I have yet to find a 32bit xp app that wont work on 32bit vista. Some take a little bit of effort, but nearly everything will run.
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/bf416877-c83f-4476-a3da-8ec98dcf5f101033.mspx is a good start, sometimes it's as easy as simply running the install as an admin. Most likely sysinternals processmonitor will be the most useful tool for tracking this stuff down. Remember that Vista is only blocking app access to a couple places, they want you not to modify C:,C:\windows, and c:\program files. You may need to add a couple permissions here and there, or change a temp/settings file location, but if you need the app, its worth the time. -troy -----Original Message----- From: Phillip Partipilo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 10:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Good text editor Don't run Vista, so I dont know. It doesnt look like the type of application that does any kind of weird low-level or undocumented things that might cause it to break, but, again, I dont run Vista nor does the company (and likely never will).

Last I checked it didn't work with Vista. Do you have it working on Vista?
