do you mean Pipex? not piper?

Many ISP's that claim not to be compatibile actually are you just need to do z=some searching

Hi Catherine,

I'm actually employed by DSGi (parent company of currys), the vast majority of ISP's are windows vista compatible, however a small minority of them sadly aren't. In which case i'd recomend using a DSL router to replace the modem they've given you, this should also eliminate the need to use the non-vista compatible software. I'm sure if you spoke to pipex they'll sort you something out; be it or DSL router or maybe just a newer version of the software.

Windows vista was available in the industry long before it was released to the public, therefore pipex would of had plenty of time to test their current release of software with the new OS.

The rep from pipex that you spoke to seemed to be aware of the above issue, i'm surpised that they didn't offer you a solution?

hope this helps,

Dazza

i use pipex with vista and other oses just fine here in the UK
