I have RC2 Build 5744 installed on a Dell Inspiring E1705 Laptop and it runs
great. I bought a HP DeskJet 460 Mobile printer. I can get the print driver installed and it will print, however, when I try to install the software (toolbox etc), I get the message "Setup Error - Internet Explorer 5.0 or later Required". In order to use We-If or Bluetooth on the printer, I must install the toolbox. Does anyone have any idea how I can "trick" the HP Software to treat IE 7 as IE 5 or higher? Thanks, Lee Steele |

Sorry, Typo - Should be Wi-If not We-If

I had the same problem until I decided to let the native drivers install
without the assistance of the CD from HP. The printer was found and works just fine, but I don't have all the "bells and whistles". You may want to simply add the printer and see if Vista already has a driver. If it works, you won't have full functionality but at least you will be able to print! ![]() "Lee Steele" wrote: I have RC2 Build 5744 installed on a Dell Inspiring E1705 Laptop and it runs great.

Thanks, Lee Steele I think that's one of the things you'll have to wait for until HP decides to convert some of its drivers to Vista. I have a DeskJet 9650 and couldn't install it for some reason or other and went to HP Support. I was told drivers and such for Vista would not be worked on until Vista is released. I hope that doesn't mean January, but it probably will. -- Nancy Ward Windows Live Butterfly Windows Live Messenger MVP 2004-2006 |
