get drivers for PSP7 that will work on Vista??

I cant say,i have long upgraded to PSP X2 which is a much better
program. Why not just upgrade? i think the upgrade is around 50 bucks or
so,well worth the upgrade

I have yet to have a problem here with PSP7 with Vista Home Basic.
Works great.

Find the program shortcut in start menu or on desktop, right click on
this and choose properties, the compatibility tab should be 3rd from
left, select the mode you want from the drop down box. You may also want
to try "run as Administrator" near the bottom of the dialogue. To find
the original file (the .EXE) from the properties of the
shortcut, the secons tab is the "shortcut" tab on here should be an
"open File Location Button this will allow you to find the .exe

I have noticed that certain applications (E.G. Adobe Reader) do not
show a shortcut tab. in this case you can try the right click "run as
Administrator option and see if that improves things. it would then be a
case of manually finding the .EXE. to adjust it's properties. You may
need to take ownership of the EXE file to change it

Hope this helps


WOW! I must have a *******ized program because when I open "Properties" I
get 4 tabs, "General,, "Shortcut", "Security" and "Details". I have gone
through each and nowhere do I find "Compatibility"!!

Actually there are six tabs one of which is "Compatibilty". Not
all desktop icons have this tab, only shortcuts to .exe files.
If you are checking the properies of exe files in Windows
Explorer you will not see all six tabs, the file has to be sent to
the desktop as a shortcut. Right clicking the desktop icon of
an exe file is where you will see the "Compatibility" tab under
Properties.

-- so I am convinced it's a Vista problem!!! Not
interested in hearing any more about how wonderful Vista is!! If this were
the first problem I had with Vista, I might be a little more considerate,
but it's not - it;s just been one thing after another, and I'm sick of
it!!!!

BJ, if that's your attitude then for god's sake stop wasting everybody's
time and go back to XP.

PSP 7 was made YEARS before Vista was released. Although it works, it is
NOT GUARANTEED TO BE COMPATIBLE.

I might just point out that, according to Corel, PSP wasn't fully Vista
compatible until version X2.

I would try running in in XP compatibility mode. You might also want to put
it on the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) exclusion list, in case that's the
problem.

But stop blaming Vista because it doesn't support some ancient, incompatible
product.
