Why does Win 7 X64 not play nice with Vista Drivers
just a little oddity i have noticed, basically i have 2 pc's one has X86 win 7 on it the other has X64 when installing a "Vista" device that comes with both 32bit and 64 bit drivers, the X86 version simply lies to the device and tells it that its vista to make the drivers work but X64 doesnt you have to do it manually, so what is so different about them that the X64 version cant pretend its Vista? and to make matters worse, iv found that if you forget to manually select compatibility mode with X64 the first time it then fails on all subsequent attempts until you clear the registry entries from the failed install out
