Since I received Starry Night Pro I have been trying to get help from the company(4 attempts)since I can not get it to load on my computer properly. If I do not hear from someone shortly I plan to return the purchase. from Amazon.com I was almost put off from purchasing Starry Night Pro 6 as some previous reviews said it was not compatible with Microsoft Vista. This version is, and it is much better, with more data, tours, images, etc. from Amazon.com My main interest is the Bible, but having noticed references to the heavenlies Job 38, Is 40:26, Ps 19:1, and so on and having a copy of Bullingers "Witness of the Stars" since 1979, I bought this. I didn't have problems loading it on any of my three computers, including my newest with Vista, (2 XP and 1 Vista) and having first followed their instructions and upgrading Quicktime player and downloading certain drivers from Microsoft it works great. It is fairly easy to use as soon as you start it up, I still haven't read the books that cone with it, but I am having no problem tooling around the heavens and time.. from Amazon.com i bought the "up-dated" version to run on vista, only to find out from tech support i would have to spend a day down loading 12 updates so the product would work. tech support said it was Microsoft's fault, but really it is the fault of the companies failure to spend the money to provide a version that would run on vista. from Amazon.com insert snpro6.2screen.jpg Starry Night Pro 6.2 http://www.starrynightstore.com/stniso.html from Amazon.com Excellent program as to ease of use. Really enjoy viewing the night sky real time. from Amazon.com I bought Starry Night in December 2006 only to find out it did not run on my old Windows ME computer so in Feb 2007 I bought a new computer running Windows Vista. Since Microsoft had already announced they were not going to support XP anymore I decided not to buy an OS that would be out of date when I purchased it! from Amazon.com It's easy to use and gives great views of th night sky, as well as a lot of additional information. from Amazon.com I'm fully on Vista x64 now, except for QuickTime and Starry Night. In fact since running Vista as one of the beta testers, the only BSODs I've ever received were from QuickTime and Starry Night! from Amazon.com This latest version of Starry Night Pro 6, as of late June 2007, does not work on Windows Vista. Amazingly, even though Vista has been out for five months, the manufacturer of this Starry Night software does not know when they will have an update available to make it work on Vista. from Amazon.com
