Have you tried using Run as administrator to start the installation program? Have you tried the compatibility wizard? http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...15e641033.mspx -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ http://vistahelpca.blogspot.com/ |

Right-click on the setup.exePropertiesCompatibility Tab Install in XP SP2 Mode And have you contacted the Program's manufacturer re Vista patches? -- Mad Mike "lemuelt" wrote: Hi...
