It seems one out of every 3-4 cold boots Vista looks for new devices and reinstalls most all of my hardware, motherboard drivers, soundcard, usb bridge stuff and on and on. Does Vista have short term memory problems? I find it a little irritating but when everythings ready to go, the soundcard defaults to 100% volume and I forget to turn it down.
