I've heard people have problems with printers, scanners, video cards, sound cards, modems, fax machines, joy sticks, video games, etc. You name it some one has had a problem with XP with it.

It all comes down to the same answer. You need to either wait for the respecive companies make new drivers and you go to each site looking for the udpate(s), or wait for them to tell you that they will not be supporting your "old legacy" device any more. Or bite the bullet and buy brand new. Which is why"inovation" takes a back seat with my own personal equipment, I'm still running windows 98, some dos programs like "dirmagic" that was written in 1988 that I can't live without and I have some old scanners that I've been told are not supported underXP since they are 5 years old HP flatbed scanner.
