Why softwares aren't working?

I had this problem since I upgraded to Vista. All softwares I used before in Windows XP worked without any problem, but most of them now support Vista and they are giving me tons of problems everyday.
What is this happening?

Software makers have got to rewrite their code to make it work with Vista. Keep checking the maker of the software websites for Vista updates.

Hi Softix,

You might try using XP SP2 Compatibility Mode on the program to see if will run or install better with it.
