Programs and Applications that Don’t Run and Don’t Work in Windows Vista SP1

More than one year after Windows Vista been officially launched and released, everybody including me is probably assuming that most of the program incompatibility issues have been addressed and solved. And any issues or problems should be addressed by the first service pack for Vista – SP1. Alas, installing Vista SP1 is now reported to be able to cause some programs to stop working, no longer runs and loss of functionality.

Microsoft publishes a whole (but guaranteed to be not yet comprehensive) list of programs that have been reported to experience a loss of functionality when they are installed on a Windows Vista SP1-based computer in KB935796 knowledge based article. And users affected are requested to visit manufacturers’ websites or contact the developers for solutions and workarounds. Luckily, newer supported versions of software is available for most of the apps listed.

Here’s the list of software programs that have problems on Windows Vista SP1.

    Trend Micro Internet Security (pro) 2008 is not blocked from starting with Vista SP1. It takes some time to load, but I have the same issue on Windows XP-SP2.

    I hope you can correct this :-)
