Windows Vista?  I think you're going to be stuck there.  If your cradle is the Kenwood one (label underneath reads KHD-USB1) then there were no drivers released since 2003.  The PhatHack USB 1.1 Drivers are the latest available ones, although I have an outstanding support issue with Cypress (manufacturers of the cradle chipset) where there ARE newer TPP200 drivers but that don't work.

Your best option would be to buy a USB 2.0 cradle, which Vista should support natively.

Ebay is pretty much the only place to find USB2 cradles, or anything else related to the Phatbox/Keg.  Expect to pay around $60.

I suspect that you have a 64-bit system... the ISD drivers don't work on 64bit

sbingner: did you ever have a go at using the 64-bit driver inf I sent you?

everyone else: don't get excited... this was just the current PhatHack drivers with 64-bit like entries, chances of the drivers ACTUALLY working under 64-bit are remote.
