Hey guys

how much better is the final release than beta 2.

i'm still stuck on beta 2 as my dad won't let me buy the final release

I'm looking for 32bit drivers for my F5D8001 v1 (belkin wireless desktop N card). The 'beta' drivers for Vista home premium listed on the Belkin site for the F5D8001 v1 are crap.

1) it's still only in 'beta' when the v2 of the hardware has a final release listed
2) it's not a whole install it's only the driver in a .zip file. Each time I try to install the PC freezes initially and I have to reboot.

I'm wondering if anyone had an actual installer w/ software that will install the drivers on the Vista home premium machine? Thanks.

I've attached the beta download that you get from http://www.belikn.com.

I know it sounds a little funny, but let me explain...

I intalled the beta drivers for the soundblaster ZS-2, for the most part it works ok, exept I only get sound out of the front and center speakers, Unless i go into the media center and play sound there, then it reconizes all speakers.

I notice when i have anything going on with my secondary monitors, the sound gets scratchy graphics...(i.e...scrolling IE, opening window on those screens...ect..), as if there is a problem with data transfer on the main board...(installed defualt main board drivers, no vista avail from what i have discoved)

Well I just installed Vista to find that there is no support for my Creative Sound Blaster Live 24 bit card.

What sound cards are out there that don't use beta drivers? I wanna go pick up a sound card as soon as possible so any help here is much appreciated.
