maybe it's my old gateway monitor 21"

i like virtual reality....and 3d anything and or graphics....

the opening window did not give you a choice of English it seems
and when i clicked the Chinese icon just to see a demo screen
all hell broke loose Cheferson and suddenly my screen shrunk down to 10 x 12 inches
and it took me a long time to reset it back to normal.

not bad mouthing you......but the program at least on my PC
ain't friendly.... that's all

I'm not going to try as did not see Vista(x64) listed, only (X32).

Downloaded but haven't tried yet. It is done in collaboration with IBM so I would HOPE it is OK.

I'm also running 64bit Win7U so I'll need to check the sysreqs

I tried to install and run on a WinXP system with only 640K RAM (req is 2GB). Down loaded the 210MB file (5 min), installed software (about 15 min), run first time: error VFC.exe, re-booted, run again same error, uninstalled (15 min). I think it is the video/3D requirements that is taxing the system.

Does seem like an potentially interesting tool to see the Forbidden City without actually having to travel there.

Changed my mind. I installed on Vista(x64) with 6Gb RAM, ATI Radeon HD video card. Works great!! Recommend putting at the highest resolution your system can handle (ctrl-O opens screen control).
