  • Vista 64 drivers..

    Whenever I have mentioned anything about installing a 64bit OS and compatibility, some have been very quick to say “no compatibility problems here’ What they actually mean is that all motherboard devices are detected. In some cases, drivers for peripheral devices are available, especially if the devices...

  • Add Bloat To Taste

    Actually, I hate the word 'bloat', but I use it now because it is bandied around quite a lot. According to sources, the next version of Windows will no longer include an e-mail client, picture viewer, and MovieMaker. It is said that this will benefit the user in as much as the latest versions...

  • Vista's 1st Birthday..

  • Canon Lide and Vista..

    Canon have now released an official Vista driver and ToolBox for the venerable Lide 30 (and all of the Lide range).

  • Vista OS Upgrades - General

    You should have no major problems as long as you do some research.. However, some drivers that have been supplied for inclusion in the Vista installation are still in their infancy.. this applies particularly to video drivers.. some are better than others, and you may well find that you do not have all...
