Some Vista drivers do not work on Windows Server 2008

[Arris]

Some suggestions:
* Use the right architecture of the driver (x64 / x86)
* Try to install the driver manually by eventually unpacking it using 7-Zip and installing it via the Device Manager (Installing Drivers: Method 2)

.inf file editing links:
* I don’t have any experiences with modifying .inf files but the structure of the inf becomes more clear after reading the following website: MSDN: Overview of INF Files.
* ziyadhosein: Editing the driver setup information file

I think editing .inf files comes down to modifying:
* the hardware id’s of the devices (Device Manager -> Properties of a device -> Details tab -> Hardware Ids in dropdown);
* the OS Signature;
* maybe other properties?

Just my thoughts and a little research.

Good luck! 😉
