IBM R52 A35-1860 Laptop Compatibility with Vista Ultimate

by kummah - 11/24/08 9:26 PM

I recently installed Vista Ultimate on my IBM and it installed wonderfully and performing well!

I have 2 concerns
1. The built-in Bluetooth Peripheral Device does not install saying that the driver not being found. I tried installing the IBM suggested Application and it does not work as expected.
2. The Winbond Trusted Platform Module shows as not compatible with Vista.

My questions are - Where can I find the drivers of the Bluetooth Peripheral Device as I use blueetooth extensively. Secondly, what is the workaround for Winbond Trusted Platform Module compatibility though it does not bother me in my day to day working.

All suggestions and solutions are welcome.

Thank You in Advance!

that you'll find when changing an Operating System. Vista is still broken and still does not support a lot of devices. All you can do is visit the IBM site for updates, or live with it for your built in devices.

I use this on my R-40.

Drivers

If IBM/Lenovo doesn't give you the right drivers for those devices, they will never work under Vista.

Thus far I'm having ZERO luck going backwards on computers that didn't ship with Vista when it comes to getting Vista up and running like it should. Like it should means with no devices that don't work due to driver issues.

In your case you either live without the Bluetooth and TPM or go back to XP.
