Vista and Nortel Contivity client--new update

[vipersl65]

Not sure where to post it here or Nortel but here it goes...

I upgraded my laptop to Vista and since then my Contivity client stopped working. It is giving me the "Eacfilt driver must be enabled on the active interface...." error message.

I found the beta 6.07d from this site

http://993399.com/resources/nortel_contivity_vpn_client_for_vista

and it worked for a while until it says it is expired. I reinstalled it and still says expired.

I found another eac607d.exe from another site and I noticed that this file is only about 2.6mb while the file I downloaded above previously is over 4.5mb. Needless to say, the new file I found is giving me the Eacfilt error too. Please help!

thanks so much

If you are after Vista drivers then the actual software manufacturer is the place to look.

Some of these links talk about using the XP SP2 Compatibility Mode on eac607d.exe, it might be worth a try?

According to that link, I have to use XP SP2 compatibility mode which I did. It worked for a few months until that VPN client says it is expiring. After it expired, it wouldnt work at all. Tried reinstalling it but nothing. I downloaded what it seems the same version but not a pre-release and this is the one giving me the EACFILT error

Is there any other alternative software?
