Hi guys and girls,

Just upgraded my computer to Windows Vista. All working fine but SmartTRAK, which requires a IR connection to my Aladin TEC 2G to download dives to the new PC.

I have spent some time on forums and google trying to find a solution, but it seems that the web is full of questions and no answers...

Also, couldn't find anything on the Scubapro website.

Maybe I am incompetent, but hey... what place is best to ask questions than here? I am sure other

fellow DIR diver that went through the same pain can give me some help to find the answer.

Would appreciate any thoughts and help.

All the best,

Dan

PS - yes Clare, I have searched the forum for previous threads..

I've been through all this and trust me - it was a barrel of laughs! Providing you've downloaded the very latest version of SmartTRAK (which definately is Vista compatible), the problem is probably being caused by your infrared adaptor. Unless it's specifically designed for Vista or is directly supported by Vista then it probably won't work.

Trust me - the best 'upgrade' you can carry out on Windows Vista is to wipe your hard drive and install XP.
