Hi Guys, Dynomutt Here, just to highlight that if you install the Nvidia SATA IDE drivers from windows update on Vista64 OEM then windows will require reactivation by phone both me and my neighber have simlar systems and have both had same problem, my mate tried phone activation after the update but it failed to reactivate, saying that his copy of Vista was already installed on a different machine. i personally did not try reactivation and just rolled back the drivers using device manager, this allowed Windows to be reactivated.
this is a very big mistake on MS's part I mean somthing as simple as a driver update from MS own windows update causing a stupid problem like this is utterly rediculous and hopefully will get rectified, having genuine windows appears to be more of a pain than running pirated copies, MS needs to sort this ASAP, oh and Nvidia needs to get some decent NF4 drivers out as the current state of affairs is not acceptable, hopefully we havent been abandoned.
anyway rant over. post any other AMD Nforce4 problems here if you please.
