Danbt: I just spoke to a plextor tech support guy and they don’t plan on ever putting out vista drivers for the convertx range of devices. And they don’t feel that they have too.
According to them they never promised vista drivers and we’re all just out of luck. Talk about horrible customer satisfaction standards and lack of product support. If I ran a corporation selling peripherals, and a new OS was due out by a company as popular and widespread in the PC market as Microsoft, no question I would have a set of drivers made up for it. What kind of company is this lol I would think it would be more important to keep your current customers satisfied, along with any new potential customers who may want to purchase my product, but can’t because the computer they just purchased came pre-installed with Vista. Plextor really let me down this time. No more plextor products for me ever again!
Hello I don’t know if it can help you, but you could try a virtual machine google for “Microsoft Virtual PC 2007”, it is a free download install that on Vista, and then create a virtual machine in it into which you can install Windows XP (or Linux or whatever you wish). It doesn’t support all hardware but your device might work - i for instance got my scanner working that way which is 7 years old and there’s no drivers for it for Vista either.
