Can ADINA be used with Windows Vista?

Answer:

In general, ADINA can be used with Windows Vista. However, there are some known issues:

1. AUI graphics in OpenGL mode may not work properly with Vista Aero

2. The Pick cursor does not display properly

• AUI graphics in OpenGL mode may not work properly with Vista Aero

  To turn off Vista Aero: from the Control Panel, click the Personalization icon:

  
  
  
  
  

  Then click 'Window Color and Appearance' in the next window:

  
  
  
  
  

  Click 'Open classic appearance properties for more color options':

  
  
  
  
  

  Select a non-Aero Color scheme (e.g., Windows Vista Basic) and click OK.

  
  
  
  
  

• The Pick cursor does not display properly

  You will need to change the Precision Select cursor.

  From the Control Panel, click the Personalization icon:

  
  
  
  
  

  Now click 'Mouse Pointers':

  
  
  
  
  

  Scroll down in the 'Customize:' box and double-click Precision Select:

  
  
  
  
  

  Select the cross_rm (+) cursor, click Open to choose, and then OK to close the Mouse Properties window.
