Program stopped running

I have one program that I'm always having to
restart. The program seems to be running just
fine, then all of a sudden this little note pops
up saying that the program has stopped running
and will shut down.
And it does. I just started using Vista about a
month ago so I'm not really up on it that much.
Does anyone have any ideas about this.

Erm...more info would be helpful, like...what program is it? Also have you checked that the particular program is Vista compatible?

After I posted this I checked the compatibility and found
that in the properties it gave 4 OS options and Vista was
not one of them.
This I should have checked before I made the post.
Thanks for the reply sorry for wasteing your time.
Next time I'll do more research before asking.

Roland - In Vista, the Compatibility mode lets you run the app as if it were another operating system besides Vista. That is why there is no Vista option. ;) Ckeck the box for Compatibility mode, set the drop down to XP and see does that help. That may or may not work (depends on how the program was written originally), so your next step is to check with the maker of the program if there's an patch, update, or new version which works on Vista.

I had tried some of the other options but
they didn't preform the way I wanted.
Thanks again
