Usually with that error message you also get which driver is involved. Since
you left out that information, I can only guess that it is the driver for
your network adapter. If the network adapter is onboard, make sure you've
got Vista-compatible drivers for the motherboard. Otherwise, update the NIC
drivers and make sure your NIC is compatible with Vista. If there is any
question that it isn't - perhaps it's an older NIC - just replace it with
one that you know will work with Vista. NICs are cheap.
