Here’s a nice neat trick to get Windows XP application to work in VISTA.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]"$path"="WINXPSP2"

Replace $path with the absolute path to your program;

i.e.

c:\\program files\\myapp\\myapp.exe

Make sure you add double back slashes.
