i picked up a new Vista laptop and i could not get some of my software to run correctly on it including obd2 tc, and i just didnt care for vista anyways so i installed xp on it and wow is it fast compared to vista, if you do this , just make sure you have another pc close to you to find drivers for all the laptop components after xp is installed

32 bit vista works fine.
I think there are 64 bit drivers now, but you will have hassles with other software anyway, so stick with 32.
It runs fine with me on roadrunner, serial innovate with logworks as well as normal efilive.
