Vista Disclaimer The Gavilan Spanish programs included on the Gavilan Spanish Review CD (Gaspar, Dictionary, etc.) are tested and supported on the version of Microsoft Windows™ currently installed at the College, specifically Windows XP and Office 2003. At present, Gavilan College has no plans to upgrade to Windows VISTA and Office 2007. This limits our ability to test and support our software on these new versions. 32-bit Vista To the best of our knowledge, Gaspar and the Dictionary work on 32 bit VISTA. The Dictionary works with Microsoft Office or Word 2003 running on 32 bit VISTA. The Dictionary can be connected to the Office 2007 version of Word, but the method to connect and the interface differs from earlier versions of Office, both on XP and on 32 bit VISTA. 64-bit Vista To the best of our knowledge, Gaspar works on 64 bit VISTA. The Dictionary does not work on 64 bit VISTA. The lack of support for the Dictionary may not be a significant loss to students, since all versions of Office and Word supported on 64 bit Vista include Spanish spell check and Spanish↔English translation. Virtual PC Alternative: In response to the increased availability and popularity of 64 bit Vista systems we offer a Virtual PC version of Windows XP SP2 which can be installed on 64 bit Vista systems - see below for details.
