I recently acquired a new coputer running VISTA. Will the program run on VISTA. If so, how can I arrange so that the program on the new system adds to the points already acquired on a another computer running the program. I want both systems to run the program and points for both aggregrated.

Yes, the software runs on Vista. However, please take the notes here into consideration: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=12856
If you make sure you register your agent with the same name then all your points will be consolidated. |

Removing Vista and installing XP instead would be easier, as well as getting rid of the evils of DRM. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 7, 2007 3:39:34 PM] |

It is a bit monstrous. Remember, though, that it contains advice for two different agents. Maybe it can be improved - it's a work in progress.
----------------------------------------The good news is, the upcoming BOINC release is designed to work much better with Vista. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 7, 2007 5:06:31 PM] |

Who said Vista is not a monster? Usually item 1 is enough to get it rolling, but the other will get you there too.... It requires more digging into the OS security configurations though.
----------------------------------------This morning added 'u' at bottom, a permanent solution for all non 'MS' certified applications to run on Vista.
