I purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525, Intel Core 2 Duo with Windows Vista last week. Installed Legacy V7.0.0.55 as soon as I got it, and have had absolutely no problems with it yet. I haven't had a chance to do all that much, granted, but so far, what I have done, has gone off without a hitch. Vista

Vista is fine with Legacy 7. I have not had any problems since the release of version 7. Vista is great - I would not go back to XP. Chap On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 7:17 PM, Jessica Morgan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525, Intel Core 2 Duo with Windows Vista > last we

I battled Vista for over a year. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I found a computer with XP installed and I am happy, happy, happy. That said, Legacy (v.6 and v.7) worked just fine. Valerie Garton wrote: I am about to buy a light weight laptop - any suggestions I have been trying to avoid Vi

Zero problems with L7 and Vista. And Vista itself is fine, very stable (unlike a couple years ago when it debuted). And the "Vista replacement" (it is being referred to as "Windows 7") won't be available until at least 2010 and probably much later. Re: V7: Just follow the download/installa
