[Equest-users] eQuest in Vista

[Karen Walkerman]

Hello All,

I have just bought a new computer and am running eQuest in Vista.  I have
followed the instructions posted to run eQuest as if in Windows 2000.

However, I'm running into an issue that is problematic:  When I use the
regular explorer view to view my project files, any new documents created by
eQuest are not shown in the windows explorer.  This means that I cannot open
.inp files, .pd2 files or hourly report files.  When I'm in eQuest and open
a file, eQuest can see everything just fine.  Any thoughts on how to remedy
this?  I do need to view these file types!

Thanks for your help!
