Is he safe from windows deleteing his files? Should he not use vista and buy windows xp for his comp.? I have windows xp on my comp. so if I upgrade to the newest hoster Im ok right? I guess what Im trying to ask is the problem that is accuring... is it becuase of vista only?

It will work as long as he is connected to the internet to install it.

FYI:

online is just the first part, the next part is it transmits to MTU to verify the install.

Not so Beavis (who is OFTEN right on... I might add). 3.320 has the problem removed that "could" trigger Windows to delete... er... HIDE... all your KMA files in a fraction of a second.

Yes, he is safe, but 3.321 goes further. We spent several man months ironing out the VISTA incredible mess. It was HIDING your KMA files. 3.321 uses Folders and Registry Keys that Vista won't stomp all over.

Read the differences at: http://www.mtu.com/updates/hoster.htm and scroll to below the "prices" boxes to the VERSIONS. Most everything we did are listed there.

I definitely would download and install 3.321. Yes, you can save the download installation file to a CDROM. When we ship our CDROM, it has a snazzy Installer program, includes all the master install files for all MTU current releases, and their demos, so you can test drive them if you want. Of course it takes a unique RegCode for each product to register the full versions.
