Most programs written for Windows XP also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run correctly, use the Program Compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility settings for the program. To change settings for a program manually, use the individual program's Compatibility tab.
If changing the settings does not fix the problem, go to the program manufacturer's website to see if there is an update for the program.
WarningDo not use the Program Compatibility Wizard on older antivirus programs, disk utilities, or other system programs because it might cause data loss or create a security risk.
Run the Program Compatibility Wizard
1. Open the Program Compatibility Wizard by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Use an older program with this version of Windows.
2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
If you cannot install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the wizard, browse to the program's setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

A lot of software is NOT compatible with Vista!
Including graphic and sound drivers.
Vista has better graphics, using directX 10, only there is NO graphic cards made for direct10, and there is NO software for direct10!
LOL, what a waste of time and money!
Keep checking the software sites for Vista up dates.

Try contacting the software providers.
Though they may just try to sell you updated products.

You should take your Vista disc and insert it into the round filing bin under garbage.
