I have had so many problems with compatibility. Vista was released so we could be the guinea pigs. We are the ones reporting all the glitches. Yes there was a problem with that. When I got my computer I also got an all in one printer as well so i didn't have to worry too much with compatibility. But most things now you can get drives for them. Also; when I got my computer I had trouble connecting to the Internet as Orange didn't have the right drives (that was a headache I can tell you). |

I got my printer at the same time as the computer so had no problems installing it.
Getting on the net was nightmare until my IP sent me a vista disc...well after a month or so.
I had to get the driver off the net first off.
I find vista a lot more difficult to manage than xp.

You’ll get used to it, trust me.
I had the same problem... I had to get a special guy in at £25 per hour to help me install the drives for Vista. Orange made up for it – after I complained; they gave me wireless and free phone calls attached to it all for the same price as the standard modem. It is worth kicking up a fuss.

So they should have made it up to you. I had to ring my IP helpline at 50p a minute but luckily the man rang me back or it would have worked out a very expensive call.  |

I had to do the same thing, that is why I kicked up a fuss. It cost a fortune over three days. They kept promising to ring me back and they never did. |

I think the point of it is to stop time wasters asking stupid questions... which is fair enough, but not fair on those that do have a problem because of their supplier. |

I know what you mean about time wasters.I have read some of the things some people have rung about. Like this...source..MH. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.  |

Nice one.... some people just don't know how to think for themselves.... but then again we've all done stupid things in our life.  |

At least I am not alone. The forum seems slow to load for me tonight. All the other windows I have open are fine. |

Yes, it seems to have been doing that late last night. I think all forums have this problem occasionally.
