Hi Wilma, This is Michael Isam from Florida. I lost all sorts of equipment when I switched to Windows 2000 from Windows 98. Equipment was ok, but software just would not run. Just to keep it in mind. Same thing when you switch to other operating systems.

Michael, The problem is that many of the hardware people were not ready with their programming updates to work on Windows Vista when it came on the scene. I have two scanner/printer/fax/copiers, that only part of my better one will work until I get notice from HP that the updated programs are done. My newer one works, but is a small scanning bed, and many of the obits will not scan in their entirety. My other one is a legal size scanner bed, and very few obits will not scan in their entirety. I just don't have the time to scan them in parts and then go into photo editing and re-stitch them together. Even ancestry.com was not ready, and their enhanced image viewer would not work on Windows Vista. This was true on other genealogy related sites, as well. HP says they are working to get the updates for Vista up in their entirety for my other one. They only had the print function on it. Even with using the installation CD, I could get either just printing, or just scanning--I need both!! Unfortunately, my 6 year old computer was having more problems than not, and unless I wanted to pay more through Dell, all retail computers now are Vista Wilma -------Original Message------- From: misam@aug.com Date: 9/10/2007 11:04:05 AM To: armadiso@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ARMADISO] Obituaries Hi Wilma, This is Michael Isam from Florida.

Thanks for the update so I'll knoq when i go to get a new computer. i have a read/write cd rom that will neither. So to burn a cd, I ftp pictures to a website, downlaod them onto my wifes computer and burn a cd from there. It's a pain, but at least I can do it. btw, my Madison County families are Seals and McAdoo. Don't know if any are left or not. My grandfather was born in Aurora/War Eagle area. Hope you get the software soon.
