Post by Smekat »

My SCAL crashes EVERYTIME I use it. However when I follow the instructions (and my Man who KNOWS about this kinda stuff!!) we have no option in the tabs to change from Vista to XP... none... at all!!
Can anyone help... I WANT TO USE MY AWSOME SCAL!!

I have a shortcut to use to open SCAL from my desktop and I can right click on the icon and choose properties then open tthe campatibility screen then choose XP instead of Vista. But huray it wont be long til I get the Windows 7 and do away with Vista.

If you bought a Toshiba laptop between June 26 2009 --- Jan. 10 2010 .. you can upgrade to Win7 for free.. Just go to the Toshiba site... My daughter in law had told me about this...

I wonder if Gateway is doing the same thing?

Todd,
you should check with the retailer who sold you the laptop/computer. Mine had vista and a free upgrade to windows 7. if you still have the papers that came with the laptop/desktop you may find the free update there.

happy new year

I have VISTA on a desktop and have never had a problem with SCAL or DS. Is it possible that there is another program on her computer that is causing the problem? Maybe if you turn off your anti virus/ firewall while you are running it there won't be an issue. Just a guess, don't know why some of us have so much trouble and some of us have none. Logically it isn't SCAL.
