Hi, I'm trying to get some Piano software running for my boy on his Vista 32
bit computer. It doesn't claim to be Vista compatibale (claims up to XP
compatability). Every time I start it I get the following error:
"Director Player has stopped working". Can anyone help? Thanks.
 
Thats because the software is not compatible with Windows Vista. Have you
checked the software developers website for information about Vista
compatibility, updates or new releases?

Dobry' den :)

Your program uses Macromedia's "Director Player" to display images on the
screen. Macromedia now belongs to Adobe, and the "Director Player" is now
labelled as "Shockwave Player". The first version of Shockwave Player to be
compatible with Vista is v 10.2.0.21, released in April 2007.

You can try downloading and installing the latest Shockwave player from
Adobe, and uninstalling the old Director version. But I'm not sure if your
Piano program will be able to use the more recent version of the player, it
might not recognise it. If not, you may need to contact the vendor of the
Piano software.

Hope it helps a bit.
