Hi VG! I was wondering if the "family pack" will let you install a combo of x86 + x64 on the three computers. It would be a problem for many if you were only allowed to install one or the other...

Rahul,
If there are no vista drivers at the websites of your hardware vendors, then there can be no other places you can get them.

@ All: You have to understand that VG has a wide array of AskVG readers.The requests can at times be quite overwhelming and, as VG stated he has to please everyone which can be difficult for him at times.That being said,IMHO I believe VG is doing an exceptional job at this!I myself would not want this onus to be on me alone.Vg has limited help so basically all he does is on his own.Has anyone ever asked him if he could use some help of any kind? Come on guys we are all here for the same purpose,at least I hope we are?Let's all come together and make this the best website of all times and, build on what VG has already offered us!All of us can give our views to help VG make his decisions easier.Complaing get's us nowhere and puts undo frustration on VG.Please be proactive and not react to situations as being proactive almost always gets better results.Keep in mind that your membership is free and VG has offered all of us all he can which has been a multitude of knowledge offerings which, in many cases he could charge a fee for!Please give VG a break. Thanks everyone!PS:Just my two cent's worth whether you agree or not? Cheers to VG the man with all the knowledge !
