bullguard not compatible with vista sp1

i am using vista home premium on a AMD DUAL CORE +5000 64live and "BULLGUARD
INTERNET SECURITY" came with my software package and i have found that it is
not compatible with VISTA and the update to service pack 1 in vista ,once
sp1 is downloaded and additional updates with bullguard my vista becomes
unresponsive it will hang and freeze the whole system becomes in a way
"stupid". even system restore does not solve the issue programs will become
unresponsive and eventually i get a white haze on the whole screen .after
exstensive reboots and system restiores as well as uninstalled programs i
have found the only solution was to remove bullguard internet security
package once done my pc ran like a champ .If you are haveing such a problem i
highly suggest removeing the bullguard but to do so u must remove it in
safe mode or bullguard will think it is being attacked by a virus and wont
allow u to remove it .other noticeable problems b4 sp1 updates was IE7
shutdowns or extreme slow response to opening programs such as IE7 . i hope
this post helps anyone who may have this problem and save them many hours of
headachs ...this is in no way a attack on bullguard im sure it is a good
program and may work well for other vista users as well as xp users this is
only a solution to a problem i have solved on my pc.

Hi j-026,

thanks for your report!

First off, we don't have a known general compatibility issue between
BullGuard and Vista SP1.

However, we find your report very interesting and would like to dig
deeper into it. It certainly sounds like there's an issue somewhere -
perhaps there's a hardware component causing an incompatibility with
BullGuard, or another piece of software that makes BullGuard act up.

I encourage you to contact our Head of Quality Assurance, Remus
Constantin, to look deeper into the potential issue. You can reach him
at remus at bullguard dot com.

This would of course require some time on your side, but if we get to
the bottom of it, we're here to give you some free protection for years
ahead :)
Kind regards

Hi

My brother is also experiencing the same issues. I have reset the laptop
back to factory and installed Bullguard and it works for about a week and
then some updates for either vista or bullguard come through and render the
laptop useless.

I am trying to find a solution but at the moment it is not installing
Bullguard.

Well, I just read this FAQ, which says no. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa948854.aspx So my next question is: is MS going to give us a discount to upgrade to VS 2005 so that I can use Vista? Otherwise, I guess I'll just keep using Windows 2000 until MS prys it out from under me.

I support some legacy applications and use both VB6 and VB7 (.net) development environments on a Windows XP computer. The machine is due for replacement. The question is - can I install vb6 and vb.net on a Vista pc? Is it compatible or does the replacement computer need to have XP on it? Does the .net framework 1.1 work OK on Vista?

My application uses the ADODB.DLL on Windows XP, but when using Windows Vista, this DLL doesn't exist because it's called MSADO.DLL. How can I have multiple assembly versions on the same installer so it chooses the right version (depending on the OS version)?
