Re: Clipper, Vista and side effects

Hello!

XDDM drivers are the answer. Matrox has them, for example:

Unfortunately Matrox is more expensive!

Matrox Graphics also decided not to redevelop drivers specifically for
Windows Vista, as a result, end-users will have to use the so-called
XDDM drivers for Vista, which virtually means using Windows XP
drivers. Nevertheless, Matrox claims that this is not a drawback,
but an advantage.

I AGREE! :)

BTW, what graphics card has your first customer's PC?
