I have a friend who is having problems communicating between their KN7000 and PC via USB, with Vista as the operating system.

I don't have access to any PCs with Vista and wonder if anyone has had success communicating via USB.

I have a laptop that has Vista Home Premium,and I was able to play mp3 music via
a USB port with cable connected to the KN7000, if that's any help. Derek

Technics left the market long before Vista, so no drivers were ever developed for it.
The only thing you can try is to load it using compatibility mode, and hope for the best.
The only other option is to have a dual boot system, and use XP when you wish to use your Technics.
Hope this helps

Thanks for your comments

Apparently, my friend can use the Panasonic Recorder program OK but has a problem with Song Manager. This would suggest that the USB drivers are compatible with Vista. Also, Derek's reply would tend to confirm this. So maybe the problem lies within the Song Manager program..........

Has anyone managed to use Song Manager with Vista?

No, I run Vista Ultimate from work and SD-Explorer works fine, but w.r.t. SongManager I have no experience.

Hi Bill,

I seem to remember when Vista was first released, Joan Banfield reported on this site that it worked with the KN7 but I can't remember exactly what she said. Maybe if you contact her, she'll fill you in on the details.

Hi Audrey = NOT ME - I don't have VISTA!!!!

Joan

Sorry Joan, guess it's another 'senior moment'

However, I do recall someone mentioning it but again, it could have been with a laptop. I guess Bill will soon receive the answer to his question from this great Forum.
