I have no clue about Vista Enterprise 64, but let me ask one question: did you download the latest WinBoard installer, or did you try to reinstall an old version that you had from your previous computer? The current installer at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/winboard/winboard-4_2_7b.exe (released in 2007) definitely works on 32-bit Vista, whereas the old one didn't.
If you're using the current installer, please report back with exactly what error message or other failure you got. "It doesn't seem to be able to load WinBoard" isn't enough information to go on. Also, you might try downloading just the WinBoard executable (without the installer) and see if that runs by itself. That will narrow down whether it's a problem with the installer or the program itself. You can find a copy here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/xboard/installer/WinBoard-4.2.7/winboard.exe?revision=1.1&root=xboard Finally, unfortunately, I can't promise anyone will do anything about this. I really am not working on WinBoard anymore. Possibly another contributor will step in to help. On Tue, 7 Apr 2009 17:23:14 EDT, [email protected] wrote: > Winboard is a very good friend of mine.
