12.5 on Vista - installation issues

[JC2004]

Hi

12.5.0 straight from the CD loaded on to Vista Home Premium.

Loaded ok, input of serial no. ok registration ok.

Have installed the latest driver for the HASP dongle and have a steady red light.

On lauching the program I get the standard the Vector works dongle could not be found.

I have checked the ystems manager and that indicates all is ok.

I have followed the other threads through ligh setting the admin permissions.

Need a sep by step cross check if possible.

Cheers

First try updating to 12.5.3.

So you have set Vectorworks.exe to run as administrator?

You did go to the dongle manufacturers websites and download the newest drivers?

12.5.3 - Not sure if this has not been done as when loading I asked for latest version to be selected.

Wher do I check as it wont open, and failing that where can I down load as I dont find the selection that simple.

I second the suggestion to update to 12.5.3 Vista doesn't play nice with VW, and the update helps. The update can be found at support-downloads on the VW home page.
