Dont hold me too it but I had the same problem when with my gaming rig when I installed Vista, however in my case it was just the driver for the wireless card. I simply reinstalled the software from the cd and it was fine. For some reason if you dont have the cd you can go to the manufacturers web site from a different pc of course and save the drivers to a cd or some form of flash card or external hard drive. Hope this helps.
