AGWPE and Vista

AGWPE will run on the Microsoft Vista operating system but you may need to do the following if it doesn't run at first: go into the installation folder for AGWPE (and perhaps any of its client programs). Right click on the main program executable, e.g. AGW Packet Engine.exe

Then select the Properties option and then the Compatibility tab. Set the programs to run on Windows XP (Service Pack 2) mode and also check the Privilege Level option to Run this program as an administrator. By modifying the executable, you don't have to modify any shortcuts on the desktop or start menu for this to work.

Others have said that there are other bugs, particularly with the sound card mixer settings.  Graeme VK3VGK found he needed to re-define the "default device" in Vista using this method:

1. Right click on speaker icon located on the Windows tool bar.
2. Select recording devices.
3. Slide scroll bar until you locate 'Line in at rear panel (Blue)' (assuming that this is the input  you are using). Then right click on that input and choose 'set as Default Device'.

Randy K6YFE found that if you do not have something actually inserted into a sound card jack, VISTA may say "no audio device installed" under the recording tab. "When I inserted the patch cord into a MIC connection, VISTA then indicated a front MIC audio device and AGWPE works correctly."

Also, note that client packet programs that work with AGWPE may themselves not work in Vista at this point. If you have any suggestions to add, please e-mail me, KC2RLM.
