Future of Supported Devices
I have two printers and a scanner not on the list of supported devices for
Vista. I have heard that Microsoft is adding supported devices as time passes. Is that true? Is there a way to find out when device support is added other than checking the list periodically? Thanks -- Barbara |

Best to check with the manufacturer of the devices.
Microsoft does NOT write device drivers. Any Microsoft distributes, they get from the manufacturer of the device. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Barbara" wrote in message ...

Future of Supported Devices
Hi Barbara,
Devices are added when the manufacturer releases drivers that support them under Vista. You can check the HCL or the manufacturer's site for when or if they become available (I would check the latter first, it may be some time before it gets added to the list). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Barbara" wrote in message ...

I found one on a list of available drivers that came with Vista, but yet the
device is not listed as supported. What's the deal there? -- Barbara "Cal Bear '66" wrote: Best to check with the manufacturer of the devices. Microsoft does NOT write device drivers.
