    I don't have a Vista machine and don't expect to get one but two of 
my friends have reported the same problem and I was hoping someone here 
might be able to help them.  They were using Spectran on machines with 
XP and "got a deal" on new machines using Vista.  Neither has been able 
to get Spectran to work on their new machines because the old sound card 
control program [SNDVOL32?] is not longer available.  I don't know if 
the difference is in the "Vista compatible" mother board or just in the 
OS.  I've only learned about the problems via email and neither guy is 
completely computer literate.  I thought I'd raised the question here 
before as to whether anyone had been able to use Spectran, Argo, or any 
of the other great programs on a Vista machine and that you or someone 
else had replied something to the effect that "Vista is the problem".  
I've heard nothing at all good about Vista and this just adds to the 
stories of problems. 

Thanks for any help,
