Windows Vista to Windows 7, it will help me run this program?

I have a windows Vista and I am trying to use a program (Pro tools SE, Pro tools MP-Powered) which requires that 'Windows 7' to run it, would buy the downloadable version of Windows 7 and to reformat my computer?

Hello

I found some information on one of these programs that suggest that you try to run in XP Compatibility Mode in Vista and the manufacturer of the program supported XP and Windows 7, but not Vista.

Seemed a strange scenario.

Have you asked in the Forums of Avid about this problem; They manufacturer Pro Tools SE, etc.?

    If I switch to windows 7, I'll beable to run a program 16-bit legacy that was designed for windows XP?

    There are a number of variables here.  First of all if you go to the 64 bit version of Windows 7, you will not be able to run 16-bit programs in normal mode.  However, if you go to the professional version of Windows 7, you can install the free XP Mode and run 16-bit programs under that.  XP mode runs as a task under Windows 7.  It works fine as long as you can live with the limited graphics.  I have 900 x 600 16-bit color at home.

    If you go with the 32-bit version of Windows, you might be able to run your 16-bit program in compatibility mode.  It depends of course is the compatibility with Windows 7.  Some work and some aren't.  The limitation with the 32-bit version is that it supports more than 4 GB of RAM.

    Good luck.
