Purchase just Encore Viewer?

I purchased just the DT3500 trying to save money, but Encore Pro 1.8.49 isn't working for me on Vista and I can't find 1.8.65. Is there anywhere I can buy just Encore Viewer without the reader?

Thanks.

consider buying the package and then sell the card reader cheap to someone else

Do you have 32-bit Vista or 64-bit Vista? Neither EncorePro or EncoreViewer work with 64-bit Vista.

64-Bit Vista. FYI, I did have Encore Pro working on 64-bit Vista for about a week and then for some reason it stopped. I did have to manually change I believe a registry entry so it could find the MSDE database, but it definitely was reading off the card. I believe Windows Update pulls down a new driver for the DT3500 from Microsoft.

If you can't get Encore Pro 1/8 to work with "Vista", don't waste money on Encoreviewer, as they use the same driver 32 bit... Jim

Don't remember what you did? What is the error message you get?

Goofproof, do you know whether either one works with any Linux based os? I never want Vista and don't know what I'd do if I couldn't use my software. . . Someday my xp system will die and I plan to go to Linux unless MS does better than Vista.

The easyiest thing would be use another of those 30,000,000 Windows XP computers in the junk yards, or my cave. Medical software has always came last, hospitals just now have migrated from DOS. My sister-in-law runs and owns a medical data transcribing service for doctors and hospitals, she has to use Windows 2000, to stay in business, it's getting hard to find hardware good enough to run her software. At least with the user base of XP, it will be around as long as most of us need it, we may have to forgo having the latest and greatest, and just use what works. Jim

Windows XP will probably outlast all the "M"eries Machines, not the "Classics", may need it al few years longer.

Maybe you guys haven't seen the commercials for Windows Mohave ?

DOS, that's amazing! I remember DOS and I remember programming fortran on punch cards, too. Just a bit obsolete these days, no? No wonder the health care profession is in such bad shape with sleep doctors probably using commodore 64's to generate those boilerplate reports they give us.

Luckily, I focused on the "Classics" though I got a used M-series pro for travel. I got my main auto machine as a classic and a backup used pro cpap classic. I also got a used Classic pro smoke-tainted machine (very cheap price) for when I go to a cabin that uses a wood stove. I got those classics mainly because you presented such a good argument for how well built the are. I do think they will outlast me. Maybe I'll pass them on to future generations in my will

They will have to figure out how to use them with Windows Mohave, Browser. I don't get TV so missed the commercials for it.

A Rose by any other name, doesn't smell as bad as Windows Mohave I can't believe that ad, the people are supposed to be in awe of the O.S. It's the hardware and programing that make a computer. If it stays running, and does what you need without bloat, the O.S. is about as much to get excited about as the color of the border on the screen. amaricans are so dumb, you can sell them anything.

This year I trashed about $4,000 retail cost, of Commodore 64's and 128''s, 4 1541 drives, 2 1581 drives, 2,000 programs, Star NX2400 printer, all on them working and no resale value, not worth shipping, I even had a device to hook 10 systems together. I could have ruled the world with that kind of power. Life moves on!

Never did the punch card thing, but once got part of the brain of a old computer, 20 inch by 20 inch had hundreds of plug-in logic cards with transistors, caps, and resistors. Logic gates it was a wiring nightmare. Jim

You should have sold them to some sleep doctors for those boilerplate reports they generate . . . .

Or sold the data cards on E-Bay as rare Old Smart cards. Jim

Back in the old days, I believe they used punch cards to record the Smart card data Many patients complained that those punch card machines were too noisy and stopped using them (or wore earplugs). Those punchcards are the real antiques today. Respironics destroyed most of them so patients wouldn't have access to their data, though. They claimed it was in the interest of patient privacy. Very rare today!
