aquarium and natural desktop

They don't work with vista

July 2, 2008 7:09 AM from

can someone please tell me why i spent money for applications that only work 1/213 tries on the vista platform? Am I doing something wrong here or are they just not designed for vista? I'm running Vista Home Premium. the very first time i loaded the app, it worked, then i unloaded to try natural desktop and poof! neither of them work. and i rather like the fish....

Under the description of the software it states that neither of these products are Vista ready at this time.

You can find the listing for Aquarium here: https://www.stardock.com/products/aquarium/

Natural Desktop here: https://www.stardock.com/products/Natural/

Sorry for the trouble but neither of these products will work consistently on Vista. What you can try is right clicking on the .exe of the program, then properties, then the compatibility tab and run it in XP mode. This could improve things.
