sh-d162c drivers for vista

[p$p b0y]

anyone know where i can find these? when ever i try to connect it to my laptop (through an external case, into usb) and use the drivers that came with it, i get an error saying:

windows found driver software for your device, but encountered an error while attempting to install it

an error occured during the installation of the device:

the driver installation file for this device is missing a neccesary entry. this may be because the INF was written for windows 95 or later. contact your hardware vendor

if you know the manufacturer of the device, you can check the support section for driver software


can anyone help?

PS. i did a search, and non of the other threads solved this problem, i also searched google, but couldnt find an answer

i tried that mate, its a firmware (dispite the "drivers" name :( )

the annoying thing is, it works fine under xp, but not vista

My kreon drive works fine under vista.. Are you using a legit copy of vista? As I know that the update for people using the Timestoip version of vista has deleted all CD/DVD drive drivers.



ASH

yeah, im 99.9% sure its a legit copy (well, id very much doubt curry's would sell laptops with illegal versions of vista)
this might be stupid, but would i be able to use the drivers on the xp pc and copy them to vista, and get it to work that way?

if so, anyone know where they are on xp?

I really doubt you´re missing drivers for the drive itself. Sounds more like
a problem with USB. Did you try a diff. USB-adapter yet ?

[p$p b0y]

not yet, because it works on other pc's just not the laptop, so i thought it could be vista (since all the others are xp)

im using a 100% legit version of vista ultimate like ash, and it works fine all the time no problems,
