I've had several peripherals I've had to specifically point to the System32 folder to find the "generic" ones in order to get them working. Funny - you plug in something and it says "Ah I see you have a such and such made by such and such....but darn! I can't find any drivers!" So much for plug'n'play with Vista. But I'm glad you are back up and running. I'm sure it was NOT a fun experience!! Vista can be picky about drivers no matter how you cut it.
