    Program Compatibility Issue

    I bought this program only about a month ago and when I tried to install it
    on my new computer, which has Windows Vista Home Premium, it comes up with
    the message below. Does anone know if there is a way I can install this
    program.


    This program has known compatibility issues

    Check online to see if solutions are available from the Microsoft website.
    If solutions are found, Windows will automatically display a website that
    lists steps you can take.




    Program: Total 3D Home and Landscape Deluxe Suite
    Publisher: Individual Software, Inc
    Location: E:\Setup.exe

    Total 3D Home and Landscape Deluxe Suite is incompatible with this version
    of Windows. For more information, contact Individual Software, Inc

    Have you tried installing in XP compatibility mode? That may solve the
    problem.

    If Individual Software has not updated its product for Vista, the fact that
    you purchased it recently is immaterial.
    I'd suggest that you do what the message suggests. Contact Individual and
    explain the issue, then request a free upgrade to a Vista-compatible version
    based on your recent purchase.

    Open Windows Explorer, then click the Help Icon ("?") at the right end of
    the toolbar. In the search textbox of the help window, type "compatibility
    mode" (without the quotes).
    In the list of articles that appears, find "Make older programs run in this
    version of Windows" and click on that title. Follow the directions in the
    article.

    If that does not work for you, your only other option is to contact
    Individual Software.

    If you buy bad gas from a gas station, who do you go to? Ford or the gas
    station?

    MS doesn't have the resources nor time to support everyone elses product.
    Should they support my tiny little apps programmed for Windows 98? That'd
    take a load off my back!

    So, you believe that *every* OS developer is responsible for insuring the
    compatibility of *every* application developed for that OS when they release
    a new version?

    No, this is (potentially in the case of Individual Software, the jury's
    still out until Rebecca tries compatibility mode) the problem with
    application developers who choose not to test and update their products,
    even when given ample notice and access to the OS in plenty of time to test
    and update.

    Re: Program Compatibility Issue

    cool so microsoft are responsible for tech support for their own software
    then, as i have this issue with wmpnscfg.exe on my pc that causes it to hang
    for about ten minuets on start up then makes my system run unbelievably slow
    until i end the process via task manager. i know it is media player 11 and
    have selected not to share any folders and disabled it in msconfig but it
    still remains. i even tried to get rid of media player 11 to media player 10
    that worked fine until some dam auto update took over my system to improve
    it, but in add remove it fails to uninstall. i roll back to previous ver then
    reboot as told to by windows the i try to remove the windows media java
    runtime but it states that this is needed for a program (win media 11) i
    tried to get some help for this but as i have an oem ver of windows unless i
    pay £40 tech support is not avalible to me. so now i have installed microsoft
    into my microsoft wouldnt you expect some tech support???????????? !!!!
