List of Vista Supported Hardware & Software - Page 3

Last message on previous page:
I did, i was just kinda scared when i saw the other P5W on there and not the DH, thanks though

It installed on my 24" iMac. Was a bit of a complicated process getting all the drivers installed (had to extract them all from the "Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP" thing and then install them all manually) but got it done nonetheless.

General Notice: Please read not on the original post but also the subsequent following post on details of other systems and software running on Vista.

I have installed PSP 9 successfully now - it was my error, not the OS / program

PeerGuardian® v2.0 Beta 6b (32 Bit) is not compatible and will not install on windows vista.

PeerGuardian v2.0 for Windows 98/ME (blocks TCP only) is compatible and installs on works on windows vista. http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/show [...] stcount=52
haker0 "we don't have an ETA for a vista compatible version of PG2
yes we are hoping to have it done soon but there have been delays because of complications with the driver
for now you can use the 9X version because it is better then nothing but it only blocks TCP connections

the Vista OS has not even been publicly released yet so any user that choses to use it should expect some incompatibility
users cant expect applications for an OS if the OS itself is not even ready yet"

www.bluetack.co.uk B.I.S.S. Blocklist Manager v2.6.5 BLMInstall265.exe Is compatible with windows vista with no problems.

B.I.S.S. Protowall 201B9_18apr06_beta is only vista compatible/functions only after a fix is applied. Only drawback is logging of blocked ip's isnt visible but protowall does block ip's that are imported from b.i.s.s. blocklist manager. Suggested Protowall Fix is here which shows how to disable ipv6.

Kaspersky Internet Security v6.0.2.614 installs and works great. Needs the Kaspersky Vista patch downloaded from the Kaspersky site http://www.kaspersky.com/productup [...] =186437046
Updating through an already installed Kaspersky doesnt work properly. Also May need to go into Settings Anti-Hacker/Zones tab and untick Internet Stealth mode setting for some p2p software to connect properly.

Tor & Privoxy & Vidalia bundle installs and works properly. http://tor.eff.org

I made a few google search for this but couldn't get an answer.

I'm getting a new PC this week with dual-boot, WXP 32-bit and WVista Home Premium 64-bit. I should get it by friday.

My router at home is a D-Link DI-524. It doesn't seem to be compatible. My question is, will it work to configure my router should anything bad happen... and will it permit me to access the internet at all if already configured through my present PC? As long as I can access the internet everything should be fine, as I can boot to WXP to configure it should anything happen.

I'm at work right now but will check your answer from home later.

Thanks.

P.S.: I'm ditching D-Link if I have to upgrade my router for lack of support. Any recommendation if that's the case? Not too expensive but reliable.

this thread is really great!

I have a HP PhotoSmart 7350 and it is working fine. I plugged it in and turned it on and Vista installed it for me.

What I am looking for is a Security Suite that is Windows Vista compatible if not then combinations of software that can cover all the feattures that Zone Alarm Security Suite 7 has.

Outlook 2000 doesn't seem to work flawlessly on Vista 32-bit. Address book feature doesn't work. It generates a wab.dll error. I tried installing a downloaded wab.dll and wab32.dll in the system and system32 folders, but no luck, so no known fix.

The rest of office 2000 seemed to work fine but I only tested with light usage.

It isn't ? Not a big gamer so don't know a lot about the video cards.

This might need to be sticky'd. I lost my optical drives and almost didn't figure out why. Well, here's why:

"Important Patch for Windows Vista Users!


ArcSoft applications that do not specifically list Windows Vista in their system requirements are not intended for use on Windows Vista. If you choose to install a non-Vista application on your Vista system, please install the very important patch detailed below.



Who needs to install this important patch:
All users who have installed a non-Vista application on a system running Windows Vista, including owners of any ArcSoft applications purchased before January 8, 2007.

Why you need to install this important patch:

1) Some ArcSoft applications include a CD/DVD driver that does not install properly on Vista resulting in CD/DVD drives not being visible after restarting the system. The patch will properly install the CD/DVD driver, thereby making the drives visible. The patch is strongly recommended for all of ArcSoft's non-Vista products.
See a list of non-Vista applications that require this patch.

2) By installing this patch, the ArcSoft Updates & Patches feature (found in the menu system of most ArcSoft applications) will provide you with direct access to future Vista-related updates.

Download ArcSoft Universal Vista Patch:

1) Download this file to your Vista system

2) Double click to run it and follow the on-screen prompts

3) Restart the system

Please note, this patch resolves the two issues detailed above but does not make your ArcSoft application Vista-compatible. After the patch is installed, please launch the software and use the automatic update feature (found in the main menu) to automatically find and install the latest update to make your software Vista-compatible. See a list of programs for which this free Vista update is available."

Very useful thread, Ninja.

Thought I'd add a couple myself:

(64 bit version, this)

Can't see any mention of Paintshop Pro 8. It won't install.

Hitman : Blood Money version 1.0 works fine but if you patch it to 1.2 it won't load.

Tomb Raider : Legend works (but only with the latest nVidia drivers)

Hardware-wise, you could add Geforce 7900GTX, if you can be bothered (as 7900GT is listed) and ABIT KN8 Ultra (m'board). Both working a treat.

For what it's worth, Adaptec 2903 SCSI controllers are NOT supported as there are no drivers. Nor do I think there ever will be!

Well, that's my 2 cents worth.

Cheers,

has anyone tried RailRoad Tycoon 3 yet?

No problem at all. Just get the latest drivers from nVidia and you'll be fine. As previously noted I'm using the EPoX EP-8NPA nForce4 SLI and it's working fine.

CyberLink PowerDVD5
Vista Home Preimum (32bit): No
Vista Business (32bit): Yes
Vista Ultimate (32bit): No
Vista Ultimate x64 (RC2 Build 5744): Yes :?: :?

The following games that works so far
with Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit
RC2 Build 5744


-Need for Speed Most Wanted
-Just Cause
-Rayman 4 (the rabbids)

Note: Some of the games listed the requirement on the box
says, "Windows XP (only)", but they still work in a 64bit OS.
The games do not support native 64bit, but they do install
in 32bit mode.
No compatibilities are required.

That's odd. I'm using Alcohol120 on two different installs and no problems. Are you running the trial or the registered vesion ?

Build 1.9.6 B4719 I believe is the official version for Vista, anything else I believe causes the BSOD you got

Just go to the site and download the latest version. There is quite a few people using Vista, who are using it. but they all say, that if you install versions 1.9.5 or lower, you'll get the BSOD

This is my list for Vista 64, all of my hardware works!!! This is only a list of the hardware and software that I did not see on the various listed sites and in your list.

Again, the is all 64-bit (some are list as 32-bit ok and some are not listed at all).

d975xbx2 (badaxe2; x6800 exp index 5.6; 4G pc26400 exp index 5.6)
ati radeon x1950xtx (exp index of 5.8 & 5.9!)
intel ICH7r (including matrix - exp index of 5.9!)
Creative Live!Cam Voice (using camera drivers from 32bit XP but mic works with built-in usb)
HP wireless keyboard & mouse
HP DVD 840i w/lightscribe (must download lightscribe support from lightscribe.org)
Seagate 750G external USB
A-data 8G PD7 (easily fast enough for readyboost and good price!)
HP Photosmart 130 (using 330 driver)
HP Photosmart 970 cse
HP 3800n (a super color laserjet)
Norton 360
NOTE: Norton has a problem with all of their license configurators - DEP must be disabled
Roxio Easy Creator 9
Adobe Acrobat 8 - 64bit (there are some minor issues listed on Adobe but I have not seen them)
Adobe Reader 8
Skype 3.01 (the current one from early March)
HD Tach 3.0.1.0 (I'm glad to say they show a significant improvement with my 4-drive Raid0 setup)
Canon Browser EX (current update from canonusa.org - software for my Canon A80 camera)

NOT Sandisk Extreme III (not fast enough for readyboost)

Ninja, or someone... I didn't see anything on the HT Omega Claro Soundcard. I contacted HT Omega support and they claim it is supported. They do offer drivers for 32 & 64bit, but I have yet to test them since I have yet to install Vista.

Is there any official word on this other than from HT?

hi DaSickNinja or someone experienced with Vista, do you know if this webcam is supported by windows Vista?
KINAMAX 1.3 Megapixel USB 2.0 Webcam with Night-Vision & Audio.
I'm considering buying it to go with a dell inspiron 6400 with windows vista home basic. If not, are there any other webcams supported by vista that comes with drivers?
thanks.

Did you check the manufacturers site? Webcams and other peripherals are funny things to figure when it comes to compatibility.

@markop20033
It runs. It isn't on this list?

Am I interpreting the lists correctly when I say that most of the games you listed will run in Vista 32 bit but not in Vista 64 bit (looks like maybe 20% of games or less work in Vista 64 bit)???

@exit2dos, markop20033 & PCAnalyst
Thanks for that. I updated the listing. Check back to see the changes.

@Hathorian
You'd be correct in that assumption. At the time of testing a lot of those games would not function in 64 bit mode. You'd really have to check the developers site to make sure that the game is compatible with your version of Vista.

Thanks for the heads-up about the latest nVidia drivers; Tomb Raider works a treat now!

your link does not work at all... try post it a different way.
