Why P3 Will Not Work on Some Vista Supported Computers

In summary, there could be a few reasons why P3 is not working on your Vista computer, including not meeting the minimum system requirements, compatibility issues with your specific version of Vista, or conflicts with other software or settings. The minimum system requirements for P3 are Windows Vista or newer, 1.8 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 5 GB of free hard drive space. To check compatibility, you can go to the Control Panel and click on "System and Security" and then "System." If there is a conflict with other software, you can try disabling or uninstalling it, using compatibility mode, or contacting technical support. P3 should work on your Vista computer if all requirements are met, but if issues

Just had a conversation with the techie gurus at HO. If you purchase a computer with Vista, make sure it is not the 64 bit edition (it will say x64 or Vista 64).

It is not compatible with P3 (and numerous other programs). The reason has to do with the compatibility of code (like I understand what that really means). In addition, Vista 64 will not recognize non-vista 64 drivers...so some of your current hardware may not work with it. (HO doesn't generally talk about anything 'in the works', but I'm sure they are working on a solution....but software development isn't quick).

If you are signing new consultants, it would be good to ask if they are using Vista 64.

P3 does work with the x86-based version of Vista. (Also known as the 32 bit edition.)
 
I have noticed my computer is VERy much slower since I installed PP3 when i signed on and it is absolutely at a CRAWL whenever it is running.

P3 needs a lot of memory to run properly. You probably need to upgrade your memory.
 
Yeah, I have 64 bit XP here for the extra memory on a critical station and it is a BEAR to get working. I have to virtualize 32 bit Windows on it to handle the applications.
 
wow - I will try to upgrade memory but what you wrote makes no sense to me other than that. I wish I knew more about computers
