The latest I have noticed is that Windows Vista "Actively Kills"
Applications that are not on M$ authorized list of partner applications.
For this reason , Starting tomorrow I will be rolling back to Windows XP
pro SP2.
It (VISTA) is doing this against:
RealPlayer
Rhapsody
News Rover
Archivers, Splitters, Publishers
Does this seem that Microsoft is on the warpath against all 3rd party
software? YES
Isay to everyone - DUMP M$ OS ASAP!!!

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed which
describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??
It is just that apps that are not up to par are not working correctly. It is
up to the manufacturers of these apps to keep up with the current operating
system technology, or be left behind.

Have you bothered going to the manufacturers of each of these
applications to see if they've provided Vista-compatible versions of these
applications? Don't blame Microsoft because other software manufacturers
are glacially slow to adapt; after all, Vista's development was delayed so
often that no other software manufacturer has any reasonable excuse for not
having Vista-compatible versions ready the day Vista was finally released.

Forgot to ask: What happens when you try to run these incompatible
applications in "WinXP-compatibility" mode? Did you even try?
I love RealPlayer. I love Rhapsody. Microsoft has nothing against those
companies (coopetition is the way the software world generally works best).
RealNetworks is about ten miles away from where I live. They've got great
people who work there, some of whom are friends of mine.
If you are having problems with a specific application, you should be
specific about what's failing for you. Software is generally deterministic:
if you can describe the symptoms adequately (and that is always the great
challenge!) it's usually possible to make educated guesses as to what's
going on on even remote systems that you don't have access to. It's
certainly difficult - having direct system access is ideal - but -- the more
pertinent data better provided, the better responses you can get.
Bruce's comment about running in Compatibility Mode for those applications
is a pretty sound one - you may also be interested in turning off Data
Execution Prevention (DEP), which would allow an application to use memory
badly but may get those specific applications running. If that *does* help,
you really should contact the vendor for an update to their software. DEP
is there to stop bad things from happening to your system.

How does one run an app in "WinXP-compatibility" mode?

Right click the Executable and select properties, if it can be run in
compatablity mode there will be a compatablity tab.

Want to waste your breath?
Join my Plonk club and hang out with other memebers like:
I'm running News Rover version 11.3 on Vista Home Premium just fine. Didn't
even have to check compatibility mode. I do, however, install all my aps as
Administrator. Maybe that was your problem.
