Avid XPress Pro and Windows Vista
I upgraded to Windows Vista and now can’t get my AVID XPress Pro to open. The error message says operating system not supported. Does anyone know what to do?

Reinstall Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. Vista isn’t supported and likely won’t be for a very long time.

Did you see somewhere the xpress Pro was going to work with Vista?

Unless Avid stops writing its program for Windows or buys every remaining copy of XP Professional to give away with all future software purchases, they will have to work with Vista at some point. The near future though–highly unlikely. They still haven’t released an Avid product for the new Intel Macs (although it’s in beta and the word on the street is it’s nice and getting closer to release every day). Working on approving their software for a poorly received OS that still has a huge amount of problems to work out is, I’m purely guessing, low on Avid’s list of things to do. Especially since it isn’t hard to buy XP Professional, which is what Avid runs on now. Until Avid says it’s supporting Vista, stick with XP Pro. My 2 cents.
