Hi, I had the same problem as Kossuranta. I had to get my computer wiped
a few months ago and had vista reinstalled. When I got it back I tried
to reinstall some of the stuff that I had had installed on it beforehand
but now It does not work. It is the install wizard that crashes when
initially loading. It does not happen with every program but most older
ones. I have checked online before and this is the first time I have
seen someone with the same problem as me.
Some of the programmes have no known problems with vista compatibility
I have tried installing changing the admin priveledges and by changing
compatibility mode but with no luck
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
George

Did they or you put the service packs 1 and 2 in for Vista? If that doesn't
work try installing them in Windows XP SP2 compatibility. I'm running a lot
of old apps with no problem. The only one that seems to fail for me is my
old Office 97. I now use Open Office Org 3.11.
