Disabled hardware in XP Chris 6/13/2007 5:57:01 AM Hi, Due to some faulty hardware in a PC i'm upgrading from Win XP professional, the hardware has been disabled. Is the hardware re-enabled during an upgrade to Vista Business 32bit? I know that this was the case when upgrading from '98 to 2000, it was "by design" that the hardware tables weren't kept, is it the same here? Thanks
