I have two computers on 32 bit Vista and the driver for the Epson photo 900
works better than the XP Driver.( I also have a 1200 and an HP4 with jet
direct. I would avoid the 64 bit version as an MSI X2 Athelon machine has had
real problems with DVD/CD Drives and other "real world" devices. I am about
to get a 32 bit install disk from Microsoft wih a new number and "dumb down"
to Vista 32. I am running XP (dual boot) with all kinds of strange devices
and everthing works fine and is faster than Vista by about double. I have a
dual core x2 with 4 gigs of ram and thus "Vista Certified". I am old "cardog"
and I have had every version of Microsoft including the one they bought 30
years ago. I try to be cutting edge but Vista 64 is bleeding edge.
