installed in both of my laptops, and failed about 5 to 8 days later.

How do you know it's a driver problem, not some electronic/mechanical
problem? What's happening?
Usually IDE CDs/DVDs are sitting on the same controller as the main HD,
so it sounds strange at the moment.
Which OS? Xp/Vista/Linux/sth else?

A partial Measekite truth: fading. In accelerated fade tests done by
participants of the Nifty-Stuff forum it was demonstrated that after
prolonged exposure to UV light some of the non-OEM ink colors fade more than
Canon OEM inks. Unfortunately, Wilhelm didn't test the inks we use, nor did
Consumers or PC Magazine. Although accelerated fade tests do show increased
fading at some point, the pictures I have framed and on display, as well as
pictures in albums, have exhibited no apparent fading in approximately four
years. Measekite makes the same claim for prints that have been laying on
his desk. We have endured (read suffered) this claim for nearly four years.
I must assume that the very same prints have been gathering dust on his desk
for that period of time, which begs the question, why don't you ever clean
your damned desk? Don't you have more important things that should occupy
the surface of your desk? Like work? I'm afraid that the "no fading of
prints laying on the desk" claim has no more credibiliy than the rest of his
nonsense. Another product of a twisted imagination.

It's quite possible that the "prints laying on his desk" are of his
family. Despite what we may think, I doubt he emerged full-bodied from
some puddle of ooze somewhere. He had to have parents. Or perhaps it's
some unrequited love, someone who once rejected him because of his
obsessions. Whatever, there are legitimate reasons why a photo might
remain on a person's desk for several years.

You are absolutely right, TJ. I would suggest, however, that if the
pictures are of an unrequited love, someone who rejected him because of his
obsessions, we would also have had a report from him of the relative
waterproof qualities of OEM ink when subjected to his outpouring of tears
when viewing the photo continually for four years.

You certainly have a point there.

WHAT CD came installed in both of your laptops?

Or did you mean "optical drives" rather than CD? {a "CD" is a disc
media holding about 650MB of data).

Use of correct terminology is important. Never the less, optical drives
normally do not require installation of any drivers at all (drivers for
the IDE or SATA port that they connect to will be installed
automatically as part of Windows, and typically runs the hard drive as
well).

When I said that no drivers are required, I meant no special, device
specific drivers. The normal drivers for your IDE port ... the same
port that may have your hard drive on it ... also handles optical IDE
drives [or SATA, if that is the type of interface in use]. And the
IDE port drivers are a standard, built-in part of Windows. Nothing
you need to download special, and nothing specific (unless you are
using some type of non-standard IDE port, such as an add-in PCI card).

OK I hit the F11 button on restarting and followed the instructions to reload the computer to factory specs. The driver HP TSST Corp TS-L632 M or what ever it is called is now loading properly'.

Thanks to all who helped.

If I was wrong about the driver HP TSST Corp TS-L632 M, I apoligize to who ever developed and distributed it'

Did anyone notice that on July 1st, HP removed ALL drivers for any OS'
before Windows 2000? You can no longer get drivers for any NT or 9x
systems, even ones which were posted online as of 6/30. You also cannot
any longer order CDs with these drivers. Either you have the driver
already (on CD or saved download), or you know someone else who has it,
or you are screwed. This was applicable to ALL HP products, across the
board, not just printers.

Some of the Windows 9x drivers may yet be available, but it'll take a
bit of detective work to find them. I just checked with hp.com about a
Windows 98SE driver for my PSC 2110, and I got the message that Windows
98 drivers were no longer available. Remembering that the file I
downloaded a while ago was for multiple Windows versions, I looked at
what was listed for Win2000 - and saw the same filename, size, and
datestamp that I have. I believe it to be the same file.

HP themselves says that if you have either disks or a downloaded file,
it's fine to use them. That does not, in my view, change anything
relative to people who lost their disk and don't have a previous
download saved.
