I'm having problems with PSpice Demo 10.0 under Vista.

When I tried to install PSpice into Vista, it didn't want to install
because it recognized that I wasn't using NT, 2000, or XP. So I used
the Compatibility Wizard and installed it as Windows XP.

But when I run Capture CIS and create a new project, Capture is
missing a toolbar. The missing toolbar is the one that contains the
Simulation Settings, the Run button, and the V, I, and W buttons. I
can't run a simulation without those.

Have I missed setting an option? Is Vista the reason the toolbar
doesn't appear?
Two things. First, take a look at the Project view, and see what is at
the top. It should have Analog/Mixed Signal there. If it has PCB, then
you won't have any PSpice tools available. Start a new project, making
sure you choose Analog/Mixed Signal. If you do it in the same directory
with the same name as the DSN file, it will inherit the DSN file.

Second, you are in Terra Incognita. Even the latest versions have not
been tested or even supported under Vista, much less the old 10.0
version. Folks always insist on taking old software and trying to run
it in new OS, and then complain when they don't work... 8-)

I purchased full pro versions of both Win2K and WinXP. When I need to
replace a PC again, I'll just roll my own. I'm tired of Micro$hit
dominating my life with crap.
