VS8 and Vista

Hi Ken et al

Tried the workaround that involved running VS8 in XP compatibility mode. Unfortunately still get the same message about unable to capture etc.

Could it be that I now have to dwonload a patch that makes VS8 compatible with XP?

Thanks for your help.

Tony

Have you installed any of the patches for VS8? If not you do need to do that. http://www.ulead.com/tech/phasedout.htm

Hi

Do I need all of em? (aside from the one for SE and bundled versions only?) Its just that the updates listed for VS8 don't seem to be Windows version specific.

I used to have ME before the new PC with Vista and seemed to survive without these patches.

Thanks for your help

VS 12 should be out any day now, I would just wait then upgrade.

Video Studio 8 isn't compatible with Vista. The only old XP programs that had patches for Vista were Video Studio 10 and Movie Factory 5.

The most effective XP compatibility mode with a Vista machine is to
