VBE - system requirements

Arcadia
Booster
Anyone know if VBE will run on Vista Home Basic or Premium or std Windows XP? I'm having a lot of clients saying they can't run the file and trying to work out why. The documentation says that xp proffessional, or Vista Ultimate, Business, Enterprise needed but I can't see why the other vista versions wouldn't work.

This is most frustrating as us designers or architects probably all have the latest gear but the run of the mill clients often don't.

Vista 64 won't run Archicad VR scenes because (I've been told) Apple hasn't written a driver for VR to work with Microsoft 64 bit computers. Works fine with MS 32 bit. Maybe VBE suffers from the same cause in MS 64 bit OS's.

There must be some users out there who can try it.

Works fine on Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
It must be the graphics cards. What are they?

I am glad to hear that. Leaves only the Archicad VR object and VR Scenes that don't work with MS 64 bit OS's.
