We recently set up my husband's E1705 (with Vista), instead of my older and slower (painfully slow at times) 1150 (with XP). I installed the 'drivers and utilities' software from CD onto the 1705. After many attempts with no printing, I now see that neither the printer nor our digital camera are on the 'compatible' list for Vista. Is there anything that we can do so that we don't have to use my computer exclusively when we want to print or upload digital pics? Thanks! -- LeAnn

Rather than use the manufacturer's CD(s) which are probably very old, look at the device manufacturer's websites for the most up to date driver packages. For a digital camera, the quickest and easiest way it to use a card reader. It saves attaching the camera to the PC itself, the card will be seen as a 'removable drive' and can be accessed just like you access your hard drives and optical drives through Windows Explorer. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "LeAnn" wrote in message news:BD3840CE-CC1B-4F05-B57E-EC8EF36FEA78@microsoft.com... > We recently set up my husband's E1705 (with Vista), instead of my older > and > slower (painfully slow at times) 1150 (with XP).

Dell A940 AIO personal printer drivers for Vista 32 are available. Watch long URL wrap and go here http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_ALL_A940&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid= and change the Operating System to vista32. or the tiny url is: http://tinyurl.com/2kvuc5 Now, as for the camera. What type of media is the images stored on (SD, Memory Stick, Flash card, etc.)? If you can't interface the camera directly, purchase an add-on USB card reader (Google for the type of card reader needed) and put your memory card in that reader after you purchase and install it. Hope this helps, let us know.
