Solve : Updating Vista Home Version? |
|
Answer» I have a desktop running Win XP Basic and a new laptop running Vista Home. I do not have the laptop connected to the internet (and don't intend to) I want to move one of my older graphic programs over to Vista, but Vista cannot run it and I am told I need to download a file of some KIND to correct that in Vista. I do know others who have moved this older program to Vista with no problems at all, so I'm not really sure why it won't work for me. What program is it? Most programs can't be MOVED, they have to be reinstalled. Poor choice of words on my part...I am trying to install on the laptop from the original installation cd. I was trying to ask if I could download the "fix" (if there is one) to the desktop and then take the file to the laptop VIA cd. The strange thing about it is, I also have an older VERSION of PSP and it will install on vista perfectly........but I would prefer to run the more current version. The graphic program is PSP ver. 9. Thanks for any help you can give or suggest.PSP? Photoshop?Sorry PSP stands for Paintshop Pro which is now owned by Corel Draw.What happens when you try to install it? Any error messages?I agree with Broni here...you should just try installing in Vista...if there is a patch it can be transfereed from one machine to the laptop via CD or flash drive or whatever... Interesting Note # 1 This List which is pretty comprehensive on software that won't run on Vista and/or has issues does NOT list PSP 9.0 as one of them...It is on "The List" - It is listed as Jasc Paint Shop Pro. The listing states "(Doesn't run with Aero - Reverts to Windows Basic color scheme) I don't know what Aero is. When I installed the program on Vista, it did say something about reverting back to Windows Basic color scheme. All the files were listed in the windows explorer and the icon was set onto the desktop, but when I tried to open the program I got a message that said something to the effect that Vista could not open it. Try this... Find program's .exe file, right click on it, click Properties, then Compatibility tab, and put checkmark in Run this program in compatibility mode for (Windows XP). Click OK. Double click on .exe file, and see, if it'll open.I forgot about Jasc and went straight for a "P".......... Quote from: Broni on May 09, 2008, 10:27:01 PM Try this... Thank you ....... again I will install the program again and give your suggestion above a shot. Will LET you know it works for me. |
