Re: Someone else who can't figure out Proteus VX

This may already have been suggested, but Vista has a "Compatibility
Mode", whereby you can trick the software into thinking it's running
in a different environment (such as Windows XP). 

You just need to find the application's installation directory
(usually /Program Files/<software company name>/<application>) then
find the .EXE file, right-click on the .EXE and find the Compatibility
tab. Try setting it to XP SP2.

Full instructions here:

Hope this helps

CD entitled 'Proteus VX Software/Manual Installation CD-Rom.'  The
first time I tried to install it, nothing happened... the second time,
as far as I can tell, it installed properly, but nothing happens when
I try to launch it.  I looked around the web to see if there were any
issues with Vista, and the reaction was about 50/50 as to if it would
work or not... anybody here have any ideas on getting it to work with
Vista?  Looks like there should be a lot of good stuff on that disc,
and I'd love to use it.
