There are going to be a whole lot of complainers out there about the new Windows Vista software. How do we know? Because upon the release of each of Microsoft's last Windows platforms, there was a 'ton of griping'. Yes, it will take us some time to iron out all of the compatibility problems, but the new system will be better than the older platforms! In short, we will work with you to get any program that you've purchased from us to work with the new Vista Windows system! Email us at support@decsoftware.com if you have any questions. |

* Note to system administrators - this is probably the option you will exercise when installing the software for a limited user. 1. Install the software for your user (as an administrator). 2. Log in as the limited user. 3. Then use the Compatibility tab so that the user is using the program in Windows XP mode. |
