However.... my printer doesnt work, my wireless keyboard / mouse doesnt work.... his wireless mouse and keypad doesnt work.... and I assume its because they are not compatable with Vista. Anyone had that trouble..and if so is there a way around it? Something I dont know?
I did go to the HP site for the printer and it said there wasnt an updated driver.....yet.
PS...the $40 transfer cable is a godsend!!! Moved ALL our stuff!
Thanks
some of us haven't even made the jump to XP yet...
