USB video driver

[Guest]

I used to have a usb video driver that allowed me to see a Sanyo C40 digital
camera within xp. Now in Vista, I no longer see the device. Does anyone know
if its possible to find a 'generic' usb video driver that would work with
this camera?

Microsoft are not responsible for device drivers.. you should visit the
device manufacturer website.. Vista has not been officially released for
sale to the public yet, and manufacturers should be ensuring that drivers
are available for their products when it is..

Before installing a brand new OS, it is always a good idea to check for the
existence of peripheral device drivers for devices that are important to the
way you use your computer..

Microsoft is not responsible... not are responsible. Microsoft is a
single corporate entity, not multiple entities.

William, is you looking for promotion in the ranks of the 'grammar' police?

I see this all the time. Microsoft are. IBM are. I don't get it.

The *people* at Microsoft are. Microsoft *is*.

It's a British English thing and Mike is British.

I can see you are not bilingual in American and British English. Do you
know what a "wanker" is? All you need to do to find out is look in the
mirror.

British English has nothing to do with it. I see it in American news media
all the time.

Do you know what a prat is? All you need to do to find out is look in the

Just like the differences in ways sports teams are referred to in the US and
Britain.

Of course I know it means buttocks and, yes, with a mirror, I can see mine.

Unfortunately too many people don't know the difference. In the UK,
even the media sometimes states that "the government have..." instead
of "the government has...."

The government is an entity, or a body, not a group of people. So the
same applies.


Nice to see there are other people like me

When the British talk about a corporate entity,
the phrase [The employees of] is tacitly understood.

[The employees of] Microsoft are not responsible....

Here in the US, thanks to the sick Republicans, a corporation
is considered a PERSON with all the rights and privileges
thereof.

Have sympathy for us. American citizens are under a heavy
handed, diabolical attack, especially since the demented, evil
reign of Ronald Reagan.

Wriggle, wriggle

The correct English would be 'Microsoft is..' - as in American. Some
English speakers are just sloppy!

 

[William]

Sorry about that, I did not realize the bloke was a Brit.

Don't seem to have one in the old Tucker Bag.

It is evident that you don't know history. That idea goes back into
English history to the Middle Ages.

There were corporations in the Middle Ages????
Get a grip!

Um, more than one person at one business enterprise is what?

Even blacksmiths had assistants and I am sure the bars had more than one
employee. So, for example: Liverpool Blacksmith are a company and have
shod many a horse with a smile. The reason you don't think it's correct
is because it sounds strange to you just as referring to your apartment
as a flat or instead of driving your truck, you're driving a lorry would.
