Although i have not had it installed for long i have (as i told them) I have had no problems with version 7 what so ever.
All the talk about vista not being compatible is putting people off i think.
I know that people said Microsoft ripped of Mac Os. Good for microsoft I say. They are learners as well.
I may well be back with my tail between my legs but so far..

Quicktime 7 is just fine in Vista, even the upgraded full version. Yea, I shelled out the $29.95 so I could watch Prison Break on the big screen over here in Europe.

As my main computer use is FSX I have not yet had the courage to upgrade .Microsoft as said we will not benifit with vista untill DirectX ten is patched to work with FSX.
But I think that this time next year all the troubles will be over.

#10 | Vista and Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3. For the record I use Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 and XP SP2.
FYI, on their alert page for general information they have posted the following:
"Important Update: Spy Sweeper® with AntiVirus is now compatible with Windows Vista
Webroot® Software Inc. has released Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus version 5.3, this new version has been optimized to improve performance and is compatible with Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows Vista™ (version 5.3 continues to support Windows 2000 and XP). To receive your FREE upgrade, click "Check for Updates" on the home screen of Spy Sweeper."
Having found a RK in SM7 recently, (I reverted to SM6), I ran 3 rootkit finders on to see if SS, uses RK's. Results were:
1) BD 10 reported no root kits
2) F-Secures BlackLight, reported no rootkits
3) RKU found things on BD 10 and ZA Pro with hooked and hidden processes plus a bunch of other entries which I can't decode, so I'll submit them to the official RKU forum for study. Since some of those MAY relate to SS.
What I would like to better understand at some point is there ever a valid technical reason for using RK's hooks, and / or hidden processes?
Does anybody know the answer to this?:-\

#11 | Adobe Elements 5 works fine BUT it needs a Vista patch from Adobe...apply that and its plain sailing.
Wish I could say the same about my HP Printer.. the Vista driver is quite basic and does not have some of the features I use. HP say it will be April before full featured Vista drivers are available, and there's no guarantee that there will be Vista drivers for older models.

#13 | I've wiki'd and googled and followed the links here but could not find anything regarding compatibility of Acid Pro 6 and Vista. I know Acid Pro 4 just refuses to work -well ok Vista refuses to let it work but I can still run it on my XP laptop, so I'm not entirely SOL and need to upgrade anyway, but if it's not compatible yet, I don't want to spend the $ on it right now. Acid forums didn't yield any positive hits either... | | Senior Member with 314 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Scotland Experience: beginner at most things |

#14 | Acid Pro Mmmm thats interesting. I was just thinking of migrating my Acid Pro 5 over to my Vista machine. I do not use it as much these days.
Does it install on your vista machine? If so have you tried to Run as Administrator?
May i ask what you mainly use Acid Pro for?
Regards.

#15 | Dyslexic guy walks into a bra . . .
Seriously though, a friend is asking me for a music proggy for her new Vista. I use iTunes (on XP) myself but I checked here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=792
and it looks as if it might be a no go for now.
Specifically this topic: iTunes 7.1 - Windows Vista
Anybody know one that works with Vista? I don't see one listed on that MS page.
Thanks.
