Vista SP1 Is Even Less Compatible

Posted by kdawson on from the preemptive-diasabling dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Microsoft is now saying that Vista SP1 disables some 3rd party applications. The KB article on SP1 incompatibility states: 'For reliability reasons, Microsoft blocks these programs from starting after you install Windows Vista SP1.' It does link to several vendor support pages with updates or workarounds. Unfortunately, at least one of the suggestions consists of merely disabling part of the program, which could leave you with half an anti-virus solution."

    The parent poster is assuming a level of knowledge of the visitors here such that no description or further info is necessary. Its a one-word reply and solution to a current software problem described in the article. All the information you need to know is in his post. Your comment, however is redundant.
