Delphi6 and Vista



Hi all
Does anyone have D6 running on Vista?

When I load D6 into Vista I get a message saying from Vista saying that D6 is not compatible with Vista. It says to go to Borland for a fix but there is no fix at Borland. I get the same error messages with D7.

When I run D6 and try to load the sample programs I get error messages so I gave up. Is there a fix to allow D6 to run in Vista?

Thanks in advance for help.
Ron
