| Vista Home Basic | Re: ip4200: Vista Home Basic Fails, but Home premium works also i have tried copying the set of dll files from Home Premium that work to a folder on the desktop and changing the drivers thru Device Manager, but it wont change them, it will say i already have the most up-to-date installed. |

| | Re: ip4200: Vista Home Basic Fails, but Home premium works On the machine that works, the drivers and language monitor are those included in Vista. Go ahead and install the driver manually on the basic machine (use Add Driver on printers folder, Server Properties (run as administrator) -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

| Vista Home Basic | Re: ip4200: Vista Home Basic Fails, but Home premium works no - it wouldnt let me manually point to old drivers to install, it would say the present ones are most up-to-date. Since it is a new computer install, (not much to redo) i just started over with reinstalling vista clean. After vista only, the printer worked fine using vistas drivers. THen after installing the motherboard drivers and vga drivers, etc, then openoffice, it went back to the same problem. Now i can plug it in and it doesnt even show a popup that a USB device has connected. Printer still works fine on the laptop. And at least USB mouse works fine on the desktop. SO i will start fresh again, do a step by step trial, and see what is causing the conflict. (i updated the motherboard bios by the way and it made no difference.) Long story short = its not vista its my new motherboard setup SOMEWHERE... thanks for trying to help. |

| Vista Home Basic | Re: ip4200: Vista Home Basic Fails, but Home premium works ok the culprit was a driver packaged within about 10 drivers that are part of the ATI video chipset CATALYST update. I unchecked and didnt install AMD USB FILTER DRIVER 1.0.6.0. Now everything works fine. |
