The specific program is symantec antivirus, corporate edition.
I have no experience using vista, and I was curious if it is possible to install programs written for XP onto VISTA.
I've successfully installed programs designed for win 95/98/ME onto XP, but I don't know if I can do it for vista.
Does anyone know? Please don't guess an answer, only answer if you know for SURE or you have a reputable source to back it up... thanks.

I even have run some video games on Vista (international of Warcraft, The Sims 2, and nil.5 life 2 are the main significant ones). the standard subject concerns I even have discovered with the courses so a techniques are: one million) demands a lot greater end hardware (particularly memory) than my XP device to run the utility. 2) utility (video games and corporation purposes) traditionally have been written with the thought the person could be an administrator on the device. XP purchasers merely set themselves up as directors (a foul thought) to handle this. Vista purchasers will see the person get admission to Controls (UAC) every time a technique demands further rights (a much better answer than XP, yet nonetheless particularly stressful). i've got not encountered any purposes that may not run on Vista out of the sequence I even have, yet what I even have seen in particularly some boards has a tendency to show drivers extra advantageous than purposes. the place I now and back observed notes on the subject count number of utility, it tended to be undemanding "not qualified to run on Vista" form warnings (i.e. they have not thoroughly examined on it yet). the main significant subject I nonetheless have with Vista is overall performance. luckily installation 2+GB of RAM isn't outrageously costly and something of the hardware fee has come down too. ** Edit ** Oh, one non-interest suitable section that i spotted subject concerns is with video driving force and video administration utility. because of the transformations to the Vista window framework, multi-exhibit constructive aspects that labored in XP at the instant are no further supported in Vista, a minimum of for the nVidia utility some weeks in the past. I had appeared to span a distant laptop to my XP device at artwork in the time of distinctive reflects and the nVidia internet site indexed a function loss on the subject count number of distinctive reflects and the hot Vista windowing framework (primarly because it pertains to WDDM).

Like any new OS, what will work and what won't will be totally hit and miss. I have many games and programs that work on vista and I also have a few that won't work. There is no rhyme or reason to it, you just have to try it and see.

No, in order to use SAV on Vista, you'll need the 10.2 version. (email me if you'd need a licensed copy, we'll work something out -- turrauko@yahoo.com).
