NEED HELP. VISTA INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUES.

Hi guys.

Do you have some information with regard to where to go to if we encounter
some incompatibility issues with Vista (software & hardware)? Do we have a
link where we can check if the hardware or software is vista-ready?

If I encounter an incompatibility issue, would it be the software or
hardware that would be needing to adjust with Vista? Or we can have some sort
of a patch for Vista to make the software or hardware be compatible with the
Windows itself.

Many Thanks.

You can set a program so that it operates as if it were in an earlier
version of Windows .. and it sometimes works.

Hi Jhong

Normally, you would go to the device's or program's website to see wha
it is compatible with if you do not have a retail package to look at.
Sometimes the makers of these items will release a update or patch t
make them compatible

If it is a program that is not compatible with Vista, you might tr
using Compatibility Mode for it. Never do it for a utility progra
though. You can see how to use compatibility mode at this link
