Are there any issues regarding running Labview on Windows Vista

[cdenicola]

I am a cognitive psychology graduate student, and I am considering switching to LabView to display stimuli and gather RT data. I have previously used E-Prime for this task, but E-Prime doesn't seem to run well with Windows Vista. Are there any known issues regarding running LabView with Windows Vista?

Thanks

You will need at least 8.2.1. You can also search for more information.

I've had no problems on Vista*. Only issue I've had was concerning how Vista uses fonts, but if you start on Vista and don't switch between XP and Vista, etc., then you'll be OK.

*no problems with LabVIEW's compatibility with Vista. Now, Vista in general, that's another story and not for this thread/forum.

Thank you. I did search and found that there was a compatible version, but E-Prime is also supposed to work with Vista, but there are some pretty serious RT timer issues. I'm not a big fan of Vista either but it appears that's what I'm stuck with. Thanks for your help.

If you're trying to do real-time, then you should be looking at a platform that uses a real-time OS, not something based on a Windows OS. One such possibility is LabVIEW Real-Time.

I just did some reading on that, and it does seem ideal, however our eye-tracker requires a microsoft platform. Apparently someone had previously tried to reload XP on the computer, and had some problems so Vista was reinstalled.

Microsoft + RT ???
