Vista - Dell AIO 966 problems

09-29-2008

I have Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 531 Dual Core 2.30 Ghz system
with 1 Gig of RAM. My AIO printer is a Dell 966.

I've DLd and installed all the latest drivers and updates from the Dell
site, but I still have problems with the AIO Control Center. It takes
forever to load, goes through several stages of the famous "Not Responding",
and then runs about 70% of the time. Other times it stops responding and
stays that way, and occasionally shows the spalsh screen and never gets any
further than that.

The printer and software never caused any problems with my old XP system,
and Dell says the drivers it offers are all Vista specific.

Any suggestions?

Thanx,

Buddha

That's a question you'd be best asking Dell since they wrote their Control
Center software.
