The new Windows Vista is a radically different version of the previous Microsoft Windows OS. Timbuktu Pro version 8.6.0 runs on Windows Vista using a special built-in compatibility layer.

When running on Windows Vista, the remote-control, file-transfer, and Skype features in Timbuktu Pro 8.6.0 work normally. However, because of the OS-level changes in Windows Vista, certain constraints for incoming Timbuktu Pro access have been introduced. In addition, there are a number of known issues.

Most importantly, because of specific application-recognition requirements within Windows Vista, Timbuktu Pro version 8.6.0 is the only version of Timbuktu Pro that will run on Vista.

If you wish to run Timbuktu Pro on Windows Vista, please follow the instructions in this document as you install and configure it.
