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

That drive is compatible with WINDOWS OS from XP through 8.1 64 bit. So it will work with VISTA. . 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.

I'm using Vista 64 bit and it works excellent with my Vista, I can't truly say a factual yes but, I feel it should work without any problems.

YES...although the specification stated on the device box mentioned Windows 8, 7, and XP it also works with Vista. I used it on Win 7 but since you asked question I installed it also on my Vista and it really works. Hope this help you.

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".

I do not have Windows Vista, but I have tried with Windows 7 and I had no problems.This item does not require calibration periodically. It is just a tool for read/write PIC micros.

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

Yea, it would work with Vista. You can pull the SD card out and just plug it into your computer directly and copy files that way if needed.

Have no idea if it would work with Win 8 or higher. works with Vista but isn't a great fit. Was really meant to work with Win XP. software comes with it. Downloads not available as far as I know. There has been some work done porting it to Ubuntu.

I purchased this unit so I can use an old printer from Window 7. I had some problems with the driver but it finally worked. I don't see why you could not use it with windows vista.

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

I dont see why it wouldnt work on Vista. For one thing, it is probably just seen as a "USB Mass Storage Device" like every other mp3 player out there. Also, most XP apps work on Vista in "compatibility mode".I will risk it for the price. :)

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.
