Hi, Virginia. Yes, the new laptop is running Vista. I don't know if I installed the v7 PDF printer - I just downloaded and installed the trial version and then unlocked it with my code. I didn't change anything about the install defaults. I did not try to save the report as a PDF; I printed directly from the screen. This had always worked in the past, but my old laptop ran XP sp2. (I waited to change to Vista until it seemed "safe" for TMG.) I hope this gives more information.
