Dragon and Vista
 

Hey, I just purchased a new laptop, which came loaded with Windows Vista. When I tried to install my Dragon version 9 Preferred (I think it's about a year old), it wouldn't work with Vista. I tried looking around the Nuance website for advice, but couldn't find much of anything...but eventually I stumbled across this:

It will allow you to download an upgraded version at no charge, as long as you have the serial number off of your current version so they can verify that you own a valid version.

Just thought I'd pass this along in case it would be helpful to any of you with an older version of Dragon. The download takes forever...I have broadband, but it took four hours (I left it to run overnight, so can't verify the actual time; that was the estimate). I haven't had a chance to try it out, as my daughter is practicing the piano in the background! But it installed just like the original discs, so I think it should do fine.
