[Tip] new pc's and network drivers

Last week one of my clients decided to buy a new laptop. After installation by the IT department only one thing was left, downloading the client for our solution IT2Print.

Unfortunately that was the only thing that didn't work. You can imagine who got the blame for it.

The other unfortunate thing was that, after 3/4 of a day searching, we found out that it was not the hardware that had an issue, it was also not Servoy/IT2Print (why would it, they have a couple of other pc's installed without any issue), not the network etc. but the driver.

The supplier simply delivered the piece with an old driver (2002) instead of the latest one (2004).

The moral of this story: first check on the driver before doing any other diggin' when Servoy won't start... This little tip would have saved me some precious hours and a lot of sweating over the reason why (not to mention the efforts and time of Jan Blok (thanks Jan :-) ))...

Cheers,
