At http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/preferred/sysreqs.asp VISTA is listed as a system requirement so I am assuming, even though I couldn't find it on the box at Staples, that, at least those programs being currently produced, are indeed Vista compatible. For those who already have this version, there is a patch available to upgrqade to Vista. You need to fill out an online form with name/address/phone/e-mail to get a PIN to access the upgrade area. Once there you need to have your product code number to punch in to get the upgrade but it's well worth the effort.

Hi Greg - I don't have any experience with Vista as I am using XP. However, I agree with the previous comments that in theory it should work in producing an exact copy of the HD.

Not sure if it has to do with versions as much as it has to do with the Operating System. I know it works on Windows 7 and 8

Yes, I'm currently using it with Windows Vista. I had no problems with installation.

I'm using it it with Windows 7. I downloaded the latest driver (which is, actually, not that new) from the company website, and it seems to work fine. If it works with 7, I'm sure it will work with Vista as well.

I am running it on my Vista Ultimate machine and everything is working fine. Only one time did it have an data access anomaly but that was due to a Vista update gone bad, which a reboot fixed. Otherwise I am running a virtual machine off of this drive that I use for development purposes and so far no issues even after some serious rough handling.

No, and not Vista or 7 either if you have a 64-bit install. The drivers on the website were not built correctly. I opened a ticket and am trying to get them to fix it. I'm a software developer and have given them exact information on what the problem is.

This is the full version. I was installing it on a desktop PC that came with Vista but had earlier been upgraded to 7 with an upgrade copy. I had a frustrating time getting the full version to work and finally had an it friend at work install it. He was successful. Again, it is a full version.

Yes on the foot switch. Should work with Vista but you really should upgrade!

I had no luck with Vista or window 8, even though the specs show otherwise. Good luck

What did you find-out about 64 bit compatability. So far< I have not found any drive compatable with 64 bit Vista.

I really don't know, I do know it works on Vista, though I currently not gotten it reinstalled when I had to reinstall Vista over a year ago. I would imagine it might install on Win7 and work fine, unless there is a significant difference internally between Vista and Win7. I should note that I often played it on a standard aspect ratio monitor instead of my widescreen monitor (in dual screen mode) and it did fine. After all, it IS a Microsoft product so getting it to work on later OS may be easier than some others if you have issues initially as there is a make compatible mode for such older programs in newer OS'.

I'm using Vista 64 bit and it works excellent with my Vista, I can't truly say a factual yes but, I feel it should work without any problems.

I work with the developer, eMedia. It runs on computers that use Vista just fine! Sincerely, Ellen with eMedia Customer Service
