Title: Vista Reg Fix, Win 7, Smoothstepper
Post by: thosj on July 26, 2010, 08:46:39 AM

Is there a definitive answer of whether the Vista Reg fix is needed with Windows 7 and a SmoothStepper? I've looked around and found some discussion, but no definite answer.

IIRC the reg fix is needed only if you are running the pport.
If running an external motion controoler like the smooth stepper, DSPMC, or galil board you don't.

OK, cool. That's what I thought, but never found a real answer.

I installed on a new Win7 computer, did NOT install the reg fix, running SmoothStepper, all is well!! So I guess I confirmed it!
