Wis and Windows Vista

I have had WIS working for 2 years on my PC with no problems until now. Just upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate and tried reinstaling my WIS program, but no luck, even running everything in compatibility mode for Windows XP sp2, although my EPC works fine this way. I don't suppose anyone knows a way of getting WIS to work with Windows Vista.

Good luck

My advice is to uninstall vista and wait a year or two and try again.

At the very minimum I would consider trying WISnet rather than WIS. It runs with Java.

If you say so... I don't go by what people say. I will check it out at retail store Besy Buy and see how it is. I'm planning to get a laptop so I will try to get the Operating System in Vista. I appreciate you the input Sunil and Gondon

You better! J/k, it's your choice but I had the option and downgraded back to Windows XP because IMO it is much easier to use and wasn't known as "Microsoft's Biggest Downfall"
