If you right click the icon and go to properties, and then to compatibility (i dont have vista so im not sure if its a tab like win XP). Set the program to run in XP compatibility mode and see if it works.

it is stll a tab, but there no such thing as compatibility setting like XP, if i cannot run these software, i dont have a choice but to install XP....

You need to click on the executable in Explorer, not just the shortcut. Then you have the compatibility option.

I got AutoCAD 2007 to work by right clicking shortcut, going to properties, setting to XP Compatibility Mode, and also on the last tab to the right (i think) check the box "run as administrator". It will ask for approval and after clicking yes and run anyway it should work, though I haven't fully tested how well it will work. I hear that if you are using it for 3d you will be dissapointed.
