I've found the program compatibility wizard to be quite useless. It seems
that the problem is more with the older software of Macromedia Projector. I
think it was written for operating systems XP and older. Vista seems to spit
out Macromedia like it was garbage. Unless Adobe, or Microsoft, figures out
a patch, I think this problem is going to stay for a while. Just a heads up
from an unemployed computer tech.
