Hi, Thanks all. I appreciate the issues about Vista and, although my machine is 4 years old it has had numerous upgrades. It is 64 bit. I have 4 gig Ram, five hard drives (one external) and other stuff. It was self built with components that I chose rather than buying compromises from a store, so I have good stuff in it. I have run the Vista Advisor and the only software that it says might be a problem is Nero 7 and I shall need new drivers for my two printers and scanner. the oldest printer is an R2400 and Epson have Vista drivers and Canon have them for the other printer and scanner. I have run sequences with animations so I have decide to go ahead and will keep my fingers firmly crossed!!
