Re: I recently tried to use it on a new laptop. Is this...
Is that a wireless mouse? does it run on bluetooth or RF? if that is a wired mouse, then it should be a plug and play device. if it's a wireless, a vista compatible driver needs to be reinstalled.

Assuming that Serif PhotoPlus X2 is still compatible with your new laptop's OS, get a external (USB connected) optical drive. Some external DVD reader/writers (which are backwards compatible with CDs) are ~$30. Note: some models used to need two USB ports - power and data. You will need to make sure that you have compatible available ports, adapters or a USB hub. (Most of the cheaper external optical drives use USB Type A connections to the computer. A number of recent laptops have Type C ports to save space.)
I hope this helps. According to the manual, http://dl.serif.com/pdfs/photoplusx2.pdf , the software worked on Windows XP and Vista. The last version offered was PhotoPlus X8. That is considered a legacy product with no support. The current product is Affinity Photo V2. However, it can't open the PhotoPlus files.
Have you tried the "compatability" mode built into Vista. Also go to Microsfts site and search for answers as they now have better number of "fixes" to issues similar to yours.
We regret to inform that this product is not compatible with Vista.
There are no Vista drivers available.
We always try to keep our products functional for as long as possible.
As a result of the quick succession of developments in this sector and
the age of some products, we are sometimes no longer able to keep
products compatible with the frequent release of new operating systems,
such as Windows Vista. Unfortunately, this is the case for your product.
It is good, however, that you have always been able to use the product
in the past, but the technology used is no longer compatible with the
new operating system. We apologize for this.
A clear example that shows that many old technologies no longer work in
Windows Vista is the operating system itself.
There are two possible solutions:
1. You can continue to use your old operating system.
2. You can purchase a new product that is compatible with the new
operating system. The advantage of this option is that the purchase
price of the new product is less than your current product, the
performance is much faster and/or better and you have a full warranty
again.
I had the exact same problem. Per Olympus you have to buy the RS 27 foot pedal. It IS compatible with Vista 64bit. RS 25 which is what I have IS NOT compatible with Vista 64bit.
Cheapest I found online is $43+ shipping for RS 27 foot pedal.
There is a free upgrade to DSS Player 7 on Olympus website that you will have to do for it to work with RS 27 foot pedal.
some of the older versions of autocad does'nt tend to work in vista.try installing autocad 2008 or 2009.it is recently released and well compatible with vista.REMEMBER, if u r using it for architectural purposes,try downloading autocad architecture 2008.it is especially made for architects.try downloading it on torrentz.com
