Tunercat and Windows Vista

Anyone using Tunercat w/ windows Vista?

My laptop crashed and I need a new one. Can't buy new laptops with windows XP anymore.

After I opened a file, I tried to open the constants table or any table it would give me an error and shut down the tuner. Vista has a neat feature called compatibility mode. It make the software think that the computer has a more familiar operating system.

After making the software compatible, did you have issues reading or programming the pcm?

Mine actually gave me a problem on vista the first time. Gave me some run time errors. Not sure if vista automatically uses compatibility move or what ever, but it works fine now.

Since TC helped me out, I have read and programed two cars without problems. It is nice to use the program now. My other computer lost communication twice and would not allow me to program the ECM most of the time.
