Oops, I pressed Enter instead of Tab on that last post.

Here's my related system hardware:

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
1.0 GB OCZ Platinum [2x 512 MB Dual Channel]
ASUS EAX850 Pro
2 WD Raptor 74GB [nvRAID]
Canon Pixma MP500 Multifunction

Drivers are my issue at this time. Will Server 2003 x64 drivers work? I read that Vista more closely resembled Server 2003 than XP. I need the following drivers:

nForce4 SLI AMD [PCI Express]
Realtek ALC850 AC'97
Canon Pixma MP500 Multifinction

Also, there are a couple of "Unknown Devices" which I cannot identify.

nVidia would probably have the drivers on their website, but remember that you are running the Beta. And a 64-bit Beta at that, which makes the drivers even more rare.

Thanks people.

I gave up on it for the day, with many failures and only 1 success. The Canon Pixma MP500 XP x64 drivers installed and operate without problems. nVidia has drivers from nForce4 + in the "Beta section"; however, they don't come with an installer and the instructions are poor. Realtek also has Beta drivers. They won't load properly.

I was wondering: Why is it that when I right click the .INF files and choose "Install", I get the "Installation failed." error message every time?
