you didn't mention if you installed the chipset drivers for your MoBo...

where did you get the drivers for you hardware (from the manufacturer or did you let window$ update deal with it)?

and have you by any chance installed the beta SP3...there are rumblings about the new Vista SP killing of things like certain DVD decrypters do it wouldn't really surprise me if Micro$oft was playing other games at this point....I'm kind of sick and dead tired so I am going to bed, so don't expect another response from me until at the earliest tomorrow night...
