Yesterday, I installed Vista 64 bits on my new computer. My sound card is my old Audigy 2 ZS. I installed the latest Creative driver that I found on the Creative web site (SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0001). The sound card seems to work correctly because I can ear my speakers, but when I look at the Control panel/System/Device Manager, I see a exclamation mark before "PCI Input Device". I know the problem, comes from the sound card because the exclamation mark disappear when I take off the sound card. I would like to know where can I find the missing driver and if this situation can cause my any problem in the future.

My computer: Windows Vista 64 bits Home Premium (French version)
CPU: Intel Q9450
Motherboard: Asus Rampage formula
Video Card: ATI Sapphire HD4870
Gaming wheel: Logitech Wingman Formula Force (not plugged yet)

Thanks,

I think this might be the midi game port device, which may not be operational under Vista x64. But that is just an educated guess, and more guess than education.

I am having the same problem. Thing is that when I was using F7 Bios for my Gigabyte GA965P-DS3 There was no PCI Input Device missing. Once I upgraded the Bios to F13 it suddenly Vista x64 found the Game Controller part of the Audigy 2 ZS card and can't get it to go away.

I know I can just ignore it but seems like if it had no problem before that this issue could be fixed
