new Vista computer

I'm sure it isn't Vista certified, or even built with Vista in mind, and unfortunately when the VAR's aren't control freaks they allow the OS to dictate the common file repositories... I know that is the "standard" and "best design practice" requested by MS, but in many cases it doesn't seem to serve the purpose. I'm not a big fan of what MS has done with file management in Vista, and in reality Glens is spot-on with his disdain for MS in general, but it is the dominant consumer OS in the marketplace (and has made me a bunch of money over the years - thanks Bill!).

Thanks and this is where I suspect my culprit exists. My Vista "C:\Users\All Users\" subrirectory does not contain any application subdirectories or files, only music, videos, & documents. Maybe it's just a bad install (10 times) & I need to manually extract the application files & create the "applications" subdirectory. In my first post to this thread I mentioned that I couldn't get "Calibration Quick Sync" to work either. I got it to work by editing the properties of the start button to start in the Vista specific path rather than the XP specific path. I really don't believe this program is Vista certified.

This is where my ThunderMax maps are stored.

And if the file is known a search would find it and properties would identify the location

Hate to raise a dead thread, but I just got my SESRT yesterday and when I tried to load it on my Vista64 box I got the Nolan error. Has anyone actually gotten this to work on Vista ( specificly on Vista x64 ) and if so what did you have to do to get there? I am about to throw in the towel and pick up a cheap XP laptop, but would really like to be able to work on the maps on the big screen.
Thanks, Harry

Hi all,
had to run efi tuning software on a friends' laptop, which was using Vista64, and got some troubles. Didn't have time to figure out if the software was vista-capable or not, so I just installed the latest VirtualBox (from sun) and created a 32 bit virtual machine, and installed windows in it.
Once finished I set up one of the USB of the Virtual Machine to map the physical USB port where the RS232 is attached and voilà.
It was no SEPST, it was the SERT, but maybe this info helps out.
You can get virtualbox at www.virtualbox.org

Is that the 32 or 64 bit version of Vista? I have a couple of other things that will not work under the 64 bit version ( I would downgrade to the 32 bit version but I need the extra horsepower for video editing )
