Word Art operation drags in Publisher
Ok, before I download a 34 MB driver...I went up on the Web site link your
provided. There are two options and also other links. I want to make sure I download the right one. Also, this unit is 5 mos. old. How could I have gotten a driver that is over 2 years old?

Also, this unit is 5 mos. old. How could I have gotten a driver that is over 2 years old? The machine is 5 months old, the card used in it was first released quite some time before that. From the group archives: The computer is mass-produced on a production line. The hard drive is filled with data from a master disk, and that master disk does not change often. Every time it changes, they have to go through a long testing procedure to make sure it works - which they don't like to do very often. They cannot afford the time or money to change it every time a new driver comes out (each piece of hardware in the system has a driver, and new ones are being developed all the time). Also, even if they did this, if a new driver were released after the machine left the factory but before you bought it, (which, given the amount of time the machine will sit on a shelf before you buy it, is quite likely), you would not have the latest drivers on your brand new machine. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org

34MB??? That's frickin' huge. Most aren't that big.

That is a small adapter, mine is 256 MB, a modest size.

Oops, I guess you are speaking about the download size, not the size of the
card. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ... 34MB??? That's frickin' huge.
