using I-deas 10 with Vista / using any I-deas version with vista

using I-deas 10 with Vista / using any I-deas version with vista

(OP)
Hi all,
I have been using i-deas for 12years now and  i have seen the change from unix over to NT to XP but what about Vista?

I have tried to install a copy of I-deas10 on to vista with limited success.

I-deas works to a degree in that it starts but i get lots of messages saying :-

MEM_BAD_POINTER

I've googled it and i believe it to be the operating language not conpatable with Vista. I then went on to read that you can run a program in XP mode within Vista, but you have to convert the file by hand to open in XP mode however, which files do you do? (there are loads)

Any ideas on the suject?
Anyone know if I-deas 12 works?
Any work arounds?
Will there be a fix out in the future?

I've tried to find out info but to no avail, so here it is

The start somewhere to place comments on the suject.

Hi,
  I have no idea. My experience was unlucky like you. I also can be used I-DEAS V10 with XP OS but for Vista OS, I could not install the software.

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

This is not the same as the link you refer to .

I'm refering to Vista running ideas and the problems with it, not XP with SP2 running ideas and it's problems

I did do a search and found nothing, therefore hence the start of a thread.

I did read the above thread and tried it, but in vista there is no Languages tab check boxes to turn off.
