Pscale Win 3.5 for Vista 32
Return to Previous Page
Pscale for Win users should probably have Version 3.X or higher installed on their system. The version number is on the Pscale startup screen. This upgrade can also be applied to Pscale Win running on Win 98, ME, 2000, and XP but there are only a few minor improvements concerning pre-Vista platforms. (see vista32.htm)

For Vista specific features, you current installation should be in the default c:\pscale folder. Otherwise you will have to do some hand editing of a configuration file for 100% compatibility. See Pscale Installed in different folder below
If you are running version 3.5 on a Windows Vista machine you should pull down the Setup menu and click the Graphics Win/Dos option. Answer (Y)es to the top question and hit the enter Key. You can ignore the remaining questions. Do this after any changes regarding Pscale in a different folder.
The Pscale Graph Compare routines in Vista are facilitated by using the "Open Source" DosBox Dos Emulator which works fine for these routines. Read: About DosBox in the Pscale Help menu.
Pscale Installed in different folder: If you have Pscale Win installed in a folder like c:\program files\pscale instead of the Pscale default folder of c:\pscale you will have to type in the correct path/location of the WinZip upgrade installer and hand edit a config file once you run Pscale. After starting the installed Pscale 3.5 you can edit the config right from Pscale by pulling down File, clicking Windows program, and typing in: notepad dosbox.conf and hitting the Enter Key. This will open the config file in notepad. Make the following change described below to the 2nd line of the file. Then pull down File, click Save, and then exit notepad. That should do it.
