    Hi gals/guys,

    Is there any way to make MD2 works with vista? Repair utility doesn't help at all. Any advice would be great.

    Thanks.

    Just call up Tech Support and tell them you need the MD3 DVD sent out (tell them you bought a new hard drive and you need to reinstall MD3 for vista) - they didn't hassle me when I called and they sent it out via DHL Next Day (no charge for shipping either).

    It isn't an issue because I have MD3 DVD with me but I like MD2 more. So, I take that as MD2 will not work with vista. Right? No way at all to make it work?

    IMO it shouldn’t be impossible; because both MediaDirect 2 and 3 are Cyberlink media applications running on Windows XP. However I’m not exactly sure how to do it. Maybe if you play around with both MD3 and MD2 installation files you might be able to do something.
    Just curios, why do you prefer MD 2 ?
