QX3 Microscope and Windows Vista   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #444 of 535 |
My Windows XP desktop computer died a few months ago and I had to
replace it with a system running Vista Home Premium. I installed the
software for the QX3 and when I tried to open it I got an error
message. I changed the compatability mode in the Properties folder to
Windows 98. The program did open at that point, but the error message
popped up again when I tried to initiate a connection to the
microscope. Chooosing Windows XP in compatability mode didn't work
either.

Are there any drivers (or other solutions) out there that will allow
the QX3 to run on Vista? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
