Announcing VistaBootPRO 3.2.0 Final
April 27, 2007
After intensive work by the PROnetworks Betas Team, Software Design staff and the Applications Development staff, we are pleased to announce that the first non-Beta version of VistaBootPRO, v3.2.0, the original program developed by PROnetworks is now available for download!
With a total worldwide distribution of over half a million downloads, VistaBootPRO has proven to be an indispensible utility for the Vista enthusiast, and was recently named to PC World's "101 Fantastic Freebies" list.
Thanks to all the suggestions from our members and users, we have redesigned VistaBootPRO 3.2.0 to incorporate many of the features you have asked for. Written using Microsoft C# for added reliability and stability, VistaBootPRO 3.2.0 now includes improved built-in diagnostics to help find and correct errors in the BCD store, and a number of new utilities and advanced options. We are able to provide a means of permanently disabling the driver signing requirements of Windows Vista 64-Bit versions so that unsigned device and application drivers can easily be tested. VistaBootPRO 3.2.0 offers full support for all the commercially available versions of Windows Vista.
The logical and easy to use VistaBootPRO interface makes it easy for both the novice and advanced user to make changes to the Boot Configuration Data store (BCD) without having to use the complex command line application bcdedit.exe
Advanced settings include backing up and exporting your boot loader configuration, making advanced "functional" changes like adding an Operating System to the boot menu, repairing the Windows Vista boot configuration data and modifying other settings which will affect the way that Windows Vista boots.
VistaBootPRO can also be used to make "cosmetic" changes to the Windows Vista boot menu such as changing the name of the Operating Systems shown and changing the default boot operating system.
VistaBootPRO 3.2.0 may be used from within Windows Vista and Longhorn Server, as well as legacy operating systems including Windows XP (Home, PRO, x64, and MCE 2005), and Windows Server 2003.
