System Restore does not come into play unless it is necessary to go
back.
Right now drivers for the scanner may be all that is necessary.
Far to early to suggest System Restore, although many do it at the
first sign of trouble often ignoring the easy fix...often new drivers.
This is what I said:
"Whether Packard Bell ""made" anything" or not is not relevant. They
should know what drivers/updates if any are available."
Later I said:
"If after repeated attempts at getting the correct files without
success, hopefully you purchase better next time."
Packard Bell should know what they have available, if not Packard Bell
has a problem and buyers should purchase from someone who knows their
product ands support availability.
I never said "So it's the user's fault he didn't...", that is your
misinterpretation.
However we all need to learn from how businesses know their own
product and take that into account on future purchases.
As for your question "Will you guarantee that this piece of hardware
will continue to work after any and all upgrades officially issued by
Microsoft to the operating system under which it currently function?"
I have no idea why you think I thought any manufacturer would
guarantee such.
Gawd, you should talk about twisting the meaning of things....
Normally, I'd just quit wasting my time on this right now, but
it's a holiday weekend, I finished my CAD project early, and
TV sucks tonight. Rebutting your strange response(s) is way
more entertaining.
If you can't figure out the context in which I brought
up the system restore option, and how it relates to the
OP's problems and experimentation with "alternate source"
drivers for his scanner, I feel for ya.
And you're STILL blaming the OP for buying hardware
that worked under SP1 and doesn't work under SP2, as
if he had had any way to know that it wouldn't...
Such arrogance defies belief. But it's what I've come to expect
on this NG lately - everything's the user's fault, none of it the
OS's or its SP's. In many cases, after further discussion, it
often turns out that the user DID do something wrong, but very
few of the befuddled average users here seem to pursue their
issues when the first response to their posting, often coming
from somebody who has some kind of "honorific professional
acronym" after their name, and thusly conveying some
expectation of knowledge and professionalism, basically slaps
them in the face with a statement like:
"If after repeated attempts at getting the correct files without
success, hopefully you purchase better next time."
Have a nice day, and try harder to live up to your MVP status.
