    Could I know whether we can run XP drivers in Vista like we run applications as XP(service pack 2) in compatibility mode. I have an Alcatel speed touch pc network adapter. Vista does not recognize it, and when I install the XP driver it recognize the adapter but it shows an error “cannot start the network adapter”. Is there any way to run this driver in vista, (the driver is fine and when I run it in XP, it worked well) thanks:)

      I think you'll be out of look, I threw my Alcatel away and bought a router/modem (as I could NOT get the Alcatel to work on Vista at all) instead, turned out to be much faster than anything I could ever get from the Alcatel. regards,

          I have found compatibility mode to be awful, and it doesn't really do anything at all :sigh: --PerspX
