Vista Reg Fix, Win 7, Smoothstepper
« 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.

We never have the time or money to do it right the first time, but we somehow manage to do it twice and then spend the money to get it right.

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!
