Many people have bought vista and are now disappointed that so many of their applications don't work on it. Then they begin flamming it because they lack the ability to make things work. Here is a few things you can do to make vista work for you.

Disable User Accounts:
1) Go to Control Panel
2) Click on user accounts
3) Click disable.
Why you should do this: This saves allot of time when your trying to open an application that has that "windows shield" in front of it. It also makes it so that you open everything as an administrator.

Update Vista:
1) Go to control panel.
2) Click on vista updates
3) Select the updates you want and click ok.
Why you should do this: Microsoft is constantly adding compatibility updates. Why not?

Disable Vista fire wall:
1) Go to Control Panel
2) Click on fire wall
3) Click on disable.
Why you should do it: Vista's fire wall is extremely aggressive. While it doesn't do any thing useful (Since there are almost no compatible viruses with vista) it really kills your compatibility and speed of your pc. If your afraid of viruses install Avast (Free software.)

Run XP application in compatibility mode:
1) Right click on the application.
2) Click on properties.
3) Click on compatibility
4) Select XP service pack two.
5) Click ok
Why you should do it: It's vista's built in compatibility generator. USE IT!

Check Google for fixes on compatibility issues
1) Go on google.
2) Type in "[Name Of Application] Vista Issues"

I hope this tutorial helps!

First of all. All applications have to go trough authorization checking (Including Fire Fox), you might not see them but that's how it works. Second as I said in my previous posts, Vista is at this point immune to 99.99% of viruses. Lastly, I won't write a tutorial about something, if I'm not 100% sure about it. If you can find PROOF that it is other wise then I will change my tutorial accordingly.

I respect your opnion but, I if you want me to change something or convince me of something please post supporting evidence next time.
