Default Trouble with simPE
I had Windows Vista on this pc when I bought it, {years ago}. but in time I messed it up so I put in Windows 7. Now SimPE won't recognize Windows 7. When an error occurs it say's Vista is the operating system. I called a Dell tech and ask him how to take Vista off and put Windows 7 in it;s place, but to no avail. He was not familiar with the program. So I went to SimPE home place,{http://sims.ambertation.de/en} and there is no one there anymore. So if anyone knows how to fix this problem that would be great, or if you know who I might asked to fix this. Thanks Peggy

it's a small detecting bug that SimPE has. I got windows 7 and it's telling me the same thing, but you don't need to worry about it, it should run just as great as on Vista and older windows versions. ^-^

@Greenplumbbob Thank you for letting me know this is a small detecting bug. I don't mind that but I still can't see the item I made in the plug-in view. Oh well guess that's just something I will have to live with. But thank you lots and lots. Peggy

You mean that the plugin window isn't there, or you want to view your mesh in the 3D viewer but SimPE gives you this error/just doesn't show up?

It's not strictly a SimPE bug - Windows 7 calls itself Vista in various places, because 7 is largely based on the same code as Vista.

So yes, this isn't related to the OP's SimPE problem - but we can certainly try to solve that too, with some more information about what exactly is going wrong?

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.
