    C++ was around long, long before Vista so if there is incompatibility problems, it is Vista's not C++

    What isn't working for you?

    That would be Vista's problem then. No doubt, the method to inject through Windows API's (which, I assume is what you're doing), has changed, or simply doesn't work the way it used to.

    Are we talking C++ 6 or C++ in .NET 2005?
    The incompatibility is with C++ 6 on Vista as shown in my attachment.

    There are numerous security improvements but most can be resolved by running the process as an administrator.

    It's also possible that Vista has decided (and rightly so) that you need some sort of security rights to arbitrarily inject code into other program's processes.
    Every passing hour brings the Solar System forty-three thousand miles closer to Globular Cluster M13 in Hercules -- and still there are some misfits who insist that there is no such thing as progress.
