Vista Compatibility FAQ

• Are your products compatible with Windows Vista?
• I still want to use older product versions under Vista. I'll just launch them in Windows XP compatibility mode and/or elevated privileges and I'll be fine, right?

Q. I still want to use older product versions under Vista. I'll just launch them in Windows XP compatibility mode and/or elevated privileges and I'll be fine, right?
A. Unfortunately no, especially if you plan to run CommView, CommView for WiFi, CommView Remote Agent, CommTraffic, or NetResident. DO NOT try to install and run these products under Vista until and unless you have the version that is explicitly marked as compatible with Vista. Aside from intermittent BSODs (Blue Screen of Death), you will experience all kinds of other problems, such as broken functionality, hanging process on exit, inability to capture packets, etc. You may try to install and run SmartWhois, CountryWhois, DigiSecret, and Essential NetTools. If you do, install and run them with elevated rights. They may or may not work, no guarantees. Better yet, use compatible versions.
