VS 10 was never meant for anything beyond XP - though a special patch was issued to get it to work with Vista. That said if i do have to upgrade my software, what am I best to go for? I would rather not have to buy new software since i am concerned my capturing hardware may not work with it. I was wondering if anyone can help me get my software working properly on SP3 (or even Win Vista/7). There was no option for XP SP2 and 98 did not work, but on trying Windows NT 4.0 (SP 5), the software seems to work albeit slowly. I then looked into windows compatibility settings, hoping perhaps the software might work on an earlier version of windows. I tried updates for other versions with the same result. The update for the version i have (or thought i had) would not recognise the software i have installed. After several attempts to get it to work including reinstalling the software i looked into getting an update or patch from the support website.

The software now crashes as soon as it is opened. I then went back to using it on an XP desktop which had recently been upgraded to SP3 (had run the software on SP2 previously).

Firstly it suddenly stopped working on the Vista machine, which i put down to some compatibility issue with Vista/7. Recently though I have been experiencing operational problems with the software. I have been running it fine for ages on 2 XP machines and even a Vista laptop for a while and been getting pretty good results. This was supplied with a video capture device (EzCAP USB 2.0 Video Grabber) about 3 years ago. I have a copy of Ulead Video Studio SE DVD (i think it is version 10 but i am not sure -cant seem to find out for sure).
