50% thumbs up 50% thumbs down

The Mindstorms NXT 1.0 software will work on Windows Vista if you follow the instructions below. There are a few limitations, but please remember that the Mindstorms NXT 1.0 software was developed and released long before Windows Vista had been made available and had not been designed for this operating system. During the summer 2007 version of the Mindstorms NXT software will be available with full support for Windows Vista.

Install Mindstorms NXT as you would on Windows XP with the following exceptions:

1. When the installer launches, Windows Vista will require you to acknowledge running ‘autorun.exe’ (if you are logged on as a Admin user) or to provide Admin credentials (if you are logged in as a Standard user).

2. A notice will appear saying that this version of Windows has not been tested with LEGO Mindstorms NXT. Click OK to dismiss the notice.
