anyone using an HP 6230 with Vista? are you having issues with transferring tiffs from the hard drive to your flash cards? *i am*!
* i bought an HP a6230n with Vista ealier this month.
* my printer noticed some streaky lines on an image file i took to him.
* i confirmed the corruption, when transferring tiff files (via internal card reader) from my hard drive to a flash card...horiz. lines appearing on the tiff files.
* this issue was more or less intermittent.
* i used an external card reader for a couple of file transfers, and that seemed to work ok...but only for a couple of file transfers.
* then the streaks appeared via my external card reader as well.
* this was only one way: from the hard drive to the flash card.
* as i did more testing, trying to solve this issue, the streaky lines began to appear on the file transfers going the other way: from my flash card files to the hard drive files.
* HP HELP was anything but.
* i exchanged the computer for another...same brand/model.
* my first test on new computer was flawless: no streak lines. YAY!
* tonite, as i transferred some tiff files from my hard drive to a flash card, the streaky lines re-appeared.
* my head wants to explode.
anyone else heard of this? i've checked several other forums (nikonians, windows vista, for example) and it appears i'm the only person on earth who is having this problem...even though the problem has manifested itself on 2 different computers. what am i doing wrong?? i'm using the same basic copy/paste work flow i used with my old e-machine (with windows XP)...never had any issues there.
HELP!
