rawalex - same as I just told bausch, but that said, there are "solutions out there" but I have not made them work yet. And trust me, I have done similar things over the past 20 years so I SHOULD in theory know how to do this... lol
Yup, I am in the same boat (I still have boot disks for ms-dos and pc-dos somewhere around here). I truly think that the biggest problem at this point for most people is thinking that Vista is an "upgrade", which it really isn't. It is an entirely new operating system, and as such, there will be limitations and things missing while the slack, slow, and stupid third party companies get around to writing drivers and such. I know, example, that my personal laser printer (Brother) won't make the vista cut because it is a weird off model (Canada only) and isn't well supported even with XP at times. I can make it work (using a driver for a similar printer, but I won't get all the features), but I guess I can just go out and spend $100 for a new one.

Give it a couple of months, and most of the slackers (except Apple) will have caught up.
