Thumbs up Here is what John emailed me a couple of weeks ago

For VISTA:

Install the software on VISTA (Fresh installation). You might get a single error about a acrobat module not able to register, ignore it.

After the installation is complete, go to the directory where you installed the software. "C:\Program Files\VitesseR"
- Right Click on the executable file and select "Properties".
- click on the "Compatibility" tab and click on "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"
- select "Run this program as an administrator" under "Privilege Level"
- Click "OK" to apply the changes.

This should take care of it.

I thought we were here to help each other. This can only help someone who already has Vitesse's hardware and software.
