Vista compatibility |
Fri, Feb 2 2007 5:49 PM | Permanent Link |
Jerry Blumenthal | I produced my app with D4 and DBISam 2 plus a couple of tools like
Infopower's grid, etc. I dont have Vista on a computer yet, and a customer tells me I am crashing consistently at the point that the main dbisam data grid is accessed. Is there any reason why this should happen? Is it possible that it is simply some error in my code that was not caught by 98 or ME or 2000 or XP but Vista chokes on? Or is it likely that my old tools are just no longer operational on Vista? (It also seems as tho my old Help files are no longer ok on Vista.) Jerry |

Jason Lee | Hi Jerry,
If your customer is having problems with your app and it worked fine on Win XP then I would suggest your customer try to run the app in Win XP compatibility mode. I don't have Vista yet, but I think you can choose a compatibility mode in the app's shortcut. Also, .HLP files are no longer supported in Vista. Does your help authoring tool allow you to output into HTML Help format (.CHM)?

Jerry Blumenthal | You're right, of course. One of my customers just upgraded from the DOS
version that used BTree Filer; I wrote that in 1991. But that's my market. Thanks- I appreciate the help Jerry Walter Matte wrote: > I think you are in another decade....

Jerry Blumenthal | Thanks, Jason.
I did a little research and while XP compatibility is something I can try to sell, I do believe that it requires that the user have Administrator priveleges, and that will certainly be a problem for some of my customers. No way around it that I can see- I'm going to have to purchase a Vista computer and start development and debugging on it.

"Roj Ash" | Before you do that, you might want to investigate which (if any) versions of
Delphi run under Vista. Delphi 7 doesn't, and it hung my Vista test box so thoroughly that the power switch was the only way out! |

> purchase a Vista
> computer You'd be better off buying VMWare Workstation and some more RAM. Then you can have as many PCs as you want. /Matthew Jones/ |
