAN and Via VT8237 SATA when booting.
+ Solution: Disable Realtek LAN in BIOS and install LAN card. Manually clear the CMOS with the on-board jumper to access the BIOS & disable the on-board LAN.
o Realtek ALC655 - Vista will automatically install VIA AC '97 sound driver. General sound issues such as skipping and hiss may be heard.
+ Solution: Install Realtek AC 97' Vista Beta Sound Driver (6156) [Note: Tested Beta Sound Driver fine in build 5728]
o A major problem with many systems with SATA Controllers is that sound, specifically when playing MP3s, will skip when using the new drivers supplied with Vista RC1.
+ Solution: "Downgrade" the driver for your SATA Controller, the Via VT8237 in this instance, for a fairly recent XP driver. Sound skips are now a thing of the past.
[+ Note: This problem has been fixed with build 5728 so there is no need to change the Via VT 8237 driver from the installed MS Vista driver.]

Nero 7 is now (semi?) officially Vista compatible with their October update.

http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero [...] Notes.html

If you check you'll find that most if not all of the suite applications are now Vista ready. It has somehow screwed up my WMP settings but I don't mind (for now) since Showtime is a much better player anyway. I've already played a movie and it worked flawlessly with better video quality than WMP. I think Ahead licenses the player from CyberLink. Nero Vision works fine as does Burning ROM. I haven't tried Recode yet. With Vison I no longer need to rely on Media Center and its ridiculous DRM restrictions to burn recorded media to DVD. There's also a new Vista version of DVRMSToolbox (1.2.0.2) that you can use to preprocess the video before transcoding.

Thanks Ahead!

Make this a sticky...

Also, not to nitpick or anything, but as far as Daemon Tools goes, there is both an X64 and X86 version for Vista, and it's 4.0.6 (I don't think any other 4.0.x will work).

EDIT: if you are upgrading from RC1 to RC2, make sure you uninstall Daemon Tools first; from what I've read, it won't work unless you uninstall and then reinstall after the upgrade.

As always, check the manufacturers website for more details on exact drivers, updates and issues on software.

When I find out if it works or not, it'll be added. If new issues come up with the item in question, it will be either added or removed. For the most part, this will be updated daily.

Also check the Vista Updates, Drivers & Patches sticky for exact information, and locations of the latest drivers and patches that are Vista compliant.

Whats up bro.
I've double checked this and updated the guide. Thanks. Nit picking is allowed.

This actually NEEDS to be a sticky, or it will be lost in the sea of posts.

Thanks for that.
I'm thinking of adding the new Asus 4x4 boards, but I'm not sure if I should do this now, or wait for the actual introduction of 4x4 to the market.
