If it doesn't say that it supports Vista then you have to proceed on the
assumption that it does not. How else can you do it? The manufacturer would say so if it did because that would be a selling point. Anyway, it was released on June 1, 2005, 18 months before Vista came out. If the manufacturer did not write a new driver since then, it will not work. Cnet reviewed it on 7/13/05: http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/gyratio...-31428447.html The supported operating systems are listed at the end of the specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/gyratio...7.html?tag=sub The manufacturer's support page does not list any downloads so there must not be any driver updates. http://www.gyration.com/t-DownLoads.aspx The Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility List (filtered on Gyration input devices) is he http://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL/Pro...&cid=400&f=86p There is simply no indication that the device will work with Vista. Other than that you can try it but I wouldn't buy one just to find out. "supercoolbabe" wrote in message ...
