| Vista Home Premium 64 bit | DVD Word Processing Recording Please help! I obtained a 64 bit Vista Home HP Pavillion 9700 Laptop; the idea was, I would write data to the DVD drive, on RW discs, then insert in my PC - but when I wish to make changes on same, am told the Disc is 'Read-Only.' (1)) Please dear brilliant souls, let me know how to revise anything to the DVD disc... (2) Also, I've learned unfortunately of Vista's incompatibility with printers - I've got a great, cheap, light, compatct black and white Canon BJ-100 - its cord doesn't match with 'inlets' on the laptop, and isn't likely compatible with Vista. Any ideas, please! ~ Cheers, and thanks for your consideration of my requests ~ Tom P. |

| | Re: DVD Word Processing Recording Just to clear something up. Your printer cable (on your 15 year old printer) does not match any ports on your computer and you consider that to be Vista's fault? How so? It was your responsibility as an "informed" consumer to be certain that you purchased something compatible - or at least know that your dinosaur had to be retired. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "TomPhillips" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:c60d920bcac9833bdbdd931e6bb5ecb1@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

I suspect your Canon has a Parallel cable and your laptop has a USB port...maybe a Parallel to USB Adapter Cable would be worth a try. I'm thinking your main problem would be drivers...the most recent driver available is for Windows ME.
