This looks like a mod of NT or 2000, not XP. I had to revert to non XP drivers to get my HP G85 all in one to work. Also, I get a PSTA intall that cannot find the driver, any idea what this is?

Hmmm...regarding the install popup - I had a similar problem with XP a couple of years ago. It kept wanting me to insert my Office disk to install something or other. And of course, I couldn't find the disks. Eventually, I uninstalled Office just to get rid of the annoyance. Do you have the disks? If so, maybe that will help? Not sure, just throwing out a suggestion.

Not sure what a PSTA is, but I'll dig around and see if I come up with anything.

Uninstalling 2003 Office Pro seems to have elimanted the problem. I will try to reinstall it tomorrow and see. Thanks The PSTA Plugin and unknown device issues still plague me. I can understand the device crivers not all being there, but cannot find a device that is not working. Oh well, one at a time.

You might want to download the beta version of Office 2007 - http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...etthebeta.mspx

From what I have seen... the device driver issue is to do with motherboards. It doesnt effect perofrmance so I wouldn't worry about it. If you can, get a newer Vista build and that will sort your issue.

my system was labed at 1.4 the major problem is the synaptics touchpad and cyberlink power dvd witch ive had to do a system restore 3 times couse it crashes.. i love the program but the last time it crashed it took my hard drive with it , and i had to send it back to gateway ,they had to replace the hd... so my ultamate question is a upgrade or complet install better.......

[dazzlin]

I've only upgraded, so I only have direct experience with that, but from everything I've read and heard, a fresh, complete install is the best way to go. Still, I had no real problems with upgrading.

[dazzlin]
