Other than Jon's suggestion, I'm afraid that I have no bright ideas. It was specifically because I know that there are application compatibility issues with Vista, however, that when I bought a new Dell computer last month, I bought it with XP, not Vista. I think it's going to be a while yet before all software developers modify their software to run correctly on Vista. As I said recently in another thread, software written according to the "rules" works fine on Vista; the problem is that earlier versions of Windows allowed you to break many of those rules with impunity. Vista is much more "secure" and apps that try to do naughty things (like BD does) have problems.
