We use Visual C++ 6.0, but this cannot run on Vista.. Well it can but when we installed SP5 it couldn´t anymore, and I haven´t got the time to dig into this right now.So I have reverted to good old XP, pending we upgrade our projects to VC8

I ran the Vista "Upgrade Advisor" just out of curiosity, which had adverse results for the cat.After freezing my 1 GB laptop screen for 45 minutes, I was allowed to "Start Scan" at which point I got a blue screen of death. I later needed to repair my disk, and remove the advisor.I took this as advice from Microsoft that my PC was not Vista-ready.

I think it may be some sort of standard decay, signaling a decade of chaos.
