An update: I disconnected everything and reinstalled Vista; then I connected them one at a time. My printers, pen tablet, and joystick had no problems. The PDA that had not connected the first time, a Palm m125, did okay with the reinstall. Vista would recognize my film scanner, a Minolta Scan Elite 5400, and install the proper driver but the program that came with the scanner couldn't find it. Vista was unable to connect the flatbed scanner, an Epson Perfection 1200U because the inf file was improperly written. Quake4 had serious problems, which are already known. Since I have full retail versions of Vista and XP and XP can access photo files on the Vista partition, I decided the expedient route was to reinstall XP, and then reinstall the scanners and Quake4 into the XP OS. Thanks for eveyone's assistance.
