    Thumbs up Garage Assistant Does run on Windows Vista

    Hi DB..

    The day Vista was released we upgraded our systems to test compatibility on Vista's final version..

    Garage Assistant runs and works fine on Vista apart from the following issue which we are still trying to resolve.

    If you hold you left mouse button down (rather than clicking) the screen goes black, this should not affect the workings of it as you are never required to keep the button pressed..

    On a Vista Note, we rolled back to Windows XP recently due to a lot of bugs in windows, such as items not loading from the start menu, we found that we had to move the shortcuts to the desktop to be able to run them

    Internet Explorer would regularly crash and close all open windows / tabs and restart losing where you was.

    Some programs are still having difficulties running in Vista and driver compatibility is still an issue, altough the most common branded hardware should be fine.

    Overall, we are going to wait a few months for Vista to iron out its teething problems before re-installing.

    Other than that, I do think Vista is a worthwhile upgrade (or will be)
    Theres a lot of nice timesaving features once you get used to the changes..

    Hope this helps !

    One thing I would add, at this time the print2pdf driver we have been recommending for use does not work with vista.

    Other than that, We have not come across any problems.
