Vista 32bit on Asus Eee PC Seashell - unknown device - security messages

[Scrooge]

I want to install Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit on an Asus Eee PC Seashell (1015PW). On the homepage of Asus no Vista drivers are offered. Normally the Windows 7 drivers worked (Asus Support).
But one device driver is still needed: ACPI\ASUS010. I had the impression that the ATK driver could be the right one. But the Windows7 driver is not accepted by Vista.



Another problem is that at the Windows start, there will always be 3 security alerts. Regardless of whether I mark the appropriate box or not. How can I mark individual files as files with low risk?

Apparently the author did this

I’ve so far been able to get the the ACPI utility to stop complaining about the Intel Utility. I did this by downloading the Windows Vista 32bit Driver from the Intel Website. It’s the Intel 945GM Chipset that the eee PC 1000 uses.

My eeepc runs linux so I didn't have to search for drivers. I'm still running the original install and when I want to surf safely, I boot from a newer linux USB stick.

I have almost proceeding as described. However I used the Intel chipset driver: nm10 (tigerpoint). Here also the installation was enforced along with warnings. But the device manager was clean afterwards.
Now I've even made a BIOS update. After the following restart, four device drivers were automatically installed (one was Blutooth, the other I do not remember). I wonder if that alone might have helped too. But I would rather doubt it.
The problem with the warnings (igfxtray.exe, etc.) I solved not very elegant by removing the programs from the autotart via msconfig.

BIOS updates can be magical - especially back in the days of Vista and Windows 7.

What OS did the system come with originally?

Is the version of Vista that you are trying to install a full retail version or did it come from another system?

it comes with Windows 7 Starter and Vista comes from another system.

If Vista is not a full retail version and it came installed on another system (it's called an OEM Version of Windows), you CANNOT use that copy of Vista from the other system on this system.

When you purchase a system that has Windows already installed on it, that OS dies with that system. No exceptions.

Your only option is to install Widows 7 starter back on to this system.

If you did not burn a set of Recovery discs for W7 starter when you first got the system, you can purchase a replacement set for most systems -

OEM + Microsoft Windows Replacement Media (OS DVDs)

The only possible alternative is if the system has the original HDD in it, the W7 Starter HDD Recovery partition may still be on it. You can use it to reinstall Windows 7.

Here are the possible combination of F-keys to get to the recovery partition - Get access to BIOS settings & Boot Menu: F-keys/Hotkeys by System Manufacturer (OEM)

In Germany, the legal situation has been decided by the highest court:
"A software manufacturer can not enforce its interest in the fact that a program version offered at a favorable price is only sold together with a new PC, in such a way that it grants from the outset only one usage right limited in this sales channel the circulation or circulation of the manufacturer or with his consent, the transfer is free due to the exhaustion of the copyright distribution right regardless of its content restrictions of the granted right of use."
(I use a automatic translator. I hope it's understandable)

It simply means, that a license key that has been circulated once can be sold and used as long as it is only installed on one computer.
