Shally, this is a copy of the reply I sent to you via email.
Unless the applications are specifically designed for Vista you are
going to have problems, especially if they are older versions. I
haven't tried Adobe Authorware or Ulead Photoimpact so I can really
comment on these. I know that Adobe Photoshop CS2 and the CS2 suite in
general works fine on Vista because I have the whole CS2 suite
running.
I notice from your newsgroup post that these applications have
installed, but will not open. You might try 'uninstalling' them and
then 're-installing' them, only this time install them in
'compatibility mode'. Locate the setup.exe file for each application,
right click on it and select Properties. In properties select the
compatibility tab and then click on the option to run the program in
compatibility mode. Select XP as the compatible system. Now install
the application and see if it works. Alternatively visit Adobe site
and ULead site to see if they have upgrades for windows Vista.
