Hi Tom,

I suggest seeing if your programs will work in Vista's program compatibility
mode. You can learn more about this feature in the following Windows Help
topics:

and also

If this option doesn't work for you, then you might consider running a
multiboot system. You can learn about how to do this by reading the
following Help topic:

And if you just end up wanting to remove Vista from your multiboot system,
then you can learn how to do that in this Help topic:

I hope this helps you with your problem.
