However it is possible older (XP) drivers MAY work as described above.

How is this "not offical"? Looks like one of the standard methods for installing drivers to me (other than the fact Vista is not supported)

Why would it? Pretty much the same as installing printer / scanner drivers in Vista. These are the drivers for the device and not USB. |

Thanks both.
So if I install the drivers that came with the MIO, Mio Transfer and the hacked version will then communicate with my 710?
If it's that easy, why do MIO give us the bulls**t about not Vista compatible if the drivers 'just work'? Have either of you unlocked your mio and done file transfer that way?
