I don't know what Microsoft did for backwards compatibility when it
moved Win2K and XP, but you might be running into some limitation.
Your only hope would be to move to a new program, or set an older
computer aside with ME on it and use that just to run Organizer.

Vista did not have the support for what I needed when it first came
out and also Machines I had would not all support Vista. (I had
just built a new machine and ran Vista advisor and it told me I still
had a few things I had to upgrade.)
It was just not an Upgrade I felt I needed to make.
Vista suffers from poor marketing, and poor development from the MS side
(being released too soon) and from the developer side (not enough
drivers/software). Those problems were sufficiently gone by SP 1. It
always made me chuckle when I hear how poor Vista is and then learn it's

Notice I did not make any assertions about Vista (Not familiar enough
with it to do so.) I just said it was an upgrade I decided not to bite on.

Right, I understand this. I was just pointing out that MS did fix Vista at
no charge. The net result is the same either way: either you paid for Vista
and got the free update; or you pay for Win7 and get Vista, the free Vista
update, and all the new Win7 stuff.
