Does anyone know if any of the versions of NifSkope work with Microsoft Vista?   Thanks.

Symon

Currently no.

Nifskope has always used OpenGL (not DirectX). In it's wisdom, microsoft removed meaningful OpenGL support from Vista. (Rather cleverly getting out of several markets. For example, many Rendering programs prefer or only use OpenGL, making Vista useless in these fields).

Thanks Symon, kind of a bummer, but I appreciate you getting back to me.

Symon

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

See the "Any real advantage to Windows Vista ?" for some other experiences.

See almost any game forum board (e.g. Morrowind) for tales of woe re vista.

Microsoft seem to have produced the O/S that no one can use.
