ODB with VistaI have Vista and when trying to install ODB, I get a message saying the database driver may not be properly installed. When I click install now automatically, I get error code 4 -- unable to connect to OC server. I saw that someone else was able to use ODB with Vista pretty simply, so I'm looking forward to the help.

hi Bridgette!
hi Bridgette!
Rest assured that ODB works fine on Vista... the problem you are experiencing is just that your firewall is closed to 'FTP' traffic -- this also can affect Windows XP.
You should see a screen asking if you want to obtain the database drivers manually or automatically... if you choose the 'manual' option you will be redirected to:
http://organizersdb.org/installhelp
And on this page there is a link you can use to download the drivers with the web browser instead of the 'ftp' method.
Good luck and let me know if you run into any other roadblocks.

Update 1/16/08: We are
Update 1/16/08: We are getting a few new reports about Vista; apparently there is a window resizing issue affecting ODB when your windows settings for Appearance ->Appearance Tab->Color scheme are set to Aero or Vista Basic.
As a workaround, you can set the color scheme to Windows Standard or Windows Classic until we fix this.
