Hello everyone,
I noticed that windows vista has a "run in NT mode" feature and it actually worked for a NT version of dreamweaver. Has anyone tried to run Edit* on vista?

Hi Dan -
Every version of Windows has a 'compatibility' mode, and I would imagine Vista is no different. Edit will probably run OK, but installing the Targa (or DigiSuite) drivers would be a different matter.
Purely speculation on my part however, as I have not tried it.

Hi Lyn,
I run digisuiteLE and desktop. Do you think matrox has any interest in drivers for vista or are they committed to the new stuff exclusively? I guess I really want a ray of hope, Edit* is still running in my little world.

Hi Dan,
We've still got one edit system running on XP no problems . . .(just don't hit the window key and be careful about where the media goes when creating a new job - other than that she's hunky dory).
It's a Digisuite version on XP service pack 1 . . .Dunno if installing SP2 would make any difference. I guess we figured it was working OK so we haven't bothered.
It's about to get the old heave ho tho. As soon as our Axio LE arrives. 'Tis sad, it still does things 6 years on that PPro won't do...

Dan,

I knew that one of our Aussie brethren was running under XP, but I just couldn't remember who. Before you start, I'd wait for Alex to say whether he installed straight into XP (I think so) rather than into some sort of NT emulation mode. Also download the XP drivers for your Matrox hardware before starting. Perhaps Alex could fire up his system and check the numbers of all the drivers since he has a system that works. It might save you some grief.

Thanks for the suggestions Ron, and Alex for adding your info. It looks like this upgrade should only take a few hours. I've said that before and then find myself looking up three days later.

Hello Dan,
I'm not entirely sure about this, it may jog Alex's memory though, but you may have to insall the Edit patches under NT emulation mode. I couldn't, for memory, get the patches for Edit6 to run properly under WIN 2000. They would appear to execute but actually not install the updated files correctly. I think however, under XP in NT emulation mode they will run/install correctly.

Thanks Simon,
Life has intervend and I have not had time to launch this project just yet. Good to know there has been success and that there is some knowledge using XP.
