Question

Will my SPSS application run on Windows Vista?

Answer

To see the compatibility of your SPSS application with the Windows Vista operating system, please consult the SPSS Product Compatibility Matrix for your particular product. This matrix is available on our Technical Support Web site, http://support.spss.com/. You do not need a Technical Support login to access it.

To access the SPSS Product Compatibility Matrix, go to the Technical Support home page and click on “Product Support.” Then select the product you are inquiring about from the list of supported products, and you’ll see the currently supported releases. On the next screen, you’ll see a link for the Product Compatibility Matrix.

You may wish to check the matrix from time to time, since it will be updated when new versions are released or support of the Vista Operating system is official.

If you’d like to obtain a Technical Support Web site login, click on “Login Options” to request a login or to purchase a Technical Support service contract. SPSS Technical Support's online technical support site is available 24 hours a day when you purchase a Technical Support service contract and login. You can search our resolution database, download patches, submit a question, and review your previously submitted cases.
