Incompatibility with Windows Vista Mindstorms will not run on our new Dell laptop preloaded with Vista. I've tried everything. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.

I was gonna say that! :-)It is possible to designate that the NXT software be run on Vista in XP compatibility mode. I'm not going to describe it here unless there is specific interest it going that way. The 1.1 version is worth the investment for other reasons, so it should be your first choice. The new software may even be included in the more recent shipments without the need to contact customer service.

It automatically runs on Internet Explorer. We are using it with Windows 8 without any problems. However you do have to run it in Vista compatibility mode. The link to the newest software is: http://service.mattel.com/us/technicalproductdetail.aspx?prodno=L6367&siteid=27

http://www.netgear.com/support/WindowsVista.aspxShort answer: yesThis is pulled from net gears site about compatibility, I also read about the ready share having issues with vista, but I can garuntee you that vista is the issue in most problems you may encounter. If possible I would look deeply into upgrading to win 7 or 8 if you start to encounter problems. Most issues my friends have with vista is that it works perfectly at all or not at all. If you are a lucky person that got a set up that works then congrats but beware something may make your system suddenly unstable. The router works for me between multiple OSes and keeps a high speed throughout. More than you my have asked for, I hope it helps. http://www.netgear.com/support/WindowsVista.aspxShort answer: yesThis is pulled from net gears site about compatibility, I also read about the ready share having issues with vista, but I can garuntee you that vista is the issue in most problems you may encounter.

Windows 7 is not real "game" friendly. I will work so long as you set the game to work under Win XP. But you need to change the compatibility settings for the program, either manually or by using the Program Compatibility troubleshooter.

I wouldn't go with the manufacturer's assessment of your laptop if I were you. I have a four year old Dell Dimension (which I upgraded BEFORE running Dell's assessment program-processor, memory, video card, etc..) that Dell said I wouldn't be able to run Vista on. I'm running Vista Ultimate. Heck Microsoft said that I would only be able to run Vista Basic! Run Micrsoft's assessment tool...you might get a different answer

I am using Windows 7, Vista has a terrible reputation and would suspect that that is the problem. My advice is to dump Vista.

as far as drivers. can you download them. like DX 10 or 9. or do you have to buy a new graphics card. when i put vista on it. not the upgrade version. but the OS on the hard drive. i took out the XP drive, and put in Vista. and the ratting for games are 1.0 is the XP better

I only used mine with XP,now running Windows7 Pro 64bit and got the Creative THX pro. You may have to go and update the driver to Vista.

Unable to make the ATI rage 128 pro/32mb work with Xp let alone Vista as there are error messages when it comes to using the default vga driver.Please confirm with others before trying.

Yes but... It needs to be SP2 64bit and If you're running vista, you likely have an old graphics card. This needs a pretty good card. Read the specs before buying otherwise it won't run and most sellers don't accept returns on PC games.

That's weird, it says XP and 7, but not Vista. http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/sketchbook_pro_6_system_requirements_final.pdf. However, Anthony62 does say he's done just that: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/Windows-8-and-Sketchbook-Pro-6/td-p/3678206 Autodesk is rather conservative in their leaps forward. Their releases will be compatable but they're careful about saying so. I've been around Autodesk products for almost 20 years--I'd make the jump. Later, you can upgrade to Win7 64bit and really cruise.

Are you running Vista? The Logictech driver does not seem to work for Vista. The system recognizes the device with it's own driver and it works OK, but the Logictech driver cannot find the device so I uninstalled it. The system may think it's a 4 way because the Windows Vista driver on my Dell system thinks it is a MS mouse.

I just bought the Cucusoft DVD to Zune converter, and it is GREAT!!!! I was frustrated initially because there would be occasional freezes in the output file, but then I discovered this program is not compatible with Vista. I installed it on my XP computer and it works wonderfully. Thanks guys!

I use Windows Vista and finally got it to run. It was extremely slow to load, in fact, so slow that I thought it hung up. Go to their website and see if your PC has the minimum requirements to run.

No, and not Vista or 7 either if you have a 64-bit install. The drivers on the website were not built correctly. I opened a ticket and am trying to get them to fix it. I'm a software developer and have given them exact information on what the problem is.

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 know EXACTLY where you are coming from. I was so worried about the same thing. My new computer has Vista. I tried running my old 3.0 version on it and it crashed my whole system. After I got my computer up and running again, I called Adobe 3 times asking about the 5.0. I was worried that my it would crash my system again before I could download the patch, and the cost of the new program would be a waste. They kept saying it would be ok. Well, I held my breath and tried it a few days ago. And it is up and running fine. Isn't the new Vista such a pain in the butt??
