Will Vista-Native drivers work in XP Pro?
CD and Mitheral get Best Answers. CD because three of his links are links that I used (the first two and the last) to get some working drivers. Mitheral because HP hid the drivers so well that their support database couldn’t find them for me, so I did a live chat with a support agent (that lasted two hours!) who took roughly twenty minutes per link to find pages for me to get valid XP drivers from. I earned every penny of my fee last night. I’m very glad to be done with this system. There is one thing…A “Network Controller” device in the “Other Devices” area of the Device Manager. All devices installed fine, and both the ethernet connection and the 1394 connection (technically a network device, stupidly) check out, so it appears to be a quirk of new hardware with wonky drivers. Now, if I can just get the client to stop buying grey market software, we’ll be in good shape.
