Hey guys, was sitting here playing with this program again, just messing around, and any ways, I wanted to read the help files content, but it won't open on my computer, just gives an error. I have the pro alpha version. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it, or could maybe post the info in the help files on here? I dunno. I'm wondering if it's because I have windows vista and maybe some compatibility issues or something?

There is some chatter on the Linearteam forums about WinISD Pro incompatibility with Vista. The programmer's only suggestion so far is to use Win XP... ------------- Support the12volt.com

Vista is proving to be FAR more trouble than it is worth... MANY previously compatible sofware packages are now no longer functional...
To give you an idea of the nastiness of Vista:
1: There was a service pack waiting for it, before it was even released!
2: MANY organizations in the US government, including the CIA are forbidding Vista within the organization.
3: NASA banned it.
4: Read almost any IT magazine forum, an you'll read the many horror stories involving the OS...
5: New York Life will not support their application packages if it is installed on Vista.
6: IE7 has more security holes than swiss cheese. (That, and it's a crappy, slow, browser, IMHO. But I hate tabbed browsers, anyway...)
That's enough for me to not use it... Bad Microsoft... BAD! If you can go back to XP, that's my suggestion.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Yeah I know about all the fun with Vista, unfortunately when I bought this stupid Dell it is what it came with, even though Vista hadn't even been released yet! I do miss my XP pro!! I figured there was some compatibility issues but thought I would ask and see. Guess I will have to install WinISD on my daughters comp and play with it on there when I can pry her away from it, lol! Or at least get the files I want off of it to have as a reference.
