Programs that work or don't: Windows Vista 5308 [Discussion]

I would like to remove Desktop Sidebar Build 108 from the list. It does install and it does work for awhile, but at some point it locks up due to an incompatibility with DWM.

I worked on it for hours and it only caused problems.

I have not tried older builds of DS as of yet.

VLC media player 0.8.2 works in vista build 5308. No problems at all.

Refused to install in Vista Home Premium version, although it works in the Ultimate edition

My experience wasn't as fortunate. After several failed attempts to install, Vista offered to install it using "recommended settings." That did work, but on the next startup - after everything was loaded - there was zero response from Vista, and both CPU and HD were idle :-?

I had a similar experience as well. But I think Julian posted a "workaround" somewhere. It was for v8.0.
