[resolved] VISTA - MESSAGE BODY PROBLEMS

it 's working !!!
more later !
HAMBURGER

I did it at home. Tomy own big surprise, I got no difficulties at all.
(I waited until the last driver for my sanner was out two months ago.)

I don't understand this.

But I'm happy for you, Hbg.

brought the computer home from the shop yesterday .
apparently the two year old lexmark printer might not be compatibible with VISTA !?
so i uninstalled the printer and it worked fine in the shop ... re-connected at home (to a different internet provider - my old one) and could not connect to outlook express .
so i also uninstalled MCAFEE ( ) and it's working fine now !
bought VISTA FOR DUMMIES after the update had been done . woody leonhard - the writer/expert - suggests it's best to have a NEW computer when going to VISTA , another .
i'll try to re-install MCAFEE and see what happens !
wish me luck !

Good luck!

yes , good luck and perserverance seems to be required to upgrade to VISTA !
i now have MCAFEE re-installed but took off the printer since it seems to present integration problems - even though i obtained an updated driver .
the lexmark printer is two years old and seems not fully capable of working in the VISTA environment .
i'll make sure to buy a vista compatible printer - around $ 70 - rather than fussing around with the old one .
i do like the much crisper look of screen displays - both print and pictures .
a/t WINDOWS FOR DUMMIES ( ) starting vista on a brand-new computer is a better option than upgrading - should have bought the book before having the upgrade installed .
hbg(always willing to learn the hard way )

I had had a similar problem with my scanner - but since it works with the VISTA driver no real problem.

things are working well now , but i've left the printer on the floor for now .
the lexmark printer is a rather large one and there are no off-brand cartridges available here - a set is $70
i think i'll look for a small , simple printer that will accept STAPLES brand cartridges - even though a warning comes up when they are being installed .
