Yea in vista I was not able to flash a rom so I did the driver change before saw this thread and didnt realize I just had to disable usb. duh!
I could just use system restore to revert back to original drivers, but only difference I noticed using these drivers is that to sync I now need to enable the "Advanced network functionality" checkbox in connections settings tab on my 6700, where before I had to "un-check" it.
So in vista I am using a virtual machine running XP pro, but DUH again I used M$ Virtual PC and this program is not able to have virtual machine recognize the USB, so I have to drag the rom & NOID files out of the virtual machine to Vista to flash.
Anyway this is still ok since before i was using 2 laptops for kitchen.
Was having problems with also with "BuildDSM" no matter all soulutions I tried.
It ran on 2 HP laptops (XP & Vista) and,
Did not run on 2 Gateway laptops (XP & media Center versions).
Just pointing out my experience, not to bash Gateway as I liked all these laptops.
