[luckystar]

I just bought me a new Laptop and is has Windows Vista on it. Can I just install my PP like I did on my old Laptop that had Windows XP???
Will all my information still be there when I install the programm on the new Laptop??

Thank you

You have to import your data base. Once you have the program set up go to utilities and restore from backup.

I would call or email IT. They basically have to send you a link, that will fix the issue for connections. Apparently Vista doesn't save the program appropriately, according to the IT guy I spoke with. The whole process should take an hour or less, depending on your internet connection (if you have dial-up) it could take longer. I tried for a week to get mine installed properly, installing and uninstalling... until I broke down and called IT. I would recommend calling them first, it makes it soooo much easier. lol

Best of luck.

Sorry but what is IT??

Just call 888-our chef and push option 1. The IT (Information technology) guys will walk you through how to install on Vista. I just did and it works fine.

Thank you I`ll call them today. So far I don`t like Vista very much, but there are no more Laptops in the stores with XP.

Vista is hard to get used to, if you are familiar with Windows. I was in the same boat about 6 months ago. I only use my laptop about 1-3 hrs a night, so it's not too bad.

They had me do something before I could open up PP on my Vista laptop.I've really tired to like PP+, but I can't stand it. It takes me so much longer to do anything in PP+ compared to PP.

Were you able to get it installed with minimal problems?

 

[luckystar]

Thanks for asking yes it was no problem with that nice guy on the phone

Great!

Did they have you set the program for Windows XP compatibility mode?
I am going to have to upgrade to Vista soon, I think.

I didn`t have to do anything really. He told me to log on to the PC Website and klick on PP+ download that was it. All I had to do is get the backup from my old laptop and load it to the new one.

Do you know how the old PP works with Vista? i'm in Canada and we don't have P3 but I want to buy a laptop and I need to be sure it's going to work.

Thanks.
