My Vadis software from eBay runs fine under Vista. You do have
to run it as an administrator user though. Phil

There are certain trigger phrases that send me running. "You'll just need to set your clock back" is one of them.

In general, software that requires you to set your clock forward or back will in all likelihood solve one problem but create ten.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Sorry to take this on a less-and-less topical tangent, but it's very important:

If you're going to install shady software on your Windows PC, like a non-legit copy of VADIS or anything else, install it while logged into a non-administrator account* and protect your PC with AVG (free) or Clamwin (free) anti virus applications.

* for Windows XP users. Sorry, I don't know if this applies to Vista or Windows 7 users.

It works fine (or DID anyway) on my old XP laptop, but it won't run the installer on my Macbook's XP partition for whatever reason though I've had no problems with any other programs.
Are you speaking from experience? I have Windows 7 and my VADIS works flawlessly!
