Re: Vista is blocking a program that I want to run

Try this

Start | All Programs | Windows Defender | Tools | Software Explorer

It will probably come under the startup category and you will proabably see
it as disabled.

One thing i would advise is to check the software is compatable with Vista

Failing that let me know
