Hi

I am no expert - but I have a network of XP and Win2000. Here are some steps I when through -

I have a general user for all pcs such as "globaluser". On the Vista Home Prem I have a user called the same thing. I indicated in Vista that I want to be on a network and share.

initially I could not see any devices on my local network. I momentarily disabled my Norton, and suddenly everything - the other PCs - showed up. I connected to them.

Norton was re-enabled - after its time out and I can still access the other PCs. I have even shared a printer on the Xp and the W2K pc w vista. Sometimes I have to re-enter the userid "globaluser" and password to OPEN a connection to a PC, but then all is fine.

for what is worth.

Older versions of Steinberg Clean and Wavelab are not willing to run with vista, they don't start or they crash when trying to load a file.
But the "Diamond cut" applications (for cleaning old records) are so well programmed, that they run on Vista perfectly.

Another good tip is to run the program as administrator. Right click the .exe and run as administrator!

I thought it was useful enough to make a thread of its own. If you are having a problem with a piece of software working in Windows Vista, try the following before pulling your hair out, or throwing your computer against the wall.

1. Right-click on the program's .exe file and choose Properties
2. Click on the Compatibility tab.
3. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for" Windows XP
