some notes about Vista installation (also may apply to 64bit XP and Windows 7).

Most of the web page below applies to 64bit Vista. 

64bit Vista is a 'different animal'. For example it does not have support for dos based programs like all previous versions of Windows. 

We understand that dos is very old and Microsoft is justified in ending support.

The dos-compiled Stratford program is created using a compiler that has not been updated by Microsoft since 1994. It would probably be reasonable for Stratford to discontinue support for a program that old. Our policy is that we will support our program as long as it can be updated with a reasonable effort and the maintenance is supported by our clients.

Click here for instructions to share a folder with Vista if you want to network the Stratford program.


Please note that our old instructions about installing on Vista are no longer needed. You should be able to install now with no problems. We have rewritten our installer to handle all the 'unusual' and offensive problems caused by Vista. If you have trouble with our current installer, please contact Stratford support: support@stratfordsoftware.com


For users of the old (but still supported) Stratford dos version, click here for additional instructions that you need for Vista.

If you have problems using a network printer that works on non-Vista and non-XP computers, click here for a possible solution.


We would appreciate hearing from you if the procedure above does not work or if you had to do any additional steps.
