Hi,

I have installed Foundation 6.02 on a pc with Vista Home Premium. I have seen that there are menulinks in the help menu that do not work, and I have a felling that this is not the only thing that may cause problems.

Is there a list or any documentation, list or URL on known incompatability issues and other problems for related to XSi and Vista??

For instance I have one interior scene with 5 cameras for which I have duplicated the origianl pass and allocated one camera to each pass. The first pass works fine but all the other passes come out as black images.

Thanks.

winhelp files (.hlp) are not longer supported under Vista, that's the problem there with some old .hlp files.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.
The help file issue with windows I know about, but there are other menu items in the help menu that do not work as well.

My concern would be if there are functions and features that do not work when using Vista, which I suspect may be the case, I'll have to get Xsi installed on xp and test b4 I can come up with any conclusion.
I have an ATI card and do get a blue screen from time to time when using Xsi.

Thanks again.

There are lots of people using XSI 6.x on Vista.
That web page above are the known problems with it.
ATI isn't a great video card choice; but more generally, blue screens are bugs with the driver or an hardware problem.
