Driver request

[pooley]

I have an old Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo C5900 sitting here doing not alot, so I thought i'd have a play and see if I could run Vista on it to help me get to grips with this pos OS.

Problem is I cannot get any sound card drivers, its an on board soundmax AD1986 chipset, have tried the asus ones and they throw up an error on installation, have emailed FS but no reply as yet, so wondering if anyone else has any suggestions before I just blat it back to XP

Cheers

they throw up an error on installation

Have you tried manually specifying the INF driver file (if setup isn't compiled as one package).

Best I could find is this, but it has Asus in the directory path.

had a similar prob with soundmax integrated on dell gx520.

Just ran the installer for the XP driver. It fell over then installed it in compatability mode when vista detected it fell over.

Got an error on next reboot but worked fine!
