I have several dozen programs on my graphic machines, and have absolutely NO problems with any of them, including Bryce 4 & 5, Poser 4, Photoshop 6, etc. The only program that has given me constant problems is Vue. If it was a "high-end" program, like the pros use, I can see it needing specific and special care and feeding, but it's advertised to run on Windows platforms. From E-on's requiremnts page: Minimum System Requirements for PC Version Windows 95/98/ME or Windows NT4/2000 or Windows xp, 300MHz Pentium II processor or faster (450MHz recommended), 64 MB of free RAM (128MB recommended), 100 MB of free Hard Disk space, 800x600 in 65K colors/16 bits (1024x768, 24 bits recommended). An OpenGL accelerated video board is not required, but is a big plus. Minimum System Requirements for Apple Macintosh Version Mac OS X, 300MHz G3 processor or faster, 64 MB of free RAM (128MB recommended), 100 MB of free Hard Disk space, 800x600 in 65K colors/16 bits (1024x768, 24 bits recommended). Again, an OpenGL accelerated video board is not required, but is a big plus. I do get a chuckle out of the last sentence....Vue will not work for me unless I disable that function in Vue. Doesn't seem to affect anything else. Anyhow, you have my sympathies for the hassle you went through.
