you need vista drivers which arent supported by the disk. Go here>>>>
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us
and download the relevent drivers for vista wether it be 32bit or 64bit

and looking and the download list it looks like it's not compatable for vista yet :-(

Have you tried right clicking the motherboard Cd setup.exe and selecting xp compatibility mode. XP drivers will often work in Vista, although sometimes with a few limitations.

Drivers for peripherals come in this order, from newest to oldest:

Actual manufacturer-- Marvell, etc.
Mobo manufacturer-- Asus, Intel, etc.
System Seller-- Dell, etc.

I suggest you go to the homepage of each peripheral maker......................... Marvell looks like they provide a vista driver, your mobo has an acpi download

also, read your manual-- VIA is NOT your chipset(integrated Intel graphics driver provided shoulda been a clue)...it's Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...%2032&lang=eng
and: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...llName=Windows Vista* 32&lang=eng
and: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...llName=Windows Vista* 32&lang=eng
and: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...4&submit=Go%21
and # 3 & 4 here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...l&submit=Go%21

as far as soundmax-- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102002

As you know, most stores have clearance items-- $20 will get a decent soundcard(disable onboard audio in bios), a few dollars more a graphics card(eons better than integrated graphics), half of that an ethernet card.... all fairly modern & w/ vista drivers.

Sorry you'll have to spend money, but you'll be getting way better sound.
In case you ever need to identify any peripheral....Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...11691&lang=eng and others: http://www.halfdone.org/ukd/

i have installed my ati radeon saphire x1150 graphics card so i dont have any problems with the graphics card and everything else seemed to run by using compatibility mode when installing things
