I have windows 8, and followed link on here somewhere, for running Oracle virtual box, and have a virtual XP OS running on that, no problems at all. (infact card games etc are better on XP than Windows 8) I have also disabled modem connections on my XP part, so system can't update, as some had problems.

A.Lex thanks for taking the time to start this thread, very useful for new VIDA & DiCE users I'm sure.
As you say the combination of Operating Systems, Updates, Software and Hardware make this a potential mine field of issues. Had similar experiences with my installation of the software. And was about to visit "shadeyman" (very helpful chap!) to test the device, when I managed to get an new XP PRO SP2 installation to accept the VIDA software. For info XP Home failed (thought it would but had to try!) I had tried a Windows 7 Ultimate 32 OS running with 3GB of memory on an ACER laptop and just couldn't get the system work (many attempts many late nights) After successfully using XP Pro, returned to this and loaded the WIN 7 32 OS to a Compaq lappy with 3GB of memory and ran the updates. Installed VIDA and it worked first time. Since then also have it as a backup on a Windows 8 i5 laptop with Oracle VM running XP with 3GB memory without issue. For information I have this on XP Pro SP3. Basically having a new install of the OS where ever possible seems the least painful path! The comments you have made would have been invaluable to me in saving some of those late nights! so I'm sure will be helpful to others. I suppose the point to make .... is to stick with it! Cheers.

Anyone using VIDA 2013 version "D" ? I already have 2013 version "A" installed, is there much difference?
I've just been given a copy. System requirements say it runs on Windows 7 Pro or better. |

TBH now I have got mine working faultlessly, I am unlikely to change it. Does 2013 work with win8 too?

No, or at least it doesn't say it does in the system requirement text.
I may give it a try later. I have a spare harddrive out of an old laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate on it. Pretty sure it has IE9 to as that's also part of the system requirements. |

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate with IE10, didn't expect it to work but its working perfectly so far. Try it on Windows 8, you never know it may work ...
