Having problems installing any software onto Vista, printers, MP3 players, mobile

[Ryan]

phone software!!? My PC is only 3 months old, and has Vista. Just brought myself a new Epson All-in-1 printer, but it won't install. I put the cd in, it takes me to the Epson website to download the appropriate drivers, but when I get to the part where I have to plug the USB cable into the PC, it all goes wrong. It recognises a device, but it seems as Vista takes over, and wants to search for the drivers again, even though I'm trying to download them. Have I got to change some setting on vista to allow me to install this software??Somebody please help, it's driving me mad!!

Sometimes the user account control can prevent the installation of software & hardware, switch it off in windows security centre and try again

the only thing you need to change is vista to windows xp, most people i know who tried vista thinks it rubbish i have a feeling vista is going to be another Hugh mistake like millennium was
