oh ok thank you. :)Vista doesn't have the virtual AP that 7/8 have that makes the virtual hotspot possible, so no.
Btw, I hang in the #pokemon channel 24/7, and I can get instantcheck running, so if you see me, poke a message and if I'm near the computer, I'll see it and we'll see if I can check whatever you need. If you don't see an answer after a few mins, it's most likely I'm not near the computer.
