    I have XP Home installed. I like to buy different gadgets to use on my computer for my business and was wondering that when I want to download a driver for XP and it is not listed, would NT drivers be compatible or just look for XP drivers only?
    Thanks.

    :D

    You'd probably have much better luck with Win2k drivers. Probably won't hurt to try the NT drivers.

    I agree with Steve but if you can't find any 2k drivers I wouldn't be afraid to try NT drivers. I have an old scanner and a printer that aren't supported by either win2k or XP. Both run just fine though using NT drivers. I'd be sure to set a restore point anytime you do this though. Just in case.

    Thanks for your responses. :)

    Being a female, I would say to be on the safe side: Don't tell her and you won't be wrong!!

    Every morning my husband makes a habit of saying:
    "Honey, I love you.
    You are beautiful
    And I'm sorry. "

    In that order. See?? He understands. But then it is usually followed by "Honey, did you take your pill today? "
    We have a wonderful relationship...can't you tell!! :D
