re-installing hardware drivers

Vista is now installed and functional however all my drivers for my motherboard and video card etc are not installed is it safe (more or less) to go ahead and install these drivers from the manufacture disk + updates from manufacture?
Basically I am asking will most hardware drivers work under vista.

Sean,
From what I've seen, most drivers that are available for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 will work in Vista.

Beg to differ on this one! Many of the drivers that came with my computer did not even install on Vista, had to go to various sites to download drivers for Intel chipsets and graphics. Sound did not work at all until I found a new driver.
