Peachtree Accounting on Vista

[bucknine 0]

Does anyone know how to make Peachtree complete accounting 2007 work with Vista?

Try using the compatibility mode.

What is the compatibility mode?

Compatibility mode allows you to run - even install programs/drivers, etc. from an emulation of XP or earlier OS.

Plus being a 2007 product there maybe a fix out or coming soon from software maker [not MS]

You may have to do a help/search/troubleshoot[or compatibility]/why won't my software work to open wizard.

Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to find an easier path to the wizard -been too busy to find and only got final Vista 4 days ago.

Have RC1 on this computer and what works on it won't work on final release on my laptop.

I tried compatability mode for Peachtree 2006, no sucess. Let me know if you have any luck?

I think the 2007 version of Peachtree uses pervasive SQL

did you check out if pervasive has any patches to make their SQL version compatible with Vista?

Regretfully this is to be expected when a new OS comes to the market which is a shame..

If you have an older OS such as Windows 2000 or XP, you could try running Virtual PC (free from MS), install Windows and then run Peachtree on that.
