PLEASE - Before you post your programs here - Ensure you identify which version of Vista you are reporting for (x86 or x64) and be as detailed as necessary. THANK YOU!!

[kd1966]

I don't know how to make it any clearer; You MUST identify the version of Vista to which you are submitting your report (x86 or x64) We do not have the resources available to continually ask for verification and we simply cannot blindly post a program to these lists that are not properly identified.

One more issue as well......... Please understand that we are grateful to those of you that DO report here; it is very important and critical knowledge; however, for the sake of continuity, PLEASE, we need you to identify the VERSION(s) of the programs you are testing. Simply stating "Latest version" will not work, as some programs are in continual/perpetual upgrading mode.
Thank you!!
