What do I need to do to make promis•e run on Windows Vista?
First, verify that the versions of promis.e, the CAD platform, and Windows to be used are compatible. See the Compatibility Chart TechNote.
Disable the "Use Visual Styles On Windows and Buttons" performance option. If this is not done the mouse cursor movement may be slow in the drawing area. This setting is in System Properties > Advanced System Settings > Performance > Settings. (Note: the Windows key + Pause/Break is a shortcut to System Properties.)
If using promis•e over AutoCAD on Vista, you will need to make sure the AutoCAD settings for Acceleration are set to "Software Acceleration" using the 3DCONFIG command. If it is set to "Hardware Acceleration", then when you try to draw on any page, such as insert a symbol or draw a wire, the Title Block and all other contents on the page will disappear. If you reopen the page, the new item, plus the old ones will be on the page, so this is a display issue. Check the help files for the AutoCAD version you are using for exact information on the AutoCAD 3DCONFIG command.
