Activation Foibles Due To Silicon Image 3114 SATA/RAID Drivers

If your computer is using an on-motherboard or add-in card 3114 SATA chipset from 
Silicon Image, there have been reports that the current drivers for the card are 
not playing nice with Vista, resulting in Vista wanting to be activated every day.

The original poster in the MS WGA Forum thread was using 64 bit drivers; it's unknown 
whether the problem is in the 64 bit drivers only, or both 64 bit and 32 bit drivers.

According to a post in the following WGA Forum thread, SiI is working on the issue 
and is expected to have the problem corrected in the near future.  That post also 
links to beta drivers that are expected to correct the problem; the usual precautions 
regarding beta software and drivers apply.
