Just bought a new Dell computer with 64-bit Vista Home Premium. My problem is, when trying to install my printer's drivers, it says it's not compatible with a 64-bit operating system. I checked the website and there are no compatible 64-bit drivers. what do I do?

That is a problem I have run into myself. If there are no drivers available from the Printer manufacturer then you are stuck. Try looking at your printer manufacturer website for updated software, not drivers. Sometimes the solution is is in the Factory software.

Contact the Printers Manf. or go to its web site for drivers.
If that fails, you may want to daul boot with a 32bit system.
Also, you may want to Gogle the printer for a 64bit driver.

Dell 924 printer won't work on vista OS

First, here is a link to the vista 32 bit drivers. Install these drivers if you have not installed them before.

Second, if you are using Vista 64 bit, Dell does not make a driver for the 64 bit O/S. You can re-install your Vista to 32 bit or buy a printer that is compatible with 64 bit O/S
