So keep running vista on your machine and use virtual pc 2007 to run xp. If your running vista at all hopefully you have the resources to run that...

I actually tried that, but no go. SD require direct3d.MS Virtual PC uses a software virtual video card, which obviously has no hardware 3d rendering capabilities. Now you can use the -gdi command line switch to force SD to open without it, but not in the development environment.

I've been using SD on my Vista laptop the past few days fine (finally!) Try switching of UAC from the control panel if you are having problems, if you can't get SD to even open in Vista this thread discusses what may need to be done.
