I hate to sound like I’m just jumping on the band wagon with another Vista rant, the Internet already has enough of those :) but this is just one of those damn stupid things that I just can’t let go, simply because every time I try use my camera I get the dreaded driver disk screen.

Once you’ve been using Vista for awhile you’ll find a few gems that’ll make you want to just stick it out but man, after almost 2 years you would think it was better than this.

So here is the low down. I have a Pentax A20 digital camera - nothing unusual there. Ever since I switched to Vista I’ve been able to just plug my camera in via USB and copy off my images, even using Vista’s new image manager. This camera has no drivers - non were ever made since it uses a generic drive. (SD Chip) - Well last week I plug my camera in and whamo … now Vista says it needs drivers for a device that has NO freaking drivers. No way around it, no fix, no drivers to download - Vista just lost the freaking plot and now I have to take out the SD chip each time I want my pics….

Bravo MS bravo …
