Does this program work on Vista?

bigbazza · Mar 23, 2008

I anticipate a lot of hours tweaking #2 sons Vista laptop (yet to be bought) over the next few days.

Has anyone used MRU-Blaster 1.5 - 3/28/2004

It has not been updated since 2004. MG says "Win ALL", but I'd like to be sure before trying it on a new Vista laptop.

Hope you can help. Bazza

Next program I have a query on is Erunt 1.1j at http://www.majorgeeks.com/download1267.html

Also says "Win All" but does not specify Vista in the program details.

ERUNT - The Emergency Recovery Utility NT will help you Backup, restore and optimize your NT/2000/XP registry

These are some of my favourite XP Pro programs and I'd like to install them on the VISTA laptop. Hope you can help, again. Bazza

HI Bazza

Yes it does work on Vista fine ( Lars has the OSes this app works on changed on his homepage to reflect Vista ), I would however change its permissions to run as admin, right click the shortcut and choose properties > compatability and tick the box down the bottom to Run this Application as Admin
( at times the Vista registry is protected unless your running in elevated permissions, may work ok without, but wouldnt wish you to not backup the full registry )
