| | Re: Windows Xp devices and Windows Vista Devices In general you can't count on it working. There is a chance if you are talking about Vista x86. There is zero chance if you are talking about Vista x64.

| | Re: Windows Xp devices and Windows Vista Devices The simple answer is "maybe". You can try accessing the manufacturer's web site and see if they have updated drivers for it to run in Vista. If no luck there, you can try installing it anyway and see if the supplied drivers will run under Vista. By the way, it would help if you would identify the device.
