WinXP -> Vista: will it work?

I have created my application on WinXP for some weeks. Sometimes I would like to work on it on my girlfriend's computer. Now she bought a new one with Vista. Can I install MMF2 there and continue working on my application?

Or could there be any bugs or glitches when I load an application created with XP on a computer with Vista?

Can I switch between our two computers without problems?

Should work fine. There still are some issues on vista, afair, but you can work MMF, though, it's not a big deal.

Meh, don't let me make you unsure about this. Just give it a go. When vista was released, I remember MMF having some problems, but I think they're mostly fixed.

There is nothing wrong with Vista.

True that there is nothing wrong with Vista its just that, less games & programs will run on Vista than XP and most early windows games & programs that can't run on XP can easily be patched ot run on XP but not Vista.

Lets not get into the whole XP vs Vista debate, Im running lots of programs, including games from 1998... so there you go.

As looki said there were some small issues with vista, but they were fixed in build 245? ish... as long as your running the latest build then there is no major problems. Been running MMF2 dev on vista for quite awhile and no issues.

I use Vista and I have had very few problems (if any!?) with MMF2 and old games/applications... One of my favorite games, Dungeon Keeper 2, from 1999, runs OK! :)

I just got a new computer 2 weeks ago. I was using XP and now I'm using Vista. I have not noticed any difference thus far. Everything works fine.

I made a thread with an example to reproduce this bug:

MMF2 will work fine on Vista. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Infact, the only negative I have to say about Vista is it's User Account Control. But you can turn that off 8D
