It's not correct! ...if i Uncheck the Allow USB Connections the device is not present in the list ...

The drivers not recognized by Vista....:mad:
Have you a solution?

If only new users spend some time reading wiki, everything is there... When I had to upgrade using windows vista, it worked the first time... I just read and follow the step by step instruction from wiki...

Dangit, I can get these upgrades to work when I'm at work on an XP machine, but I can't for the life of me get it to work on my home Vista 64bit machines. And yes, I HAVE read the wiki, and this post, and that post and many other posts that all give the same directions.

Disabling driver signature enforcement on the 64bit driver doesn't do any good either. It gives an error trying to install the driver.

You just gotta love computers. A ton of people can get something to work, and then a person that programs for a living will come along and can't get it to work. Makes you feel like a total goober. *sigh*

Maybe I have an old XP machine gathering dust in storage somewhere. *grumble*
