Windows Vista is turning my hair into grey.
The new pc with Vista, now demands that a LOT of the old programs
neeeds the CD in the -drive ongoing to be executed,
even though they were meant to be installed and executed from the
hardrive only,
once installated.
For instance Redshift 3, which refuses to run without the CD.
(Works fine on our old XP machine)
Copying all the files to the HDD on the new PC and executing from there
doesn´t help.

Any suggestions ?

PS. Keep your XP operating system.
Vista is.....(censored)

Hi,

Create an image of the CD and mount it using "Daemon tools." I use an
old version (V2.47 freeware) of this program to mount images on Windows
2000. This way you never need to use the old CDs. It works works fine
for Redshift 3 and many other CDs. For more info please check out the
newsgroup "alt.comp.freeware" where you will get lots of help.
