I found the display adapter (ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics), ethernet controller (Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller) through the Hardware Identifier, and the 02 SD Card reader though Vista's 'Problem Reports and Solutions' pane. Vista was successfully activated. My friend is just going to have to manually shut down the computer (or leave it on at all times). All the drivers are now installed.
I'm still having the problem of Windows Update not doing anything. I clicked 'check for updates', but it's stuck at that.
