Visit the Windows Vista Compatibility Center to determine whether a particular application or device is compatible. Most applications and devices will run successfully on a computer that is running Windows Vista. If you have concerns about a particular application or device, visit the Windows Vista Compatibility Center to see specific compatibility information about that product before upgrading.

Use compatibility mode in Vista which allows you run some older program in it....!

Go to Start Button & then Click on All Program
Right Click on the program for which you want to change the compatibility.
Click on Properties.
Now on the Properties Dailog Box click on the compatibility TAB.
Now see "Run this program in compatibility mode:" & click on the check box.
After that down the arrow & select the operating system that program is designed for.
Now Click OK.

Now the program might run properly. If that doesn't work for you the look the following link threads for the solution :
