trying instal program in "vista"

[honvetops]

trying to install microcrap streets & trips 2007 in friends new gateway centrino 1.86 Ghz  laptop.  This OS  keeps denying me with its DEP  program.....

I went into control panel,  installing,  advance settings  <<  and I "added" the install/setup  feature on this software      trying to tell   DEP  to allow it,  it  won't-  it keeps  denying the program from installing 

this is  Windows  Vista  and I am  trying to install  Windows Trips &  Streets !

this is a brand new laptop,  brand new purchased  CD     

ps....  it has  McAfee    and that  Big Fix  junk  also..............


what am I doing  wrong  ?   thanks ~ much

Make a shotcut to the installer on your desktop, then right click on it and click Properties, then click the tab that says "Compatibility" and select Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Once the program is installed, do the same thing with the icon to Streets and Trips if it wont work in Vista.

This may fix the issue.

[honvetops]

Yeah,  I saw that option ("Compatibility" and select Windows XP Service Pack 2)   it didn't work for me.....    Thanks  though

[ It's  DEP   and he only has  Vista  Home Basic  right now (if that makes any difference....)   A lady I work with says her  Ultimate works fine and she had no problems like I am,  with hers at home.....

On a side note*  Maybe  Gates has it easier for you if you spend mo  money!!  lol

[honvetops]

Well,
I have disabled the  DEP  procedure at Least  6 times since yesterday.
I added*  to the allow programs to run list  (streets & trips) setup-intall
about 4 times..........since yesterday

this morning,  I turned off every security feature on this vista home premium...
firewall, I monitor security-not windows, viruses etc....
I completely unistalled the pre-loaded McCafee antivirus,  & restarted maybe 4 times.  It finally worked*.
I guess disabling all the security stuff helped...............?

ThANKS above for the ideas & help.............
