Streets & Trips & Windows Vista

[Guest]

Can Streets & Trips 2006 or 2007 with GPS run on Windows Vista Ultimate or is
it only avaiable to Windows XP SP 2? Is there a fix that can be downloaded
to work on Vista?

MapPoint 2006 and S+T 2005 both work in Vista with the GPS.
I have not tried ST 2006 or 2007.

My ST&T 2007 runs just fine on Ultimate. I don't use the GPS function
but I believe it's ok.
Also AutoRoute works in Ultimate.

What GPS receiver are you using ? I have a Delorme Earthmate USB. for it to
work under XP or Vista, you have to install a Serial Emulator. Why MS can't
have Streets work directly USB is another sore spot with me.

Since this question has been asked a couple of time, I though I would test
mine out to know for sure. I loaded the 1.011 version of the software and
even though I got a few, this OS isn't supported, it loaded and appeared to
work. I then check and they have a newer version of the software (1.07) and
it doesn't say Vista compat, but it was released Feb 2 2007. it still
complain about a non supported OS. But It still gets a lock, even faster in
my opinion then the 1.1.

I seldom use my laptop for a GPS anymore, but I can confirm this config
worked, or at lesat worked at a basic level

I have the standard GPS Unit that came with ST 2006. When I tried to load
the actual program onto my Vista laptop, it wouldn't even load (I don't
remember the error I got), but I couldn't even load ST 2006 in there. Before
I go out and buy ST 2007 with the GPS for that, I wanted to know if anyone
had any trouble both loading the program, making it work and using the GPS on
a Vista Laptop.

I'm wondering if I need to modify the registry to make it work. Any ideas?
Thank you very much.

Well, Streets 2006 worked under Vista. So it might be either your load
source or the ay your trying to install it. Have you tried the obvious of
running the install with the "Run as Administrator" and maybe setting it to
XP Compat mode ?

If nothing else, might try turning the UAC off and trying the install
