Juan I. Cahis,

In the future - if you feel your post is relevant to more than one
newsgroup - please cross-post.

You have muliti-posted here and that only complicates things for you and for
those who might be inclined to assist you.

If you look at your other postings (in microsoft.public.windows.tabletpc
and microsoft.public.windowsxp.general) you will note responses.

If you had chosen to cross-post the message here and there - you would have
two responses on all of them - if the responders followed convention.

Your posts are:

As for your answer - I will repeat it...

Unless you are running Windows Vista - you have no need for Windows Vista
drivers.

If these are 'unified' drivers for Windows XP/Windows Vista - sure - you
could do that.


However - if you are not having ISSUES with your system as it is - if you do
not need new features that *may* exist with new drivers or if you are not
having any trouble with the device in question - there is little to no
incentive to get new drivers anyway.
