I have Vista Pro 3.05 (fpu version) running fine on my Cyberstorm MK3 060.
Do you have a graphics card in the computer? Vista Pro doesn't like RTG screenmodes, so I have to switch to a standard PAL/NTSC screenmode before starting the program, otherwise it just doesn't start.


This can be solved. The solution is outlined in the documentation of ModePro. Basically you need to create a custom PAL/NTSC screen and call it Fakebench. Then you must use a binary editor and alter the Vista executable, replacing "Workbench" with "Fakebench". Check ModePro for full details.

I have problems when I run vistapro while workbench is in a picasso96 mode. Before I run vistapro, I have to switch workbench into "regular" 640x200 ntsc(assume pal will work too...) mode...


Which is exactly what you can solve as per my previous post...

I take it, it's fairly obvious how these programs are meant to work? I have never used a Binary editor before.


Should be pretty straight forward, yeah. Open the editor. Open the file, search for the string "Workbench" and change it to "Fakebench". Save and quit. Of course, it would be a good idea to back up the original just in case.
