From: First of One on 21 Nov 2009 11:51 Is there a functional version of MMC for Vista? If so, then I assume you've tried installing it in Win7 with no success? If not, then I don't think it will ever work. Vista has a different WDDM driver model than XP after all. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Try the Windows 7 compatibility mode by running XP in a virtual window over Win 7. You should be able to install drivers and MMC in the XP window. You just need enough memory to do this.

I was hoping someone here could point me to a mirror.

Perhaps but now it isn't and he is crying a river because his outdated hardware is not Vista ready, or was it Win7 he was bitching about?. Here's a tip I learned long ago, use the right hardware for the OS in use and don't try to fit a square peg into a round hole. |
