Hi guys.

Do you have some information with regard to where to go to if we encounter
some incompatibility issues with Vista (software & hardware)? Do we have a
link where we can check if the hardware or software is vista-ready?

If I encounter an incompatibility issue, would it be the software or
hardware that would be needing to adjust with Vista? Or we can have some sort
of a patch for Vista to make the software or hardware be compatible with the
Windows itself.

Many Thanks.

You can set a program so that it operates as if it were in an earlier
version of Windows .. and it sometimes works.
