[AG-TECH] Access Grid: Windows 7 and Vista support

[Andrew Rowley]

Hi,

 

Another thing I have seen in Vista is when you have a network card that is not connected, it may help to disable it.  This includes a wireless card that is not associated with an Access Point.  Vista seems to mistakenly report these as usable, and then vic falls over when it tries to bind to it.  No idea if this is solved in Windows 7 as I haven't tried it as yet.

 

Andrew :-)

Works fine for us here at LSU with both - our new production machines are Win 7 for display and capture. If you don't have multicast, disable the beacon I think is what everyone is saying. - John Q.

Hi there,

Does anyone know what's the support status for Windows 7 and Vista? AG seems to be crashing whenever VIC runs.
