Oztopo CD

[Peter Byrne]

I had to replace my desktop compoota and the new system is using Vista. I have tried to reload Oztopo on to it and wouldn't load. Further reading on inside cover it says "only suitable for Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP. Does this indicate I need to buy a new version of Oztopo????
Can anyone assist.

Thanks

I can't imagine why you bought a PC with Vista..... I advise you to contact to see if Oztopo are going to make it work with Vista, if not upgrade to XP.

Thanks Nicko, didn't know I had a choice, I'll see what they have to offer.
Cheers

Which version of OzTopo are we talking about as I hadn't heard of this problem before and seeing as Vista is a few years old now.

[Peter Byrne]

Its got numbers like V101120, OZtopo V1.0

A new version of Oztopo (ver 3) is due out in December so maybe ask about that one too.

According to this webpage

http://www.oztopo.com/faq/faq_before_you_buy.htm#computer

"Will OZtopo work on my PC or Mac?
Yes it does. It can be viewed on either a PC using MapSource or a Mac using RoadTrip.
OZtopo is supported on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 and later."

Suggest you contact them direct.

Cheers

Thanks all for ya help and suggestions. I ended up loading and unloading Oztopo several times then decided to unload mapsource and reload it then all seemed to come good. Not that Oztopo is all that good after ginning around on the poota for hours to load it. Grrrrrr. Anyway alls good now.
