Looking for Vista Drivers? These Guys Have Them All

One of the biggest frustrations with installing a new operating system is finding, downloading and installing all the various device drivers you need to work the gizmos and doodads in your PC.  Most support websites are difficult to navigate, as if they're intentionally trying to hide the drivers from you, making you sift through dozens of menus and links to get to the software that will power your peripherals and expansion cards.

In response to this, a site has stepped up with an up-to-date and regularly maintained database of all known hardware drivers for Windows Vista.  Currently at over 300 drivers linked, RadarSync has what is likely to become one of the most useful pages on the Internet.

If you're trying to find a driver for Vista, definitely give this site a look.

Don't understand the rave reviews on this site. Have sampled several of these drivers and have yet to find even ONE that is current! For example, the ATI driver link points to the old Beta version. A link to an Intel Wireless Pro driver is older than the one at the Intel site, plus, it's for Dell computers, not a generic driver. A link to C-media drivers for "Vista" is actually a link to a 2003 vintage driver; the c-media site (last I checked) did not have, and was not going to have, Vista drivers.

I agree with you Mark! I have intel 82845g onboard graphics which intel states they will not be releasing vista drivers for so I hit google to find an answer. When I found this site & they had a driver listed I thought I had found my answer only to find the driver was very old & for a toshiba laptop. Please be very wary when using this site!!!

PS just in case anyone else has the same graphics I do - the latest release of the drivers from the intel support site work great with vista, you do have to install the driver manually from device manager

It would be nice if you could do a search on this site for your one driver needed!

RadarSync is rubbish. After reading this post I went for a look because I'm missing a few drivers. The website is just as difficult if not worse than any other driver download site. The main page has a list of links to drivers however none of them give any clue to what versions the drivers actually are and although it keeps saying how it's free you'll very soon discover that in order to actually get any use from the site you'll have to pay for a premium membership. I hate the way these guys lie right to my face and then ask for my money. Also the RadarSync toolbar crashes IE7 every time I try to use it.

I have the Intel 82845G graphics controller on my motherboard too. Do you mean that if I download the latest drivers for other models from Intel that they'll work and I'll be able to use them with Vista?
