vista upgrade advisor beta

I ran it on my computer and it said that my computer was ready. Here's what else it said, however. The caps I'll be using is not intended to be shouting and it's just to make it stand out and make it easier to read...

If so, you should contact the device manufacturer to see if they have a more recent device driver. Category: Printers. Model: Canon i560 Category: Mice and other pointing devices. Model: HID-compliant MX510 Optical Mouse Category: Display adapters. Model: RADEON X1600 Series Secondary Category: Network Adapaters. Model: NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Category: Sound, Video, and Game controllers. Model: Creative Game Port Category: Human Interface Devices.

So with all this, any advice to give me. From experience, what have you managed to work and what haven't you at this point in the game? Thanks.
By the way, I installed my new power supply. It was so big that I had to move my case fan on the top to the outside of my computer instead of the inside because the PSU was in the way.

OK, Where is the vista upgrade advisor?

That advisor is still in beta and the notes it gives about your drivers are in my case atleast quite wrong.
In my case it says that drivers are available for something that they certainly aren't available for, and then it says drivers are not available for stuff that already works very well in Vista and has drivers..
Most likely you will get atleast some functionality out of the devices even if they do not have Vista specific drivers. And that functionality is certainly much more than what you'd get out of XP without drivers.

Oh ... would you mind to give us some example of such added functionality?

And that functionality is certainly much more than what you'd get out of XP without drivers.

Without drivers? (Without other drivers than those provided by Windows?)
