anything compatable

im not sure whether this topic has been posted before, but di you all know if dsomething does not install because vista is on your computer, you can right click on the setup file, click properties, click the 'compatability' tab, then click on run as if your were running XP; or something like that,
so that means you can run any peice of software on vista!!!

No, of course, it doesn't.
But you knew that, didn't you.

No it doesn't. It just means you can run software with relatively simple problems, such as version checking.

That doesn't necessarily work either. Adobe software, at least the stuff I am trying to install (Premiere) , refuses to let you install it on Vista. No matter what I try, including changing the compatibility mode on the setup.exe, the setup errors out saying it will only install on XP and above. (like that last part).
Obviously its a problem for Adobe to fix, but I would love to be able to fool it. I imagine it would be mostly functional if it would let me install.

Adobe said that the reason is due to the engeniering of Premiere and that Vista is on a differnt platform due to the rtendering. BLAH BLAH.....
No can do for the moment
