Design IQ Software System Requirements
Design
IQ may or may not run on Vista installations, depending
on the version and install parameters. Vista 64-bit and
Vista Home are very problematic. Vista Pro and Vista Ultimate
in the 32-bit versions will sometimes run Design IQ if the
settings are correct. In all cases, additional software
from Microsoft (which you might already have installed)
is required to make Design IQ operate. Unfortunately, we
are not supporting Vista installations of Design IQ because
of these problems.
