    Sent an email to them asking for a solution. Hopefully they don't say "Get another OS"

    If they send me a response, I will post it here.

    Dear Vista... i'll have no chance really soon to buy it to test some of my new software. It's just because i have no other choices... might be safer if i buy Vista32 and Vista64 just in case of... dear MicroBarf

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Well I got a response fairly quick.

Currently none of my IDEs will compiler with PBC since it is not compatible with any 64 bit OS. Is there a patch or work-a-around for this? Currently assembler and other compilers work fine.

    Their response:

    Hello,

    Not for PBC.
    We have had reports that PBP works underWin64.

    Thank you,

    Looks like only Pro version will work with it then. Glad I can program in other lanuages then

    Default Quick Workaround

    Vista 64 enforces driver signing. If you need to disable it, at boot time when windows starts, press F8. This will start the boot options menu. In addition to safe modes and last known versions you will find, disable driver signing enforcement. This will allow you to run any programs that don't have signed drivers.

    Hopefully that works for you.

    I have tried disabling the driver signing but that didn't do anything. I think its the picbasic compiler itself. Thanks anyways.

    Another solution:

    Pay US$100 and buy an old system like PIII-800; if it does not come with an OS then set it up with Win98. This way you own a dedicated compiler machine.

    You will have a smile on your face every time you program a PIC with that machine.

    Smile PDS & Spark Technologies SparKey Drivers - VISTA x64 WORKS!

    Simply use "ReadyDriver Plus", this tool automates pressing F8 and selecting "Disable Driver Signature Enforcment" during boto in Vista, a perfect solution.

    I tested this using files provided by "Lester Wilson" from crownhill as below:

    A simple temp solution untill somone can be bothered to sign the drivers, which i must add is not exactly the most complicated of tasks:
