Post by seege »

Just wanna make sure that Windows 7 Home Premium is compatible with VS x5 probe fire purchasing. Also if someone could point out a great tutorial link that would be great too.

Thanks

I am not sure I understand your question. X5 was written for Win 7 so is certainly compatible with it. But I have no idea what you mean by "probe fire purchasing"...

The Gripps tutorials are good.

Why not go for X6. In the UK there is £16 difference on Amazon.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

Is it better to download the program off of the interment or buy and install manually?

Thanks

The best option is whatever suits you.

I always download from the internet and choose to save the file and then copy the downloaded file to a DVD in case I need it again. That way I have the programme instantly. I would never 'Run' the file as it was downloading.

Many people though prefer to have an original disc and buy the boxed version , but that does mean you either have to go shopping and purchase it or wait (and pay for) it to be delivered.

A personal preference based a lot on how fast an internet download is in your area.

With earlier versions, the only advantages of getting the boxed version were that it provided a hard copy (very small!) of the VS Manual, and more importantly, the capacity to do a Repair to the original installation when you later reinserted the disc. With the download version, if you ran Set-up again, the only option it gave was to Uninstall. But it has been so long now since I had a hard disc version of VS that I don't even know if the Repair option still exists in the boxed edition of either X5 or X6...
