Hi David,



I’m running P3.1 on my Vista Ultimate laptop no problem. It installed straight in and is running no problems.



Which version of Vista are you running? If Home Premium, try this:-



Go to your P3.exe file in windows Explorer and right click. Click on properties and compatability mode, check the box that says run as XP Pro SP2. Reboot and try to start P3 as normal.



This worked for me in Home Premium and also after I upgraded to Ultimate.



Good luck.

Hi There,



Welcome on board :)



It seems that it is time to throw version 3.1 to trashbin if you are running that version under Vista.

And get a higher version of Primavera (like 5.0 or 6.0) as soon as possible.

Because of the rapid technological changes and of course need for money making :)

I can’t give you a definitive answer to your query but Pv state that they have tested P3 3.1 on Vista with the following caveats;



- will only run on Vista 32 bit. Will not run on Vista 64 bit. I assume Btreivs can’t operate in a 64 bit environment

- Pv will not certify P3 3.1 for use on Vista and so, I assume, won’t support it
