FAQ Microsoft Vista and USB drivers

The installation of Polar ProTrainer 5 on both Microsoft 32 bit and 64 bit Vista operating systems differs a little bit from installation on XP. User accounts that are members of the 'local Administrators' group will run most applications as a standard user. If you are logged into the system as standard user, the system will require you to give the administrator’s password to install the software.

If you have trouble installing the software, double-click the setup.exe directly from the CD ROM. On the ProTrainer CD, you can find setup.exe in folder path: protrainer5\setup.
