Is this device compatible with Windows Vista ? Before I open the clamshell packaging, does anyone know if it will work with Windows Vista ?

I would assume you found out by now if the unit would work for you? Would be nice to hear if it worked for you. EG: You post back if unit worked in Vista.... (Net is a wonderful source of info IF people post back into threads they've created. -think two way street when posting... instead of one way street in which you expect all info to flow towards you.) Sort of mute point at this point in time, still... when creating a thread asking for HELP... when you do have a answer/info -update the thread/post. Will this item work in Vista? This unit was marketed during before VISTA, Windows7 was around. (Newest OS listed is XP) Don't know about VISTA... but SanDisk CF Type I/II ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer (Model SDDR-92-A15) is showing as Windows 7 32/64 bit compatible -no need to install any additional software, in case anyone is interested. (Packaging indicates you MUST install some type of software that came with unit prior to connecting drive.... Guess this is for the "One-Touch Transfer button".) Drive should show up under your drive listing...without any additional software. http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=SanDisk%20Imagemate%20Card%20Reader&v=SanDisk&uid=SDDR-92-A15&l=en-US&pf=0&pi=9&c=Mice%2C%20Keyboards%20%26%20Input%20Devices&sc=Other%20Input%20Devices&os=64-bit

I'm not sure, I am currently using the external hard drive with Windows Vista and Windows 8 and it works fine. I actually the portability since it don't need a power source except the one it's coming from when is connected to your device. I think it will work as soon as you plug it in. But the box does bring instructions on how to use it for both domains

Yes, I'm currently using it with Windows Vista. I had no problems with installation.

I am asking the same question! For some reason, I can't get a reply either. I am *assuming* since it works on Win. Vista, it will on Windows 7, since they are so similar. But remember, that's assuming. I guess I, or another guinea pig, has to be the first to try. I am still trying to search the internet for this info.

I'm using it it with Windows 7. I downloaded the latest driver (which is, actually, not that new) from the company website, and it seems to work fine. If it works with 7, I'm sure it will work with Vista as well.

It should work with Vista, I installed it on a win7 computer, printed several batches of checks, no other software is needed. Hope this helps.

Wish I could have a better answer for such questions but the product when I received it did not have any info regarding the warranty, except the usual return policy. About the OS, I'm not using Win 8 with it, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it is compatible or not. Both versions of Win (7 and Vista) i'm using picked it up with the plug & play feature automatically though.

Hi Luciana, I think it would work with win 8. I have vista and workes fine. I believe it comes with instructions on how to "trick" windows if yo get an error message like "battery no found".

Based on Amazon reviews of external floppies, this one seemed best choice of several. I got lucky - quick plug n play with WIN7, and can't speak for a Vista system. Hopefully, your replacement will work.

I just got mine (June) and it works perfectly in Vista (Home Premium) on my laptop.There are new updates on the website at Creative.com, so check it out.

I think it will work with Vista but you will need a good tape unit to work with it -- I could not get the sound to transfer from the setup I had -- My computer is Vista also

Box only lists Vista and up, but there are drivers for XP available and I did find posts that say it does work. I also found that there can be issues though, like with Skype not working right. Google it and you will find help forum posts that may give more info.

No, this will not work with Vista. This is an older CDROM version for Windows 98 to XP. Try a new version.

I have no idea, but being that this is a microsoft product, it may well work. What I do understand is that Vista was notorious for not having older software be incompatible for it, and I think Win7, and 8, and 8.1 may have rectified this to some extent at least.

I don't know. I have Win Vista. It works well there. - But Smith Micro, the manufacturer can answer that question. (Of course, they'll try to sell you the latest version, but the info should be there.) - Usually, the Windows stuff is scalable.

The Fujitsu Web site says it's compatible with WIN 7 on the first product page. However, they've not not updated the rest of the documentation (i.e. the online manual) to reflect any compatibility past Vista. This is just laziness I suspect. I'm sure it's fully WIN 7 compatible or you'd be hearing howls of protest here.
