Hi,trying to install a tide program-WXTide32-get a cannot open tcd file error message.Will open and run on my desktop running XP but not on my lapttop running vista,and I want it primarily on the vista system,any thoughts,thanks.

the program is not made for Vista...only XP and older.

Education › Science-related Programs › WXTide32 4.7

you might try contacting them and see what they plan on doing for VISTA ompatability issues!

Vista has a Compatability function the same as Win XP.

Here's a tip I found with Google that may work for you.

I found this here: Run Applications In Compatibility Mode In Vista ~ Windows Fanatics

Hi,it says in the info not tested for vista but being a public domain program thought worth a try.Tried the combatability change but no luck,same as running as administrator.I did find one version written in java,that one worked fine but was only a partial version.The tcd files seem to be hard to find any info on,found a couple of supposed readers but sure didn`t recognize the source so was afraid to try,the one I found some other references too and tried didn`t work.Thanks for the input.

Hello again,think I got it.Had put in my documents.Went into and set both application folders into XP compatability,then would open from there.Closed and tried to open from programs,recieved tcd error message,wouldn`t open.Went into my documents,opened folder and put applicator on desktop and now will work fine from there.The applicator in programs is set to XP but won`t work from there.Even installed the WVS map grid as it should running from the folder in my documents.Thanks Wombat,you kept me going there even though I had tried your sugestion earlier,I just kept trying to open from programs.

Pleased to have been of some help mate...
