Hello All

Is there a newsgroup dedicated to Vista only? I have, what I think
are, several Vista problems and wanted to see if this is the best
place to post or if there was another.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately Vista technicians aren't smart enough to know the answer
to all of Vista's problems - upgrade to XP. Seriously.

But what if you bought a Toshiba A215-S7422 and they tell you that some of
the hardware inside is Vista specific and won't run XP? I know it sounds
like bs, but...

My first hit with a search engine.

http://www.nodans.com/index.cfm/2007...-on-Windows-XP

That posting points to this one, and this person claims to have found
all necessary drivers. There are also comments at the bottom of the
page.

I expect it is a lot of work, and isn't something you'll finish in
10 minutes.

Obviously you didn't fully ignore me as you looked at my headers - now
there's a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

IF you don't know the answer, then just shut the f**k up and go back to
posting in googlegroups little wanker boy.

Thanks much for this Paul. Not sure I'm up to all that trouble yet, but at
least it's comforting to know that I'm not alone in this quest.

I apologize to the group for my outburst. Sorry about the archiving thing,
James, I forgot when I did that (but not how )
