This may already have been suggested, but Vista has a "Compatibility Mode", whereby you can trick the software into thinking it's running in a different environment (such as Windows XP). You just need to find the application's installation directory (usually /Program Files/<software company name>/<application>) then find the .EXE file, right-click on the .EXE and find the Compatibility tab. Try setting it to XP SP2.

I purchased an E-mu USB 0404 to interface the laptop with my hardware, and it came with a nice bundle of software that included a CD entitled 'Proteus VX Software/Manual Installation CD-Rom.' The first time I tried to install it, nothing happened... the second time, as far as I can tell, it installed properly, but nothing happens when I try to launch it. I looked around the web to see if there were any issues with Vista, and the reaction was about 50/50 as to if it would work or not... anybody here have any ideas on getting it to work with Vista? Looks like there should be a lot of good stuff on that disc, and I'd love to use it. > > Thanks! > Andrew > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get more out of the Web.
