• Fix Programe compatibility issues in Windows Vista

  This post contains steps to troubleshoot issues that occur when a program is installed, but the program will not run on Windows Vista.
  
  To troubleshoot program compatibility issues in Windows Vista, try Method 1. If Method 1 does not resolve the issue that you are experiencing, try to contact Windows vista support Certified Expert and try each successive method in order.
  
  Method 1: Visit the Windows Vista Compatibility Center
  Visit the Windows Vista Compatibility Center to perform the following tasks.
  
  

  •      Determine which software and devices are and are not compatible with Windows Vista.
  •      Locate links to drivers and upgrades that will make your computer compatible.
  •      Provide input to help us improve the upgrade experience.

  
  To get started, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility
  
  Method 2: Run the program in compatibility mode
  When you select the compatibility mode option, Windows Vista emulates the selected operating system when you run that particular program.
  To run the program in compatibility mode, follow these steps:
  
     1. Click Start
                , and then type the name of the program in the Start Search box.
     2. In the Programs list, right-click the program name, and then click Properties.
     3. On the Compatibility tab, click to select the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box.
     4. In the list, select an operating system, and then click OK.
  
  If the program still does not work correctly, go to the next method.
  
  Method 3: Run the program as an administrator
  To run the program as an administrator, follow these steps:
  
     1. Click Start
              , and then type the name of the program in the Start Search box.
     2. In the Programs list, right-click the program that you are troubleshooting, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
  
  If the program now runs correctly, the program requires administrative permissions to function. For more information about how to force a program to automatically run with administrative permissions, see the "Step 2: Run the program as an administrator" section of the following Advanced methods to troubleshoot a program that does not run as expected after it is installed on Windows Vista
