So my wife replaced her old eMachine with a brand new Dell Vostro with Windows Vista installed on it. So far my impression of vista is far from stellar. First off, and almost understandably, the USB Wireless adapter is not compatible with it. It's an older model, but really, how hard is it to make a usb device compatible. Once I replaced that, it was time to install the printer, a Xerox Phaser 8500. It's listed as compatible by both Xerox and Microsoft. It's got Vista drivers...and every time it boots up, the pc recognizes the printer and says it needs to install drivers. Once you click find driver automatically, it will churn away for a few minutes and then come back and say it was unable to install the damn thing.
Why is this the case. Most times I can through an Ubuntu disk in a pc and it will find all the devices for you. Macs are just about the same way. Why is it that windows still suffers from this? Pretty certain that I'm going to wipe the install and put xp back on it. -- Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da Wack fall the daddy-o, Wack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar, oh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:282677 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
