If you receive a warning on your software installtion when attempting to install the sound conversion utilities, it is nothing to be concerned about, this is a commonn message and can appear with any installation of software on later operating systems.

Microsoft never published a broad compatibility list for Vista, which has left millions of users guessing whether their software would work or not. Unfortunatley UltraDisk user software cd falls into that category (for now). However, when you first attempt to install any application, Vista or XP may pop up an ominous warning that the program you're installing is not compatible with the OS. Just install it anyway, despite Microsoft's warning to the contrary. It will run fine, there is nothing to be concerned about.

But even if the app won't run after installation, you still have another option for making it work: That's because Vista includes a system called Compatibility Mode, which lets Vista emulate an older Windows OS, all the way back to Windows 95. (XP actually has this feature, too, but very few people have ever had to use it.) If you install an app and it won't run, just right-click it, select Properties, and click the Compatibility tab. Check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select another OS (typically Windows XP SP2) from the drop-down box.
