Compatibility Issues
Hi Guys:
Starting to get desperate here!
Last fall bought a new HP with Vista but came with Windows 7 upgrade, sincerely wish I had left Vista on this computer.
So far this is the list of things that don't work. (hundreds of hours of troubleshooting have not resolved)
1. Hp printer/scanner no drivers.
2. Quickbooks 2009 incompatible. (forced to use XP based laptop, a real pain) Intuit has thrown up their hands and won't support 2009 on Windows 7 based machines.
3. Will not read external hard drive
4. Must load wireless router manually. ( current N router)
5. Will not read digital camera, just grinds away endlessly.
6. Will not load firefox half the time, requires full shut down and reload.
Honestly at the point where I will take this system to the warehouse and use it for email only. ( pretty sad )
I honestly do not know what is going on with Microsoft, this OS was clearly released without adequate testing and now we are stuck with it. As a small business owner we rely on being up and fully operating at all times, simply do not have time to fight with computers just to get the basics working.
Any suggestions out there or do you know anyone who has a good XP based machine for sale (maybe a Mac)
Thanks
