norton ghost 10 nero 6

I have just recently purchased Norton Ghost 10 and found that it's not compatable with Vista, keeps telling me to upgrade...Upgrade to what?...Nero Image is also not acceptable(Not sure about the entire program)...Is there a way to solve these issues or must we now wait for Norton Ghost 11...Surely these companies must have known about Vista and planning the programs compatability....

Rest assured that once Microsoft releases the final version of Windows Vista Symantec, Ahead and other software companies will release new versions of their software to work with Vista.

Most of mine already won't install (run) on this beta. If it is like XP any replacements purchased in the first few months will require endless updates until all the wrinkles are ironed out.

Thanks for the response...Well it seems to me that the products that we own now that work on WinXP ect, will have to stay as they are until they come out with the Final Vista...(That's if we are to purchase the Vista OS)...So I won't be buying anymore until such time the products are Vista compliant...but will update where I can...
Question:...Will the Final Vista be available as an OS?...OR do we have to buy the PC in order to get the Vista OS??...

You will be able to buy it (though I am not sure what you will buy) (Vista will be upgradable after purchase as all version code will be present), and if XP is an example, at least when I bought mine, you paid for XP and received about twice the value in other products at the local superstores like Best Buy and CompUSA. It will be interesting to see how they handle the initial purchase from the store. How will they know which version you paid for?

Yes, it would be interesting to see what happens in a case like that...When you say upgradable, are you refering: From Windows XP... Vista after Purchase or upgradable from RCI,

Upgradable from Vista Home to Pro, Ultimate etc. Not sure upgrade is correct though I have seen it used, like a lot of software that includes all versions and if you install a lesser version you go to the website and buy another key to 'unlock' additional features.

From http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx
"Upgrade limitations You may not be able to upgrade your installation of Windows Vista Beta 2 (or RC1) to the final, commercially available edition of Windows Vista. To upgrade you will need to acquire the final edition of Windows Vista and you may have to do a clean installation. "

Thanks for the Info... I would have to be very careful making decisions of which edition of Vista to purchase...So far I would go on the safe side and go for the 'Pro' Version which seems to be sufficient... Now the Vista beta 2, is that on the level of Home or Pro?...
PS: Colin, you don't have to have anymore 'Bloody Mary's' I won't ask such stupid questions as I did in the other thread...

Not sure, but probably will have something to do with the Product Key determining which version to install.

You received the Vista Ultimate. Still wonder how windows will know what version you buy at the retailer, unless they issue variable keys depending on the purchase.

Many thanks for your time in responding to my questions, I now know a lot more of what's taking place as far as Vista goes(Although it's just the beginning)... You hear of too many rumours of what is going to happen ect, with Vista and what's not going to happen...But now I have a better Idea from this forum, and what to expect from the new Vista OS...I'm looking forward to the 'Final Cut'

Don't worry about it. You have to have been hanging out in here for a while to get the real humor. Nothing meant by it.

You will likely get Home Basic in the retail sku or preinstalled on basic machines. My guess is Home Premium will be preinstalled on media center machines. Both can be upgraded to Ultimate on the Instant Upgrade website.
A Business sku would be available at retail but I am not clear about how Enterprise is gotten. All of this will undoubtedly change radically by the time of rtm.
I'm sure resellers will want some mechanism for sharing in the upgrade revenues as well.

Lucky for me I have a good sense of humour...Thanks though...

revenues as well.

Still, they never have gotten it with any other software after the initial purchase.
Perhaps there will be all versions available in the retail stores and only those who make changes to their computers that facilitate the premium versions (i.e. add a TV card) will need to buy the upgrades.

Are you mainly using the Vista64 or Vista86. Not many of the x64 group over here. Did you have any particular issues with the Vista64 install. I have had so few of my programs install on Vista86 I shudder to think of the possibility that none would install on Vista64. Thanks in advance for the info. Also, is there a spell checker in Vista64? :-)

I installed Windows Vista Ultimate Beta 2 version becuase it have everything that both Windows Vista Home Premium and Home Basic combined. I'll buy the Vista Ultimate version just for this reason if not others such as enhanced music and video support.
I'll bet that Microsoft may, when it releases the final product should include all the versions on DVD rather than box each separately and let the user choose which version that we want to install rather than have Microsoft dictate to the hapless user what they think is best for them.

No, if you have XP Home on your Best Buy Beauty you can go back and buy an XP Pro Upgrade. That's what may be changing.

I have installed both. On build 5384 I used x64 because x86 was pokey. On 5456 I am using x86 because now it is x64 that is pokey.

John: I'm running Vista x64, haven't tried Vista x86 yet. Spell check works in Windows Mail, but I also have Office 2007B2 installed. Nero 7 initially installed and was working, then I tried to install the updates, hosed Nero and couldn't reinstall it. Currently Nero 6.614 is functioning properly. My Epson cx3800 and capture card don't have Vista x64 drivers, everything else works including my wireless NIT card with the Ralink chipset out of the box. Quicken 2006 works, haven't tried QuickBooks of tax programs yet.

Hey Dennis-
With your Epson CX3800, have you tried using the CX3600 driver that comes with Vista x64? I noticed that on SOME of the Epsons, using a slightly older driver tends to work, though I mean "SOMETIMES"...lol My R1800 has no driver either, but I have been surprised with the odd drivers that I found on the DVD. (Like my Xerox 8550 printer, and my Brother MFC5840CN)
As far as Nero goes, I was really sorry to have to scratch my way back to 6.6, but it seems to be working well. I even tried running in "compatibility mode" with 7ultra and no go. (I know it was dumb to hope that compatibility mode actually worked, but I had to TRY, right?)
I'm about to install the B2 of Office2k7. I'm hoping it works well...

Takali: I already tried the other Epson drivers with no success. Office 2007B2 installs and works with Windows x64 and Vista x64. When saving a file in Office 2007, save it as a 97 to 2003 document otherwise it will only open in Office 2007 or cause Office 2003 to crash.

Nero 7 does run with Vista, and a quite economical version -- Nero 7 Essentials -- is available.
