Did you try to install the software on the Vista machine? I've installed programs that were originally Win98 programs on my Vista machine with no problem. I believe that most of the problems related to Vista were hardware incompatibility problems.

Yeah, I tried to install my old version and get a message saying it is incompatible with Vista.

Try setting compatibility mode..

probbly only way is to test it. does wasta have an undo feature like xp? that would make it safer to try. you could also ask microshaft.

definitly email microshaft. ask them for a patch. prolly a waste, but you can vent on them.

A bunch of people looking at Vista eye-candy. Okay. So?

ask them how to spank vista's monkey. bet they not only wouldn't get it, but would be looking for the security guy.

Don,

hth,

Steven

Thanks, guys. I'll have to check out this "compatibility mode."

Isn't that pathetic? MS has to run commercials trying to sell people on their latest expensive 'oops!'. My son said that wait 'til those people actually try to get something done with Vista. They won't find it so neat then.

bring back 98.

Was the ad agency that thought those abominations up a Mac shop? Because the first one (shoe store) was simply stupid. The second one, at the family table, and the "because we are out of touch" was so damned accurate, I question whether Billy Balmer (aka "monkey boy" due to some dance(???) he did years ago to celebrate something) even previewed the second one, or M$ is simply too insular to get the joke. ON THEM!

winxp has better support than win2k, but is a pig, so I can understand not wanting winxp.

Vista, however, with its build in suck up to the enter- tainment industry (ie, DRM), is a monument to cluelessness.

Time will tell if M$ can get it right with the forthcoming "windoze 7". With billy gone, and balmer apparently muzzled, perhaps. But I won't count on it.

speaking of whatsis and whosis names, seen those retarded commercials for the adult chuckie cheese's? boris and buster or whatever? i've never seen anyone over 9 that liked cheesy sneazer's, so what kind of an adult would get excited about an "adult" one? if i did one, it would be sperate sex ones and catered to each gender. call one d-cup's and the other hard body's. bet i could make some money. get them chippendale guys for the hard body's and off you go.

EVERY proprietary music proggie and all the wierd sound files i use work with

1. when i "upgraded" to xp, i found myself building a new box to run it. my 98 box is still the primary music box. all of my fussy vinyl encode software works on it. about 50% do with xp. despite several eternities with tech support. which caused me to use full backup discs about 7 times. bah humbug on xp! and vista is not a vision i want.

never did try foxfire? it's really good for die hard 4.7 users. like i was.

I have no problem with that - I'm running it right now on #1. #2 has XP. My son can't see why I don't jump whole hog into the newer program. Um, Netscape won't run with it for one thing and I REALLY prefer using 4.7 for mail and the newsgroups.

XP pro works just fine on a true dual core processer based system. Both
