First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/
If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
It works for some programs, but not all.
This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

Windows Vista compatibility issue and "Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition"
Installed the game fine, but when I play the game, it appears a problem of compatibility window telling me to look for solutions on this site. I tried 'right' by clicking on the icon of the game and go to the properties and then the compatibility, but that did not solve my problem. Does anyone know how I can fix it, or is there a download or a patch that I need. Please let me know. Thank you.
If I'm looking in the right place, I also see a patch 1.68. You may need to install the patch 1.68 before installing the patch 1.69. All you can really do is try and see if it works. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful at this time.

Hello
The TCtrlIOHook.exe belongs to the TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility control.
All this FN keys needs to control the software and TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility is necessary if you want to use the function of the FN keys.(A) If you didn t find these utility for Vista on the Toshiba page then it seems that Toshiba don't provide this software for Vista for the M70 laptops.
(b) If you want to stop the message appearing at the beginning of the boot process, you must remove it from the OS or you will prevent loading software!
This can be done in the registry. You can remove entries from the RACE

You should ask that question to the Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 forum.
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Office/Forum/office_2010-Outlook?tab=unanswered
In my opinion it should not be a compatibility problem for Home and Student 2007 is not included in any case Outlook.
The last time that I have heard, it is a compatibility issue in previews of attachments between Outlook 2010 and Office 2007 applications.
In any case, experts in MS Office forums should know the answer.

Satellite Pro L10 and Vista compatibility
Hi all.
Being a 3rd year computer science student I feel like I should be able to answer this myself, but since this is a laptop and not a desktop computer, I'm stumped.
I'm looking to upgrade to Windows Vista when it launches and I ran the compatibility for her Wizard and its lifting to the top a major - the graphics card. Now, I know that it is not possible to switch from a graphics card on a computer laptop because its actually on the motherboard itself, but it says that my Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller has 64 MB of memory and requires 128 mb.
So here's my question - is - a can move the memory associated / assigned to this card?
In addition, he said that it must have the support of 32 bit / pixel which once again is not my card. An update of the driver would help or should I resign myself to the fact that Windows Vista won't be compatible with my laptop.
Bravo guys,.
Scott
Hello
The fact is that this card was delivered with a 64 MB shared memory graphics card.
This is a maximum value of the memory that the card can manage.
I wonder every day on the question about Windows Vista and compatibility issues. The fact is that Windows Vista is not official on the market.
I'm sure that Toshiba will support the Vista in the future, but right now, there is no drivers Toshiba for this OS. -
Cannot install Adobe Acrobat 5 because of Vista compatibility
I just replaced a XP Pro computer with a 32-bit Vista Business box. XP Pro had Acrobat 5 installed from the CD and more later put upgraded to Acrobat 7 via a download purchase. I have the serial number of the version 7 of the file, but the operation fails due to the absence of a software qualification (the previous version). While trying to install version 5, I get an error of this facility and Vista compatibility. I start here in case there is something with that Microsoft can help you, if not I will contact Adobe for help. Thanks, dave
PS. If it turns out that Acrobat 7 also has a compatibility issue in Vista, a possibility would be to downgrade to XP Pro.Are you referring to the Acrobat authoring application, Yes (not Adobe Reader)?
If so, I'm sorry to inform you that even Acrobat 7 don't is not supported by Adobe under Vista - only version 8.1 or higher:
Q. Adobe Acrobat 8 on Windows Vista support?
A. prior to shipping in November 2006, Adobe has tested Adobe Acrobat 8 software on
beta versions of Windows Vista. We are now actively testing Acrobat on the shipping
editions of Windows Vista. Visitors can install and run Acrobat 8 today with some
known issues. (FND out more on these issues, please visit www.adobe.com/go/support and)
Search on the keyword Vista in the Adobe knowledge base). In the first half of 2007, we
Expect to issue a free update to Acrobat 8 to support Windows Vista.
Acrobat 7.0 and earlier versions do not support Windows Vista. Adobe does not provide for
release updates to Acrobat 7.0 and earlier for Windows Vista compatibility.
(from http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/adobe_products_and_windows_vista.pdf )You will need to contact Adobe for assistance - this isn't a matter of MS (much less a problem of 'Vista'), it is rather a question of Adobe.

Windows 7 compatibility issues

driver blocked due to compatibility issues
original title: driver blocked due to compatibility problems... Please help
The program compatibility Assistant appears a window whenever I start up my cpu. It says driver blocked due to compatibility issues...
Driver: CD burning software
Publisher: Roxio, Inc.
Geographical area: not available
He did this for a long time. I don't remember exactly what it was I tried to install but once he failed and gave me this message I have remove programs and it took off... I also tried to disable the drivers, update drivers, uninstall and reinstall... I finally took both my dvd and CD - RW drive on the cpu and it still gives me this message... I just bought a new DVD player that is firewire and plugged... at least it works, but I still get the error message... How can I make it go away, I deleted everything and everything about Roxio from my cpu I can find...
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, try this program to search for and out of startup:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

I am trying to download Media Player 9 and will have compatibility issues
I have Windows Vista Home Premium i can't download Media Player 9 because of compatibility issues, I am tying to download movies from my local library and continue to receive error messages.
You cannot download Windows Media 9 on Vista because it already has Windows Media Player 10. Can't do.
What problems are you having with the downloaded movies? What are the EXACT error messages (Word for Word)? Which version of Vista you are using.

I can't install ActiveSync due to "compatibility issues". I try to sync my HP Ipaq and I'm stuck now
What to do next?
The successor of ActiveSync in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is Windows Mobile Device Center. Your iPaq must run a minimum of Windows Mobile 2003 or later.
If this option is not available for you, I suggest you put Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition (if you are running or the another edition) and download free Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode and synchronize your iPaq there.

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
I am sorry to say that Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is not compatible with the Windows 7 operating system from the link:

You can install the drivers in compatibility mode and verification.
Most programs written for Windows Vista also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try changing the compatibility of the program settings, either manually or by using the program compatibility problems.
