I just got a new computer with Windows Vista. I can't get my service manual to install from the CD. Has anyone been able to install it?

install xp software

 

I'm not 100% sure it will work, but you can install older software (designed for XP) under an "emulator". You'll have to go to "Help" in the Vista Start Menu to learn more.

Hope this helps!

 

There's an install for the service manual? I thought it was just a PDF?

 

Go to Adobe.com and download the latest version of acrobat reader. 8.2 I think it is. Then copy service manual to your desk top or another file.

 

Dump windows and switch to Linux!

 

Thanks for all the help. I guess I will just have to keep trying.

 

If you don't have Adobe Reader (FREE) installed, you wont be able to read the .pdf files the CD has.

Best of Luck!

 

I have adobe but it won't open the manual.

 

Try this, cllick computer right click the cd then click explore when it opens look for a setup file or a exe. file then right click it then click properties.When the window opens click the compatibility tab when that opens you'll see compatibility mode click the check box make sure it sys Windows XP (Service Pack 2) then at the bottom click apply then ok then close it then try running the cd again.

 

I got it to work. But with the old system I had a icon to click on to open the manual. Now I have to open Adobe and then open the file and open it.

 

That's what Microsoft calls an "upgrade" and "progress," it seems....
