3.2.1.3 Windows Compatibility

Z38XX may not operate properly under the Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. It is
best to start these versions of Windows in XP Compatibility Mode. This will ensure proper operation
of the program. Of course, you can try running under Windows Vista or 7 as it does work on some
systems.
