    Hi Lads, I'm running Vista Ultimate on a sony S-series laptop and have problems with a few programs? for example Google Talk? For some reason I'm getting the blue screen when I try and run this after install?

    Any advice for me?

    Thanks
    Gary

    I haven't tried google talk on Vista, but I would suggest running it in XP SP2 compatibility mode. If you go to properties on whatever shortcut you use to launch google talk, there should be a compatibility tab visible.

    It works for me , however , here are two things to try ,

    If you are accessing google talk through Internet explorer 7 , then turn off protected mode and see if it works ,

    Failing that ,

    Either turn off UAC ( user access control ... in users on the control panel ) and see if that works , or , try and run google talk in admin mode , ( find the exe , right click and go to properties ) .

    One of those should work ,

    Turning off protected mode did it for me , but I switched to Firefox shortly afterwards as its a personal preference of mine and I have no issues using googletalk now!
