Can you explain what's problem with Internet Explorer (IE) running under Vista? IE is part of the Vista operating system, and works as soon as Vista is installed.

Regarding Skype, I don't use it, thus can offer any help.

Skype wins, as a means of communication, hands down, but Vista I'm told has a few bugs to be sorted....you can download XP in addition, though..........hug

Hardly anything at all is compatible with Vista at the moment, if you re install internet explorer you shouldn't have any other problems.............I had a large problem with skype though, interfering with the Messenger, Messenger wouldn't open with the skype running, no plug in etc available for skype.
I've deleted skype, prefer to use Messenger anywayhandshake

Skype will install and run under Vista. You'll be able to call others, and
even the beta video feature will work.

However, if anyone tries to call your computer, they will receive a
"rejection" message saying that you only accept calls from people in your
contact list. This will happen even if the caller is in your contact list,
or you have configured Skype to accept calls from all callers.

The reason for this is the Windows Firewall. For some reason, it will allow
outbound internet access by Skype, but it blocks in-bound calls. To correct
this, open Windows Firewall in the Control Panel, select "Allow a program
through the firewall," and manually check Skype.

After this, Skype will function normally.


I found this on a message board.

I have the Vista Premium. It's a little more advance than the regular Vista. Only because it has more junk in it. I can’t even send a regular word document as an attachment to yahoo or AOL mail. For some reason, there document generator is not familiar with the Vista word processor format.

Oh and you can forget about a few Java applications. It sends me to a page letting me know that Windows will no longer support Java due to a court ruling.

been using Vista for months, once things are set up it's a beauty to work with, you coul also try contacting skype again and seeing if they have additional plug ins available, when I asked I was told there would be some ready in the following weeks, I don't use the windows firewall but use Norton instead, mind you mines a domestic set up and not for professional purposes.
Lovely pix by the waylaugh kiss hug

Hi Rickster,

I'm on Vista Ultimate and I'm not encountering any problems with Java. Did you download the application from ?

It installs and runs fine on both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Btw, regarding your word documents, save them with the .doc extension and not the .docx one. From the drop down in Save As window, select an older version of Word.

Excuse me for not giving you much more details, but I don't use MS Office 2007.
