XP program crashes on startup on Vista

[swezeyt]

I am a software developer with my own software product.

The program works perfectly on Windows XP but I am told it crashes
immediately when run on Vista.

Unfortunately, I don't have Vista so I can't debug this.

Could someone check this out for me and tell me what is happening with it?

A version of the program is online on my web site at:
http://www.winternet.com/~swezeyt/dsp.htm

Specifically on sub-page:
http://www.winternet.com/~swezeyt/dsp/dspDemo/dspdownload2.htm

The program evidently doesn't even start without crashing.

I compiled it using MSVC++ 6.0 on Windows XP on which it works fine.

Please respond to this group or email me directly if you prefer at
swezeyt(at)winternet.com (replace (at) with @).

Thanks a lot in advance,

Then GET Vista.

Are you willing to pay for this?

Vista and XP are two different platforms even though they are NT based
O/S(s).

You need to get a Vista machine and make sure the solution runs on
Vista. You may have to make some code adjustments to make it work on Vista.

It could be that the program needs to run with escalated privileges,
because UAC is enabled on the machine, it's not Vista compliant to begin
with, and it's just flat-out blowing-up because the program is not
running with the proper privileges.
