Windows Vista

[tiburona]

Thanks for your reply, Peter.  The problem is that Dell, at least on
their website, was refusing to let me order an Audigy card with XP,
but giving me a little error that said I had to choose Vista if I
wanted that sound card.  I suppose it's conceivable if I called Dell
they could fix me up.

Do you have any experience running E-Prime on a Vista machine, or have
you heard stories?  Do you know of specific problems they ran into,
and what version of E-prime they were using?

Thanks again, everyone, for all your help.
