I have recently purchase laptop Compaq 6336 which is pre loaded with Windows Vista Home Basic. My problem is that I am not able to load the software which are supplied with my Mobile, Digital camera, handycam or MP3 players. When I connected my Mobile & Digicam with laptop, it had recognise the same as USB media storage and I was able to copy the pictures to the laptop. The bigest problem is with sony MP3 player as songs can not be trasferred unless I load the suppled sonic softare and when I run the CD, getting a message like OS not compatible. I checked the sony website also, they have not released any patch for windows vista. Any suggestions?????
