    Missing System Interrupt Controller driver on MSI X58

    I purchased a MSI X58 Core i7 board and after installing Vista64, device manager is showing 8 "System Interrupt Controller" devices with missing drivers. I've installed everything on the MSI-provided driver disk, as well as what was on their Web site, specifically the Intel drivers. Is...

    newbie - trouble installing vista to msi x58 platinum

    Yep, tried that too. Browsed to the same folder on the CD. Again, if I uncheck the box in the vista installer that says hide drivers incompatible with my system, the ICH10R drivers are listed, but installing them doesn't cause the drive to show up.

    Fuzzy text on new 22" monitor with nvidia 6800

    I just upgraded my 20" Dell 2005FPW to a 22" SP2208WFP. Both run at a native resolution of 1680x1050. I'm also running a nvidia 6800 card with 256MB video memory. Since plugging in the new monitor, all I can say is that fonts look like a$$. Really, it's very difficult to read text in a title...

    USB 2.0 ports think they're 1.1

    Ian- I have the same problem with a Thinkpad R40. I've found other posts on the Web and the only one that had a resolution was when the user had the system board replaced. I'm well out of warranty, but I'd be curious to know what you find. I'm about to register thinkpadusb.com to collect...
