Thank You! I haven't read each page, yet, but I did do a quick glance at each. The ones about MS and "misleading," I'm sure are not applicable to what I'm "experiencing." I wasn't mislead; I had my doubts prior to when the computer was bought for me - and I think the suits are more central to people who have been trying to "upgrade" to VISTA.

This is the track, however, I was asking about . All the millions of people who have had no probs. whatsoever running software applications purchased - until, getting a new 'puter and the only option offered is: VISTA. Why VISTA includes the compatability mode options? Who knows. There is, in actuality, no option but to run the programs in VISTA mode, that is, if the programs will even install.


I started with the lower-level or less costly program installation, first. I'm afraid to see what may happen when I start with the more costly ones, such as Dreamweaver. I am so p'd right now (and given other expenses), I'm purposely waiting to even attempt installing it.
