Initial experiences with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and NONMEM and PDx-Pop 3.0

Installation of Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista was uneventful but time consuming (approximately two hours). No problems were encountered running NONMEM VI with Intel Visual Fortran 10.0 installed on Windows Vista for Business for x64-based systems on an AMD Turion dual core processor. No problems were encountered either running PDx-Pop 3.0 on the same system. (Earlier versions of PDx-Pop are not compatible with Windows Vista.) One user reported a difficulty with Windows Vista and g77 when trying to recompile NONMEM with MAXIDS=100000: "Having upgraded my Windows machine, I am having trouble when I attempt to recompile NONMEM to have 100K MAXIDs. I specifically get an error with respect to SUMGMT below when recompiling - there is just not enough memory for that. As I understand it ( possibly incorrectly), Vista does not allow as much memory to be available to DOS windows as previous Microsoft OSes ( See, for example, http://www.trnicely.net/misc/vista.html http://www.trnicely.net/misc/vista.html )" I had no problem recompiling with MAXIDS=100000 with Intel Visual Fortran, so this may be g77-specific with Vista. If you have had any difficulties running NONMEM and/or PDx-Pop 3.0 under Windows Vista, I would appreciate hearing about the issue, particulary if you are able to send control and data files to reproduce the issue.
