Problem: My version 3.5 CD-ROM will not run properly on my new Vista comuter.

Solution: Older versions of our birding software such as version 2.5, 3.0, v3.1 and v3.5 are NOT Vista-compatible. They are also not Windows 7 compatible. You cannot run these older programs on newer computers.

These versions were written well before Vista or Windows 7 were released by Microsoft. These older versions of our software will all work perfectly on Windows XP and the other operating systems listed on the box.

Our latest version, v3.9.8, was released on July 31, 2009 and is Vista and Windows 7 compatible and works on 32-bit as well as 64-bit computers. (It also works very well on Windows XP.)

We were forced to totally rewrite the program from the ground up when Microsoft released Vista. It was impossible to create an upgrade path due to the massive changes in Vista vs. XP.

There are many new features in this version. You can learn all about the improvements we have made by visiting: www.ThayerBirding.com and clicking on the "v3.9 Features" tab there.
