Since I ran up into the same situation as you, I can answer your question. My Vista is the Home Premiun edition on a 17 inch Toshiba LapTop. Yes, PAF5, with all its features/functions, will work very well in Windows Vista. However that is not correct for other Genealogy programs that I use as a Utility program, with my PAF data. There is a problem with Roots Magic, when you want to use it to create a large Wall chart. The problem I found was not PAF nor Vista, but ME, as I was having many problems understanding Vista and its many changes from the old Window versions. It took me over 7 months of trying to solve various problems, asking dozens of questions and at times nearly tearing my hair out of my head. But at the end of it, it is now working just fine. In fact it now has many additional functions that can be used with Vista, ie. larger print on the screen, etc. When you have any troubles/questions, and you will, don't hesitate to ask for help.

Actually, the problem Ross refers to is a problem with PDF drivers under Vista. RootsMagic runs great under Vista. Ross is trying to use a third party PDF driver to create a large wallchart PDF file which doesn't seem to work under Vista the same way it does under XP. - Bruce On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Ross G.H.
