Any reasoning behind mudbox stating that you need to have the “business” version of vista? Would the version just below that work fine or what? Same question for xp pro… I was just trying to be as cheap as I can be since I would only be purchasing windows for mudbox alone and I’d like to use my cheapest option.
I’ve got the newest macbook pro if that means anything… I believe its qualified ok on mudbox’s site.
I’m on Ultimate 32… which works fine… but when trying the Trial I ran into problems with messages saying “you must have administrator privileges to run Mudbox2009”
I was an administrator however? but right clicking the Icon and running as administrator worked in the end.
Now I have purchased the full version it runs perfectly when launched.
Does the Sys Req say you need a particular Vista Version? with Maya it says Business although I’m on Ultimate… and works fine.

i think the qualification process is just to stop the support teams being in inundated with request for help from people with every variant of o.s.
Thanks… Unfortunately I think this is the main reason I have decided to go with ZBrush. No Mac version and too uptight on their supported systems… Seems like they are looking for a reason to hang up on you on the support line.
I had a weak moment and was willing to install Vista (which I already abandoned once) but finally I just couldn’t do it. Not for this “one” program that has a competitor that is on par with it and has a mac version. Plus its cheaper…
