Astro Saber & XTS 3000 CPS Vista problems

Post by fde302 »

I have recently got a new Dell laptop with vista ultimate as an operating system installed on it. I have loaded most of my Motorola CPS programs on it with no problem. Some of them are older versions and some are newer versions of CPS. But the Astro Saber & XTS 3000( version R04.01.02) I know it's old but it still works for me. will not install it keeps stating that this Application requires windows NT 4.0 or higher . This installation will now exit. Any help out there to fix this problem. Thanks

Astro Saber & XTS 3000 R05.03.00 CPS, which just came out not long ago supports Vista...

Stupidity creates job security!

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

Not in Vista it won't...it's quite simply not compatible. We even have a 'sticky' thread at the top of this very forum on the subject:

There's a few things you can try using compatibility mode, etc, but you really should get the latest 5.03.00 as Mfire39 stated...or blow Vista away & load XP SP3 on the new computer.
