Workstation 3.5.4 would be the version to use as it supports the USB ProTrack. It also supports the Prober with the Electrim ISA camera card (b&w).  It will run in 98/2000/XP.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, version 4.X only supports color cameras.

Thanks.

The ProTrack can be upgraded to USB. This makes upgrading PC OS and related items much easier than dealing with parallel ports. Newer PCs do not even have parallel ports anymore.

Thanks.

That is true. It is a fairly simple install.
Welcome aboard, Steve!

Only trouble here is that Huntron no longer suppy the ProTrack USB kit.
I was very lucky that Steve at Cimbian in UK found me a USB upgrade kit. But it does take a bit more than 30 minutes to install the first time!
And thanks to Dell support for finding me the drivers to get Windows XP Pro + SP3 working on a new Dell Laptop to run a ProTrack with USB and WS 3.5.4.

I'm sure there are a few engineers who run the ProTrack with USB on Windows XP who should know Microsoft will know longer support XP after 8th April 2014.

You should be okay as long as you stay with a 32bit OS which is available in Vista and Win7 (but maybe not so easy to find).

Has anyone on this Support Forum successfully used Workstation Ver. 3.54 in Windows Vista or 7 (in 32-bit mode) to run a ProTrack with USB port?

Workstation 3.5.4, even though it is 32bit and works in XP will not work in Vista. Drivers issues...

But Curtis you said on 2nd April 2013 that Pro Track using Workstation Ver. 3.5.4 would be ok with Vista & Windows 7 in 32-bit mode.
Users of Pro Track should be ok now you have a new version of Workstation to enable the Pro Track to work on Windows 7 in 64-bit mode.
But they will need you to supply the USB upgrade kit!!
