Thanks Graham for your assistance.

I see that Lars answered your question in the Hiarcs forum.

This isn't one of the programs you were asking about but the experience might be useful. I run Chess Assistant 7.1 on Vista 64 bit. Firstly 32 bit apps just run as 32 bit apps - just like Windows 95 used to run 16 bit Windows 3.x applications.

You might need to set compatibility mode on the application - I did with Chess Assistant to get it to install. Once thing Vista will do if you fail to install is prompt if you would like to run in compatibility mode.

But there was one more thing that was needed - I need to run it as administrator (unlike XP, Vista does not normally run programs as administrator even if you have that privilege). So I changed the link to configure it and, except for an annoying UAC popup each time I run, it runs fine.

Hopefully you won't run into any of that!

Andy.

I hope not?!

Thanks for the heads up!
