DS-HMD1 not working with Vista - driver not found

[bland10000]

Finally plugged in a ds-hmd1 into a computer running Vista OS with SS 4.3 installed and Windows goes off searching for drivers but never finds them. Any suggestions where to tell it to look? Any other hmd1 users dealt with this yet?

Have tried both US and Asia-Pacific downloads and neither will recognize the hmd1. Both versions will work with the rh10.

This updated PA driver for Vista contains drivers for all the Hi-MD units including the DS-HMD1 (there is a USB device entry in there for that unit at least). Give that a try.

Yep, that did it, thanks Rich. Must have browsed over it in the download section.

No worries - I didn't bother to look in our downloads section either (I keep forgetting it's in there) I just looked it up on the Sony EU site. Glad you got it up and running anyhows.
