working drivers so far

Hi this is my first attempt at installing any version of vista. I have downloaded the current public beta and installed it and so far all of my hardware is working driver wise at least. Below is a list of the hardware I have in my PC and what I did if anything to get the drivers to work in vista. Im running the 32bit version build 5384.
Mother Board
Asus P4P800 Deluxe
No additional drivers required (presnt at install)
Nic
OnBoard 3Com 3C940
Manually installed the XP driver off my original ASUS Motherboard CD.
Working Perfectly
TV Tuners
2x Hauppauge Nova-T (9002) Tuners
Manually installed the drivers (in order, don't worry if you don't install them in order you will get some errors saying that your missing dll's but when you install the rest of the drivers this will correct itself).

This one was a little tricky but it's still quick to do. Download the XP driver installation exe from "http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?Product=4857&dlcentric=1926&Product_Name=Live%21&OSName=Windows+XP" you can't install this as it needs XP but what you can do is download Winzip 10 from www.winzip.com and then open the driver file. Once open extract all of the files to a folder on your desktop them manually install the XP-2000 driver.

Graphics Card
Gainward 6800 Ultra
Dowanload and install the vista beta drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_88.61.html
Working Perfectly
Belkin F5U220 5 Port USB PCI Card
No additional drivers required (presnt at install)
Working Perfectly
Multiport Camera Card Reader
Not sure what make this is but it uses cmwatch as a driver/app
Intermittant works occasionally as a mass storage device will continue to investigate.
Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keybaord and Explorer Mouse
No additional drivers required (presnt at install)
Working Perfectly
Microsoft Media Centre Ir Port and Remote
No additional drivers required (presnt at install)
Working Perfectly
Microsoft USB Fingerprint Read
Manually installed the driver which seems to install OK but the reader app will not install. (Digital Persona)
Untested hardware that I will check later.
Canon MP150 Samsong SPP 2020 bluetooth photo printer Logitech Messenger Plus WebCam
If you need any help installing any of the above I'd be happy to help.

Small update I have installed the XP driver for my belkin 45g wifi card and it seems to be working also my Canon MP150 all i did for that was to plug it in and vista found the drivers online all by itself :)

I have a Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter (F5D7050) and it is working fine in Vista x64. It took me the best part of a day to get working but it was worth it. Here is how to get it working.
Go to http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm and download the USB drivers (3rd option down). Install the Ralink application and don't worry that it comes up as Ralink Wireless LAN Card. Go to Control Panel and right-click your Belkin USB adapter and select Update Drivers. Manully browse for the drivers and go to c:\Program Files (x86)\RALINK\RT7x Wireless LAN Card\Installer\Winx64 and click OK. Select the RT2500usb driver. At this point I selected the Wireless 11g USB 2.0 Stick. Ignore the warnings that the drivers may not be correct for your hardware and the drivers should install fine. The name of the device in Control Panel will change to Wireless 11g USB 2.0 Stick. Finally, right-click on the RALINK application icon in the system tray and select Use Zero Configuration as Configuration Utility.
At this point, my Belkin adapter worked fine and has worked flawlessly since. Please let me know if this helps.
