[TCML] Dumb Vista Question

[bartb]

Hi Aaron,

Thanks. Using 9.1 is a thought. I was installing the old 8.0 version and 
Vista just didn't like it. I am the administrator. I tried installing 
months ago, so it's been a little while. Lots of other programs I would 
like to run I can't. Some dos programs that require full screen simply 
won't run without installing XP video drivers (should they exist for 
your hardware). I even tried DOSBOX which did help a little, but then I 
ran into some path frustrations and gave up. Too much work. Vista has 
ran just fine other than what programs could and could not be installed 
(this to me is the biggest shortfall). Programs like Mediaplayer, 
Quicktime, etc.. all seem to do very well.

Take care,
Bart
