John,

Autoroute 2005 is working fine for me with Vista Home Premium. With
older programs I've adopted the strategy of not installing them in the
Program Files folder. My suggestion is that you create a new folder, say
"Old Progs", and install older software in sub-folders of that folder.

Hope this approach works for you.
