Note:
Due to enhanced security of Microsoft® Vista® operating system, software products designed for Windows® XP may fail when installed in Vista. While Northport has extensively tested Fugawi Version 4.5 in the Vista Operating System, some features of Fugawi may not operate correctly under Windows Vista due to issues with third party drivers or components which are not in our control. We strongly recommend that customers download the 4.5 upgrade and test it in Demo Mode to ensure that all requirements are met before purchasing the upgrade. The following features are known not to work when Fugawi is installed under the Vista operating system:

Customers who notice any other issues with Fugawi operation in Microsoft Vista are invited to report the problem.
