P2Genie for Vista?

[Jeff Wilmes]

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I am also looking into a new laptop and wondering if anyone has used a Vista laptop with transferring their P2 data from cards and/or firestore.

Answer is YES, at least under Win Vista Home Premium. Here’s what I did:

1. First installed the P2 Driver and P2 Viewer, can be gotten from Panasonic. They are made for Vista, and work fine.

2. Installed Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 from Microsoft. I’m not sure if this is required, but I read something online that made me think so.

3. Installed P2 Genie as usual.

It works as it always did, albeit with a few Windows Vista popups here and there. I have not tested the footage in an editor, but it appears fine in P2 Viewer.

If you’re trying to do this, best of luck!

My System:

Toshiba P105-6217
Core2Duo
PC Type II and Expresscard slots
Win Vista Home Premium
All updates are current
