Windows XP and Bamboo Fun/or not so fun: Does anyone have any advice for me other than upgrading to Vista.

XP does have handwriting recognition, it's just now as well advertised. ;) Instructions for Office 2003 (don't know if it works with 2007): http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP030851891033.aspx Instructions for XP in general: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306906 Try both. Hope it helps! :) And I agree with S. Reddick. Never trust your computer manufacturers; they'll always recommend what's best for them (aka what makes them the most money) than what's best for you.

Yes. I also did the very same thing. However, I only use my XP laptop for my older programs that there are no newer versions on the market. I use my Windows 7 / Linux laptop for everything else.

I had to install parallels and win xp. Not the most convient but works well:

A better answer: Get off windows xp. If you want some serious security issues and no support or new features then stay on it.

I upgraded from Vista on 2 computers. it was a hands off success. Both of them work significantly better now.

From what I've heard, Huion Tablet are really tough to work with and in most cases people just say that it was a waste of their money. I've heard that trying to install the tablet drivers alone made some people want to rip their hair out. I have the Bamboo Capture, and even though it was a little bit expensive for me it has been a breeze to work with. It runs really well and I even got Photoshop as a free program with it. I've had zero problem thus far.

I chickened out and cancelled this order. I was jazzed but decided to wait awhile. The new tutorial books only have Vista, so it's chancy with older XP. How long before XP is landfill.

XP would be the only questionable one I believe. I've played with no problems on 7, 8, and 8.1

It does a wonderful job, until you upgrade to VISTA. At that point, kiss all your really neat features goodbye, because their software that makes it happen no longer works. Their best solution? "Use Paint." They have no intention of fixing the problem of incompatibility. They want to force you to buy a replacement. So I did, just not HP. Hate that attitude.

Yea, but the Windows 8 interface is pretty different than XP or Vista. So different that I thought it sucked, but I'm getting used to it, I guess

I'm not entirely sure, I have windows 7, try and look to see if there a forum for its compatibility

I wouldn't advise it. Since Microsoft servers do not support a lot of XP systems anymore. I suggest upgrading to Windows seven. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a great video card. If you do this, make sure your power supply in your pc can handle a better video card. Otherwise, you can damage your system.

FYI, I have it running on a Vista machine and have encountered the following issues (none of which are deal breakers for me) 1) Can't access Help (written in older version) 2) Import Wizard doesn't import ingredients (?? - everything else moves over just fine) 3) Web Import doesn't function

I dunno - I never was successful at getting it to work with XP, Vista or 7 though.

I have windows 7 and it installed alright, however I can't actually pull it up. I just got it today so Im still trying to figure it out. If I can't Im gonna be shipping it back..Update: It works. go to a site like camroid and you can see yourself, Kinda like testing it out :)

The version for Windows 7 doesn't work properly, it has too many bugs. I also have a netbook that has Windows XP and the version for the XP works fine.

The games were designed with XP in mind. Maybe try running in XP compatibility mode. It seems a stretch, but also make sure you laptop is graphically powerful enough to run it, although my ancient 5 year old Win 7 box runs it perfectly fine.
