Vista just got a little easier to live with

We have been trying to get an important legacy program (Symantec Form Flow)
to install and run on Vista since we got this new Machine.

Not long ago Andre Da Costa suggested to another user that was having
problems with something, not sure what, but Andre suggested to update Vista
with the following update:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/0...rmance-update/

Thanks Andre.

We just installed the above update and low & behold, Symantec FormFlow
installed, and it runs. This is super.

So, if you have been trying to install older programs that Vista didn't
like, install the above update and give em' another try.

Good luck.

Mike

I thought that was rolled into the normal update patches ages ago? It
should have already been on your machine.

I'm haven't really been an "Auto Update" fan in the past. However, maybe now
I might be.
