Down load to Vista transfer to XP

[Tony611]

I have been reading a lot of the forums that recomend running Mac3 with the XP operating system vs Vista. I am planning on purchasing the Mac3 software via down load but I do not have a desktop system with XP yet. Can I download the software to my laptop (with Vista) and later transfer it to a desktop (with XP) and not cause a lot of problems?

Absolutely fine. My Vista laptop is my devolopment machine and my cnc computers are xp and win2k. You are just downloading a file. When you put it on the actual computer and open it is when the fun begins, CNC stuff.

I have run my milling machine under Vista and it works fine, but I have a motion control device, not pport, and I haven't run any long programs under vista. I will test it when I am up and running completely.

I am going to try running vista from the pport and desktop on my Taig when I have the chance before I sell my Taig.

Mike.
