Vista 64

[Anonymous user]

When do you think your programmers will spent a fey hours and get us some drivers for Vista 64 so we can fully use powerchute? I just bought two BX1300LCD models and was annoyed to find out that their is no vista for them.....


Thanks....Mason

You can download PowerChute Personal Edition for Windows Vista here: [PowerChute Personal Edition|http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=129]. Be sure to get the Windows Vista version.

Thanks Voidstar..But I believe that is for Vista 32.... I have 64bit.....

You're right, my mistake.

From what I know right now, is that support for 64-bit systems is in the works with PCPE. Currently the only software package that supports 64 if PowerChute Network Shutdown, which is not compatible with your Back-UPS. Check the software/firmware downloads page in the near future to see if anything has been released. At this time, I cannot provide an ETA.

I have vista 64, and having no problems using my apc ups (which is actually kinda old) but still in fine condtiion..

Im using 2.11 personal ...as my original cd is very old and was version 1.xxx something.

Yes its 32bnit, but im not sure what we would gain ups-wise by going 64bit.
Im all for it..just wondering.



What I would love is some sort of windows sidebar gadget for the chute software...
Ive been working on one myself, but i am still playing with the idea more than actually developeing it.

I also wish it had more features, but I will likly have to buy a new ups ..
Wont till Im inm my new house in 1-3 years... (building a new home soon, still in design stage).

The house will b e a smart house, in that its a house for a computer geek (me)...

WIll likley have ups's everywhere, so hopefully will go network or similar on them too and not just equipment.
