Default Windows Vista and Datalogging.

Just got a new laptop. Not by choice, my Toshiba died hard. It's got Vista on it, and I can't get TTS Datamaster to work. I see that it's a problem with the software, as other people have the same problem. TTS is no help from what a few people have told me.

I'm looking for any kind of software that I can use to datalog on my LT1 that isn't expensive. It has to work with Vista.

If there isn't any option that fits that bill, can somebody point me to a good site on dual booting XP and Vista?

Takes too much RAM to do anything has more features though. Most people will never notice. Instead of going to the command line you can now see system uptime in the task manager. Like you ever have good uptimes with windows though.

AHHHH!!! I spent about 2 hours last night setting up dual boot with an XP pro disk I had lying around. Now I can't get any drivers to work on the XP partition. This is gonna drive me nuts.

Fdisk and a XP pro install disk will work wonder for this problem. Get the spam ware off your PC.

I am not sure if this will help, but I had a CNC program I use that I could not get to work on Vista. I called the manufacturer and they told me to run it in Windows XP compatability mode. I had to right click on the icon on the desktop, go to properties and go to the "compatability mode" tab and if I remember correctly, I also had to do something in the same tab about running as administrator. After a restart, the program works great with no problems. I hope this helps!!

Yea that was the first thing I tried. I had no luck with it.

Anywho, after a little dicking around, I now have a fully functional Vista/XP dual boot! I'm actually pretty excited and proud of myself lol.

WOOOOOOOO! Datalogging again!
