It attempts to install directX 9, claiming that is more updated than the version running on the OS. Vista ships with DirectX 10. Will not install if you choose not to install the directX component. The product may work if the DirectX component is installed but can affect other parts of the system.

  • Microsoft Access 2003 (32-bit)
  • Microsoft Access 2007
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 x64 & x86 (needs SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed to run best in Vista). Note: SP2 has not been released yet, it's only beta and Microsoft recommends not to install it in production machines. The major issue with SQL 2005 is that it doesn't inherit credentials from Windows, as a result, any application attempting to access the db engine will have to run as administrator or the Authenticated users group will have to manually be added to to the SQL logins. Manager Studio requires administrator's privileges or to manually add user accounts to sysadmin group.

Web Servers

[edit]

Has problems, but they can be solved / minor unsolved

  • Some of these programs may not have been tested in Windows XP compatibility mode-try it.
[edit]

Academic

  • Maple 9 - Successfully installed using Windows 2000 compatibility mode. When selecting network install and choosing a location for user preferences try typing in the network path manually. Still need to test full functionally of software but so far it starts up.
  • Maple 10 - Will not install unless theme is set to "Windows Classic". Runs fine when installed.
[edit]

Admin

  • Advanced Security Level 5.3 -- Not all options work, must be run as administrator
  • EventLog Explorer 2.1 need beta build 2.1.335 to work - download patch in support forum
[edit]

Antivirus

  • Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic v7.03.00.15 -- update function must be manual started as Admin (C:/Program Files/AntiVit/preupd.exe)
[edit]

Audio

  • Winamp v5.32 (in x64: 5.1 Surround does not work, annoying Sonic Engine [PX.dll] message, DLL must be manually copied to progdir)
[edit]

  • BlueSoleil 2.3 VoIP Edition -- BSOD, Vista crashed at first start of program
[edit]

CD/DVD Authoring

  • Ahead Nero 6.6.1.4 (32-bit) (installs if you ignore Vista warnings but also causes Explorer crashes when viewing directories that have video files in them, as well as file copy/move operations - the Explorer crashes (COM Surrogate failures) can be corrected by making modifications to Nero specific merit values using DirectShow Filter Manager 0.5 (freeware) but the file copy/move operations cannot - surprisingly, a better solution is to install Nero inside a Windows XP virtual machine (ie. using VMWare Server) and let Nero burn discs from within the VM using the burner residing outside the VM in Vista - suprisingly, this works perfectly)
  • UltraCopy 9.5 Premium Edition -- During the files are saving to system, an error message "FM20.dll, DllRegistryServer unsuccessfull, code 0x8002801C, accessing OLE registry" is received. Click "Ignore". The setup finishes and program works perfectly.
[edit]

Compression

[edit]

Email

  • Last freeware version of Hotmail Popper
  • Current version of YPops. Has issues with Yahoo verification but can work as long as it's not left resident in the System Tray.
[edit]

  • COMODO Firewall Pro 2.4.5.111 BETA (32-bit) -- Seems to work fine despite warnings from Vista to the contrary during installation. Setup EXE file must be run in Windows XP compatibility mode.
[edit]

Games

  • Atari 80 Classic Games. Launcher and config screens have color (palette) distortion, but games run normally.
  • Albatross18: Realms of Pangya (no longer blacklisted as of 3.13c but still has issues. game is choppy and there is no audio from system during game playback)

  • Flyff v1.3 (32-bit) - You need to run as admin.

  • Maple Story (32-bit) - GameGuard Error 360: Right-click and choose Run As Administrator.
  • Microsoft Best of Entertainment Pack (32-bit) - installation will crash, but all files do install and work properly without any further problems
  • Max Payne v1.00 (This game sometimes cannot work/start the first level/open main menu under Windows XP and Vista. When Max Payne is loaded, the game crashes with an program error before main menu/before starting first level. But, this problem can be solved. The intro movie file of Max Payne " intro.mpg " is broken. Rename a .mpg file as " intro ", then copy it and overwrite with normal " intro.mpg ".
  • Myst I : The game runs, there are sound but you have only a black screen (on Windows XP either). You need to download and install Quick Time 6.5.2 (note : Quick Time 7 or Quick Time Alternative do not work)
  • NCSoft City of Heroes - game installs and updates correctly under Vista X64 with nVidia v97.34 drivers, but no cursor is displayed with the mouse
  • Sid Meier's Railroads! v1.1 - Game installs and runs but will frequently crash out to the desktop without warning. It is playable if you have patience with the crashes, and save often.
  • Syberia I & II DVD-ROM (edition collector) (32-bit). There are problems with starforce protection : Install the game as an administrator and contact support@starforce.com to get the DVD key (or use a no-dvd patch)
  • Need for Speed: Carbon (With 98/ME Compatibility mode, must change compatibility for 2 files, NFSC.exe and Need for Speed Carbon_code.exe. Still crashes now and then for some people, EA yet to release a working patch for Vista, otherwise you can delete the MOVIES folder to run it without problems & without movies :D)
  • SimCity 4 w/ expansion pack - some users reported this not working at all. (Note: A graphics card with pixel shader 2.0 and 64MB or higher memory may be necessary for this to function.)

[edit]

  • Corel X3 -- Can be installed as anyone, must be activated (first run) as administrator
  • Jasc Paint Shop Pro 6.02 -- Installs without issue; however, upon starting, an error message stating that Windows "could not write to the registry" appears twice, and then the program runs normally.
[edit]

Network, web servers, etc

[edit]

Other

  • Foxit PDF Reader v2.0 (32/64 bit) - printing under 64-bit causes immediate crash & You need to run as admin to run updates. Associate Foxit with PDF files option under Help doesn't make the association.
  • MediaMan XL (32-bit) : go to the install directory and assign "run as admin" for the two .exe files. (MediManXL.exe & SreamloadService.exe)
[edit]

PDA & GPS

  • Sunrise Needs latest Java and MSVCR71.DLL.
[edit]

Video Editing

  • Subtitle Workshop v2.51 - The program exiting on video loading (some versions of directvobsub filter have compatibility issues, newest at least should work with subtitle workshop)
[edit]

Viewers

  • ACD See 9 - program launches correctly, but can't recognize new user document folders structure.

Path "C:\Users\Username\Pictures" is not recognized and nothing is shown. On the other hands, folder "C:\Documents and Settings" is still listed in folders view although is not present in Vista anymore. Pictures in another folders are shown correctly, so seems there is some hard link for user folder that can't be addressed properly.

[edit]

Web Servers

  • Apache Tomcat 6.0
[edit]

Heavy Problems, currently

NOTE: If a product you use is listed below, check with the software vendor for a newer version. In many cases, vendors will provide free update patches or low-cost upgrade options to a newer version. You may also want to look in the Works section above as a newer, working version may already be available. If you have any 16-bit DOS or 16-bit Windows applications, they will probably never work.

[edit]

[edit]

Audio

  • Total Recorder Works with two small problems: 1. Help doesn't work, and 2. Program doesn't work. See link.
  • MTV Music Generator. Dumps the program any time you try to do anything "memory-intensive," like load saved files or generate video.
  • Philips Sound Agent 2 - Can't install, driver of device isn't compatible.
  • Steinberg Cobase SX3 and Nuendo 3 - after installing and rebooting the system does not let to use the phantom USB drive, whitch causes the total fall of the program start

  • Paragon Partition Manager 7.0 (32-bit) -- installs, but not compatible

  • Agnitum Outpost 4.0 (971.584.079) - 32/64 bit

  • Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall - 4.3.268
  • WatchGuard System Monitor 8.3 (Policy Manager won't start because installer can't create folders under Documents and Settings, which are required for firewall config files - as a work around, install Windows XP in a virtual machine in Vista and run WSM inside that to give yourself the same effect)

Mobile / Cell Phone / Handi

  • Sony Ericsson PC Suite - better use MyPhoneExplorer from www.fjsoft.at/en/

  • Motorola Q from Verizon Wireless with WMDC does not work, is not supported by Verizon either.
  • TI InterActive! Does not install.
[edit]

Remote Control

  • RealVNC 4.2.8 Enterprise Edition (doesn't accept connections - some say you can circumvent these problems by not installing it as a service, then configuring it as admin and running user-mode as admin, which unfortunately means no service versions - also, you have to make exceptions for vnc in the firewall and windows defender - that said, results are sporadic at best)
[edit]

System Applications

  • BestCrypt v7.20.2 - Does not work, update will be available soon
  • DriveCrypt Standard v4.40 - Does not work, update will be available soon
  • Intel(R) Processor ID Utility - an error message that tells "this program doesn't support Vista" is received at the beginning of setup.

But, SM 7.1 has not been produced yet. -- this error message can be fixed by selecting "Windows XP Service Pack 2" at compability list of SM's main setup file. but before the main setup starts, an error message "Failure Code: 323-A. An unexcepted error was encountered while initializing SM PRO." appears. Iolo's website said once Windows Vista is released to the public then the products will update to Vista compatible products.

Voice Recognition

Video

  • Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 After installation, it's nowhere. Infact, not installed. But during installation, everything's fine... strange.
  • Adobe Premiere 7.0
  • Pinnacle Studio 10 - Pinnacle will upgrade it for Vista in March 2007
  • Pinnacle Studio 9.4 - Installs but the program freezes. Windows permanently blocks a service that attempts to access a wrong memory area, keeps popping up continously.

Uninstaller does not work from Control Panel (get unrecognized OS message) and the only way to uninstall it is running it from the CD in XP compatibility mode.

  • ULead Media Studio Pro 7.0 (installs, but Video Editor (the core application) crashes on startup)
