Lexmark X2470 and Vista

thanks for the quick response.

i did not connect the USB until prompted to do so by the installer software.
however, as soon as i do this, the windows automatic driver installer tried
to install at the same time. do you think this is causing a conflict? there
is no cancel button on this installer software, so i was unable to disable
it. however, it did fail every time i tried to install the driver. i have now
tried both versions of the vista driver from the lexmark site. :/
