Computer Upgrade ResScan no longer works

Post by Dennisla » Sun Jul 19, 2009 10:36 am

Argh, ( FYI - that's pirate speak )
How many had to deal with this? ResScan Version 3.5 Software not working on the new computer?

How about a few more details, like old OS, new OS?

What is the software doing or not doing?

Oh sorry,
I know the 3.5 software is not compatible because of the upgrade.
I just wont install.
The new computer is a Pentium Quad CPU running Vista.
But after dumping all the cash into getting the computer up and running.
Just a little frustrating, that now I've got buy new Software all over again.

Vista has issues with some software & is known to break it & 3.5 has been discussed before. I think you need to go to 3.7 of ResScan to get it working on Vista. If you have 3.5, I would expect such an upgrade to be a freebie. Call Resmed & ask them. Gotta be worth a try.

Did you try a full uninstall and a clean install? My 3.5 plays well with Vista.

Did you install as administrator ? - maybe that is one of the gotchas (but I was sure past threads said 3.5 had problems on Vista - Slinky may remember)

Both Rescan 3.5 and Rescan 3.7 work fine for me with both Vista x86 and Vista x64.

Cheers,

Bill

Got the 3.7 upgrade. That did the trick.
3.5 I had just would not install.
It would come up with a dialog saying it was for windows 2000, XP, NT 4.0 and maybe something else. But not vista.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
I am all set now to make up my reports for my Doc visit this Thursday.

All the Best

Glad it all worked out

I can see that some others appear to be lucky with their installs but your experience confirmed what I had come accross.
