You're maybe missing the point, the drivers appear to be bundled with XP,

yet aren't with Vista.
Nope I'm not missing the point. Drivers are the responsibility of the
component manufacturer. The ones that ship with XP (or Vista for that
matter) are there because they got bundled in with the OS, not because
Microsoft wrote them.
The DS doesn't have a USB connection port, it's only via a 3rd party plug
in
as a pseudo game cartridge it's possible. The third party in question
doesn't
supply the drivers on the installation cd- hence the conclusion they're
available from Microsoft for XP.
Logical. So if you look at the device in device manager, it should give you
details of the drivers. What do they say?
However I was looking for more of a constructive response than a token 'I
just feel I ought to type something', no need to reply if you can't be of
any
help.
Well I'm _trying_ to help. I'm sorry if you think simply telling you stuff
you don't want to hear isn't helping.
I'm looking for a solution for my son, not to get into a debate with some
forum surfer looking for an opportunity for a quick put down.
Had hoped there'd be some serious gamers on here who would know their
stuff.
Speaking of put-downs, what would you call the last line of your post here I
wonder? A sneering implication that I don't know my stuff would be... ooh...
a quick put down. Not to worry, I'll accept your apology for your snide
remark in a private email so you won't have to embarrass yourself further in
here. Or you could just reply with another snide remark or better still
concede the fact that you've really acted like a jerk by ignoring this post.
Your choice.
