For everyone trying out the Windows Vista 5270, you might have realized that it failed to work after January 1, 2006. Microsoft released a patch but you had to be a member of Connect in order to get it. The patch has finally been posted for other people, who aren’t members (not posted by Microsoft of course).

Some people have claimed that it does not work, while others say that it does work. It could be possible that some people did not follow the directions correctly. Here is what Microsoft has posted for instructions (The download links are located after the instructions):
