Request for Technical Support: Windows Vista

[ukponga]

Hi Guys,
My Acer Aspire 3683WXi Notebook came with Windows Vista Home Basic Operating Systems pre-installed on it. However, while trying to install hardwares like my cell phone (Nokia N93), my digital camera (Sony DSC 150), Transcend USB2.0 flash disk and Belkin F8T012 bluetooth adapter, the computer returns the message 'Windows could not find the driver software for your device' even when the installation CDROM has been inserted into the E:\ drive in each case, and therefore these devices do not work at all, even though they are recognized and listed by the 'Device Manager'.
I will be very grateul for any help you can give on this. With very best regards.

go to the home websites of each item and look for vista firmware/software compatability upgrades....drop them and email too....some manufacturers missed the boat to be automatically included in the release or were left out, lol....
