    Hello,

    I've just upgraded to Vista from Windows XP Pro.
    I'm using Parallels 3.0 Build 4128.

    Everything went well until the end whem I discovered that there are no ethernet drivers in Vista.. it doesn't know where to find them. XP had worked fine with Ethernet.

    Vista asks for drivers. This is on a Mac Pro which uses Realtek 8029. Do I go and use drivers for that or where do I find ethernet drivers for Vista?


    Thanks,

    Tim

    Youve installed Parallels Tools again, after the upgrade right ?

    64-bit or 32-bit?

    By any chance - did you buy Vista 64-bit? You can get a fully working set of Windows drivers for the MacBookPro by installing Apple Boot Camp first. These work great...however The MacBookPro drivers that come with Apple only work with Vista 32-bit. I found that out the hard-way -- I had to de-install 64-bit and re-install Vista 32-bit.
